Tip
These files can be opened with any text edtior- instructions are commented inside the files
Tip
If the Archetype Customization XMLs are modified, they can be copied between updates unless announced otherwise
Unfortunately, no- desktop clients only
Ensure the
main.png
is overwrote during installation
The game utilizes a single sprite sheet which contains all of the icons
Ensure that you are modifying the correct values, not the commented references
