unstable red saber blade appearing like a blue saber blade in menu

[swegmaster]

i need help, for some reason the custom unstable red saber blade i coded into a custom openjk dll appears as a blue saber blade in menus, fix?

[Xycaleth]

What changes to the code did you make? Can you post the code that you've changed?

[swegmaster]

okay, i'll say this: i wrote the code exactly as asgaraths tutorial said, and it worked fine in-game, but on saber customization menus, it does not show up, it shows up as the blue blade, however, since i changed the ui_saber to try to get it to work again, it still does not show up, and i get a build fail error, which causes the in-game to not load up, only the menus, and heres the code i changed in ui_saber.cpp:

 

also, its unstablered im adding

added code tags ;)

[ensiform]

Use a paste site or code tags at least 

[swegmaster]

what are code tags and paste sites? also, i know one of the members in the comments of @@Asgarath83's tutorial had the same issue as me, but managed to fix it

[Circa]

Fixed for ya

[swegmaster]

what?

oh yeah, i see what you did there

[Asgarath83]

what are code tags and paste sites? also, i know one of the members in the comments of @@Asgarath83's tutorial had the same issue as me, but managed to fix it

 

When i make the tutorial about adding new saber colors, i did it because many peoples ask for this things. specially this was for a request of of the "epic challenge mod " i add some saber color and some weapons to SP code for this mod.

i admit that my saber tutorial is specified only for SP in game stuff. i never checked how to add new saber color to the menu of saber selection.

but i think you need to create a custom menu with new saber color icons that call an ui menu command.

this command need to be coded into the code for works fine. i am pretty busy these days and i cannot check this thing.

you can check how works the ui menu's code about the default saber colors and reply this for the new color you are created. 

it's however an unkwown field of SP code, i never dive about the user interface code of SP clients.

instead, if you saber is for Multiplayer, i am sorry, but i wrote that for single player side only  >.<

[swegmaster]

i know @@Kriskopreved fixed it somehow

[swegmaster]

Fixed, i needed to modify ui_saber.cpp to have the sabercolor
