Clan symbol

i am having a hard time geting my clan symbol to show up. i have been trying to input the local [C:/emblem.bmp] and it is not working...im not exactly computer savy so i cant realy get this on my own...if ANY one can help please do..i realy need it.

Make sure the image is in 256 colors. That's what caused my friend making the emblem most problems (she kept forgetting to reduce the number of colors ;) )

it is but it still doesnt want to show

The crest must be 16x12 pixels and saved in 256 color *.bmp file format. Also, you may be typing the path incorrectly -- it should be C:\emblem.bmp.

It does work with the / too, Mistryl. With a german keyboard, you cannot get a \ in game and I am 100% sure, that I did set my clan crest with c:/wildcat2.bmp ;)

Wild Kitten

i guess i have a german key board in america..weird..cause i am unable to get a " \ " in game....its shows as a large W with a line through it...

that large W with line trough it works just fine :)

im on now so ill give it a shot

it still wont work..it says file not found...i have the crest saved in my pictures file as 256 color bitmap and it is 16x12 .....

"file not found" is becoming my most hated phrase....i have tryed the code [c:Wemblem.bmp] where the W is the crazy symbol that appears as apposed to the \ that should, and its still says file not found...
there has to be some thng i am doing wrong...

i could be wrong... but don't u just put the file in they system foler of l2 and just type the file name?

ex:
save 'crest.bmp' to c:\games\lineae2\system

then in game go to 'set crest'

and just type 'crest.bmp' I'm pretty sure it use to be this way...

it still wont work..it says file not found...i have the crest saved in my pictures file as 256 color bitmap and it is 16x12 .....

My pictures is a wrong folder for C:\ path.
Generally My Pictures folder resides in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner
or similar path. It's not exactly the same as C:\

1. Open My Computer and move to My Pictures folder.
2. Select your bmp file and select it for copy operation. (make right-click on it, chose Copy option in context menu).
3. Move explorer view to C: folder (there are many ways):
a) move to Explorer address bar (input line), clear the line (select the whole text and press Del), type C:\ in the line, press Go button.
b) C: in explorer navigation pop-up (it opens when you press down button in address bar)
c) Open new explorer window with My Computer shortcut double-click and then double-click on C: "folder"
4. Paste selected file here in root C: drive folder (right-click on empty place and choce Paste option from context menu. If it's not active, you probably lost selection somewhere in the way)

Alternatively drag and drop the file from My Pictures folder to C: folder.

Alternatively open file in Paint, chose File-Save as... option and type C:\emblem in file name line (don't forget to select 256 bmp as file type).

After that you'll have emblem.bmp file in proper place for input.


File in My Pictures probably has full-qualified name C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Pictures\emblem.bmp

You can try it, but I doubt that LA2 will inteact spaces in folder names correctly. You better copy the file to C:\ folder - it's sure way ;)

If the crest.bmp is in the root directory of your c: drive, enter c:\crest.bmp (notice the direction of the \). Also, it appears as a weird looking W on your L2 screen.

the exact problem i am running inot is that i have the emblem in my c: drive already and it is 256 color bit man and 16x12 and all that jazz....but the code im using to input it into the game is NOT working...and i have tryed both the large W snf the / symbols...neither have worked...

Did you type c:\crest.bmp?

in the long run it turned out to be my piece O' crap computer..my gf's amazing labtop handled it just fine :) thanks to all for the help :)

what server are you on?
tell you what I'll do.
you tell me what server you are on and when I get to play on Thursday, I'll make an alt. You can add me to your clan and give me permissions. Then you can email me the crest. I will get it on your clan and then leave the clan.

PM me tomorrow afternoon if you haven't figured it out by then.

Only way I could get the crest to show up on the C4 PTS:

1) Drop the crest into the "Lineage 2\System" folder
2) Enter the crest as "name.bmp" (NO path info.)

Worked like magic for me.

You guys are all a bunch of nincompoops. In the system folder of your l2 directory there is a subfolder named Crest copy the file from where you have it then paste it in there. When youre done with that type in THAT file path. C:\blahblahblah THEN ye got yerself a clan crest.

lol youre a nincompoop by telling this BS.

Its been said numerous times before:

make ****! sure crest is 16x12 at 256... !!!!!

Place it in C:/ (only than you wont have to type alot)

You must use the / not the W no mather what country keyboard you have. The symbol is still the same :/

Ex.: Crest is called nincompoop.bmp (16x12 at 256 colors)
correct line will be
C:/nincompoop.bmp

Also make sure youre clan is lvl 3.
Lower lvls are not allowed to place an Clancrest. :D

i thank all of you for the help..but as i said above..it was the fact that my desk top computer is a POS. if you have a toon on hindmith and you see any one runing around with a dollarsighn ne3xt to their head its probably one of my clan mates cause no one else ive seen has he same symbol as us. ;) hope to see at least one of you oin game..a rec. seems to be n order
