hi,
i’m editing the vsay-sound pack on our clan server. I wanted to add a sprite to de vsay-custom sounds. No, i made already a sprite in photoshop and added it to the pack but when i try it, it gives a white square. What am i doing wrong. is their some sort of tutorial or sticky for it?
do i just add sprites/smp.tga behind the sound-path or are their other changes to be made?

The icon has to be stored in tga-format, you need to add a shader for the icon and additionally all files have to be in the correct subfolders. A while ago I made a little expample file, which shows which files you have to change: http://www.c-x-r.net/X_FitH.zip
The .pk3 adds 2 new Icons and one new quick chat.
ok, i allready did that, but the problem is that it didn’t work. it gave a white square above the player?? :lol:
i’ll post you my .pk file so you can see what went wrong cause i don’t see it anymore. its all blurred by starring at it for houres.
perhaps i saved the tga wrong? what are the spec’s. like how many bits : 16 , 8 ??

The TGA has to be 24 bit and must have an alpha channel (I think that’s missing).
TGA looks fine (actually only opened it in gimp with no problems and alpha seems OK).
Shader looks fine.
My guess:
You are using colors in the chats.
For example:
06HAHA
{
sound/smp/fun/hahaha.wav "^7|^1SMP^7|>>WHAHAHAHA!" sprites/smpsay
sound/smp/fun/haha3.wav "^7|^1SMP^7|>>HAHA!" sprites/smpsay
}
That might be the problem.
You should try without colors.
I guess the smssounds.shader file is not loaded. Try to add your shader to the file sprites.shader from W:ET and see if it helps.
Color codes inside a string shouldn’t pose a problem.
i saved it with 32bit and added it all in my pak0.pk3 to host it on my localhost
AND IT WORKED
thx you all guys
