// ******************** Signature Generator Options ********************
// dynamic sigs:  1 - Offer/create dynamic signatures. (Default)
//                0 - Disable signatures.
//                This feature requires GD 2.0.1 or later and the FreeType library.
//                The server must have read/write access to the
//                modules/Roster_Master/signatures directory in order to use this feature
//                (chown apache:apache signatures/ is suggested).
//                You must turn ON Dragonfly's LEO feature in order to ensure that files
//                are cached properly by client browsers.
$config['dynamic_sigs'] = 1;

// exclude ranks: Array of ranks to be excluded from the
//                ability to create a signature.
$config['exclude_ranks'] = array('Recruit', 'Initiate');

// The base name (without file extension) of the signature block image
// PNG file(s). This file must be located in the
// "modules/{$mod_dirname}/images/sigblocks/" directory and readable by
// the web server user. If this file cannot be found, Signature Master
// will fall back to using "default_sigblock.png" as the file name
// before giving up. The template that Signature Master will look for
// must be named the same as the signature block image file or
// sigblock_basename setting (case sensitive), but with the 'txt'
// extension.
$config['sigblock_basename'] = 'CFLogo_sigblock';

// sigblock type: ARCH  - Uses one of four base images, depending on the character's
//                        class archetype (fighter, mage, priest, or scout).
//                CLASS - Uses one of 24 base images, depending on the character's class.
//                RANK  - Display one of two base images, officers are differentiated.
//                <NULL> - Only one base image is used. (Default)

// The quality of the output JPEG file. Ranges from 0 (worst quality,

1. $config['dynamic_sigs'] = 1;
   • The default value, as you can see, is "1." This means that sigs are enabled, which is what we want. We're going to leave this one alone. :)


2. $config['exclude_ranks'] = array('Recruit', 'Initiate');
   • This is where you list the ranks that you DON'T want to have access to a sig, if any.
   • Each value should be in 'single quotes' with commas outside the quotes separating multiple values, as illustrated.
   • If you don't want to exclude any ranks, simply delete everything inside the (parentheses).


3. $config['sigblock_basename'] = 'CFLogo_sigblock';
   • This one's important. This is the default base image that will be used for all sigs that don't have any other base image specified. (I'll explain all that soon.)
   • The filename is CaSe SeNsItIvE, and it shouldn't contain anything other than letters, numbers, underscores, and dashes.
   • I recommend naming it after your guild. Mine, for instance, is "Halasian_Empire."
   • This file MUST be a PNG image.


4. $config['sigblock_type'] = '';
   • This one is also important, since this setting determines how many base images you have to create and upload. :)
   • The default value, <NULL> (nothing between the quotes), will use the default base image we specified in #3 for every character, no matter their class or rank.
   • ARCH will use one of four images depending on the archetype of the character.
     • These filenames must be prepended with your (CaSe SeNsItIvE) default base image name and an underscore; besides the portion that is your default base image name, they must be lowercase:
       • Halasian_Empire_fighter.png
       • Halasian_Empire_mage.png
       • Halasian_Empire_priest.png
       • Halasian_Empire_scout.png
     • If any of those four images doesn't exist, the default base image will be used instead of the missing image.
   • CLASS works just like ARCH, except it requires a base image for each of the 24 adventure classes.
     • These filenames must be appended with your (CaSe SeNsItIvE) default base image name and an underscore; besides the portion that is your default base image name, they must be lowercase, and classes that contain a space (right now, only Shadow Knight) should have the space replaced with an underscore:
       • Halasian_Empire_assassin.png
       • Halasian_Empire_mystic.png
       • Halasian_Empire_shadow_knight.png
       • Halasian_Empire_wizard.png
     • If any of those 24 images doesn't exist, the default base image will be used instead of the missing image.
   • RANK works just like ARCH and CLASS, except there's just one other image involved.
     • Officers are differentiated with the alternate image.
     • Members will use the default base image.
   • For simplicity's sake, you may want to leave the value at <NULL> until we're sure the sigs are generating properly.
   • These files MUST be PNG images.


5. $config['JPEG_quality'] = 75;
   • This is the end quality (in percentage) of the dynamically-generated sig image.
   • Lower number = worse quality = smaller file = shorter load time.
   • Higher number = better quality = bigger file = longer load time.
   • It may take some trial and error before you find a quality setting that works for you. You should aim for a good balance between image quality and filesize. I usually set mine at 95, but most people use a lower number.
