Basic “how to make a graphic / sound mod” tutorial

[ol]
[li]Programs
[/li] You should have a program that is able to read and write pk3-files.
pakscape for example is a little very handy tool for the creation of pk3-files.

	Note:
	pk3-files are zip-files with a renamed extension.
[li]Basics

[/li] Basically the files of your mod will virtually overwrite the existing files of the “pak0.pk3”-file.
Therefore the path structure of your mod-pk3-file must be equal to the path structure of the “pak0.pk3”-file.
Nearlly all of the files of the “pak0.pk3”-file can be modded.

	Note:
	Don't touch the "pak0.pk3"-file.
	You will create a new pk3-file

	Tip:
	Take a look at existing graphic / sound mods.
[li]Example: mine markers

[/li] First you have to search the “pak0.pk3”-file for the files you want to change.
You will find the files of the mine markers at:


			gfx/hud/pm_mineallied.tga
			gfx/hud/pm_mineaxis.tga

			models/multiplayer//mine_marker/allied_marker.jpg
			models/multiplayer//mine_marker/axis_marker.jpg
		

	Note:
	The "pm_minexxx.tga"'s are 32-Bit TGA's with an alpha channel.

	Note:
	In this case the height and width of your textures should be equal to the original ones.

	Now create your own files and save them in a new path structure.
	For example in "c:/mymod/".
	So you will end with:


			c:/mymod/gfx/hud/pm_mineallied.tga
			c:/mymod/gfx/hud/pm_mineaxis.tga

			c:/mymod/models/multiplayer//mine_marker/allied_marker.jpg
			c:/mymod/models/multiplayer//mine_marker/axis_marker.jpg
		

[li]pk3-file creation

[/li] Start pakscape.
Choose the option “New” of the “File”-menu.
Rightclick in the right subwindow of pakscape.
Choose “Object -> Import directory”.
Choose the “c:/mymod/gfx/”-direcory.
Choose “OK”
Repeat these steps for the “c:/mymod/models”-directory.

	The path structure inside of pakscape should now be:


			gfx/ ...
			models/ ...
		

	Save the file as pk3-file.
	The first letter of the name of the file must be "greater than" "p".
	(Actually the name of the file has to be "greater than" "pak0".)

	For example:
	"z_myminemarker.pk3".

	Put the new created pk3-file into the "etmain"-directory.
	Host a game to see the changes.

	Note:
	Only add changed files to your mod-pk3-file.

	Note:
	The mod will only work:
	[list:739b9d9858]
		[li]on a pure server if the server also has this file

[/li] [li]on an unpure server
[/li] [li]on a local server
[/li] [/ol]

	Note:
	If there's another graphic / sound mod your mod might not work.
	This depends on the names of your and the other mod file and which files are changed by the other mod.

[li]Example file
[/li]The following file contains the original minemarkers.

so i can finally make my own country flags for the mine flags :slight_smile: thx for all this info!

(SCDS_reyalP) #3

Nice work.

It is still an early draft, but people wanting more detail about how ET picks which file to use may find my ET VFS tutorial helpful. http://www.worldwidegaming.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=21

It also lists a number of commands and cvars that can help you diagnose why your mod isn’t working as you expect.

(Berzerkr) #4

And don’t use config-files or scripts in a simple Graphic-/Soundpack.
Servers with ETpro download them to the client, wich means more traffic for the gameserver and not all people like to see/hear the changes of this mod.

Avoid bloat! Use models (md3-Files) only if there change a model.
Delete the “thumbs.db”-Files from the pk3, there really not needed.

BTW: It really sickens me to see a lot of excellent packs there can’t run on a pure server because there contain configs or scripts. :disgust:

hi read what u said about soundpacks… and I haven’t finished this yet… but i can’t get it to work. it shows that i have added even more sounds but when i click on it, it just closes the screen. sorry it is so long!

you should read this through there are quite alot of mistakes, also when does you menu just close?

I made some mistakes bold( in between and ), but there are so many I kinda stopped half was, just read it through yourself finish it, cause there are just pieces missing, and things that are wrong, then try it again, then ask here for help…

Atm is has so many mistakes, it shows you don’t understand how it works, so maybe u should read tutorials, or look at somebody elses sound pack and learn from it…

Also just saw the end of the script, and I don’t think you can put a class/team/spawn selector in the sound menu, but on that point I could be wrong… since I never tried it myself

CHAT MODDING****
Alright, you start off with the scripts/wm_allies_chat.voice and wm_axis_chat.voice files in the pak0.pk3.

Add a new command for your custom sound, I.E.
kittycat
{
sound/kittycat.wav “Cat, I’m a Kitty Cat”
}

Top line is what it’s name will be, for the example above, I would use “vsay kittycat” in the console and this sound will go off. “sound/kittycat.wav” is where the sound is located. (As a side note, make sure the wav files are mono, not stereo.) Within the quote at the end is what you want to be displayed when this sound is played, for the example above, “Cat, I’m a Kitty Cat”. Note that you can have seperate sounds for Axis and Allies, but for my sound pack, it’s the same silly sounds for both.

Next, you edit the ui/wm_quickmessage.menu and wm_quickmessageAlt.menu

Add a new menu in there for your custom sounds:
QM_MENU_START( “wm_quickmessage” )

QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “S. Statements”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickstatements, “s”, 0 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “R. Requests”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickrequests, “r”, 1 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “C. Commands”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickcommand, “c”, 2 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “T. Talk”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickmisc, “t”, 3 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “G. Global”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickglobal, “g”, 4 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “F. Function”, exec “wm_sayPlayerClass”; close wm_quickmessage, “f”, 5 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “O. Objectives”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickobjectives, “o”, 6 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “U. Custom”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickcustom, “u”, 7 )
QM_MENU_END

I added the menu “Custom”, which will open when you press the letter U.

On top of that, you have to add the same (but with numbers) to the wm_quickmessageAlt. Note the difference:
QM_MENU_START( “wm_quickmessageAlt” )

QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “1. Statements”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickstatements_alt, “1”, 0 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “2. Requests”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickrequests_alt, “2”, 1 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “3. Commands”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickcommand_alt, “3”, 2 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “4. Talk”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickmisc_alt, “4”, 3 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “5. Global”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickglobal_alt, “5”, 4 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “6. Function”, exec “wm_sayPlayerClass”; close wm_quickmessageAlt,“6”, 5 )
QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “7. Objectives”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickobjectives_alt, “7”, 6 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “8. Custom”, close wm_quickmessageAlt; open wm_quickcustom_alt, “8”, 7 )

QM_MENU_END

Now, to add a custom sound, you need to open up your new menu, again, cutting and pasting from my own sound pack:
(Note this is wm_quickmessage)QM_MENU_START( “wm_quickcustom” )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “T. TNT”, exec “VoiceChat tnt”; close wm_quickcustom, “t”, 0 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “K. Kitty Cat”, exec “VoiceChat kittycat”; close wm_quickcustom, “k”, 1 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “S. Shook Me”, exec “VoiceChat shook”; close wm_quickcustom, “s”, 2 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “L. Lightning Bolt”, exec “VoiceChat lightning”; close wm_quickcustom, “l”, 3 )
QM_MENU_END

And again, you need to change the wm_quickmessageAlt.menu as well.

QM_MENU_START( “wm_quickcustom_alt” )

QM_MENU_ITEM( “1. TNT”, exec “VoiceChat tnt”; close wm_quickcustom_alt, “1”, 0 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “2. Kitty Cat”, exec “VoiceChat kittycat”; close wm_quickcustom_alt, “2”, 1 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “3. Shook Me”, exec “VoiceChat shook”; close wm_quickcustom_alt, “3”, 2 )
QM_MENU_ITEM( “4. Lightning Bolt”, exec “VoiceChat lightning”; close wm_quickcustom_alt, “4”, 3 )

QM_MENU_END

Make sure you take note of the sublter differenced, like the _alt added on each of the menu names. Those matter, as do the tinier details.

Hope that explains it.

And please, pardon the spacing, it was kinda cramped in the code boxes.

QM_MENU_ITEM( “9. Even More Globals!”, close wm_quickglobal2_alt; open wwm_quickglobal3_alt, “9”, 8 )

well here is the problem for that I think
when you press even more globals! it closes the menu and tries to open:

wwm_quickglobal3_alt

which doesnt exist

maybe then you will be able to open even more globals, but there are more mistakes after that…, but hopefully this gets you a it further
