CI problems

[Midway Sentinel]

Anyone have any idea why my CI icons for my weapons are either showing up as the default -> kill  icon or being replaced by another weapon's CI? All the scripts are correct, and the CI's are properly placed.

P.S. i have been using a bot to test the weapon CI's if that has anything to do w/ it.

How did you name the CI file?

I had the same problem.
You need to make the icons each have a "decalData" datablock so the clients will download the textures.
Be sure to set preload to true.

huh?

here ill post one of the nonworking weapon's damageType script:

Code: [Select]

AddDamageType("DMR",   '<bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_DMR/CI_DMR> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_DMR/CI_DMR> %1',0.2,1);
datablock ProjectileData(DMRProjectile)
{
   projectileShapeName = "./bullet.dts";
   directDamage        = 50;
   directDamageType    = $DamageType::DMR;
   radiusDamageType    = $DamageType::DMR;

   brickExplosionRadius = 2;
   brickExplosionImpact = true;          //destroy a brick if we hit it directly?
   brickExplosionForce  = 1;
   brickExplosionMaxVolume = 1;          //max volume of bricks that we can destroy
   brickExplosionMaxVolumeFloating = 2;  //max volume of bricks that we can destroy if they aren't connected to the ground

   impactImpulse     = 25;
   verticalImpulse  = 0;
   explosion           = gunExplosion;

   muzzleVelocity      = 200;
   velInheritFactor    = 1;

   armingDelay         = 00;
   lifetime            = 4000;
   fadeDelay           = 3500;
   bounceElasticity    = 0.5;
   bounceFriction      = 0.20;
   isBallistic         = true;
   gravityMod = 0;

   hasLight    = true;
   lightRadius = 5.0;
   lightColor  = "0.5 0.5 0";

   uiName = "M392 DMR Bullet";
};
this has happened to these weapons:

M19 SSM
M392 DMR
M6C
M6C SOCOM
M7 CSMG's

Just noticed this. I'm no script genius, but it says

Code: [Select]

bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_DMR/CI_DMR> %1',0.2,1);But the image you posted for the CI is a .png, would that maybe be the problem?

[Midway Sentinel]

all CI icons are .png because it supports transparency

[The True Zephyr]

Kay, just wondering 'cause it said bitmap, but the CI was a .png. I have no experience with custom CI, so just ignore me. forever.

This guy looks right. You need .png at the end as far as it's known

[The True Zephyr]

So I may actually be right? I've never even written a line of torque script.

[Midway Sentinel]

so it has to be:

Code: [Select]

AddDamageType("DMR",   '<bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_DMR/CI_DMR.png> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:add-ons/Weapon_DMR/CI_DMR.png> %1',0.2,1);?

[The True Zephyr]

Try it. That's the only way to tell.

[Midway Sentinel]

ok, after school today I'll make sure to try it out. thanks for the assistance, whatever the outcome.

[The True Zephyr]

Did it work?

[Midway Sentinel]

unfortunately no. it still shows the -> kill icon :(
