This is Irritating..
 

I have followed 3 different tutorials on making a simple modification to a weapon skin on moh. 2 from this site.. I edit the tga's and save them into the right directories.. Zip it up and give it a pk3 extension.. tried both the "user-" and "zzzzz" before the file name.. moh will just not load it!! I even downloaded an already made grenade skin mod and replaced the tga with mine and it works for some reason and my pk3 file is exactly the same.. what is the problem.. It has to be either the names im giving the files or the way I made the pk3 because I have all the directories right inside the pk3. mad: Someone help me!

Post your pk3 here and we can look. I think its your shader thats at fault but lets have a look.

u didnt need to make a new thread, next time just add it to your other post. just givin you a heads up for next time

Ok.. umm not sure how to post it.. so ill host it on my website.. http://www.geocities.com/LordSaxon2/Use ... er.pk3.zip

Just take off the zip part sorry yahoo is dumb like that.

Edit: Umm.. not sure why that ain't workin darnit. go to http://www.geocities.com/LordSaxon2/ and click the link in the middle sorry.

It's been awhile since i did any work on skins but your missing a WHOLE lot.

If the file i downloaded is what your putting in your main that there is totally wrong.

use pakscape to make the file a pk3

I'm not sure the folder path you have in that .zip is right either. I'm sure when Scorpion replies he'll be able to help you much more.

Download a skin for the Axis nades and tear it apart seeing how it was made and set up. That helped me out alot.

good luck

It works perfectly fine..It did fux my sys though..I was getting 30fps when i normaly get 300 hake:

Conscript are you saying it works perfectly on your system?

(Wow 300 fps.... what video card do you have it must be a beast of a card)

Yup it works fine. For making pk3's tho i use winzip its a lot easier 4 me.
Just a question tho you do have texture comp switched off dont you? Cos that would make you not see it as you dont have a dds file as well.

Scorp

Well it still doesn't work for me.. and I have texture compression on.. and what is a dds file?

Oh thank the good Lord!!!! your a saint... rock: it works after i turned off texture compression.. but now I realize how crappy textures look in moh lol

Edit: scratch that it's just my ugly grenade

good to see you got it working.

Scorp

dds files are the files for texture compression. edit those and put that in a pk3 and to work u will need texture compression on.

Ok now I have a new question and I don't want to start a new thread so.. Where are the files containing the amount of ammo, damage of bullets, etc of the weapons? I want to mod the guns for my server..

look in one of your pk3's its bound to be in one gl. freak:

I have looked in every one.. there are too many subfolders and im not familiar with the file name or extension of it.

Edit: I just looked through all of the files again.. it could only be in pak0.pk3 and I can't find it! wallbash:

lord don't get frustrated take your time...by the time you've modded for a while you'll be able to go through the packs in your sleep.

I know.. but I'm trying to find something I know nothing about.. I believe it's in pak0.pk3/ui/hud_ammo_garand.urc.. anybody know if this is correct?

I downloaded an automatic mod for the garand and compared the urc file to my games one and there is no difference.. i dont get it.

The urc only controls stuff on screen. Menus and the like you refer to the thing known as a .tik i think.


Scorp

Thanks man.. hehe now I get to do crazy stuff.. ;)

pak0.pk2/models/weapons/(nameofweapon).tik

there ya go :) usually u just need to edit that file but sometimes u may need to open up pak0.pk3/global/mike_torso.st
both type of files (.tik and .st) can be opened with notepad

that happent to me onece.

That's a different folder setup but if your up to it I will post what .pk3


Go to Pak0>Models>Weapons and there you go.

weapons files
 

ok the files you need to edit the ammo and bullet damage and so on is in the
pak6.pk3 in the folder models and then weapons. they are .tik files so you can edit them with wordpad or what ever text prog you have. good luck hellfire:
