how do I mod?

[Sir Fragsalot]

I'm not entirely sure if I should post this here, but...  I am an utter noob, and I have absolutely NO IDEA how to mod. Please help!

ehmmm first you need ideas, do the weapons with some program (MS paint, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro...) scrach some sfx and do the weapon - gfx

[mxyzptlk]

I think he needs more than that.

This will tell you most of what you need to know.

Or, or you're lazy like me, get a weapon name, search for it on google, get an image,  shrink it, outline it black, and re-detail it with more contrast.

(Thus, why I only need MS Paint )

[Sir Fragsalot]

I've got some ideas, I just have no idea how to actually modify the game.

Thank you. Thank you so very much. Mere words cannot describe my gratitude.

Date Posted: April 20, 2007, 01:09:51 PMOK, now I'm having trouble finding the "main Soldat directory" thingy.

[mxyzptlk]

The folder where soldat is installed.
Any other questions?

[Sir Fragsalot]

I went there. No directory thingy.

[Will]

Do you know how to navigate in windows explorer?

The place where soldat is installed. You'll have these files and folders:
Weapons-gfx
Sfx
Interface-gfx
Soldat.exe
and stuff like that

Anyway you need to acces weapon-gfx for the ingame sprites, interface-gfx/guns for the guns you see when you select your weapon abd sfx for sounds in the game. Al of that is described in the modding guide s I can't really help you more...

[Sir Fragsalot]

OK, I think I found it.

[Grundoko]

how do i change the weapons themselves. like make a weapon heal and change the amount of gravity or kickback a weapon has or  make it do more damage or less damage ect

[xtishereb]

Edit weapons.ini. It's recommended to save it as a separate file, then use the /loadwep command to load the weapon settings in-game. You might want to use a program to help you with that, check in the Fan Apps section.

yeah........i that i did what you said in ms paint but how do i upload my file to show you? i drew a dessert eagle if its important.

[Keron Cyst]

In your post, click on Additional Options... and upload the file.

A directory is a base folder containing more folders. In your case, it'd be ..\Soldat\ (probably C:\Soldat).

[AliBaba]

I made a mod and when i load it it doesn't work, when i load it it says the version and the name and at the weapons menu it says weapon mod but none of the mods show up, why?

[Keron Cyst]

How are you loading it? Where are you placing which files at? You can only expect to receive as much help as the vague information you give, you know

[syphon0]

i got that prob to. on the weapons list, only the changed text i amde works. on the lsit the pictures for the weapons are the same untill you equip them. but on the list there unchanged. how do you fix that?
