    Would it be possible to add multiple layers of ordinaries? That would enable at least a little more complexity without adding more art.

    BTW that is great news and much clearer.
    You might want to put that into the OP so that late comers don't twist panties unnecessarily.

    Some of the items for party per fess do not seem to reflect in the window if I pick sapine, embattled, rayonny, etc.

    Otherwise... NEAT!

    I thought I was understanding everything said here, but now am a little confused.
    - I know that we will be able to upload COA images which are not able to be created using the generator.

    My two previously approved images are:
    Swiftbow heraldry:
    [​IMG]

    Skeuferyl heraldry:
    [​IMG]

    (I uploaded them in the heraldic colors that I know we will have available.)

    Questions:
    - Will you be able to use these previously approved COA when the ability to 'upload' is added?

    - i.e. is there something else that needs to be done? A fee to be paid? Anything else?

    Here is a clip of Chris talking about the COA during the tech talk last week - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/236649160?t=42m40s

    For our current design plan, you can either use the heraldry generator or image upload. The image upload will not require a fee. The heraldry form will be similar to the Player Owned Town form or the Name Entry Rewards form, where you can update it as much as you want and then you "Lock/Submit" and that will put your coat of arms into the game. If you want to change your heraldry after it is locked, then you will have to purchase a support voucher to unlock your heraldry form.

    Founder Heraldry items questions:
    • Will the tabard of the founder heraldry armors and the banners be dyeable?
    • If I upload a PNG of my crest with a transparent background, will that transparency be honored and the dye color show through as the background color?

    pick a division and want to color the top blue and the bottom black. color the primary black but don't notice it's wrong and just go to the secondary. color the secondary blue, look left and realize it's wrong! not a big deal, i'll change secondary to black with the intention of then setting primary to blue.

    note both slots now say secondary. it gets very confused after that.

    All the ordinaries that should be centered are not:

    [​IMG]

    The quarter null doesn't appear to be a full quarter (unless this is some heraldry convention I don't know):

    [​IMG]

    The gyron null doesn't appear full either (shouldn't it be same size as background triangle?):

    Here is my first pass at using the generator. Am I mixing too many colors and will we have slightly more control over where items are placed or sized?

    Also @Bubonic you said:
    As you can see from mine I have added at least 2 layers of ordinaries, the axe and the scale, it just depends on which one you put down first.

    Those are "Charges" not "Ordinaries".
    Charges are the images like animals, weapons etc.
    Ordinaries are geometrical dividers and rulers.
    As is, it only allows one Division and one Ordinary, but many Charges.

    Greetings @Spoon, thanks for the clarification. I mixed the two up. I went back and tried to combine Ordinaries and Divisions and using color was able to get some interesting results but more would defiantly be better.

    There are many many Divisions and Ordinaries missing... Very basic ones...

    Are we still in the process of making this work, and more of these will be added later?

    Also, is it possible to scale charges?

    Scaling charges - No
    More Divisions and Ordinaries - Maybe

    Please note this is the generator for those who never developed arms. Those who already have their design registered with the CoA can directly upload their image. The generator will most likely never be able to generate every combination of Divisions, Ordinaries etc.

    Yes, but those of us that utilized the previous generator only have an image registered that doesn't quite meet the upload size requirements, or is wrapped in the shield outline when that may not be the best display for the new heraldry items in game.

    Rok, will this image be acceptable for uploading into the system? This is one of the arms that was approved by the CoA and is probably the only image available to the player. Size-wise I believe it works, but the image is not a square and is contained within a shield. If the image cannot work, please advise what will need to be done so these players can upload their image when the time comes.

    For the latest few interested submissions, please see the first post in the thread about how you can submit Heraldry. Thanks!

    You can upload any asset into the system. However, you must understand that the asset will be resized to fit a 256x256 square so that it can be rendered in-game on the center of a shield, chest piece or banner. In this case, if you uploaded this asset as-is, you would see the Escutcheon rendered on your in-game items.
