Question 2 part A. Answer: The correct format for this file is:-

_g+

ma = matis armour
fa = fyros armour
za = zorai armour
ta = tryker armour
ca = common armour
+
_l = light
_m = medium
_h = heavy

Hum, i forgot to answer to that message.

Here some clues:

Question 1 A.

You will find a bunch of character maps in data/characters_maps_...
For each armor part, you will find 3 variants and 8 colors, 24 texture files (dds).

Question 1 B.

All those family ids appears in code\ryzom\common\src\game_share\brick_families.h
But only BCMAEA and BCRAEA are used.
I found no trace of the others, so i believe those ids were never used.

Question 2 part A.

Your answer is fine.

Question 2 part B.

You're right.

Question 3 A.

As you can see in code\ryzom\common\data_leveldesign\leveldesign\game_element\sitem\melee_weapon\refugee\icrm1pd.sitem for the refugee dagger:
<ATOM Name="origin" Value="refugee"/>
the origin is "refugee"

Question 3 B.

All armors comes with 8 colors.
You can specify the color in the sitem using for example:
<ATOM Name="color" Value="White"/>

You will find the color list here:
code\ryzom\common\data_leveldesign\leveldesign\DFN\game_elem\_item\item_color.typ

The refugee armor is a special case.
You found a set of sitem, one per color per armor part.
It's the depracated way for the colors.
You should use the previous method.

Question 3 C.

You will find only one parent, for all the refugee armors.

Hi molator

Thank you for the reply.

I have started to progress further on my own. But the information you have provided has cleared up a couple of loose ends.

Even though it is a bit old school I have made, and making more, batch files to create all armour sitem and sbrick folders and files. I do need someone to proof the output sometime in the next couple of days or so. It has only taken a couple of days to make them so expect alot more if they are any good to the community. I will share them once they are proofed.

On another note. Are there any details for trainer npcs you could direct me to?

My data are in a mysql db and i'm generating my own sheets using php scripts :).

You've got everything i know about the trainer in your other post:

Durrrrr

Sorry forgot about that post lol ..

Using mysql was my intention but I got a bit carried away with old school batch files lol..

So far I have 3 bat's with around 6 - 8k lines in each lol.

Still have my Spreadsheets though, so can generate the sql from them. In creating the batch files I did come accross a minor error in the folder structure.

Something you might be aware of having spent a lot longer than me looking at this.

In "code\ryzom\common\data_leveldesign\leveldesign\game_element\sbrick\craft2 there is a folder named "recommended" this folder isn't needed as the contents should be here "code\ryzom\common\data_leveldesign\leveldesign\game_element\sbrick\craft\credit\recommended". The content of the former is matis and the content of the latter is zorai but the same sbrick level.

So I have corrected this in my batch files folder creation.

For now as I have done quite a lot I will carry on with my bat's, as I am a bit batty myself, and do a rework into php/mysql later from the files them selves as they are in xml format.

I have a really stupid/annoying question here, the hash codes in the language files; are they just made up, do they get generated when the items and bricks get used/packed or compiled, is there a generator to make hash creation for these easier?

Thanks

You can create as much folders as you want, just a matter of organization.

I'm using made up hash codes.
The hash codes in the language files look like generated one.
I don't know yet how to generate new one.

Edit: maybe in code\ryzom\tools\translation_tools,
search makeHash

hmmm looks very promising

Molator,

You are correct, translation_tool is what accomplishes this. The brief version of this story is that translation_tool has a number of stages and at the completion of transation for a given worksheet it will generate a hash-value based upon the string or phrase. It uses this hash value to determine if the local string (in code/ryzom/tools/translations/work) differs from the translated string (code/ryzom/tools/translations/translated). If the strings differ then new files will be created in the diffs folder for translation and later merged.

One of the first stages of this process is to extract any new sheet names, region/place names, bot names, mission titles and so on from the sheets and primitives. This is an easy way to collect up untranslated strings. We haven't added this into the build_gamedata pipeline so you're kind of on your own to determine how it works for the time being.

Thanks,
