alternative chat and team bubbles

Postby The mysterious Mr. 4m » Thu Dec 20, 2007 10:11 am

some of you may know i had this idea for some time already but i couldnt come up with a proper word.
last night someone had this beautiful idea:

don't take this too serious ;)
you can put it in your "~Nexuiz/data/" folder or email it to your non-Nexuiz-playing friends and they will be like "wtf?" or open it with a text editor and print it on paper as a very special christmas present for your mom. i will do that.

I gave it to Suiseiseki who promptly popped a bonus triangle over her head, a bonus triangle over the heads of my team mates and a bonus triangle over the heads of the other team who where chatting.

put it in "~Nexuiz/data" folder.

a Ninja waypoint would be cool, but thats a bit tricky (for me). the chat and team bubbles are SPR and the waypoints are SP2.
dont expect anything soon. :oops: (except if you want that as team bubbles)

Yeah, it in my data dir, still nothing (on windows if that matters).

I'm not sure I understand what makes 'ninja' harder than 'bonus'.

I tried replacing the tga's but apparently that won't work if the spr/sp2's contain image information as how I'm reading, pixel by pixel.

Though, I can't get your pack working so technically I can't know if replacing the tga's WOULD work for sure and the spr/sp2's appear to be compiled..

Team would be fine for now :D. I kinda just think it would look cool as a screenshot.

You can exchange .spr and .sp2. The extension is ignored - if you save a .spr as .sp2 or vice versa, it will just work fine.

LordHavoc's modeltools include a tool to make sp2 files, and I made a tool to make spr files. However, waypoint sprites have to be .spr now (even if they have the extension .sp2) so they can get an additional flag that tells the engine not to scale them.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

So my problem had to do with the fact that I extracted the data pack into my nexuiz dir a while back and just never really fixed that.

I tried it on a clean build...

still not quite right :-P

Does the spr contain the image data as well?
