Title: [TUTORIAL] Making custom holiday events in the calendar
Post by: Ever0n on October 06, 2012, 05:08:12 pm

In the in-game calendar there are notifications for holiday events such as Brewfest, Winterveil and the Lunar Festival. Making your own custom one is perfect for various roleplay events or remembering important server
milestones.

Due to the guides large size and nature, I have created it in a PDF file.

Personally, I prefer editing .csv with notepad++. It's a lot cleaner to look at and it also works great. However, sometimes you might prefer an actual "table" view or something like excel to understand it, so either try excel (while a lesser choice, open office also works) or CSVed.

EDIT:
Else, good tutorial. Though some settings in the dbc you provided differ from the dbc on the wiki - might be worth looking at both to see what you rather think and afterwards share your experience.

Yeah, the column numbers on the wiki are wrong, I'm going to add some stuff to that page later (Holidays.dbc) and some of the other columns documented on it, don't have the same effect in-game, its really weird.
