Change weapon pickup icon index number?

[kenney001]

Where do i change the Weapon pickup icon index number? I havea custom pickup icon bitmap already linked to my hud globals, but the weapons are displaying the wrong icon....

Also, how would i change the Shields bar? The weapon in question is using the Halo 1 shields at the top right, and i need the h2 and the bottom left (i have the H2 hud set). Do i need to change a bitmap link or what?

Check the Weapon_HUD_Interface tag. It's at the bottom.

FIXED: It was all the mp biped using the wrong HUD. I got it thanks...

Ok now i have another problem. I have changed the icon message bitmap in the hud globals file, and when i change teh sequencing index it seems to pick a random icon, and not the one i assigned it. Such as what should be #2, the plasma rifle, gives me #20...


*edit* crap double post....sorry guys i clicked the wrong button.........

Are you sure you're following the tuts right? Just making sure. I know you have to reassign the Plasma Cannon (Fine, Fuel Rod) from 24 to 14.
Also, if you are using custom ones, make sure you're counting the HUD Index Number right, so you don't horribly mess anything up. I did it once, lol.

I know how to do these things so i dont need a tut. Besides, the bitmap im using IS being used, I can tell because half the icons are only on THIS bitmap, and they are showing up in-game just with the wrong number. Now usually the engine goes left to right top to bottom right? Well I tried each one individually and made a chart:

I got the proper icons on the proper weapons, but that took WAY longer than it should have......Those are the icons with the sequence index that pointed to them...

To change the shield bar, go into UI\HUD\Cyborg.unit_hud_interface. Mess around in there and somewhere there is shield bar outline and shield bar meter. Replace with proper bitmap.
