How do you fix floating icons? I read the tutorial but it still does not work. Here is the .hud file and req

You have to put HUDTag = "icongeometryname" in each weapon's ODF.

Please walkthrough the steps you took while following the tutorial. There are other steps needed other than having a functioning extraweapons.hud file and side REQ file.

My guess would be the munge.bat for sides wasn't edited correctly, that's the problem I encountered when I first attempted to fix floating icons.

Loopy53 · Post by **Loopy53** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 9:08 am

I coppied com_inv_mesh to both sides mesh folders. I made the extraweapons.hud file. I editted the .bat for the windows vista fix. Hud tags are in the weapons odf (ie all_weap_inf_rifle) directly under properties. I munged, and nothing happened. will look at the .bat again and see if that is the problem, and will clean.

EDIT: Nope. still floating icons. cleaning and the .bat didnt fix the problem

Marth8880 · Post by **Marth8880** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 7:02 pm

Post the contents of your side's REQ, extraweapons.hud, the .bat file, and the ODF for one of the weapons whose icon you're trying to fix.

Loopy53 · Post by **Loopy53** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 10:53 pm

fixed, but im getting 2 icons. The extraweapons.hud is only referenced in my USA side folder. odd....will look into it. I was using the ODF name in the extraweapons.hud as opposed to the .msh name (slaps self)
