how do you set up new ammo counter bitmaps in a hud interface?

[teh lag]

Do you mean the display, as in the bitmaps that have icons for each round in a magazine?
Do you mean getting actual numbers set up?

You're not really being so clear - even beyond what tpye of counter you mean, "set up" is just about as general as you can possibly be.

[Gwunty]

Actual numbers. Like the numbers next to the grenade icon etc.

Alright then.

I believe the way you change the numbers (assuming that's what you mean) is by importing a font tag using the tool windows-font command, and then referencing it under your hud_globals.

[Gwunty]

No the numbers are actually a bitmap, I just dont know where the hell they go.

Are you sure they're meant to be a bitmap? I think they're set in this -

- part of the grenade_hud_interface tag, which has no reference area for a bitmap.

[Gwunty]

Yhea 100% sure becuase I already changed my font and the numbers stayed the same. Also becuase the bitmap exists. I just dont know where it gose.

The numbers are a bitmap located in the globals.globals tag. Ligntning once linked me to a page with an application that made them real easy for you, but I forget the link. You can always use the H2 numbers P0lar released in his H2 HUD though.

Ah, my bad then.

Yeah, they're referenced in a "hud_counter" tag, which in turn is part of globals.globals (look under the "interface bitmaps" section).

[Gwunty]

Well I replaced the bitmap, but ingame there's no change.

[Masterz1337]

Did you replace it or reference a new one?

[Gwunty]

Replaced it, but the actual bitmap is different.

[teh lag]

I'd guess that tool is loading the original one from loc/bitmaps.map, the same way it loads other "default" stuff like the hog skin. Change it to an entirely new reference from the globals.

[Masterz1337]

Lag is correct. You could always hex edit your bitmaps.map, but that is only really useful for load screens and UIs. Just making it a new tag and refing it should do the trick.

[Gwunty]

I had thought so, well thanks guys.
