'''<u>Custom Looks Service</u>'''
 
  
<p>Sir_Odie offers a Custom-Clothing service (similar to Labrat's service which is actually visible but not updated).</p>
+
== Custom Clothes ==
  
<p>To enable this service (to see the clothes) you have to edit the file 'custom_mirrors.lst' in your EL-Program-Folder, replace the content with 'www2.gm.fh-koeln.de' and make sure, in the Client 'Options -> Server -> Custom Looks Update' is enabled (and if you have a current Client also enable 'Show Custom Clothing' there).
+
[[File:Customwizzhat.png|300px]]
On MacOS X put this file in your personal 'Library/Application Support/Eternal Lands/custom' folder.</p>
 
  
<p>You have to restart your EL-Client to activate these changes!</p>
+
*The Eternal Lands client can use unofficial mirrors to display custom clothing and looks in the game. You can even get your own personal or guild clothes hosted on a custom mirror. Links and instructions on how to install them are given on the [[Custom clothes]] page.
  
<p>To have your own clothes or Guild-clothes hosted contact me in-game or via Forum-PM.
+
*Eternal Lands now also has an official custom clothing service, which requires good quality, believable, fantasy clothing. This service costs $10 per texture (''or piece, please confirm'') and should have all inquiries directed to its thread on the Official Eternal Lands Forums.
Personal clothes cost 1kgc per User and Update. Guild-clothes cost 10kgc per Guild and Update.</p>
 
  
<p>This means you pay once for the set of clothes you send me and you pay again if you want to change (add/replace/remove) something.
 
It doesn't matter if you send me 1 piece of cloth or a whole collection as long as you send them at once; the same is for the changes...</p>

The sound is an optional package of 43MB. Download the .zip file below.

After you finished downloading it you will need to unzip it into the directory\folder where you installed the game in such a way so that you will have a sound directory in there.

Example for windows: the directory should look like: C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\sound\
 +
 
 +
It should NOT look like this: C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\sound\sound\

The sound is disabled by default in the client, so after you downloaded and installed the sound, you will have to go in the Options window of the game and enable the sound.

It is possible to play an audio file when a defined text is displayed. The sound package needs to be installed for this.

 +
Thunder2 = You stopped harvesting.
 +
Heal = Hello SolarStar!
 +
 
 +
* The expression "You stopped harvesting." will play the sound Thunder2.
 +
* Warning: Enviromental sounds will be played continuously until you change the map!
 +
* Suitable sound names can be found in the '''snds_enviro.xml''' or '''snds_client.xml''' or '''snds_particle.xml''' or '''snds_actor.xml''' files. Once again, for easier reading xml-files the programm Notepad++ is recommended. Here is an extract:
