[Help] where are the weapon icons ?

[FISHBED]

Hi there i was modding BF2 for personal use and when i wanted to add weapons to BF2 i couldnot find the weapon icons in the Menu client all i found was those folders and those are thier stats :
Crosshair [Empty] nothing in it
Jackhammer the same
M16m203 same
Selection not empty i found just CHRIF_Type95.tga
SpecialKitIcons nothing
Stinger not empty and not important i think
Tow not empty
ZIS3 not empty
So where are the weapon icons ? plz help

I just checked it for me and yes, I got the very same issue and file layout. I'm confused just as well .

EDIT: Found it. Forgot that BF2 uses atlases.

Check
mods\pr_wgp_edit\menu\Atlas\MemeAtlas_1.dds
for all the files

You have two methods to mess with HUD icons in memeAtlases:

Change or add your icons in/to "C:\gamez\bf2\mods\pr-own\menu\menu_client-zip\atlas\XX_MemeAtlas_0.dds" and modify AtlasList.con and PR_MemeAtlas.tac respectively.

Look at this thread for mode help. It's not difficult but quite nasty job...

Better way is to create a new atlas file by generating it with dice_textureAtlasTool.exe:

Edit "C:\gamez\bf2\mods\pr_own\menu\menu_server-zip\atlas\AtlasList.con" and "C:\gamez\bf2\mods\pr-own\menu\menu_server-zip\atlas\XX_MemeAtlas.tac".

Command line should be something like:

Code: Select all

dice_textureAtlasTool.exe -i Menu\Atlas\XX_MemeAtlas.tac -nompimap

And when it's done, compress it:

Code: Select all

nvcompress -bc3 -nocuda -nomips XX_MemeAtlas_0.dds
