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:

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 CO premade text:
THANKS TO : hellrazer, here is a link to his topic! COme with backup.

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

>Modify City Name Appearance

2- Armor and Weapon Editing


*HOT*
Armors can also be editied via texture (located in conquer&#092;C3&#092;texture)
They are in dds, so you will need photoshop and a dds converter (see (x.X)'s guide about dds editing
(witch is http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/index.php?...108&t=36118&s=)

There are many textures in there so I suggest you use tumbnail viewer OR this short guide on finding the write folder:
From Asanine

PLEASE NOTE THAT ARMOR TEXTURES ALWAIS START WITH 00 AND ARE COMPOSED OF 9 NUMBER!
1st digit: Body (Character)

1 = Small Female
2 = Big Female
3 = Small Male
4 = Big male

2nd and 3rd digit: Always 13 b/c this gives it the armor attribute in item.ini

4th digit: Job

0 = Trojan
1 = Warrior
2 = Coat/Dress
3 = Archer
4 = Taoist
5 = Trojan Master
6 = Warrior Master
7 = N/A
8 = Archer Master
9 = Taoist Master

5th digit: Color (Colors may vary with armor type)

0 and 1 = N/A
2 = Black
3 = Orange
4 = Light Blue
5 = Red
6 = Dark Blue
7 = Yellow
8 = Purple
9 = White

6th digit: Level of armor

Ok there's been some confusion here, and I don't think I've explained it properly so I'll break down the lvls by class:

Noob:
0 = Coat (lvl 1)
1 = Dress (lvl 2)

Trojan and Warrior:
2 = 15
3 = 22
4 = 32 (colors 2-5) 40 (colors 2 and 6-9)
5 = 47 (colors 2-5) 57 (colors 2 and 6-9)
6 = 70
7 = 87
8 = 100
9 = 110

Archer:

2 = 15
3 = 27 (colors 2-5) 42 (colors 2 and 6-9)
4 = 57
5 = 67 (colors 2-5) 77 (colors 2 and 6-9)
6 = 87
7 = 97
8 = 107
9 = 112

Taoist:

2 = 15
3 = 22 (colors 2-5) 32 (colors 2 and 6-9)
4 = 40 (colors 2-5) 47 (colors 2 and 6-9)
5 = 57
6 = 70
7 = 87
8 = 100
9 = 115


There is a bit of confusion here, as some colors are limited at this level in order to mix 22/32/40/47 (27/42/67/77 for archers) together without exceeding the 9 digit for normal classes.

7th digit: Always 0

So if i want to edit A WHITE, SMALL FEMAL, TAO ARMOR LV 70.
I search (conquer&#092;C3&#092;texture) for 001134960, i open with photoshop.

Now i can go in photoshop, open the folder, and play with hue
(Image->Adjustement->Hue/Saturation) or press ctrl+U.
Now i play with hue to make the yellow trim blue.
(Make sure you dont change the face color because it will be your char?s face)

And you can put pattern too where you want. Check the pic to know how.

Then save.
And watch the result!!


>Weapon edit:
(use it for weapon, Asanine's guide for armor is better)

>Modify weapons glow:


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

3- Modify Skins




Here is what it look like:


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

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.
Edit: Done

>Changing Terrains:

Thanks to hondureno

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

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

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
5- Modify NPC

Link to bunnyshaker's guide on changing name:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok here, i will stop with link 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.
*HOT*
Npc can also be edited via textures. (&#092;Conquer 2.0&#092;c3)
Editing is same as for armor.
NPC's file name usualy start with 999.
Monsters too can be pimped that way.
This is to be continued.

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

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

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
*HOT*
7- Modify Jobs:
Just open ProfessionalName in Conquer&#092;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

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

*Updade*

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
*HOT*
8-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 THE 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]
[i know there is a topic on it but i made this one b4]HERE

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

9-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.
*HOT*

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.
Here are my own custom sounds and musics, i got more, just pm me
] [color=red]My own edited Jump sound for those who are bored of the old one[COLOR][/URL]


]Play a nice song when near PC top[/URL]




Put them in:Conquer&#092;Sound&#092;

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

http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/index.php?...unread=1&hl=&s=

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
11-Changing link on CO client

(Put them in Conquer&#092;data&#092;main)

14-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: XXXXbackup and your done! Congratulation!

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

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 (Conquer 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
Edit:I think i found out, to be continued

Link to elitepvper: DONE
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!

This post is where i will put my news

I found out how to Edit the first thread.
Since there was Html in it it blocked the post.

So i saved a working Html files when edditing my post and I saved the one that wasnt working.
I found out that the not working page had some html errors within it. So i took the Coding of the working page and put it inside the not working one, just after the error had begun.
I saved it to a new html file. Then i opened it up. There i had my edited post WITH the submit modified post button. I cliked the button and at my greatest surprise. It was written <<Your post has been edited, please wait while we transfer you>>.

w00t.

If you ever happen you are not able to submit your modified post pm me i will explain you in better english.
