Hi guys.  I'm wanting to make some new character factions for Light and Dark Jedi to replace Rebel and Imperial.  When you open the character sheet on the right there's a spot for your Faction Standing, followed by a box for your Imperial faction then one for your Rebel faction.

Does anyone know how I can change this so it would have the 4 boxes, or how to change the Faction Standing and names for the factions that the points in the box reference?

Really neat idea Pake, have you had any luck figuring this out? Could you just create a new faction to populate the larger factions section and have a vendor to allowing spending on the faction accumulating there?

It calls for

ui_charsheet.stf -> imperialfaction

ui_charsheet.stf -> rebelfaction

for the strings.

I think he was trying to adding 2 additional factional boxes on top of the two for rebs/imps? But, just renaming could be neat enough as well!

Adding them woul def be ui files and I know how.. but would have to look at server code and see how it fills out ui. it's probably client that determines it :| Are you in discord Him?

Like this? Not sure about functionality though. Not sure how faction is placed there/specified as that box. If it is server code and not just packets then easy, but if it requires packets then.. idk how to fill it out.

Oh neat, I think that's exactly what he had in mind. I might try and play around with it too! 

I pop in every now and then, I have my computer on and off throughout the day I forget to get back on.

I was able to add in the two new spaces like you had but just couldn't figure out how to make the sever populate them.  I was, kinda, able to add in the new PvP factions though it was buggy but as soon as I tried to push along another faction to update the character sheet on the client it would crash.  Before I set this aside I remember I was able to replace the Imp/Reb factions and with Light and Dark Jedi but not add even 1 more (which was odd cause it looks like they originally intended Hutt to be its own PvP faction and their was even placeholders on the server-side files for it).

I also thought of replacing Reb/Imp for Dark/Light once the player unlocked but the problem then was the 'Imperial' and 'Rebel' titles on the character sheet are client side.  I bet if I could figure out how to make it so the sever would push the titles (so i could change them) I could figure out how to just add the new ones in lol.

So issue with UI is it reads from client. Client won't have calls for new factions. :/

How about the minor faction list? That list already populates +/- with minor faction points for and against their enemies. Could you just add to that list and make those points spendable?

I'm not sure, they keep the PvP and regular faction separate.  What your saying could work for purchasing faction items etc (I never looked into this at all).  I'm sure there's a few ways this could work.

I'm starting an intro programming class next semester so I'm hoping I'll learn a few things that will help.
