Hello. I will be showing you how to add mod and admin crowns on a 317-474 easily. It is very simple, and is only involved with your cache. It only took me 5-10 minutes so it wont take you that long to do it.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]TutorialNow before we begin, you will need to find admin or mod crowns that you want to replace the default ones with. They need to be outlined with this certain pink color like the picture below.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The way to get that color, the way i did it was that, you hit the ctrl + print screen button on your computer. Then open up your photoshop, paint.net, ms paint, or whatever you use. Then hit ctrl+v. If its in ms paint, then select an area with the selector, and then hit ctrl+v. Below is a picture is an idea of what it should look like.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then simply what you wanna do is fill all the white area around your mod or admin crown with that pink shaded color. The picture must be 13 pixels in width, and 11 pixels in height, or it will not appear, it will just turn into a blank area.
Now, to get down to business. First, open up toms cache suite, by clicking on the folder you downloaded, then double clicking on suite.jar.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It will open up, then hit File>Load Cache... then browse for your client folder.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then double click on your client folder, dont double click on the cache folder, just click on the cache folder one time, then hit open in the bottom right corner.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It will open up some options for you to do. Then click on the button labeled as View/Edit Image Archives.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then a popup will appear. Click on the drop down menu button and click on Media. Then hit ok.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then it will open yet another box. Scroll down until you see mod_icons.dat . click on it, then you will see the moderator silver crown icon. and then you will see to the right of the picture there is a long rectangle shaped box. It has 0 and 1 in it. If you click on 1, you will see the administrator gold crown icon. Click back on the silver mod crown, then click import below the picture. Then browse for your picture you want to set it as. Then do the same for the gold admin crown. (Click import under the picture, then browse for your admin icon, only after you clicked on number 1 in the column right next to the picture.)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then once you have both of them in there, hit the button labeled as Save Archive. Note: It may say it needs to rebuild the cache, just click okay. Then Click compile, then there you have it. The Admin and Mod icons are there once you start playing! Hope this helped alot of you.
This is what mine turned out to look like.
