THANKS TO ELITE PVERS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE, AND MADE ME LEARN ALOT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE, EVERYTHING HERE IS CLIENT SIDED, THAT MEAN YOU CANT HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT DELETED FOR THIS AND PPL WONT SEE THE CHANGES.*Errors may occurs when patching, this is why it is VERY IMPORTANT to make a backup of all the files you will modify. This guide will contain a small speech abotu backups.
Also, DO NOT DO THIS WHILE PLAYING CO.

WE R GONNA PIMP YOUR CONQUER!
================================================== ================================================== ================

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

1- Modify text

>Change font:
Change NPC Text*** Included with modify NPC section

I know there is a guide to change the City name apparing when you enter them. Could anyone tell me, i would add it.

>Modify all text:
THANKS TO : hellrazer, here is a link to his topic! COme with backup. ->HERE

Ok, his guide explain how to modify every text in CO.
Just look for the one you would like to change. This is easy.
You open StRes.ini with your text reader.
DONT touch anything over the ;----------

ok, here is some example:
10022=The Warrior is adept in the use of all kinds of weapons and armor, and combat skills. <-- modify descrip of warriors when you make your char.
10306=Cool <-- Modify actions

*HOT*
MODIFY EVERY for
and you will see ELITEPVERs web site instead of conqueronline while playing.
Just open your StRes.ini, press ctrl+H (search and replace feature, and then, i hope you know what to do, caus i dunt know how to say it in english)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

2- Modify Armors and Weapons

>

>
(use it for weapon, Asanine's guide for armor is better)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

3- Modify Skins



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

4- Ground Editing


NOTE: I will finish this section as soon as i find out how she did
My lil finger tell me she used the same methode as with the skin guide. Extract, convert, photoshop, convert, intract (is it the word?)
IF YOU FIND OUT, POST IT HERE OR CREATE A TOPIC, I WILL ADD LINK.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

5- Modify NPC

Link to bunnyshaker's guide on changing name:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok here, i will stop with like and carry on:
First: DONT FORGET TO MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR npc.ini BEFORE STARTING.

You can change NPC look by changing thier:
SimpleObjID
StandByMotion
BlazeMotion
RestMotion

For an example: I want store keeper to look like barber. I open npc.ini witch is in
Conquer 2.0&#092;ini
With note pad or any text reader

We see the following:
[NpcType1]
Name=Storekeeper
SimpleObjID=0211
StandByMotion=999001100
BlazeMotion=999001190
RestMotion=999001101
Effect=none
ASB=5
ADB=6
FixDir=0

[NpcType2]
Name=Barber
SimpleObjID=266
StandByMotion=999266100
BlazeMotion=999266102
RestMotion=999266101
Effect=none
ASB=5
ADB=6
FixDir=0

Ok, now, since i want store keeper to look like Barber, i take HIS Simple Obj Id, and put it into Store keeper'id... Then same for Standby motion, blaze motion and everything. Then save. Open your CO and See the difference!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think you can just modify The ID, and put others motion from others NPC. This could end up with a wierd result or maybe something cool!
HAVENT TESTED YET, IF YOU WANNA DO IT, GO ON, IM SUFFERING OF LACK OF TIME.

Also, if you'd like the npc to stand still when talking to him, just change the[FixDir=] line.
Put 0 so he/she/it look toward you. Ex:FixDir=0
Put 1 so H/S/T stay still. Ex:FixDir=1

I dont know what the
Effect=
ASB=
ADB=
lines are all about, if you find out, pm me or post it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++

6- Modify Characters text:
see my MODIFY TEXT section.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
7- Modify Sounds:
TO BE CONTINUED, PRESENTLY VERY TIRED.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
8- Modify Jobs:
Just open ProfessionalName in [ini] folder. Change ur proffesion name to the desired one.
eX: I am a TrojanMaster and i wanna be a PWNER
modify:
15,TrojanMaster
to:
15,PWNER

save and open CO
================================================== ================================================== ================


WHAT WOULD BE COOL:

(those are idea i will try to do, i wont do everything, lets try all togeter finding how they work and posting them here, or making topic and sending me the link)

Weather edit, (Conquer 2.0&#092;ini&#092;weather.ini)
If you could help me to find how it work, it would be fun!

Action Delay (CConquer 2.0&#092;ini&#092;ActionDelay)
If anyone have high maths skill and is very patient, it would be fun to know what the numbers mean, so we could speed up or slow down actions. Ill try, but i aint very good.
ex:
[11000401]<----wtf?
WoundDelay=50
BlockDelay=50
DieDelay=300

Link to elitepvper:
You know when you click help and it bring you to CO main site? I am SURE the link can be changed to elitepvers' forums. If anybody can help here, it would be cool!
================================================== ================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =====================
I Know I havent much, havent discovered much, and most of the ppl here knew about this all. If anybody think it wasent useful, consider it as a LINK TO ALL for CO modifications.
================================================== ================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =====================

Comment? Suggestions? Errors? You dont understand? Tell me.

[deagle]

The stress of doing all that. U must have too much spare time m8

[bobbyaube]

oops posted twice, ill ask the other to be deleted, post in here.

*Updade*
Since i cant update my first post, every news will be here.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Changing Autopatch:
Pictures are in:
Conquer&#092;data&#092;AutoPatch_Pic.

You can eighter change the pic (make a backup before )
or open <<config.ini>> and change thier name and format.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PICTURE NEED TO BE IN THE FOLDER AND THE FORMAT MUST BE THA SAME.
Under [pic], is written count=3
Co will choose randomly one of the three pic. You can incrase it to or decrease it if you want by changing the number after count.
if you increased the number, do not forget to add the number of pic and its name AND fomat. Example: I want another picture to appear. I put the picture in the folder. The picture is called Dragoon And is in BMP format.
I change:

count=3
pic1=1.jpg
pic2=2.jpg
pic3=3.jpg

to

count=4
pic1=1.jpg
pic2=2.jpg
pic3=3.jpg
pic4=Dragoon.bmp

[Havent tested yet]
[pictures coming]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
Changing sounds:
Every sounds are in
Conquer&#092;Sound&#092;
You could change the ActionSound.ini
but it is way too long so just open the sound folder, listen to them, and change those you want. First make a backup, then erase the sound you dislike, take the one you like, RENAME IT THE SAME EXACT NAME. DONT forget to put it in wma.


If you need a media converter, i use Wingroove

Just open your media, click folder, create new media and save it uder .wav format
By changing sound effect like sand and wind to a song from rtp, you will add music to CO. Ex: water.
If you change water to another song and rename it water, when you will be near Phonix Cave, you will hear your song perfectly. It add fun to COnquer.

editing terrains is easy, heres how you do it:
-All the terrains are located in Conquer>Ani>
-Download uknownone wdfextractor
-Extract the terrain you want using wdf extractor.
Type /Ani/sand.ini to extract desert citys terrain
Type /Ani/island.ini to extract bird islands terrain
-After you extract the files they are located in Conquer>Data>map>puzzle
-Download photoshops dds plugins
-start editing
-you dont need to compress the edited files and when you get bored of your edit just delete the folder created by wdfextractor and your terrain will go back to normal

yes, my english sucks but I hope you can understand this mini guide xD

*Posted just a little below*
I will make a guide on how later, its easy, it is the same way as for skins.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
How to backup for noobs.
(for windows)
While pimping your CO, you migh accidentally destroy or change some important data, and if you dont know what you did wrong , you will need to instal CO again, and thus, loosing your pimped data.

To prevent this, you make a copy of anything you need to make a backup.
How? SImply right click on your what you will edit, select Copy, then right click anywhere on your folder and select Paste. You will then see appear a icon of your data, named Copy of XXXX.
Rename it: XXXX backup and your done! Congratulation!

Holy ****.

EDIT: On sounds, I created a sound folder that is conquer's sounds but nearly every sound is rewritten by sounds from starcraft. I posted it on ePvpers, but noone noticed so it was removed. Pity that had to happen, but yeah I might post it later on when people want another change.

[yaoyeng]

wow..nice job..thx for the tip///!!!

the terrain its not 1 file but a lot of small files together.

for example, if you want to edit desertcitys sand you have to unpack conquer>ani>sand.ini and when its unpacked you have to edit the files located in Conquer>data>map>puzzle>desert>sand there are 121 dds files in that folder and you need to edit each one of them :P
