Modifying Taunts

Hey, I was looking to make our sounds for the taunts and we can get the menu to display a different name and the sound to play but when we say v, 0, 1 (shazbot, which we changed) the sound plays, but it still says "Shazbot!" in the bottom of the screen. I opened the qagame_mp_x86.dll and found the text display, but whenever I change the text, the banimod doesn't load correctly. If this is considered modifying too much, then sorry, but if it's cool that I wanna do that, anyone know how to do it?

if you change a pk3 it's invalid and you cannot play on pure servers

Yeah we're just playing on a LAN, changing the pk3 file has no effect on gameplay for us, except the sound works, but the text still says Shazbot

Weve changed some of the sounds on our server, I havent found out how to change the menu items yet. For our server which is pure we have settup a unique folder where banimod items are placed. This has to be modified in the command line as well. So what this does is create a folder of "ddt" on clientside game and loads our special mediapack. It doesnt effect other server players go ti that way.

I made something similar for my friends from the SKS clan. Though this is for ET, RtCW is similar.
Connect to the server 82.211.37.183:28009 and download sks.pk3.
I added sounds (and adjusted the quick chat menu) and changed some textures.
Simply unzip the file to see how I done it.

Where would I find these files?
scripts/wm_allied.voice and /script wm_axis.voice
ui_mp/quickmassage and ui_mp/quickmassagealt.menu

Ive looked on our server in scripts folder and all I see is the translation file. There is no scripts folder in the banimod folder I can see. Can you be precise as to how I can get to these fiels and what you edit them with. Notepad maybe like other files?

Thx

it's in the banimod pk3

=FF=im2good4u · Post by **=FF=im2good4u** » Wed Jun 09, 2004 6:09 am

the files are inside pak0.pk3 or mp_pak1.pk3

banimod 1.1.99 has 1 wm_quickmassagealt that ads banimod voice chat
to the numeric chat not the alpha chat

i dunno if banimod pk3 has the wm_.voice files

just checked and nope it doesnt so you need to get em out op mp_pak1.pk3 or pak0.pk3

inside /scripts

OK Im making progress. Ive found the files, and got them opened. (For others this is done by changing the .ext to .txt and open with notepad) On my game they are in the /main folder not /scripts

So im wondering.... this will change the pak0.pk3 and mp_pak1.pk3 files when the edit is done. Our server is set to pure and forcednld so... When I reload these pak0.pk3 and mp_pak1.pk3 to the server visitors will then be forced to dnld the new pak0.pk3 and mp_pak1.pk3 files, which will give them the new menu items ...correct?

Ragnar_40k thx for the help but I have never played the ET and would be too much for me to look at those.

=FF=im2weak4u Thx for the help as well, Whats the IP of your server where I can have a look at what youve done. Thx

=FF=im2good4u · Post by **=FF=im2good4u** » Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:02 am

our ip is 69.0.210.82:27960

dont put the moddified files back in pak0 lol that pack is like 200 MB

put it in a new pack like i did name it different and if the nummer or letter is higher thne the pak0.pk3 it will overwhite

so the complete dl will only be a few kb (unless you add new sounds)

on my server got a lot of modifications

you need to look at the ffquickchatfix.pk3

and 1 more thing keep the extension you can still open whit wordpoad if will just open a window saying it doesnt know how to opeen thne choose wordpad for it and use normal save (not save ass)

but when you finis rename en back to thier extenion else it wont work

Here is a complete Soundpack I did last year to add a whole bunch-o-new VSAYS into RTCW. Also added to many of the internal sounds.

Check the format of the wm_voice.axis and wm_voice.allies file inside the .pk3. It should serve as a good Reference for you to create a new soundpack.

ok guys...

I understand how to edit the menu to add the new choices for sounds withing the "wm_quickmessageAlt.menu" file. My question is where is the actual "text message" displayed in the game held? I dont see the text thats displayed in this "wm_quickmessageAlt.menu" file.

If....
...I just did the edit in the "wm_quickmessageAlt.menu" file providing a new sub-menu for the new sounds and added the sounds to the banimediapak, but did not provide the "text message" would the sounds play?
