Testing Customs

Sometimes we submit customs that have a problem and you have to keep resending them to fix the problem. This tutorial will show you how to test them before submitting to Graal. Just follow these steps: (EDIT: If your head isn't already the default head, then type "sethead head0.png". There are other heads you will be able to use to test it out, but the default is easiest to keep track of.)

Step 1: Download the PC version of Graal from here: http://www.graalonline.com/playerworlds/downloads/



Step 2: After downloading it, search "levels" on the start button at the bottom left of your computer.



Step 3: After searching "levels", find the folder that has "Graal" labeled under it.



Step 4: Click on the Graal levels folder and then find the folder of which type of custom you want to test (swords, shields, bodies, heads, etc.). I'll just show you guys a test with a body.



Step 5: Rename the file you want to test to the default body that your guy is wearing on Graal PC which would just be "body".



Step 6: Replace the Graal PC default with your renamed custom.



Step 7: Sign in as a guest on Graal PC and choose "Unholy Nation".





Result: (I used the sasuke body me and ezio made as an example.)

This also works on other servers like Zodiac. Except you won't be able to test out a sword on there I don't think. Anyways, I hope this helped! NOTE: Anyone with the body you have on will be seen with it on your screen as well. The default names for each section is body.png, head0.png, shield1.png, sword1.png.

 

Ooh, nice. I'll try to remember to +rep. But it would be nice if they had it just for iPhone, and have it way easier.

Yeah, I tried doing this on my jailbroken iPod, but I don't think you can add pictures on to iFile. I use this all the time since a lot of my customs often have flaws in them.  

Can the same be done with the default head?

Yup. Just rename your custom to "head0" and replace it and when you sign on your head will be the custom one you replaced it with. Just make sure it's a png. I haven't figured out how to test gif heads yet. If your head isn't already the default head, then just type in "sethead head0.png".  

This thread prompted me to add an image resizing mod to the forums, congrats. In other news, I think TaylorRichaards.com is going to have something where you test your graphics out without going through long ass processes as I know how tedious they can be

Lol I was wondering if that message was because of me. I apologize for that. I felt too lazy to resize all of them.  

It´s nice but I´d always prefer using the level editor (for the players which knows how to use it). Else like I said it´s nice.

You can add them from your PC (like using WinSCP). Just rename it than and you are done. Used to do that for testing my hat´s.

Obviously that message was for you, your the only one who posted pictures

Anyway, cool thread, i didn't even know you could change your head on level editor.  

In the editor it's so easy lol:

setplayerprop #3,somehead.png;//changes your head to somehead.png
setplayerprop #8,somebody.gif;//changes your body to somebody.gif
setplayerprop #2,someshield.png;//changes your shield to someshield.png
setplayerprop #P1,somehat.png;//changes your hat to somehat.png

So easy  

yeah better idea Tricxta  

Oh he wasn't even talking about Level editor? Well i guess i should say it now. I didn't even know you could change your head on level editor. ;)

Well like I said above it´s easier in the level editor if you have advatage with it. Else it might be hard for players to remember the commands.  

Just please don't upload the replaced default file to a Graal server so that it screws up other people.

Great guide, + Rep (Edit: I can't!)  

I use winscp but this way seems a tad easier
