Link Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Can someone give me link to custom clothing http://www.gm.fh-koeln.de/~linke/EL-Services.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted August 25, 2009 How do we fake the CRC check or whatever it is so that the item can be accepted as a custom clothing update? I believe there is a CRC check or something like that and that any that don't match will be rejected by the client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robotbob Report post Posted August 25, 2009 I didn't vote. I would have voted no, but there isn't such option. Since I'm aware of custom clothing, but choose not to use it. Every example ,except for the offical custom capes, were obnoxious and more like graffiti. I would never use it, but would rather it be an offical source that could be regulated. To me, it looks like a lost source of revenue for the game, if anyone can set up a server and charge for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chosen Report post Posted August 25, 2009 I tried it for a little, looks really silly IMO, not good.. Not like the official capes anyways. Would have voted no. I personally think radu should host these, or a slightly different design from normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogimus Report post Posted August 26, 2009 TBH, I've emptied and chmod'd some of the player folders It would be nice for the customs to be official (and reviewed/approved) but I imagine that it would be a nightmare to moderate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted September 1, 2009 It's come to our attention that there is at least one copy of a mod cape being used in these files, with the player's name on it. This is a big NO. It is mod impersonation. Anybody caught wearing a cape like this, creating a cape like this, or hosting a cape like this will end up banned. Seriously, use some common sense people. The mod cape is off limits in any form other than the official version worn by real mods. It looks like this: And of course obscene and otherwise deemed inappropriate items will have action taken as well. It may be unofficial, but a fair number of people will see them, both by having the service themselves, and images posted elsewhere. Please use common sense when requesting an item, when creating an item, and when hosting an item. If you see something that is inappropriate (and no we don't mean superman or skimpy bikinis...while foolish looking in EL, is not obscene and is simply a matter of taste), please let a moderator know. Curse words, obscene images, racism, impersonation...you get the idea. If posting any pictures using these unofficial files, you MUST clearly post as well that these images are unofficial and not a representative of true EL.

Looter Report post Posted September 2, 2009 If this is what you are refering to i would like to make it clear it was never ment to be a "copy" of a mod cape, though i can see where you are coming from. It simply made sense that should any logo be used on a cape then the EL logo was most appropriate, as for the colour that too was never intended to be the same as the mod cape, i accidently created this color cape while messing with photoshop and liked it so much because in the right light conditions it looks like true gold. I do remember doing a search at the time and finding somewhere that the EL logo was allowed to be used for game related stuff so assumed it was ok, i also remember asking labrat at the time it was added if it was ok and he seemed to think there was nothing wrong with it. I have been wearing this cape for about 3 years and never once has any assumed im a mod because of it. I should also make it clear that there is about 6 other people that have this cape. After reading this i will pay sir_odie to delete them all and notify the others, should labrats version become available again i will also ask him to do the same. Sorry for any inconvienience created here but i just want you to know that impersonation was never the objective here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XenaMT Report post Posted September 2, 2009 No, I don't use it. No, I didn't vote because I do know about it. I will never use it. There are plenty of tailored items in-game, hundreds of possible combinations. Why do we need more? I don't like the fact that anybody's whims can decide what they 'wear'. It would be an awful shame to have potential new player's first impressions of EL tainted by tasteless, amateurish, pornographic or otherwise offensive designs if the first glimpse they get is one of these screenshots. Although I respect that people want to have an original look and that undoubtedly a lot of hard work went into the establishment and operation of this 'service', I am of the opinion that nobody besides the game devs should profit off this and that any and all designs be submitted for approval from the head honchos. With the workload they already have, I can't see them racing to add to that, either. My 2 euro-cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Looter Report post Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I find it strange that you should find my explanation deserves deletion anyway i have sent sir_odie the names of all people with this design of caped so that he can delete them, impersonation of mods was never intended. edit: hmm strange my explanation wasnt deleted, just for some reason the forum wasnt showing it lol. now it is (strange) Edited September 2, 2009 by Looter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been more appropriate to ask a mod (and for the record, WE were asked if you are a mod. Not until just recently did somebody add on the info about your cape which we did not know about. It does make me wonder too if the other people with some version of this cape are some of the other people we get asked about...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been more appropriate to ask a mod cmon, this is a bit ridiculous and unfair to Looter as well. He paid for that service and already removed it. Why not write MOD on the mod capes, if you dont want misunderstandings. I didnt even know, that mods have a special cape up to now, so i dont think there is any real harm or damage based on that cape design thing. relax, Gilrain PS: might be good to point players to a compilation of those 'extra rules', if you really want to ban ppl based on them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quesar Report post Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, I use custom clothing. I just finished making the LNX guild capes with a viking type tux on them, and have them hosted with sir odie's service. Our guild loves it! I really like having the custom look. I think some of the custom clothing out there is not done well though. I especially don't like when cape colors are changed completely so you can't tell what they are. imho, the custom clothing people should not allow complete color changes on capes. Also, armors/weapons should still be recognizable as what they are. Other than those minor problems, I really like the service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
