Re: Avatars
 

I'll make them for you. I'll get started now. If you don't like 'em I'll try again.

MSN added.

Edit: What version of the game are you using? Allied Assault? Spearhead? Or Breakthrough?

Edit again: I made these for Allied Assault. Tell me if you don't like 'em and I'll make more. And tell me what version you need it on.

Just in case you don't know where to put that, put it in your main folder...

(Sorry double post. Couldn't edit.)

Thank you im going to try it right now:)

Works just fine. thanks

Re: Avatars
 

for the record, to do this yourself:

1. create your custom avatar textures .

a. save allied avatar as allies.tga .
b. save axis avatar as axis.tga .

2. create a new pk3 file with pakscape .

a. create textures folder/directory .
b. inside textures create subfolder/subdirectory named hud .
c. place allies.tga & axis.tga textures in hud .

3. save as 'zzzzzWHATEVERNAME.pk3 .
4. place in your mohaa\main directory .

Yea. I learned how to mod from PKM, and he still helps me. Just start simple and get the feel for it, and then you can make more complicated mods. It's easier than you think. But if you need anymore simple mods just PM me.

Re: Avatars
 

truth be told...learning how to simply replace a texture with another is the key to learning how to mod anywhere .

Re: Avatars
 

where do you guys get your avatars. would like to have one.:confused::bows::beer:

Re: Avatars
 

never mind lol lost my mind there.

Re: Avatars
 

i actualy did do it that way when i tried

Re: Avatars
 

Well what did you do wrong?

Re: Avatars
 

I have no idea maybe size or the pictures I choose.

Re: Avatars
 

warrior, are you talking avatars on here or avatars above the players heads in mohaa ?
in mohaa-

just about anysize you'd want . save as .tga

here -

if uploading 120X120 or 82.7kb
if hotlinking (ie. url offsite) 120X120, place in box provided

Re: Avatars
 

Animated avitars are fun too.

Re: Avatars
 

Hmm... How can I make those? I don't believe .tga files support animation. So I would change the .shaders to use allies.gif and axis.gif instead of .tga files?

Re: Avatars
 

you'll keep your textures for any mohaa animation as .jpg or .tga; however (as you'll see in the .shader for a basic animation) you'll have multiple images to make the 'animation' (ie. flipbook)...

ie.
simple_flame
{
nopicmip
nomipmaps
spritegen parallel_upright
cull none
{
// animmap 10 textures/effects/aFlame_01.tga textures/effects/aFlame_02.tga textures/effects/aFlame_03.tga textures/effects/aFlame_04.tga textures/effects/aFlame_05.tga textures/effects/aFlame_06.tga textures/effects/aFlame_07.tga textures/effects/aFlame_08.tga textures/effects/aFlame_03.tga
blendfunc add
}
}
