Weapon Names

[Rofldonutburger]

How do I make a new name for a weapon that I imported from another map? I know how to edit the ustr, but I don't know how to make a completely new "weapon name" there. Can anyone help?

[Sparky]

Yes.

Can you wait until Eschaton 0.7 comes out? You will probably need to rebuild the map.

Alternatively, edit one of the weapon strings that you're not using, like the <insert string here> one and reference that in the weapon's tag under Main Data in Eschaton. If you want a step-by-step, holla.

grr... I did this some times... it was in AXIS, too... Where are Taxi and BRIMSTONE when you need them? D:
I shall do some searching when I have time :3

[seabeast]

Hai neko! BRIMSTONE left some time ago though. :,( But Amy made it into "acquired a Bomber" For teh RL.

We have made history, two girls active on MGM at the same time.

Great job people. <Monoman needs thumbs-up smiley>

[Spartan-039]

Who are the two girls? I know one of them is amy.

[seabeast]

Who do you think? Who posted recently for the first time in awhile? Think.

[Altimit01]

I'll give you a hint. Chan is a japanese suffix applied to names for children and girls.

[§hÎn£¥ H€llm£†]

woah! its neko!

[Spartan-039]

yep its neko

[Xenoku]

Neko-chan! I remember you helped me out with skinning, thanks for that. /offtopic

Anyways, I think that what Sparky suggested was one of the correct ways to edit the names.

- open your map in Eschaton 0.6.2
- open the ustr tag class and select ui\hud\hud_item_messages
- Meta Editing has all of the item-related messages (i.e. Picked up a flamethrower)

There's lotsa stuff in ustr to play with :3

"a girl on the interwebs equals a hundred of boners" - a Taxian proverb.

...but then i remember rule 30. <_<


BAI TEH WAI, here is a tutorial from the land of the dead!:
NOTE: i'm on a non-working ibook with eschaton 0.7 and 0.4, and 0.7 has not some plugins sooo... it's like blind modding. <_<
- in eschaton 0.6 goto ustr tags and select ui\hud\hud_item_messages (or maybe hud_icon_messages... eschaton 0.7 does not have the plugin and i don't remember which one is for weapons... ¬_¬!!!)
- scroll down until you see "you picked up a full-spectrum vision" followed by "34 <need a string here>" or something like that.
- type "you picked up a BLARGH" in the spectrum vision one, and "picked up %s BLARGHs" in the <need a string> one.
- now goto weap tags and select your weapon.
- in eschaton.7's entity's plugins the path is int16 > message index but in 0.6 it could be Main > int16 > message index. I don't remember. D:
- after you reached that message index thing there will be a number.
In ustrs i said that full-spectrum vision is followed by 34; but i may be wrong! (i don't remember!)
...here you must type the number that corresponds to the full-spectrum string. to know this number you have to subtract 1 by the following string. (i.e.: if the string after full-spectrum is really 34 the full-spectrum string number will be 33!) <_<
- write that number in the type box.

and voillà. ¬_¬ when i will get my imac back i will explain better. sorreh. :-\ x3

Taxi, ustr related editing doesn't come from plugins. Just so ya know.

[TaxiService]
