Tutorial: Adding a new faction symbol

**stilgar** · 02-26-2008, 20:14

Hello alpaca, and first thanks for your great work.

I was trying to two factions symbol, I tryed the first, it works. But when I added the second it doesn't want to work.

This is what I made :

Code:

shared.sd

tga=modpage.tga

entry=SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_WALES
left=67
top=0
bottom=+33
right=+22

entry=SMALL_FACTION_LOGO_TEUTONIC_ORDER
left=160
top=0
bottom=+33
right=+22

Code:

strategy.sd

tga=modpage.tga

entry=FACTION_LOGO_WALES
top=0
left=0
bottom=74
right=66

entry=FACTION_LOGO_TEUTONIC_ORDER
top=0
left=94
bottom=74
right=160

Here is the modpage.tga :

And this is the error I had :

Thanks for your work

Sorry, I don't really know. Did you extract all the files in the archive to the same directory?

Alpaca, I've added a new .tga file containing faction symbols, using the retrofit .xml files, yet something strange happens: first of all, some areas within a faction icon are unclickable (the icon doesn't light up); secondly, the shape of the lit-up icon is different from the icon's shape, or even the alpha's shape.

I'm suspecting that both problems have to do with the 'clickable' shape, which you mentioned in your tutorial, but I found nowhere specified in the .xml files. What do you think? Is there some 'clickable area file' that I don't know about?

PS. I haven't changed the SMALL_FACTION_LOGO yet, I doubt it should affect anything.
