Okay, this is new territory for me, so be gentile. Here's the current setup:
*Note that these are all secondary weapons

Anyways, on to the msh folder, which contains hud_crackgrenade.msh, hud_haywiredetonator.msh (which are different than the weapon model, like hud_thermaldetonator.msh) as well as com_weap_inf_fusioncutter.msh and com_inv_mesh.msh.

Lastly, in the odfs:

com_weap_inf_crackgrenade.odf com_weap_inf_fusioncutter.odf com_weap_inf_haywiredetonator.odf So basically the two grenade odfs remove the floating icon, but don't display the new one, the fusion cutter one does neither. Help.

So they aren't showing up ingame?
Did you replace the original munge-side in data_***/_Build/Sides with the one provided for the extraweapons.hud?

As for grenades, I have never been able to get the correct hud to show up for those. If you've noticed in all my Republic side mods the grenade hud is a white orb.
I noticed somewhere in the conversion pack that one grenade hud has a blue button on it instead of the red one. I don't know who made it though.

I did, but that was replacing ingame.lvl

Pretty sure that the grenade HUD is a 2d mesh; I haven't been able to get any 2d mesh to ever work for custom HUDs.

I'll just load the thermal hud for that then.

What are you wanting these to look like? I might be able to whip together a quick msh for the icon. That would work then cause I was playing around with it and put the explorer in as the icon for the light grenade, it was in the right place, a little big, but it was in the right place.

It's just a 2D-plane msh file that's the same as the Thermal Detonator's icon, but reskinned per icon. The bigger issue is that I can't get any custom huds to work at all. Not even the fusion cutter in the secondary slot (for the Pilot class)

By not working at all, as in they don't show up in game? Just to make sure they are munging correctly do you have an extraweapons.config and extraweaponsconfig.req showing up in the _build/sides/nameofside/munged/PC folder.

Heh, I should've thought of that. No, I don't. Right now I have extraweapons.hud in the root folder of the side along with the side req. Wrong place?

That is the correct location.
and did you add this: to the sides req

and copy the munge_side.bat to the _build/sides folder

Okay, it's building now, but the effect is the opposite of what I'm wanting. Anything in extraweapons.hud gets rid of the floating icon but doesn't appear in the right spot. HOWEVER, anything not in there shows up in the HUD and as a floating icon (stuff that already has HUDs)

If you could, that'd be great. I've got everything else working now, but I need the Concussion/Haywire grenade HUDs. If you can just map something 3D to hud_thermaldetonator.tga I can go from there.

I've tried reskinning the grenade hud before, but that doesn't work either. I don't know if mapping something to the hud_thermaldetonator.tga will work. I guess it's worth a try though. Good luck and I hope you get it working Teancum.

I think this is a mistake as well. In one place, you're refering to haywiredetonator, and then to hud_haywiredetonator These should have the same name both, since they're talking about the same thing..

Excuse me if this is totally wrong; I just follow my instincts :yodaful:

Yeah, it's actually correct in my newer file (same issues though). I noticed that and was like Doh! Then I said it again when fixing the names didn't work.

Okay, sorray!

Best thing is to let Frag do it, and check the differences..

Okay so I am not the greatest artist but so far on the haywire icon
It is a newly recreated msh and a quickly edited thermaldetontator texture.
Will have it ready soon.

Yep, that's pretty much the skin I have. So long as it runs on the thermaldetonator texture I can hex edit it to read the new ones. (I gotta do the Conc. Grenades too).

Nice work, that's 100% exactly what I need.

Okay here it is, it is a huge download of 9k, if the add file thing worked I would have just put it here but...

Anyway it is the msh the tga a copy of the extraweapons file I used, which is pretty much a basic file but the numbers for position will put it in the location shown in the picture above.

The only other thing I did was add this to the haywire odf.
hud_haywiredetonator here

Dude, you rock.
