Have you ever wanted to change that annoying little penguin from this:
to say something like this?
Its very easy and requires very little effort if you know where to look and what you want displayed there.
First
Open the WndGuideSystem.cpp. No headers needed for this.
Find this function:
Change the code from this:
to this:
Ok. So that loads the model and the bones for the model. The model names can be found in the Model folder of your Server Files.
Now we need to change the animations otherwise you will see some pretty weird **** going on when it tries to move bones that aren't there.... Anyway. Still in the WndGuideSystem.cpp
find this function:
change the code from this:
to this:
Do not change the rest of the function as its not necessary and will break or crash the server.
Well, boys and girls, that concludes the end of the tut.....
Wait a minute.... I almost forgot.
Before you go rushing off to remake the infopang helper I should point out that you should set the scaling first. What is actually there is a small window big enough to show the model on screen. You can try and change the window size itself but I think its big enough. Anyway, still in the same file, find this line...
Change the last three floating decimals to whatever you want but no lower than 0.5f. Going too big will end up cropping the model making it look dumb. I went with the standard 1x scale. I would say no more than 3x but its up to you.
You don't need to use the model I did. It was merely an example.
Try this out. Remember to compile and let's see what you come up with.
