[Resolved] Custom Pet Illustration

[ngek202]

Is there anyway to change/modify it instead of just the Poring Illustration?

[Flaid]

Could you please explain what exactly you want?

[ngek202]

oh this is what I mean.

so by default when you add a Custom Pet the Illustration is a Poring anyway to change that?

[FatalEror]

Open ../Lua Files/datainfo/petinfo.lua

Add:

PetIllustNameTable = {

...

[jobtbl.JT_MONSTER_NAME] = "filename.bmp"
}

Then put your custom illustration in ../data/texture/À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º/illust/filename.bmp

Maybe this isn't really possible tried adding infos on petinfo.lua still didn't work..

I also tried to replace the Porings Illustration just to check if will also change the Custom Pets Illust and yes it change. so I think all Custom Pets are attached to the Poring LOL..

or if anyone already did this and if it's possible can you share

Messing around with my own petinfo.lua, I came upon some pretty odd behavior. (or is this expected? 0.o)

Well, taking it from the top:

npcidentity.lua, make sure that the monster you want to pet is between "JT_MON_BEGIN" and "JT_MONSTER_LAST".

Also, the stuff between the quotes is important. You don't have to use that name exactly, but when you choose something, make sure to stick to your choice.

jobtbl = {
-- other monsters here
["JT_4_M_CUSTOM00"] = 3000, -- //or whatever MonsterID you'd like.
-- other stuff
}

jobname.lua

Notice what's inside the square brackets, it's important that you stay consistent with this.

JobNameTable = {
-- stuff nuff said
[jobtbl.JT_4_M_CUSTOM00] = "mymob",
}

petinfo.lua

Again, we're using the same name in the square brackets.

PetIllustNameTable = {
-- stuff here
[jobtbl.JT_4_M_CUSTOM00] = "유저인터페이스\\illust\\펫_SUCCUBUS.bmp",
}

From all this, what I'd expected to see was my pet having Succubus' pet illustration, but instead I got this.

So it seems like my client (2011-01-11aRagexeRE) uses the first frame from the sprite as the illust. (I've tried making it try using some nonexistent file, but it seems that as long as the monster is defined in petinfo.lua then it will do this.)

Whether that's what is expected, or if it's because my client is heavily hexed I'm not sure. You might want to try a later client perhaps?

If all fails, you might as well fire up Olly, and try to figure out how to hex it into the client.

Just thought I'd at least give ya what I got.

Hope it works out for ya.

It's possible to add a custom illustration image

Here what i've got after test it:

showing Poring illustration → Client doesn't read your petinfo.lua or you didn't add it in petinfo.lua correctly

showing monster sprite → Client can't find your pet illustration image

Gravity Error → Your illustration image size is incorrect

BTW, what is your client date and what monster did you want to add as a pet?

I'm motivated to try this on my own now Thanks for that Screenshots.

Oh yeah and the Pet I was trying was a Custom Monster too., Lhz Biolab Dungeon 5

@Shag & FatalEror guys can request if you can try it also with Custom Monsters?

for example:

Please take note that petinfo.lua was implemented in 2010-12-01

what what my log says

http://trac.assembla.com/ClientSide/changeset/104

this means that it wont work before that date.

The mob I was trying, Azenis is quite custom.

Didn't try a non-custom one, but I doubt that there's a difference between a custom mob and an 'official' mob nowadays. (With luas and all.)

Make sure your client supports(reads) petinfo.lua I guess.

(If you're unsure whether your client reads petinfo.lua. I'd try seeing what happens, if you try running the client with an empty petinfo.lua. Just to know if it's actually looking there.)

[ngek202]

@Shag yeah I did try Running the client w/o the petinfo.lua and yes it still Run.

Same problem, I reopened a topic :

http://rathena.org/board/topic/75175-qpets-picture/

The client see the lua, because others pets aren't poring.
