The Mana World Forums

Hello, I would like to talk once again about Pam's really good work about the paper party hat that she made here: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... ty#p101311.

I saw on eAthena item_db.txt that there was this item but also colored ones. How can this red paper party hat can be colored? It is already colored! Moreover, i didn't see this dyable paper party hat on git. This means no one changed it so that it can be dyable. Looking for suggestions.

yes I put this in item.db about 12 months ago along with a dyable party hat.
I thought jax had the sprite set to git... idk what happened.
but the base image I have still.

I did not tag any of my images from halloween or christmas events 2009...hmmm one more thing.

there are other items I did for new years originally...noise maker...paper horn..baby new year NPC .anyway here is the paper party hat image.


Uses christmas tree hat xml file.

Hmm... Sorry, I can't being quiet when I see that.

From you see, do you REALLY thing that it fit in game?!

It miss many part from pixelart, also, what does a party hat in themanaworld?

I agree with Reid, the paper party hat that I posted could be 1 single item not dyable!! This is why I ask you to please remove all the other red, green, yellow, etc... paper party hats from the item_db.txt + add the paper party hat + a xml file associated to it which work!

Salmondine, the best idea about the paper party hat of pam is to leave it like that, delete the colored paper party hat from item_db.txt, add the icon shown in my 1st post + xml to git.

IMO, 1 paper party hat will be good enough, we have enough dyable hats atm IMO.

Best regards.

2009 history if you missed it or were not here.
well reid...at the time there was no active eathena dev team..CR1- transition .ceros and I did halloween...freeyorp added scripting and...bingo
24 hours later...start to finish event was pixed and scripted and in GIT. otherwise no event.

Come Christmas no event was planned...nothing...and except for Jax and Freeyorp I had zero help.
so I pixeled chistmas bulbs and snow globes, added snow googles, adapted xml to work here and scripted the event.
because during this period no holiday events would have happened.

so I planned new years event... new years follows close on the heels of christmas,
my advice, if you want a new years event, have it finished before christmas lol.

but yeah, I tested it in a colored version and it looks like a "cheap paper party hat"
and idc if it is removed from item.db at this point.

I really did not want to do anything beyond preserving the tradition of annual holiday events in tmw.
I did that....mission accomplished.

It it is indeed still in item_db.txt
For me, if you do what I asked you to do, it would make things much easier -> not have an unknown item between all others...

we are all doing lots of stuff as of now..
ask your self the same or just do it and post it..

I just request it be deleted from item.db I have zero plans for scripting a new years event.
And I am not writing a patch to do this I am NOT a developer.
Do not wish to be one and have no GIT push access...I don't even have IRC private channel access so scripting anything is sort of pointless.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone here, but for me this just a dead project.

However, If you have a plan that is a different story...do as you will.
A couple other servers, I think picked this up...not sure which ones...
So the colored version I did may exist out there somewhere...it had better shading/perspective also. good luck. =]

*I know this is a pain for wiki...but it is not in my control to fix.

i fixed the outline at the 3rd frame, better shading and less saturation...

1) Very good ChefChelios! Could you try to do the icon at the same time? I am doing the fixing of items.xml + item_db.txt and other things...

2) Could anyone please do the .xml of the Paper Party Hat for me please, I still weak in this part...

EDIT: now, on item_db.txt there is a hole between 2180 and 2189, I don't think that it is a big deal... Here is the .xml + the file items.xml with it. Note: item n°1243 was already designed for it! EDIT2: it would be nice to have it for easter, am i right?

Ali-G wrote:Could you try to do the icon

you can use the first frame for the icon because the hat is round... there is no other perspective..

Could someone please arrange the death frame -> the light is not correct at all! Someone could do the icon for me please? I have real big problems with GIMP on my computer...
When everything will be done (don't forget xml file), please load it up onto server, anybody who can please.

Regards... **** GIMP.

I am bringing this up again because I would like someone to do :
1) the xml of this red paper party hat
2) the icon (which I tried and failed)
3) change item_db.txt (remove all colored paper party hat + have a look at the Paper Party Hat)

I still hope people could finally finish that.

I had to make it a little bigger and reshade it slightly.
added a tilt to the side views so that it doesn't look like the player sprite is turning under the hat. next post will be dyable sprite set and icon image with xml.
