DESCRIPTION:
About two years ago, I discovered that the rank plates of SWG had an appearance file that allowed them to be worn, but this was never made into a wearable for players to use. I've simply applied the appearance of the rank plate to a standard necklace, and made them custom objects for each rank that was available.
INSTALLATION:
Include the files under the "CLIENT" folder in your server's TRE files. Ensure you add each object to your server's main object crc table, located in misc/object_template_crc_string_table.iff
Add the variations for male and female in the appearance table for each gender/species, located in datatables/appearance/appearance_table.iff (This will let the form change between a male or a female. Without this change, every rank plate will appear as though they're on a female body.)
Add the files under the "SERVER" folder to your server's LUA files, under bin/scripts/tangible/wearables/rank. Ensure you connect to the objects.lua file with your allobjects.lua file, and refer to the serverobjects.lua file in the master serverobjects.lua file.
KNOWN BUGS:
The string files haven't been changed on the object files themselves. As well as descriptions, meaning that when you examine a rank plate, it will claim it is a variation of a pleated necklace, and give the description of a necklace. However, in the LUA files, the correct names are given, which will make the rank plate have the correct rank and name.
NOTES:
This simply provides the objects to have in your server. It does not provide a way for your players to obtain them. That will be up to you to decide.
REPACKING THIS MOD:
You will very much want to repack this mod into your server's TRE files. Credit is not required, but greatly appreciated!
