Armagan said that the choice about accepting custom banners will be given to the server side.
I guess the custom eraldies limit will be one of the server options, or at least, i hope
Yes, I counted, the number available for multiplayer at least is 120. There are 7 screens with 16 banners each, and one with 8, so that adds up to 120. That is the absolute maximum number for multiplayer banners at the moment.
Custom banners should be in .png format preferably, since .jpg damages quality. And the best way to make sure it fits nicely is to have a reference image, but I don't have one of those. At least, not a very concrete one, I just use my previous creations to measure things.
Oh so to use new designs you have to replace the old ones? If you do so, and someone picks a banner that lies in the same slot as the one you have (but they have the old set), will it show up as the default banner, or the one that's currently lying in that slot on your side?

If you haven't already might I suggest making a quick tutorial on how to create a custom .dds for clans themselves? This way if the 120 is ever filled up someone else can simply make their own and replace one of the previous banners in the .dds with their own.
When the quota of 120 is reached, no new custom banners can be included in the current system, due to the fact that they are hard-coded. That sucks, but my hands are tied until the devs implement a new system that can handle a limitless number of customs.
Hard coded? Hardly. Just duplicate all the required models from some existing banners, add what you need in map_icons, presentations etc and set the number of banner pages up by one. When (or if) the limit is reached, PM me and I can walk you through it if'n you need. Of course, everyone else would have to update their text files as well, but meh.
Anyways, I'd like this'un to meself:
Put that in your pack over whichever image you want, Tim.
And if I can have more than one banner, (since I have more than one profile) I really like this one: (Lizard Man made it, but it was made for my mod and is now in an OSP pack, so...)
Also, if anyone wants, they can look through The Banner Thread from my mod's sub-board and if you see something you like, PM whoever posted it and ask permissions to use. The stuff is pretty much all viking-oriented, so Nords could put more use to it. There are some others that are a little more fun too, though, as well as some very beautiful stuff.
These banners were done by Lizard_Man and Jabrowny
What about players who don't have the banner pack, pick a banner that shares the same spot with a clan banner, and then unwittingly have the clan banner displayed for those who have the modified .dds?
Do we just tell them they can't use that banner because it's a clan banner? You might look at someone and think "oh, he's in such-n-such clan, he's really good" and then run away from Hi_Im_New because he just happened to pick the 'wrong' banner.
As I've said, this system ain't perfect. There will be confusion and accidental misindentifications, but there isn't much we can do about it now. Some people will tell new guys off because of their mistake, of course, we can't change that. But I recommend that we either ignore such or politely inquire as to whether they know about the banner they carry or not.
Best to hope a more sensible system is implemented soon.
No i mean like every time you update it you add + 0.01 so like now it'd be like 0.05 then next time you add a banner to it and upload it it's 0.06. You would add this number next to the download link in the main post
