First time custom HUD icons (e.g. in a mod) are loaded, they apear broken.

See here:
http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=32139&start=0&rid=2 2815

Can TT fix this?

Or someone knows the reason for this?

I'm not the only one with this problem....

Somewhat related, and I don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but is it possible to have custom hud.ini's stored *inside* a .mix/.pkg map? =/

No.


Also not related to my own topic, but why?:

"JFW_HUD_INI (Loads a new hud ini at runtime for the player it is attached to)
HUDINI (what ini file to load)
see bhs.txt for more details of the hud ini code"

I've always had this problem as-well.
If you're using Targa, try DDS. Else the other way around.

That itself was a failure post..

Reborn is a Standalone game, and therefore NOT a .pkg...
It uses its own always.dat file, etc, etc. Think of a .pkg as an add-on to Renegade, and Reborn as another game that simply uses Renegade's engine.

Man, Always.dat is made like a pkg file, they make Always.dat by explorting file as a pkg and naming it always.dat. your a modder? Yeah right.

Uh, no. I don't think so. And even if this does work, it is an incredibly inefficient way, using XCC Mixer to just delete/add files is incredibly easier. I have to do this a lot, actually, with the work I do over at Bluehell Productions.

Both are MIX archives. The main difference is that always.dat and similar files are available at game start and "always" loaded. The .mix packages for maps and .pkg files for mod packages otoh are opened when a game with that mod/map is started. I assume the hud.ini is loaded on game start so including it in the always files may work, but including it in a .pkg does not.

Hud.ini is not loaded on game start, its loaded on dll load.

Uhm yeah, with "game start" I meant "Renegade startup" in that case... My bad, thanks for clearing that up. Wink
