I've been fooling around with my config/hud recently and I saw that you can now replace the weapon in r_tracker frags (ie. lithium RL plaz) with images. I did a quick search on the forum and found a post but the links contained within seemed to be dead. So, does anyone have any tracker images? Also, if you do if you have the fragfile set up for it too it would be helpful to post that as well.

povohat probably have it.

qqshka: it'd be nice if those were uploaded in ezQuake repository and also some basic documentation would be nice...

ok you need to edit fragfile.dat in the ezquake folder. About halfway down the file, there is a "// WEAPON CLASSES" section. You should see some lines like

add backslashes around the display name for each weapon, eg:


Now instead of using text, the tracker will look for images located in ezquake\textures\tracker by the same name. eg: sg.png, ssg.png
As far as images are concerned, have a look inside ezquake's hud.pak (textures\wad) for the files called inv_shotgun, inv_sshotgun, etc. You can extract those, manipulate them (adjust saturation and brightness to taste), and save them as the appropriate tracker images.

I don't use these in my setup anymore, so I don't have any images handy. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

newbie here, what are trackers?

http://ezquake.sourceforge.net/docs/?tracker-stats

yeah, thx inter for info, so I don't need write docs

can i get a clean "x RL y" frag messages with my software ezq? i think its 1.82 or 3. and by clean i mean something that could differ the messages from each others by other means than the words itself. like colored messages.

Don't think you can get colored messages in software :[

dont mean to bring up such an old topic
but i set myself up with some tracker images and was wondering if it were possible to make the blue colored "q" that appears when you kill someone with quad, use an image too

why not, "\ssg\ \q\", should work, I think.

that worked thanks
if people are interested in these tracker images, i can upload them somewhere

im interested, so please go ahead.

alright

i included my edited fragfile.dat too, that should be used with this

they are basically smaller versions of the hud elements that i use nothing special
