Texture Problems

(Cartman) #1

hello

I’m working on my first mod, and I have exchanged some pictures from limbo menue. In PS 8 looks great but in ET doesn’t work.

can anyone help me?

Yep, you need to rename the pk3 file with “user” in front - example “User-Jamaica_fun.pk3” - that should do it!

Nice graphix, by the way.

aha only User-Jamaica_fun.pk3
why User ?

I had seen on Bezerkr’s Mod that he has pak000_…pk3

As far as I know the pk3’s are sorted alphabetically.
If there are for example textures with identical names and paths the content of “u…pk3” overrides the content of “p…pk3”.

If you just use a mod directory, it will always override the main pak files (as mod directories are sorted before etmain in the VFS).

mh so that I see loads ET alphabetical

example: z_jamaica.pk3
?

@RR2DO2
it’s only a pk3 file no mod directory

A friend of me hast test the update, it doesn’t work again

Hey Cartman

What do you mean it dosn’t work again. I just downloaded and ran a map and hey presto, the calipo look on the limbo menu. If your friend has duplicate copies them maybe this could be fouling up the works (could be wrong just a thought about the sexy balck and orange squares with two of the same shader file present)

öh question: how can I play other music in limbo menue? and does run only wav files?

(Schaffer) #10

The file which defines the tune to play is located in global.menu in the section titled background music


menuDef {
  name         "backgroundmusic"
  fullScreen  1
  visible		1

  onOpen {
    //playlooped "sound/music/menu_main.wav"
    playlooped "sound/music/menu_server.wav"
  }
}

What actually links this in is unknown to me. There is some code in the file main.menu attached to the host game button to turn off the music and start server specific music but this has been commented out, prehaps suggesting that it either can’t be done or no music was available. The server music but is also in global.menu but again this has been commented out.

I assume that only wav files are supported but if you want to know for sure then try out something else. I would really only go with either wav or mp3 but I don’t see any other mp3’s in ET so I would assume there is no support for these little creatures. I had heard that ET only supports mono sound but the wav file menu_server.wav is 16 bit stereo.

Hey, I also made a sound mod… I made a new menu_server.wav, but it doesn’t play, it says it couldn’t find any data chunks in it… it is 8Hz and 8 channel’s. I tried all the other types, like 16Hz, 16 channel’s etc.

There are some problems with sound files.

The way it works for me:
Use the windows sound recorder to save your file.
(Take a look at the original file for the exact format.)

There is another program mentioned here in the forums.
You could try another search.

i suggest wavpad, if u also want to edit your sounds,
if i am not mastiken and if i do please correct me.

ET can play sound FX as 44/22 KHZ as 1 channel mono
and MUSIC as 22/44 KHZ as 1/2 Channels mono/stereo

its a pity it cant support OGG sounds type…

and for toc death

is 8Hz and 8 channel’s. I tried all the other types, like 16Hz, 16 channel’s etc.

i dont think there are 8 channels and 16 for i only know 2… maybe am wrong again :smiley:
