The SECRET to getting images on your newspapers!!!

[flametard]

Its true, you can upload an image to the front page of your newspaper!

heres how:

go into your newspaper code,

toward the top of the front page, you will see a peice of code that generates a picture image from the client>data.

now, create a building called "planet_news" or something. make the model for that building so small that it cant be seen ingame. make sure theres no collisions for this model. now for the texture of this model, upload your newspaper image which must be the same size and format as the default newspaper image (its a crowd of people protesting with signs and it says something like newspaper image for registered planets only)

now find the location of your news-building's texture (your image) in the clients>buildings folder, and copy that location and replace the default newspaper image adress with it.

now, simply build this building near the spawnzone of your planet so players will immediately download it into their clients folder when they land.

now you can customize the newspaper image for your planet!! enjoy!


*note:
other newspaper images cannot be changed because the client automatically rewrites those pages every time a person relogs.

hmm...if i am understanding correctly...

edit the image location line in the newspaper.txt file
player downloads newspaper.txt when they go to read the paper
the newspaper.txt file tells the players client to look in the bldgs folder for a different image
image is used instead of default one?


that is a nice find.
