how do i have to do the bitmaps if i want to make a numeric bitmap that works for an assault rifle?

Original message by: UnevenElefant5
For the ammo counter, here is what you do:
Make 2 planes where you want the ammo counter
find and extract this bitmap with one of the bitmap extractors on this site:
tags\weapons\assault rifle\fp\bitmaps\numbers_plate
Make 2 new materials. One names numbers0 and another named numbers1
apply numbers1 to the tens place (ex, the 6 in 60) and numbers 0 to the one's place(the 0 in 60)
I'm about 80% sure that's how it is. If it doesn't work, like the numbers count wrong ingame, flip the placement.
then modifier list -> UVW map
Go to planar, fiddle with the alignment, sorta towards the bottom, so that it lines up with your plane (your plane should be placed straight up and down)
Now you can move the planes into position on the gun model, and attach them to the rest of the gun. Re-export like normal and you should be ready to go.

that its cool but what i want to know its how to make the bitmap for the numeric counter on the rifle no how to make the counter just how to make the bitmap
please someone could explain me how?

yes exactly!! i need to make the halo reach numbers for a assault rifle who will help us? or who knows about that

who knows how to make the ammo counter numbers i really need them please help

Xfire me and I'll help. You have to create something called sprites, there are many tutorials, and basically any tutorial involving sprites and/or HUD's work, even if its not about the numbers. It still works the same way.
