Replacing Multiplayer Taunts?

MPowell1944 · Post by **MPowell1944** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 2:16 am

Hello everyone. I am trying to replace the MP taunts with some custom ones, and I have run into a problem that has puzzled me. I have all the instamsg menus set and everything and I have edited uberdialog.scr and all the sounds, but everytime I press the corresponding taunt, nothing happens. What I need to know is how I would map the instamsg menus to my new taunts. Any help is much appreciated. Thnx.

Stupid question here:

What are taunts?

I guess "I have seen french school girls shoot better" are one! Do you get it??

Oh ok, and "Go and run you yellow bellies!"

You cannot 'map the instamsg menus to new taunts' as these 'menus' are not menus but just images.

You can only replace original taunts by modifying the uberdialog.scr file (client side).

Hi,

I also tried to replace the taunts with custom mp3 or wav files and I had also tried to modify the script, but it seems that unless the other players have the .wav and .mp3 files in their mohaa directories, they will not hear anything or may hear some other taunt .wav file that is already in their sound directory which was included with the game.

if you do get it to work, please let me know.

thanks

Sorry I haven't posted an update on this. After I made this post, I got it fully working. Got all the SH taunts in AA, including the Russian and Brit taunts with skins to match. I'll post the file soon.

I couldn't find where the actual text comes form that gets displayed on screen when you fire off a taunt in spearhead.

For AA it was in the localisation file, but it isn't for spearhead. Only place I've found it is in the game dll itself.

is mpowell's file available for download anywhere?

It doesn't look to me that the opposite can be done, though.... Sh apparently does taunts differently...
