Hey, have a few questions and i'll be happy if anyone would answer :)

1.i try to add things and weapons through the .cfg files of the maps, i dont know how to use VTF files, is that ok ?

2. when i try to add ammo to my custom weapon through the "give" command i get "ERROR: Attempting to give unknown ammo type () " - using "give item_custom", allthough if i type "givecurrentammo" he adds it fine.

3.will custom ammo pickups will be featured in OC 1.35 ?

4.when i try to add custom_m3 as a pickup in the "CFG" files i get

Code: Select all

Attempted to create unknown entity type custom_m3!
MapEntity_ParseEntitiesFromTxtFile: Can't init custom_m3
5.is there currently a way to switch npc's weapons in the CFG files without creating new npc's ? for example switch all super combine soldiers weapons to diffrent ones and ect . .

6. i'm a musician and i really like this mod and i want to help it evolve in anyway i can, i am a musician and i could compose some music for use in the mod. here's my youtube page featuring some movie soundtrack covers and original compositions http://www.youtube.com/user/NirShor

I know i ask alot of questions but it's all out of curiousity and the thirst for knowlage ^^ thx again.

1.yey !

2. i did read it . "Creating Custom Ammos" ("http://wiki.neic0.de/?title=Creating_Cu ... ustom_Ammo") syas nothing about that error, the only diffrence is that i do it through CFG files.

3. yey !

4. i did read it. "mapadd scripts" ("http://wiki.neic0.de/?title=Mapadd_Scripts") it says nothing about this error, this is how i added it, again through the cfg files.

Code: Select all

    Add
    {
        "custom_m3"
        {
            "angles" "-67.5 45.5 0"
            "fademindist" "-1"
            "fadescale" "1"
            "spawnflags" "1"
            "origin" "4349 -2216 -55"
        }
     }
thx again
