Customize Preview Coordinates

Character preview positions determine the positions from which players view characters on the character selection screen. By customizing these coordinates, you can create a unique character selection experience unique to your own server.

How Preview Locations Work ?

Enhances the experience of players choosing their characters by displaying characters in specific locations. These locations are defined in the previewlocation.lua file and used by the character preview interface.

How to Find the Location File

To edit location information, you need to access the following file:

sw-multicharacter/preview/previewlocation.lua

Custom Location Addition

To add a new preview location, open the previewlocation.lua file and add a new entry to the PreviewLocations table:

-- Example location addition
PreviewLocations = {
   secret1 = {
        label = "SECRET 1",
        pedCoords = vector4(897.29, -3163.55, -98.12, 170),
        camCoords = vector4(897.01, -3165.09, -96.62, 350),
        thumbnail = "location/secret1.png"
    },
    secret2 = {
        label = "SECRET 2",
        pedCoords = vector4(886.10, -3200.18, -99.20, 276),
        camCoords = vector4(888.48, -3199.40, -97.38, 96),
        thumbnail = "location/secret2.png"
    },
}

• secret1 and secret2 are the keys for the new locations.
• label is the name of the location to be displayed in the user interface.
• pedCoords is the location where the walking will end and the character will stop.
• camCoords are the coordinates of the location where the camera will be located.
• thumbnail is the path to the image to be displayed in the user interface.

Location Photo Addition

For each location, you need to add a preview image that will be displayed in the UI. Images should be stored in the following location:

sw-multicharacter/web/build/img/location
