limbo menu

(twistereli) #1

hey im pretty new in this modding…
me and my clan are making or own mod and we want to edit the limbomenu
our actual goal is to make it able to choose the players outfit or looks
actually a bit like tce-mod and falkonET(eastfrontline)
do you know where to find it and how to do it? and make it clear enough, we only know to find things in pak0 for so far…:slight_smile:

thx

you will probably have to make several custom skin files then code some way into the game for the player to chose between them. It is possible for each player to use different skin files as AFAIK is how they achieve the pants off effect for cov ops. And unless you want players to have to use console to select what skin they want you will need to edit the limbo UI file to add in an interface for the new fuctionality

you know how the limbo UI file is called?

FalckonET uses custom head skins for what it does, allowing players to change their face.

you should head on over to stealthy.foolishgames.net for help, or PM Kamikazee on these forums. :wink:

You need code to do what you want, it’s not just a ui file.

Look in cgame/cg_limbopanel.c for what you want, in the sdk.

NO, download and install SDK, make changes where suggested above, then compile

Visual C++ 2005 express is now free on the microsoft webpage and works nicely with the source

This is the way i make Mods like yours :roll:

  1. Download Pakscape
    2)Open Pakscape and make a new pk3 file
    3)Make a folder called gfx
    4_In Gfx folder make another folder called limbo
    5)Now Edit the limbo Menu and add your files in /gfx/limbo
    Load it onto your server and it should work :stuck_out_tongue:

Nope, won’t work, need to do some coding. After the code/compiling is done, then do this.

sadly limbo is hard coded, I believe it shouldn’t have been
