Custom voice chat menu - When you press the 'V' key display

(Fusen) #1

I originally posted in enemy-territory.com but I’m posting here to inquire more about it and I also want to know if there are any rules or ToS saying I’m not allowed to edit pk3 files use by E.T

after easyrider put the ‘post your config’ module up, I was looking at the codes inside my own config file and saw a ui_voicemenu line in there. I thought hmm voice menu, so I opened the pak0.pak3 file and looked and found the ui folder and then saw a file called wm_quickmessage.menu. opening that file in notepad, there we have the complete menu when you press ‘v’ so I’m guessing if you edit a line in there, like this one

QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “F. Fire In The Hole!”, exec “VoiceTeamChat FireInTheHole”; close wm_quickstatements, “f”, 4 )

and change FireInTheHole with a voice command like HealMe, then save that .menu file, zip up the whole pak0 files and folders again and rename to pak0.pk3 then replace with your current one you SHOULD be able to make custom vocie menus wile pressing the V button and have it in its current ET layout BUT I’m lazy lol so I will not have the patient to make the new pak0 file as it takes some time or so far it has for me may be a easier way to do it but I dont know but I reckon this wil work and if your really daring you can change these lines

QM_MENU_ITEM_TEAM( “S. Statements”, close wm_quickmessage; open wm_quickstatements, “s”, 0 )

and make custom words for each category

so it would be cool if someone could test this and if it works it would be a major thing seeing as ALOT of ET players wont custom V menus

also help I need If im allowed to continue trying

umm having problems I open the file in winzip wizard so I can look at the files still zipped and when I right click and edit it in notepad click save it asks me if I want to save the file because its changed I select yes but it doesnt save the path to it it just saves the file in the root folder can anyone help me with this as I need it in the UI folder[/b]

Also someone in the forum said PB will kick you for not having the right pk3 file I’m guessing it checks the checksum but if PB kicks you can you still use it in non-pb enabled servers?

Thanks and sorry for the long post

I noticed that too, I see a bunch of useless files in them PK3s from RTCW and ET. Lucky they didn’t accidentally stick some porno in those PK3s. :eek3:

okay I used winrar to inject the new menu file but even when the pk3 file is same size as original it gives me an error saying couldnt laod a real pk3 file please update or get newest version so I’m guessing it checks the fail authentication off the normal one :frowning: I wonder if they could release a patch where you can update this one file in the pak0.pk3 0=) lol

Does anyone know if it IS possible to run pk3 files which you have compiled yourself? also how do the mods for ET work when I get a error saying my pk3 isnt the right one but they dont?

for the menus you dont need a pk3… just put them in the correct folder in your etmain

Yeah, but then wouldn’t it permanently change your setup unless you deleted it? People don’t want to have to go through that hassle. If anything it should just ADD things, not replace.

I can just add a .menu file in etmain and it will read it and work?!
