When I put cmt weapons in my map and in-game I go to pick them up,it says the wrong thing. Example: I put a Assault Rifle CC.I go to pick it up,when I pick it up,it says "Picked up the flag". Can someone tell me how to fix this?

But Don't Forget to make a backup file of it. Alright first. Download this : http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4279
Extract to what ever place you want it be. Then open it up. Go to Tool>Utilities then click String List Editor. After you open it up go find you hud_item_messege.unicode_string_list. Edit what ever string you want. Then hit "Save List" and overwrite the existing file. But Don't Forget to make a backup file of it. Before doing my my steps.

I didn't realize it has string list editing,I will edit this post to tell you if it worked or not...
Edit: Okay I edited the string list and saved,I haven't tested yet,but I have a question: When you go over a weapon,it says "Press (key) to pick up (Picture of weapon).
How would I change what weapon it shows?

How do I know if its the one I want?
When I open hud_icon_messages,it says d-pad up,d-pad down,etc...

Your thinking the wrong one. That when you get near a vehicle and its say" Press E to enter warthog".

Watch his tutorial and learn how to make a pick up icon: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3091

I don't want to make one,I want to use an existing one.

Use the Bitmaps Exractor/Viewer. Extract the bitmaps and view in image.

What file do I view? I went to hud_msg_icons,but how do I know what number one of them is?

For the strings, you want to look in "hud_item_messages.unicode_string_list"

I know:

Open up the bitmap tag "tags\ui\hud\bitmaps\combined>hud_msg_icons.bitmap".
In a "weapon_hud_interface" tag, at the very bottom is a sequence value.
Change that based on the weapon it is. The bitmap starts at 0, which is probably an A Xbox button. Change that to whatever the weapon your looking for is.

When I open it,theres more then one icon,how do I know what each icon's number is?

Right, I forgot the bitmaps are scrambled about.
Best thing to do is rip the hud_msg_icons.bitmap from one of the cmt maps, but make sure to backup the original one.

Use the bitmap extractor to extract the hud_msg_icons bitmap to a tif. Then, open the tif. Everything will be in order, with the top icon being 0, and the bottom icon being length - 1.

No it won't, bitmap extractor extracts the bitmaps in the order of what you see in the bitmap, which isn't even ordered correctly, and it doesn't extract it to a single tif, it extracts each icon as a separate bitmap in the incorrect order.

And since hes using CMT weapons, there are weapons that aren't in the default icons. So he would have to rip the hud msg icons used in the cmt map.

I didn't really want to use cmt's,but oh well.

Yes it does. How do you expect me to determine the sequence for my HUD icons without this method?
