Getting My Palace's Avs to show up in my Avatar Room

i have set my Palace server to get avatars from a directory in my webhost.

it works for my rooms and backgrounds...i don't get why it wont work for my Palace.

do the avatar filenames have to be named cr(#) like the default avatars that come installed with the client? i have made sure all the avs were made with the custom Palette, and sized correctly, just like my room backgrounds.

Sounds like you are talking about the Instant Palace avatar directory, this holds little GIF's that can be used by the JAVA palace client.

these GIF avatars are not supported by the client, you can't even seee them with the Palace client when someone is wearing them on Instant Palace.

Are you using Instant Palace with your Palace?

What are you trying do? Please be more specific about how you want to use tthe avatars.

Palace Client Avatars (the Palace program you install on your computer) are stored in a prop file called palace.prp, you can not directly acces or edit this file. You need the Palace client to open this file.

I'm not using Instant Palace...don't even really know what it is...being such a noob, lol

I'm using the Palace Server client for Windows that I downloaded from Palacetools.com

About the java applet, I dont want to make the avs specific to that, because i have found so many dead links for it...and i would prefer for users to use the regular Palace client instead.

When I go to most user-owned Palaces, they have one avatar room for the males, and one for female avs. I would be happy with even one
working avatar dispenser room, lol.

i just have no idea where the user owned Palaces store thier own custom avatars, and get them to show up.

Ok So you want the basic setup for proprooms, it is not THAT complicated.

But remember this: running a server is hard work, nothing is 'easy' there is a lot of information you need to read first or you will run into trouble later on. And believe me loosing all your props is not a lot of fun.

Ok first note:

If you want to add a proproom, its a good idea to store your avatars not just in the script but also seperately, hidden from your users as loose props. Meaning you put the actually prop pieces in hidden rooms after you added them to your prop room. The reason for this is simple: The Palace server will throw away any prop piece after some time EXCEPT for the props that are visible in rooms.

If you don't store your prop pieces (avatar pieces, dolls, whatever you wanna call them ) the server will whipe them from the palace server propbag.


There are 2 things you need:
a proproom sript
(you can find one in the sript forum here on the site.)
A prop ID script
This will turnt he props you are wearing into a range of numbers you need for the proproom script to work.

Here is a simple PID (prop ID) script

you will need to add this script to your Palace Client cyborg.ipt file and reload the script/client.

Code:
;PID gives you the ID numbers needed for proprooms
{
0 i = "\x3b\x5b "
{ i USERPROP ITOA & " " & i ++ } 
{ i NBRUSERPROPS < } WHILE
"\x5d" & SAY "" CHATSTR = } CHATSTR "pid" == IF

This is how it works:

Every avatar/ prop has its own unique Id number, you will need to get these numbers into the proproom script so users will see the prrops yyou want when flipping through your proproom.

to get the numbers you use the prop IDD script: wear a avatar you want to add to the proproom, type the command PID and the script will give you the prop ID's in your client log.

The number range you copy from your log (select the range and use CTRL +C to copy from the log) andd paste them into the correcct door of your prop room.

Instructions for building annd operating the proproom should be in the proproom script. Good luck, i hope you know how to build a room andd script your cyborg :P


p.s.

to get more info check out the manuals section here, specifically Palace builders. It has some good tips for newcomers.
