any updates

*Cricket noises*

OnTopic: Can we get some proper 128x128 .png emblems, the tiny blurry ones are pretty old hat. And what happened to the transparency of .pngs in old emblems that worked a year ago? I was pretty salty when I found some old transparent emblems for clans no longer worked and just looked like ass with nasty forced conversion to .jpg why would you remove variety like this.

Yes that's possible. Will add support for it (although I have no idea how GunZ will handle that).

GunZ should be able to handle it to my knowledge, well at least the PNG part.

If you're referring to the 128x emblems if it's possible or not, I speak from experience that I made the clan page display 256x emblems, you just need to change the max size of the emblem in the xml via moving things around. And of course change the file uploading changes to reflect on the new max size.

I did that for Hymn's long dead server back in 2000s. 256x is pretty massive, so 128x is a nice medium so we dont have to see upscaled and nasty looking emblems but make sure to change the xml file or it won't do much good and if you dont, it will still upscale or downscale on the clan page.

Spoiler!

It was also the first server to have shop from gamerooms, with a completely different take on clan wars, and many other unique features. Too bad Kyle halfassed hosting it.

For some reason I believe we had 150x150, might be wrong here.
Also game room as in the stage room (where you select the map, players and such), if so it is pretty easy to add a shop button in there.
Just wondering with what the "completely different take on clan wars" is, cause I am all ears for that.

FG might have 150x (havent measured it) but the file upload only supports 64x so everything is blurry and shitty when upscaled. If you're going to do any upscaling or downscaling make sure its an even ratio or it will look like ass, which is why I suggested 128x being double the size but still an even ratio. I know that from many years of working in photoshop.

The completely different take on clan wars was that we revolved things around entire factions so you would choose your side and have battles between warring factions and the total of everyone in that faction would be measured against everyone in the other faction. It's basically the same as MMOs do race wars, it was a lot of fun and very different for GunZ to have it. It also meant that we removed the limitation of a clan (which was now a faction) being full.

Spoiler!

To spice things up we (mainly lead by me) edited the xml shop to lock out some of the equipment that was by GunZ's own lore belonging to another faction. It wouldnt be right for someone who's in Axium to be running around with a set from Travia for example. It made choosing a side more meaningful and more in depth than just everything being a cosmetic rainbowland. We built the server following the lore MAIET built into the game they didnt ever bother to explain, for example the Mansion is in Axium territory but Port and Town are in Travia. You can see the insignia of Axium in mansion (it's the unicorn)


Then there was the other factions like the outlaws (like iron crow) and factions from other lands which is where sets like Fimbul come into play.

Sounds really great, but I do not know if people are waiting for it.
I would use 3 factions in this case.
