How to ini edit... (REVAMPED Guide and taking special requests)

nunuator

So i've been getting asked to share my tricks on how I personally ini edit to get the strange designs you see on some of my toons...

The basics are as followed....

What is ini editing?
ini editing involves manipulating and toying with in game files for your characters design and overall appearance.

Why ini edit?
ini editing allows you to select colors and modify specific pieces that are not available and or easy to access via the pwi editing system.

How do you get to the ini file?
Program fil
The first step is locating the pwi_en folder on your computer...
For windows it's most likely under program files or program files (x86) [program files(86) in my case]
once you find the pwi_en folder go into it and go to element, then user data, then character, then customize you should have folder that appear like this (Without the names out of course...)

00 is Male BM
01 is Female BM
10 is Male Wiz
11 is Female Wiz
20 is Male Psychic
21 is Female Psychic
30 is male veno (does not exsist)
31 is Venomancer
40 is Barbarian
41 is Female barbarian (does not exsist)
50 is Male Assassin
51 is Female Assassin
60 is Male Archer
61 is Female Archer
70 is Male Cleric
71 is Female Cleric
80 is Male Seeker
81 is Female Seeker
90 is Male Mystic
91 is Female Mystic
100 is Male Duskblade
101 is Female Duskblade
110 is Male Stormbringer
111 is Female Stormbringer

These folders contain the ini edit files so only edit the character files which you name in order to not mess with any game codes by accident..

How do I start?
To start you want to get a makeover scroll and go to the cosmetic master (get a base style that you want from here and use ini to mess with colors and hair)
Save this file as a name you can remember (duck, pumpkin, etc.)
Go back to the file folder and select the folder which contains the class which you are editing (male sin folder 50)
open up the folder and in that folder you should see your file name...
Drag that file onto the desktop since for some reason you can't save changes if it's in there. (make sure it's dragged back into the corresponding folder so it can load the edit in game)
open said file and you will find a list like this

Now let's say I wanted get a yellow duck like DB
I'd choose a yellow from the china forums
http://bbs.178.com/thread-650288-1-1.html

Yellow 纯黄 #FFFF00 255,255,0 16776960

The color code is the last number (16776960 in our case)
and we can put this as the face color, body color and hair color.
To do this we delete the color data found to the right of the = and put in the color code that we want so like this... ( colorBody = 16776960 and colorFace = 16776960)

This allows us to choose specific colors for classes hair, face, eyes and body and even put hair fash on barbs...

nunuator

Yes it's in the same order model then text in the images

Only work for barbs:





Work for barbs and all other toons: (the head pills only work on barbs ex: pumpkin, santa, etc.)





To put hair fashion on barbs we want to look at the hair offset in our ini edit
Note: Hair fashion is only allowed on barbs and hence won't work on other toons
Yes it's in the same order model then text in the images
[Hair]
idHairModel = hair model
idHairTex = hair texture

To get male and female fashion on it requires fine tuning of dials and what not on the barb in order for the fashion to fit

I'd start with the fashion that you want on the toon and fine tune via dials from the cosmetic master

If there is a specific hair/ stache that you want on a tideborn or something save the ini file and look at the ini file for the:
idHairModel and idHairTex and copy them the ini code to the toon which you want it on

For staches on tideborns and barbs etc choose the stache on a BM and copy the

[Moustache]
idMoustacheTex = (this number)
idMoustacheSkin = (this one 2)
idGoateeTex = (this 2)

To your sins ini file for Mustache (note: you must have a colorMoustache = set to something or else it won't work and give you a customization error)

nunuator

This pretty much sums up the guide to ini editing if you want something more in depth do a google search for PWI ini editing guide and you should find some good sources.

If you want a custom edit please post the class and a picture and or description of what you are going for.

Some custom work:

How do some Earthguard have tideborn tattoos and can I do it for a sb/db

nunuator

@blazerboy
Earthguard is the only other class that can get tideborn tattoos and is done by copying the idFaceTex and BodyID numbers for the tideborn tattoos that you like (female must use female tattoos male must use male tattoos)

Pulling face textures only works for tideborn and earthguard classes since they pull idFaceTex from the same location hence why the other races such as nightshade are not compatible with tattoos.
