Server Icons

EpX-ShadowReaper

Ok I know that there are admin icons that appear on a server, and the icons that come from the donations, then player testers, and vets. But is there a way to add them just server side. What Im wanting to do something for those people who donate to my server, and I figured that would be the best way to show they supported. So is it possible to add in your own icons server side?

I don't think you can without overwriting your existing icons sprite. Although, this is just a guess.

I would imagine it would have to be a plugin which makes the client download the sprite before they connect. I don't know of any plugin, but it would be very good if somebody made one.

You could possibly try this:
Find which file NS server downloads to get the icons from.
Figure out the format of it.
Modify it to put in the people who donates wonids
Run apache on the server computer, put the file there
Modify your hosts file to add this:
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
natural-selection.org 127.0.0.1
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
Try it now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
You trick the server into thinking it gets the official one, but it gets your modified version..
You may want to add/modify the consgreet to say something about the fact that new const members wont get their icons, unless you update the file like once a week
