customizing vsay help!

[meltzen]

anyone got any info on adding some custom vsays to your vsay menu?
a sample script maybe?

[gotenks]

it'd have to run on non-pure servers, but edit the mp_pak0.pk3 (i believe) you won't beable to play on pure servers any more... but if your the server host... ask IM2GOOD4U, he's done it for a while

[=FF=im2good4u]

yeh i done

the voice chat menu are scriptable they are in Q3 (menu) script format

here is other topic i helped about it

http://bani.anime.net/banimod/forums/vi ... u&start=15

to add your own voice chat you need the chat.voice files to edit the ingame voichat menu you need the quickmessage.menu files

[zackinma]

i am interested in making my own media pack similar to the banimediapack.pk3

really all i want to do is add more stuff to the existing media pack.

i am attempting to teach myself how this is done.
addind the sounds to the wm_allies_chat.voice and wm_axis_chat.voice looks easy enough. i need help w/ the vsay meno itself.
the wm_quickmessagealt.menu file
i dont know what to do in here so the new sounds appear on the vsay menu.

here is an example of how it starts:

#define DEFAULT_TEXT_SCALE 0.25

#define ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE 10 110

{
menuDef {
name "wm_quickmessageAlt"
visible 0
fullscreen 0
rect 0 100 640 380
focusColor 1 1 1 1
disablecolor 0 0 0 0
backcolor 0 0 0 0
style WINDOW_STYLE_FILLED
border 1

onOpen { setCvar cl_bypassMouseInput "1" }
onClose { setCvar cl_bypassMouseInput "0" }

itemDef {
name window
visible 1
rect 0 0 170 170
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE
forecolor 1 1 1 1
backcolor 0 0 0 1
style WINDOW_STYLE_SHADER
border 1
background "ui_mp/assets/quickmessage_background.tga"
decoration
}

itemDef {
name "window"
visible 1
rect 36 15 128 20
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE
forecolor 0 1 1 1
backcolor 0 0 0 0
text "Message"
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL
textscale .25
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_CENTER
decoration
}

itemDef {
name "window"
visible 1
rect 10 39 128 16
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE
forecolor 1 1 1 1
backcolor 0 0 0 0
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL
textscale .25
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_LEFT
text "1. Statements"
decoration
}
execKey "1" { close wm_quickmessageAlt; open altwm_quickstatements }

itemDef {
name "window"
visible 1
rect 10 54 128 16
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE
forecolor 1 1 1 1
backcolor 0 0 0 0
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL
textscale .25
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_LEFT
text "2. Requests"
decoration
}
execKey "2" { close wm_quickmessageAlt; open altwm_quickrequests }

normally when i teach myself this stuff i just follow the pattern and add from there, but i cant find it here, for example forecolor is always the same, but rect is always different, and i dont know what that means.

any links you can provide that would point me in the right direction, or information?
thanks

[=FF=im2good4u]

oke i can help u on that iv got los of XP whit Q3menu's (and whit rtcw scriptable huds)

well now

there are 2 forecolors for global the text is in yellow and for team chat is white

forecolor works whits 4 seperated value RED GREEN BLUE ALPHA
1 = 100%
0 = 0%

so 1 1 1 1 makes it use full red / green / blue witch means its white and full aplha so no transpecrecy

the rect is the postion it also used 4 values X Y W H
X is the left offset from left of screen
Y is the hight offset from top of the screen
W is the with of the itemdef itself
H is the hight of the itemdef itself

W/H is calculated out of X/Y sl the left position of the itemdef is the Y while the right position is Y+W

but since we work whit text in a voicechat menu we dont need W/H since they have to influence on text

if u leek between itemdef u well seee there is a repeating invcrease ment of the Y (15)

so the the distance between each linethat is drawn on screen

oke back to the menu code
fist the start off

Code: Select all

{ 
menuDef { //this is the starting of the menu
name "wm_quickmessageAlt" 
visible 0 
fullscreen 0 
rect 0 100 640 380 
focusColor 1 1 1 1 
disablecolor 0 0 0 0 
backcolor 0 0 0 0 
style WINDOW_STYLE_FILLED 
border 1 

onOpen { setCvar cl_bypassMouseInput "1" } 
onClose { setCvar cl_bypassMouseInput "0" } 

itemDef { //this is the menu image that is drawn on screen (the background image)
name window 
visible 1 
rect 0 0 170 170 
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE 
forecolor 1 1 1 1 
backcolor 0 0 0 1 
style WINDOW_STYLE_SHADER 
border 1 
background "ui_mp/assets/quickmessage_background.tga" 
decoration 
} 

itemDef { //this is the message text witch is show
name "window" 
visible 1 
rect 36 15 128 20 
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE 
forecolor 0 1 1 1 
backcolor 0 0 0 0 
text "Message" 
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL 
textscale .25 
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_CENTER 
decoration 
}

in part of code the only thing that realy matters is the name field of the menudef since that is used when u open the menu by the action open <menuname>

then now the vsay

Code: Select all

itemDef { 
name "window" 
visible 1 
rect 10 39 128 16 
origin ORIGIN_QUICKMESSAGE 
forecolor 1 1 1 1 
backcolor 0 0 0 0 
textfont UI_FONT_NORMAL 
textscale .25 
textalign ITEM_ALIGN_LEFT 
text "1. Statements" 
decoration 
} 
execKey "1" { close wm_quickmessageAlt; open altwm_quickstatements } 

here the only thing that ealy matter are the text to display witch is set in the text field and the action of this itemdef the execKey

execKey used 2 inputs KEY { ACTION }
key is the key u press to trigger it
action is whut it trigger or wut it does

in this example it uses 2 action seperated by a ; 1e action is close <menuname> NOTE: that the menu name is the same as the menu name of the menudef it is part of so it closes its own menu ; 2e action is open <menuname> NOTE: hat menu name matches the menu name of the statements menudef

there many other posable menu action like the voicechat triggers witch are in the other itemdefauls

<hr>
some other usefull info
screen rect values are calcutlated per pixel on a screen from 640 * 480

[zackinma]

ok i got all that, my menu appears to be working fine. all the new options come up and stuff. but none of my new sounds play, nor does the text i entered in the wm_allies.chat.voice &

all the origional vsay's still work though
is there something other then adding the info into the wm_allies_chat.voice wm_axis_chat.voice and wm_quickmessagealt.menu
that i am supposed to do here to get them to work. like i said all the options appear in the menu, just dont work when i hit the button to use them.
any ideas.

here are some samples of the .menu file (to make sure i did this right)

// ============
// DF Clan 2

zack...

[zackinma]

do the .wav files have to be at a specific sample rate?

[zackinma]

dont think it's the menu
because i drop console and try to get them to work using /vsay and they still dont work.

[=FF=im2good4u]

vaw files need a special rate yeh i cant tell u wich rate but rtcw isnt that advanved lol play some of the working ones and look for thier rate

also post your wm_<team>_vouce.soud file code it might be wrong there

and try playing the sound by /play path/filename.wav

i didn't piut the /sounds/multiplayer etc because the bani chants work fine and they dont have them so i didn't think they were required since they were located in the exact same pk3 file. the moo and the your so busted work, but were part of the media pack before i started to edit. the my edits start here is not in the file, i just added it so you could see. everyting up to my edits was a media pack already made and works fine, but nothing i added does. like i said menu works fine.

[zackinma]

the custom media sounds do play when i do the /play as you had asked me to try in prior post.

[zackinma]

ok i think i'm getting some where. i know all the sounds play as i was able to play them in wolf.
for a test rather then adding more menu vsays i took the last one on the last menu and changed it to a custom sound. then i edited then .voice files and tested it, it worked. but when i did this all of a sudden all the bani taunts stopped working. this was very strange as i didn't even touch any of the menu for them. i noticed on the media pack the bani chants were not in the .voice files. but they worked till i edited the menu and the .voice file, then they ALL stopped working. strange... any ideas?

[macsta]

I am trying to do the same, what PK3 file did you put your modified wm_axis_chat.voice ? I can play the sound, but when I try to ref it with Vsay I cant get it to work at all, please help if you can

[=FF=im2good4u]

the files go in the /scripts/ subdirectory for the rest that can be put in any .pk3 u want

just make sure it gest loaded over your original pack

so i suggest nme it somthing like zvsays.pk3

[macsta]

yeah tried that, even downloaded the SKS one you created and used that as a template. only thing is the server is not downloading the file to the users, so its not adding the sounds to the clients VSAYS!

Tried everything I can think of, do I have to ref the new file in the server.cfg? or anything like that?
