Making a HUD weapon icon - Tutorial


Brettzies

Recommended Posts

I followed this tutorial supplied with one of the patches to make icons for weapons, but it seems incomplete. It works for the inventory screen and shows up for your squad mates in-game, it even shows up in your inventory in-game. However, whenever you have the weapon selected, it shows the scarL icons. I think I've been searching for over an hour in the xmls to find something pointing to this. Anyone know how to change the one in the bottom right corner?

Anyone from :grin2: care to comment on this? I know it is a simple thing with no real effect on the game. I just want to know if it's possible to change via the xmls, or hard coded into the compiled game parts. The correct icon shows up in almost everything including when you go full screen cross com. But from the first person view, it's always the scarL.

Alright these icons are really annoying. I haven't done anything different from first weapon to third weapon I've made and I've done everything the tutorial says to do. The weapons in order of production are, M4A1, M16A4, and Mk12SPR. Here are the issues:

inventory

.all weapon base and attachments show up in loadout screen

.all weapon base and attachments show up in teammates list during mission

first person view

.no weapons show up in fpv "selected" weapon - always shows the scarL

crosscom view

.1st weapon+attachments i made shows up

.2nd weapon minus attachments i made shows up

.3rd weapon, nothing shows up

Given that they show up in the inventory and loadout phase, something is correct, but seeing as the rest has problems, and in a pattern, I'm at a loss.
