[Utility] Coat of Arms Builder

[Measter]

Coat of Arms Builder 1.1.3 (Download) (requires .Net 3.5)​

This program is no longer in development.

This program will allow you to built a Coat of Arms for your dynasties.

NOTE: You must copy the contents of the <ck2 install>/gfx/coats_of_arms directory to the graphics folder of this program, or it won't work.

For those who want to add modded Coat of Arms files, you'll need to create a .coaset file in the /sets directory. Open one of the included coaset files in a text editor to see the details.

Version History:

Version 1.1.3
- Fixed bug causing a crash if the Culture setting on the PC does not use a '.' as a decimal seperator.
- Added some code to show an error that can't be handled.

Version 1.1.2
- Added less incompetent error checking.

Version 1.1.1
- Fixed rendering of tiles that are not 80x84 pixels.
- Implemented "lazy loading" of sets. The program will only load a set when it is first selected, rather than on startup.

Version 1.1
- Added support for custom Coat of Arms sets.
- Changed the UI so that the elements are grouped together.
- Randomized Coat of Arms on startup and set change.

Can it use/ be used with Keanon's very nice Patrum Scuta revised template?

EDIT: nope doesn't look like it.

Feel like an idiot but for some reason cant paste the coats of arms file to the graphics folder, btw I am using 7-zip which might be the problem. Any of you guys have any advice

you need to unzip the builder... somewhere. next, copy in the graphic files. that's it.

 

[tonkatoy5]

Not going to lie to you, I just downloaded 7-zip, literally 10 minutes ago so how do I unzip the builder, hate to ask for step by step but if you have I would be much obliged. I have tried to unzip myself but still cant move the coat of arms file into the graphics folder. If it helps I keep on getting told that the Operation is not Supported.

When you open the file in 7-Zip, click the Extract button on the toolbar, and choose where you want the files to go.

Trying to figure out how to give a dynasty a custom CoA in a save game...

Can I have your children? This tool makes the process infinitely easier.

Now if only you could find it in yourself to make a portrait editor!

That's more complicated due to how the DNA code works.
