when i first tried to create a script file with wordpad and save it a blabla.scr WINDOWS recognised this file as a SCREEN SAVER app and from then all scr files (ubersound etc) canot opened or viewed through pakscape (.pk3 viewer). I even tried to chane the files association with folder options but there is no such file on the list (screen saver)....help please
i cant open any .scr files in winzip or pakscape either, and i get Screensaver as the file type aswell. just extract the file to main/moh maps or somethin like that, so it doesnt over-right them ingame. then you can edit, then zip it back up.
well when i try to extract ubersound.scr (for example), whichy i can view with notepad when inside WINZIP,... to my main folder it is still a screensaver app and canot opened. SO where do i really have to place my script files in order to be viewable by notepad????.Icanot edit them when view them in winzip.(only if i copy/paste them elsewhere).But where is that where or in simple words where do i have to put ALL my map files?(.pak.prt.bsp.scr etc)???.
hmm I'm using Win XP Pro - For me i went to tools (top of an open window), then folder options. Then file types - i then fournd the .scr extension and changed the association
Well ok forget that scr problem..lets assume i managed to solve that and that ubersound.scr ant stuff is work ok..then WHAT files do i have to place WHERE?.. to get my very small map work? SP or MP matters? I just ot want to make a sound file with footsteps and door sound. !!
There's a sea of difference between mp and sp maps on the part of sounds. If you're working on a mp map, you're the lucky one. It's just a matter of placing your map in a dm or obj folder within the maps folder and all basic sounds will work. If you're one of the view guys who're working on a sp map, you're still lucky but less. See the tutorial Surgeon told you to read for more details.
both .map files are in .../main/maps folder and only test_x works..Both maps are very simple..test_x a common room and tutor.map a room with a rotating door and a sky...I know the above scr file will not make door sound but at least where are the other sounds??walk and fire?..not even the gun in my hand!
If i delete all files except .scr and .map and recompile them out?
The sounds are working because of 'test' in the filename. For 'test' maps all sounds are loaded, not only those as stated in the ubersound file. So if you rename 'test_x.bsp' to 'x.bsp' it won't work anymore.
However, prefixing test to your map name is not a very good idea. It results in a longer loading time and memory abuse.
See the tutorial on how to get working sounds in an other way. It's a quite advanced tutorial though, so you may have problems understanding it. In that case, report back to me and I'll try to help you out. You may also want to use 'test' for a while and use the method as described in the tutorial later, when you know a bit more about MoHAA.
It's my first attempt at C++ programming and it's basicaly a text editor but it can open and save .scr files. It will also open .mus and .tik files.
Saves a bit of time not having to change to .txt and back again just to make a tiny change.
Unfortunatelly I have been unable to change the association on my win2000 so use the editor to open the files.
It's very basic but it works - don't forget to press 'save' and save your work before u close the app as it doesn't ask.
No instalation necessary, just double click on the MScript.exe.
