Custom Perk Help

[FluX]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. How do we create the custom perk icons? Are there tutorials out there? I mostly work on the coding side of things. Thanks.

What exactly do you mean? Once I figure out what you mean i'll try help you from there as I have learnt quite a bit nowadays

Thanks for the reply. If we were to make the tank perk for example, how do we replace the perk icon for it? (The icon displayed on top of a player's head, the icon to the left of the perk name in the selection menu and the icon beside the corresponding perk weapons in the shop). Let's say this custom perk icon should be displayed instead of the stock berserker icon. Thanks again.

at the bottom of the perks' uc file, where it says texture'killingfloortex.perksymbol' just change it to a pic u imported or exec import the texture into the mutator.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a particular dimension(ex: 100px x 100px) and file format (png, jpeg, gif, etc.) for the perk icon? Do I need to create a utx file using the kf sdk? Sorry for the newbie questions. Thanks.

i use 256x256 (you can only make powers of 2, eg. 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc.)

icons show up on players' hp bars. i made red and gold of each, and you specify in the perks file what icons to use.

ro_sauce is completely right though i'd prefer the importing it into KFEditor and saving a .utx file so all you have to do is point to the "file.texturename".

Your perks look really odd ro_sauce I admit. I use the medal theme (Bronze levels 0-5, Silver levels 6-10, Gold levels 11-12) on my server. Having other colours just seems to make perks weirder then how I see that red nowadays

after lvl 10 they turn blue, then green, etc. but thats from the finalblend code that marco put in.
