Transcript of how to ini edit pwi
For starters, copy and paste the following address into a NORMAL COMPUTER folder address bar, NOT a web address bar.
C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element
From there you can see several folders, bbsfiles, BBSPages, cache, cursors, data, font, fonts, help, info, logs, maps, models.pcks.files, music, reportbugs, screenshots, and userdata. There's also a file named "elementclient", that is the file you open to load a second game of PWI up at the same time (requires a second account to dual log.) Note: LEAVE EVERY FOLDER ASIDE FROM SCREENSHOTS AND USERDATA ALONE. Editing ANYTHING in these folders will cause your game to become unstable and require a reinstallation.
The Screenshot folder is of course where your ingame screenshots are saved, and the userdata folder is where specialized customizations and such can be done. If you open the userdata folder you'll see 6 more folders. The only usable ones in here are character and userpic. Once again, LEAVE EVERY OTHER FOLDER AND FILE IN THIS FOLDER ALONE.
Opening the character folder opens up several more files and folders. The one to open is customize. Once again, LEAVE EVERY OTHER FOLDER AND FILE IN THIS FOLDER ALONE.
Now you should be in the character entries data folders. Below is a key as to which number represents which class/gender.
00 = Male Blademaster01 = Female Blademaster
10 = Male Wizard11 = Female Wizard
20 = Male Psychic21 = Female Psychic
30 = Strangely enough the coding for a MALE Venomancer (unusable)31 = Female Venomancer (duh)
40 = Male Barbarian (duh)41 = Strangely enough the coding for a FEMALE Barbarian (unusable)
50 = Male Assassin51 = Female Assassin
60 = Male Archer61 = Female Archer
70 = Male Cleric71 = Female Cleric
80 = Male Seeker
81 = Female Seeker
90 = Male Mystic91 = Female Mystic
These Folders contain notepad files that have easy to read coding to represent what each character skin customization looks like. For size/position changes, normal ingame values are 96-146, anything above or below that range (possible range is 0-255) is considered "edited" and is bannable if provoked. I've not quite gotten the hang of the color wheels yet, but playing with numbers normally works well enough for me. (Although I'm learning how it works now, No it's not stated how an earlier post claimed.)
Edit: I'm in no way encouraging players to do this. Stating that I am is like stating a gun store is encouraging people to shoot other people, which isn't true. They will do this anyway, I merely provide the CORRECT information.
