Status Editing (Disabled in Recent Patch.)[]
Using XMPP you are able to modify some of the attributes other people see when hovering their mouse over you in the pvp.net client. Not setting these correctly produces an empty statusfield.
Notice that customizing your status only works when you arent actually logged in to the game. Being logged in to the PvP.net client will continuously update your status with the "real" data and override your custom "fake" data.
The status has to start with <body> and end with </body>. Any options are set and closed inside it.
Available Commands[]
- <profileIcon> | Integer | Sets your summoner icon, LEGACY.
- <statusMsg> | String |Your normal status message, can be anything but has an ingame length limit
- <level> | Integer between -30 to 30 | Your level.
- <wins> | Positive Integer | Your amount of normal wins.
- <leaves> | Positive Integer |The amount of leaves will never show. LEGACY.
- <queueType> | RANKED_SOLO_5x5 | NORMAL | NIGHTMARE_BOT
- <gameQueueType> | RANKED_SOLO_5x5 | NORMAL | NIGHTMARE_BOT
- <rankedWins> | Positive Integer | Your amount of ranked wins,
- <rankedLosses> | Positive Integer | Your amount of ranked losses,
- <rankedRating> | Positive Integer | Ranked rating, LEGACY.
- <gameStatus> | Online | Chatty | Away | outOfGame | inGame |
- <rankedLeagueName> | Name of an EXISTING league |
- <rankedLeagueDivision> | String | Can be long but too long (300+ words) will disconnect you.
- <rankedLeagueTier> | CHALLENGER | MASTER | DIAMOND | PLATINUM | GOLD | SILVER | BRONZE |
- <timeStamp> | Integer | The time the current game started.
- <skinname> | EXISTING Champion Name | The champion you are currently playing.
Example Status[]
A common status that will set you up to be lv30, out of game and in the league Twitch's Commanders in Diamond DIvision Zero with 1337 ranked wins and the status message "XMPP Client".
<body><profileIcon>1</profileIcon><level>30</level><statusMsg>XMPP Client</statusMsg><rankedWins>1337</rankedWins><gameStatus>outOfGame</gameStatus><rankedLeagueName>Twitch's Commanders</rankedLeagueName><rankedLeagueDivision>Zero</rankedLeagueDivision><rankedLeagueTier>DIAMOND</rankedLeagueTier></body>
Multi-row Status[]
Using the fact that the <rankedLeagueDivision> have quite a long limit you can setup status messages with quite much information such as your smurf name, your twitch name et.c.
Since Riot disabled the use of HTML code you can no longer use HTML to switch rows so you have to be a bit tricky and use a correct amount of spaces to align the rows.
<body><profileIcon>1</profileIcon><level>30</level><wins>5237</wins><statusMsg>XMPP Client</statusMsg><rankedWins>1237</rankedWins><rankedLosses>1</rankedLosses><gameStatus>outOfGame</gameStatus><rankedLeagueDivision>Zero Twitch: /XXXXXXX Skype: XXXXXXXX Smurf: XXXXXXXX</rankedLeagueDivision><rankedLeagueTier>DIAMOND</rankedLeagueTier></body>
Remember that if you set the <rankedLeagueDivision> more than some 300+ words it may disconnect you from the pvp.net chat.
