Title: Adding command bar insignia
Post by: Nobby on 14 Jun 2003, 19:16:06: How do you add those little insignia icons at the bottom bar which contains all your soldiers? e.g the officer icon, spec-ops icon etc

AND

Where are all those little icons located?

Cheers.

Post by: Kaliyuga on 14 Jun 2003, 21:04:11: those insignia are part of the unit defined in it's config.cpp file and uneditable as far as I know unless you make your own addon with your own custom icon for your unit

Post by: Nobby on 14 Jun 2003, 21:10:19: How about if I edit the config.cpp file?
There must be some way.

Post by: Nobby on 15 Jun 2003, 12:23:29: very true, however I will be only editing the invasion 1944 demo units and it's no problem to download the inv_demo_data.pbo because you can always delete it if you don't like the changes I made to 'em.

So please could you tell me the command lines that will insert these icons?

Cheers.

Post by: dmakatra on 15 Jun 2003, 12:59:55: I dunno really how u do it but u can do it. U have to dePBO the invasion44.pbo and check the .cpp file and do sum shit or sumthin. Anyway, if itÃ‚'s the invasion 1944 pbo u are going to hack it may not be legal... They might have some copyright on their stuff and then they can make yer life a hell... or not. Ask Sefe, heÃ‚'s OFPECs law master. ;D

Post by: Skaircro on 15 Jun 2003, 16:28:19: It can be edited through the config.cpp line for picture in the cfgvehicles section:
picture="\addon_name\pic.paa";

BUT, as The real Armstrong mentioned, I dont think the Invasion 1944 guys would appreciate you editing their addons.
And if you do it against their wishes, and release it, you will make a lot of enemies.

If you do want to edit the units, contact the appropriate member of the mod and seek their permission first.
If you are editing it for your own personal use then there shouldn't be a problem.
