Title: Weapon Icon Error
Post by: Neel on June 09, 2013, 08:06:36 am
Hey!

Recently I Installed a GTA IV Weapon Pack.

But the Long Barrel Shotgun, came as the Combat Shotgun, and Short Barrel came as the Pushback Shotgun.

So I switched the names. Now, The Weapons Appear Properly, But the Icons don't appear!

Could someone PLEASE Help Me!?

Regards,
Neel Scotto

You'll have to change the icon file too. Well if you changed the file name of guns, the icon will ofcouse appear differently.

Switching 'names' will alter the dimensions of the weapon, you need to a TXD Editor and manually switch the model files.

download txdworkshop, open up the txd of the weapon that you want to fix the icon, select the icon, proprieties, change the name in "<nameoftheweapontxd>(example:shotgspa or mp5lng)icon" then change the alpha channel in "<nameoftheweapon>icona".
Everything without the " " and the < >  ,note the A at the end of the word "icon" in the alpha channel.
Then just put your edited txd and the ddf inside gta3.img

ok so, you downloaded this mod, there are 2 weapons if i undestood right, the combat shotgun and the regular shotgun, you want to replace the combat shotgun with the regular shotgun right? if it's right do the following
you renamed the shotgspa.txd and ddf in chromegun.txd and ddf and the chromegun.txd and ddf in shotgspa.txd and ddf
So open up chromegun.txd
select the icon, click on proprieties above, change the name into chromegunicon, change the alphachannel in chromegunicona
With the file that you renamed shotgspa.txd you change the name into shotgspaicon and the alpha channel in shotgspaicona
Got it?

I dont know then, in my opinion you are doing something wrong.
Tell me step by step what have you done please.
Title: Re: Weapon Icon Error
Post by: Neel on June 14, 2013, 04:15:44 pm
Okay.

I Just looked at the Origninal Files. The Icon etc is correct. But IG, the Gun is wrong.

So I opened the chromegun, checked the "Compress" box (Same thing has been done for all weps, thats why) and added the name for  Aplha (Not there before). Did the same for Shotgspa. So now, gonna test it.

Have you changed both of the names? .dff and .txd? If not, there's your error.
Title: Re: Weapon Icon Error
Post by: Miller786 on June 14, 2013, 04:17:49 pm
you have to had the name to "name" too, not only the alpha.
In the name without the "a" at the end.
In the alpha with the "a" at the end.

Post by: Neel on June 14, 2013, 04:19:34 pm
I had done that. But Now Everything is wrong.

Shotgun (Gun and Icon) Appear as Combat Shotgun.

You never know. First time I've modded a gun, I mixed evereything up and the only problem was the names. Instead of changing both of the names, I changed only the .dff ones and got it all bugged.
It could've happened to him as well, who knows?

I Tried All Of That! I Even Checked Youtube! But it never worked. The Icon Never Appeared.

By the Modder of this pack said that Shotgun Was chnaged as Combat Shotgun, and Combat Shotgun to Normal Shotgun!

Find another weaponmod. The mod itself can bug out icons, had the same issue before. And you'll find plenty of good videos/instructions on the web, that's how I learned.
Title: Re: Weapon Icon Error
Post by: Neel on June 14, 2013, 05:08:40 pm
Okay. I downloaded a GTA IV Icon Pack.

So How do i Install the Icons??
Title: Re: Weapon Icon Error
Post by: AK47 on June 14, 2013, 05:47:12 pm
Download and install the weaponmods. Download and open TXD Workshop, press "open IMG" and locate your GTA3. Then find the .txd of the weapon, "desert_eagle.txd" for example, then import a downloaded weaponicon and import it to the icon that is "within" the gunmod, you'll see on the TXD Workshop. Save and you are done.
