How to change the weapon names?

(system) #1

ok i done a little project on putting together a modern pack but one last prob :frowning:

my weapon names havnt changed and i cant find how to change them xD so heres and example:
my mp40 is a ak47, and i would like to know how to change then name in limbo of mp40 to ak47 ?
so it would show, AK47 for choosing weapon instead of MP 40 ?

im trying to make this as clear as i can lol xD

Good evening,

Have you updated the related weapons/.weap files?

(Micha) #3

Isn’t it in pak0.pk3 (or your mod):
gfx/limbo/weaponcard01.tga
gfx/limbo/weaponcard02.tga

(could be .jpg too)

I looked it up from warfare mod.

Editing names thru .weap files is possible only in NQ and N!tmod as far as I know.

yeh i got the weap edited and that but, thats not the thing that puts the name in limbo and weapon cards only show the changed weapons but not the writing, so some how it must be in there because it cant be the human base script could it?

human_base.script is something different

Could it be the following code? I checked chaos mod and he put his own weapons in there too
cg_limbopanel.c

void CG_LimboPanel_GetWeaponCardIconData( weapon_t weap, qhandle_t* shader, float* w, float* h, float* s0, float* t0, float* s1, float* t1 ) {
// setup the shader

Unless you’ve already added the NQ code then it’s only possible to change the names with new dlls. If you also edit the pickup name then you need to change the human_base.script file accordingly as well, or else the 3rd person view will be …weird.
