OK just a small question ...

Its not the first time i fix custom weapon icons, but this time something weird is happening...
The icon is at the right place in the hud alright but there is a second weapon icon that appears and floats on-screen so I now have 2 hud icons for each of my weapons, and thats for most of my maps ( the ones with my custom sides ) so I must've done something wrong... can any1 help me

this is the weapons's lua/req

no problem sir

, well i remove the HUDTag lines from your weapon odf and look if work, you modified the ingame file or added extraweaponsHUD??

philomen · Post by **philomen** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:10 pm

well the only thing i did was what the tutorial said ...

well so only remove the line: HUDTag of your weapon's odf, this should work fine

Post by **AQT** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:20 pm

RepSharpshooter incorporated the JKA DC-15A into the ingame.lvl as part of the Unofficial 1.2/1.3 patch. It was renamed from rep_weap_inf_new_rifle to the rep_weap_inf_rifle. If you also do this, you won't need to add the rifle to the extraweapons.hud file.

philomen · Post by **philomen** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:08 pm

well i tried removing the hud tags and everything but now as you said the rifle works ... but i still have the underhand chaingun and the dc-17 pistol and they won't appear where i want them to appear ... they are at 2 places like the rifle or they are floating around alone. I really have noooooo idea how to fix this.

Post by **AQT** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:14 pm

Try using these coordinates for the underhand chaingun

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]                    Position(-0.239334, 0.328393, 0.007124, "Viewport")

                    Rotation(1.538445, 95.690582, 4.455857)

                    Scale(0.700000, 0.700000, 0.700000)[/code]

As for the DC-17 pistol, which version are you using?

philomen · Post by **philomen** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:25 pm

no no I've been using those coordinates but it's like the pic i posted with the rifle... there's 2 hud icons for each of my custom republic weapons

for VF501's chaingun

I appreciate the guys trying to help him with this, but the coordinates have nothing to do with the dual icon issue. Having two icons is a strange problem that for me, showed up and went away depending on which sides I read in first in the lua. I have no idea why. In any case, I abandoned the extraweapons in the side method as it never seemed to work right for me.

This is what I do:

Replace the code in common/hud/pc/1playerhud.hud with the code in your extraweapons.hud
Change the ingame.req as follows:
Hidden/Spoiler:
ucft
{
REQN
{
"model"
"com_inv_mesh"

}
REQN
{
"config"
"1playerhud"
}
}
(make sure com_inv_mesh.msh is in the common/mshs folder)
In your LUA, add a new line like so:
Hidden/Spoiler:
ReadDataFile("ingame.lvl")
ReadDataFile("dc:ingame.lvl")
Munge with common checked, and copy over the ingame.lvl from your data_ABC/_LVL_PC to your addon folder's similar directory.

Oh and at the top of your extraweapons.hud, theres this:

Code:

That is not a part of any syntax, I don't know why it's there...

You would replace it completely because the original ingame.lvl would still be read allowing you to keep the new HUD, etc.

Ähm, guys, i think there's a simplier solution for his problem. I got that bug to, and onlything you have to do to fix it is adding this (only the red line) to the viewport section in your extraweapons.hud( direct at the beginjning) (in my case it's dc15marine, just change the name) Code:

ViewPort("Transforms")
{
EventNameFilter("player%")
TransformNameMesh("player1weapon1")
{
NameMesh("dc15marine", "com_inv_mesh")
And add this to your side's .req :

REQN
{
"model"
"com_inv_mesh"
}

This is of course only a fix for users of the extraweapons.hud-thing- fix
