Hi
Today I want to tell you how you can add your faction symbol in the statistic screen.
You should know about adding buttons into this game for this tut.
First we go to to data\ini\mappedimages\aptimages\aptcomponents.ini
Search for "Men" and you will find this Code:

Code



MappedImage AptIconMen

  Texture = AptComponents_001.tga

  TextureWidth = 512

  TextureHeight = 512

  Coords = Left:222 Top:224 Right:258 Bottom:260

  Status = NONE

End

This is the base code. Now you should know how your faction is called in the playertemplate.ini, delete the "Faction" and add it instead of "Men". I am using my new Faction for this Tutorial, which is called "Numenor"
So here is the new code:

Code



MappedImage AptIconNumenor

  Texture = AptComponents_001.tga

  TextureWidth = 512

  TextureHeight = 512

  Coords = Left:222 Top:224 Right:258 Bottom:260

  Status = NONE

End

Now you can change your icon, for this you should know about adding buttons in the game.
I made a new image for my faction "Numenor", so I changed the code:

Code



MappedImage AptIconNumenor

  Texture = arnorstatt.tga

  TextureWidth = 512

  TextureHeight = 512

  Coords = Left:0 Top:0 Right:512 Bottom:512

  Status = NONE

End

And here is the ingame result:
Click here for the screen

I hope that you know now how to add these images ;)

How do you create statistic pictures and info (eg.time played as a certain faction in statistics menu) for a new faction.

And also put it in game, any clue?

Yes

Ridder Geel (Staff) - Monday June 9, 2008 - 11:21

So you can use this method to make new icons for factions without having to replace the old ones from other factions?

@trodus yes it is, I tested it with a complete new faction, too and it worked

ched (Team Chamber Member) - Saturday June 7, 2008 - 18:57

Most excellent! Let's hope this works in BfME1!

I'll let you know soon enough

for example, if i have a new race, like Mirkwood and I add them as new one, it is able to give "Mirkwood" a new icon?

Turin Turumbar - Saturday June 7, 2008 - 8:07

no, you can add it for your new faction and you can edit it for the old factions
