Alternative DYNAMIC xhair? serverside

[Merlin]

i want to change the look of the standard dynamic crosshair on our COU UO server ... it should stay dynamic but there should be a circle for example which "grows" if run or shoot ... i hope u understand what i mean...

pls can u help me?

any idea how i can do this ? maybe i could disable the standard xhair and then just put a crosshair mod on the server which is animated ? (do you know where i could get such a animated xhair serverside MOD for UO?)

or is it easy to edit the normal dyn. xhair to get another look ? remember this should work serverside ...

You have to look into the .pk3 files it sounds like in order to find where the crosshair is stored. I think you are talking about a feature that is available in some Q3 engine games - "crosshair hints." It would be hard to add that feature into the game unless there was some programming involved, but you can edit the .pk3 file with Dragon Unpacker.

hmm ok i got the "simple" version ;-) (editing old tga´s) an it worx BUT pls what do i have to do that the file will be autodownloaded ==?? i have AWE BlooD moD on our server and the AWEclient files does always autodownload perfectly... but my pk3 with those edited tga´s wont be AUTOdled ... if i put them on server and in my clientside gamefolder the xhair worx... just the autDL not ...argh

what do i have to add to my p3 that autoDL will also DL this little "MoD" any xtra files to add ? pls help this is urgent!!

heres what i got so far ( i already tried to put a csv into it to enable autodl but that dont work - so u can delete the .csv outta this pk3 file- u only need the tga left in pk3 ;-))
www.allyaneed.de/forumstuff/fz-cod/clientfiles/uo/w_dyn-xhair_0.1.pk3

this isnt final or something ... just look at the tga in the pk3 and u see what u have to edit if u want another look ...

this works serverside on pure servers
and clientside and serverside on UNpure
but @the moment not autoDL able...


sry 4 my english

This may help:

On server: sv_allowdownloads 1

On client: cl_allowdownloads 1

nah the AutoDownload itself is already workin... other BlooD MoD Files and custom maps will be autoDL if u connect the server... but not my custom xhair... its weird ...i thought there has to be a special attribut or file in the pk3 so it is "marked" for autoDL
at least if nothing works i will add it to the custom Blood mod file+

btw: is it possible to change the HUD - position of the health bar ... Ammo etc ? and if yes Where can i get infos on how to do that?

[BlackDove]

I don't think it is possible using .pk3 editing. You can show/hide the HUD and compass via console commands.

and whatabout the AUTOdl problem?

[GrumpySpyGuy]

Which AUTODL problem?

C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\Main\pak0.pk3\ui_mp

and you want hud.txt & hud.menu.

[Merlin]

[wurzil]

Erm maybe try ur ..cfg and change this, to this seta sv_allowDownload "1"

By the way , although I don't mind helping you , this is a cheat site not a mod site.

i know this is a cheat site ... but thx for help anyway !! i just asked here because i thought IF there are Pro´s which could gimme a fast reply then its here !! (i know u and this forum from my old MOHAA days ... there i cheatet my heart out but now i found cheating isnt fun anymore for me , it gots boring. Now i try to play clean and im really good ;-) in CoD UO MP. I AM NOT AC or so !!! i just dont use cheats anymore!
we play in a clan now and its quite awesome to see those noobs cryin around "hAX" or "Cheat0r" just because ur good as hell and makin heady after heady ;-)

Thanks for the link i will check it out! currently im workin on my own MOD which will be an addon for Merciless UO (not released yet) and AWEUO - both are the best serverside BloodMODS + entertainment Addons that ive ever seen - now my addon will bring some new optical and atmospheric stuff - maybe some new weapons also ...we´ll see !

--------
Like i mentionend above the AUTODOWNLOAD WORX FOR ALL FILES : Maps, clientfile for AWE etc ... but mysteriusly not for my edited crosshair tga-pk3 ... really weird ... i dont know why ... maybe CoD has something like a protection on those files? (remember THEY WORK IF I MANUALLY PUT THEM ON CLIENT AND SERVER - or offer them on my HP for DL....) only AutoDLing THESE xhairTGAs wont work ... WHY?
