hey guys any1 know how to change the weapon ammo string list index from guerilla??i already made a string list for a combat rifle and Picked up %d rounds for combat rifle but how do i make the combat rifle say Picked up %d rounds for combat rifle in the game????i can and i did change the weapon's index so it says Picked up a combat rifle but how to make it say Picked up %d rounds for combat rifle when i pick up it's ammo?

I tried that, I got errors. So what I did was load up hud_item_messages, then export it as Unicode txt file and edited it in notepad.

no.sry i didnt explain it rite,i am using string list editor and i made string number 48 which is 'picked up a combat rifle',then i used kornman00guerilla and changed the combat rifle weapon's message index to 48 so when in game,it says 'picked up a combat rifle',but when ever i get ammo for the combat rifle,it says picked up (number for ammo) rounds for assault rifle.???????some1 help?

OHHHH ok. To do this. it has to be on on string 49. Type:

Picked up %d rounds for combat rifle

Type it exactly as is.

the next step is to make your own strings and edit stuff like "picked up %d needles for needler"
%d is the variable that shows the ammo you picked up for the weapon.
when making stings for weapons, it should follow this pattern:

Picked up a <weapon name here>
###END-STRING###
Picked up %d rounds for <weapon name here>
###END-STRING###

weapon name here can be anything, in fact you can type anything you want. u dont even need to include the %d so it can be like goldeneye 007 where it says "picked up some ammo"
note though, that when you set a weapon to use a message index (done in weapon tag) it will use the following string for ammo pickups.
edit: remeber to include another line after your last string, as in press enter after the ###END-STRING### of your last line. also remember to save in Unicode format

ok thanks i will do that,but what does the ###END-STRING### help and do?

@ donut:
uh hes using the string editor utility, so he doesnt need the: ###end string###

@evilkevin:
its for if you make your own from sratch using notepad or if you modify anothers.

ok thanks guys,i will see if it works.

well if anyone else ever tries to make strings, and they use SEARCH, they will find this, and know how :D

I found that out the hard way :D

it works,and thanks,and

LOL(period).
