The corporations (guilds) in FF

[Vehem]

New corporation bug/question: corporations I create never show their corporation logo properly on the world map, next to the city name. It's always displayed as a blank square there and in the pedia. Does only certain kind of art work for that? Or is there somewhere else I need to define it, besides just the corporationinfo.xml?

It's a font-character, which requires editing Gamefont.tga and Gamefont75.tga. They're alpha-based font files however, which can be a pain to edit without the proper programs - check the forums for help on "Editing Gamefonts".

Surley the farmers should use Sun or Water mana. The fishermen would be air and the stone fire guild would be Earth or Fire. Fabricaforma not sure nature? Spirit?

Why would fishermen use air?

The problem with Farmers is I can see at least 6 manas that it would "make sense" for them to use: Life, Water, Nature, Earth, Creation, and Sun - at least. You could make arguments for others as well.

However keep in mind we are basically capped at 5 resources per guild right now so there isn't much reason to worry about expanding farmers.

The main reason they don't use mana is that the Manatypes will be tied to the "magic related non-pure-commerce-guilds". I don't really want farmers to be competing with wizards...

Bah. Gamefont files suck. Took me forever to figure out how to mess with them....

ok, i'll look in to this. thanks.

Because they're "fly" fishermen, of course!

I would steer away from having mana types influence corporations. If you want more resources, there are plenty of them out there that can be modded in. Olives, salt, tea, etc.
