[QUESTION] Some problems when editing CharacterCreate.XML

[iviaguic]

Hi there, how are u doing?

Well, i have what I consider a very big problem. When I edited my CharacterCreate.XML file, the race icons are not positionet as wanted. I followed a lot of guides and stuff, but i can't get them in their position.

I would really much appreciate your help!

Here my CharacterCreate.XML file:

Code: [Select]


<Frames>
<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton1" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="1">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOP" relativePoint="TOP" x="-50" y="-43"/>
</Anchors>
</CheckButton>
<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton2" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="2">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="CharacterCreateRaceButton1" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-14"/>
</Anchors>
</CheckButton>
<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton3" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="3">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="CharacterCreateRaceButton2" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-14"/>
</Anchors>
</CheckButton>
<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton4" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="4">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="CharacterCreateRaceButton3" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-14"/>
</Anchors>
</CheckButton>

</Anchors>
</CheckButton>
<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton12" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="12">

Thank you very much

Neither is this server side modding, nor do we know how you define "as wanted". Also, the forum lets you add screenshots as attachment.

Thx Schlumpf. Better now?

I think you may need to check CharacterCreate.lua, as many things like that are in fact modified by script at runtime.

It's somewhere around line 25 if I remember well.

Code: [Select]

The problem is your relative anchor points.

Look at button 11 (which I am assuming is Worgen.

<CheckButton name="CharacterCreateRaceButton11" inherits="CharacterCreateRaceButtonTemplate" id="11">
                        <Anchors>
                           <Anchor point="TOPLEFT" relativeTo="CharacterCreateRaceButton12" relativePoint="BOTTOMLEFT" x="0" y="-14"/>
                        </Anchors>
                     </CheckButton>

It is relative to button 12,

If you look at Button 1 and button 2 you will see that button 2 positions itself based on where button 1 is, meaning if you move button 1, button 2 will move aswell, because it is anchored to it. Then, button 3 is anchored to button 2, so if you button 2 moves, so does button 3. And of course this works as a chain. Button 1 moves, makes button 2 move, which makes button 3 move. This continues till button 6.

Button 7, is just like button 1, it has it's own starting point on the page to anchor to. Then 8, follows it onward from there and so on.

You need your new buttons to follow the right buttons. Button 11 needs to be anchored to button 6, and button 12 needs to be anchored to button 10. That's if button 11 is Worgen and button 12 is Goblin.
