replace the large_laserlockicon

[HakunaMatata]

I want to change the ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserlockic on.tga to ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laservarnin g.tga

I have placed the new icon in the same map as the orginal.
It has the same size and all. But as soon as someone trigger the laserwarning BF2 CTD.

Soo what do I do wrong :cry: ?

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

With the patch, they updated the altas files.
I noticed that but i didnt change the alpha channel on my atlas.
Thats what happened:

So be sure to have the correct alpha channel.
And while saving in dds format, choose interpolated alpha, not explicit, no MipMaps.

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

Thx alot.

My english could also be alot better :-)

Do you knew if there is a way to get and show tha angle of the threat?
And how to get a warning when someone "paints" you with the targetdesignator (SIMRAD)?

Do you knew if there is a way to get and show tha angle of the threat?

um, i didnt understand this question, lol

Add this to a vehicle of your choice to get the warning:

rem ---BeginComp:WarningHud ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent WarningHud
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.firstWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.secondWarningSound HUD_Laser_Track_Warning
ObjectTemplate.WarningHud.warningIcon Ingame\GeneralIcons\Action_Icons\large_laserlockicon.tga
rem ---EndComp ---

And to make the vehicle visible for target systems such as the planes in bomb mode add this:

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate LaserTarget_vehicle

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

Ill try to explain.
Is there a way for thetanker to knew if the guy with the "SRAW" is behind, in front or on the sides of the tank.

About the SIMRAB. I would like to get a warnig as son as it paints the tank. Not wait until the "bomb" is fired.

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

Hmm, never worked with the simrad.
And i doubt theres a way to show the tank driver who the guy with the AT missile is :/

I found something that looks like a missile indicator.
It has been removed from the game, for whatever reason..

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

So has the simrad. The roumer is that it lagged the game. Its a funny tho. If you "paint" a guy, you get a targetlock on him every time he gets into a LaserTarget_vehicle :-) unless you "paint" something else.

Thank you for your help, its much appreciated. If you by accident solves my problems you knew were to find me.

Ill start working on the alphachannel stuff now. Have a nice weekend.

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

eee, sorry to disturb you again but: http://web.telia.com/~u19119089/ it works!

Unfortunate that image is too small. Is i possible to make it bigger? Or is the size defined in the sourcecode?

[wolfi]

Re: replace the large_laserlockicon

I think it can be bigger, but you will have to do it with the atlas tools.
I dont know how this works, i wish id know it but i dont..
