Squad Logo and Xml management

[jerryhopper 286]

Hello peeps!

i just *UPDATED my tool on www.armedassault.eu that many people will gonna love!

Online Squadlogo & xml Generator management tool

Here you can create a Community, with several Squads. For each squad you can upload your squadlogo in .png format.

this system will create a SquadXML complete with transparancy and in .paa format for optimal use in armedassault.

Community admins never have to edit or upload your squadxml again!

move your players amongst squads within your community.

Players never have to change their squadxml location again, and can at ANY time fallback to a 'personal' squadxml for when you dont want to play with your community tag/logo.

Guide

Signup your playerID.

- You are now in standalone mode.

Once you have your playerID, you can edit your profile.

click on your player id (nummeric)link in the menu.

there you can upload and select your 256x256 PNG logo with transparancy (this logo is for standalone mode).

Now, you can Join a community - or create your own.

Once you are accepted in a Community ( yours or your friends community ) you can switch to 'Squad Mode'.

This will make your profile use the squadXML that your designated communitie's squad has.

If you have your own community, you can accept/deny requests from people to join your community.

in the community admin you can switch users amongst your squads, which ofcourse changes the XML + logo accordingly.

The Squad XML url can be called from the web, and features a PNG representation of the actual squadlogo.

Custom Stylesheets per SquadXML is implemented, but i have yet 1 template.

here is my personal Squad XML to see what it looks like when called directly:

http://www.armedassault.eu/squadxml/16229637.xml

and this is the Public Squad XML : http://www.armedassault.eu/squadxml/squad_5.xml

I hope this little guide helps.

Everything dynamic! SquadXML + Logo Conversion.

this must me a killertool for lazy clan-admins!

The system doest accept ANY format beside PNG.

to be sure the .paa format is valid, the system requires you upload a 256x256 8 BIT PNG image with transparancy.

With this, all hosted .paa files will be of the same dimensions and approximate size.
