Now that we can make the client download custom IWD's is there a way to ADD more UI elements and sounds? (not replacing old ones) i know that i can use things like

 

self playsound "mp_whatever"

 

but they are sounds already in the game, it would be nice if i could add more 8-) , thanks

Pretty sure you can make your own and just make people download them.

*bumpybump* i tried it some time ago but never got it to work.

i would love to see this working

bump, i found a mod for COD4 that does it! if i can work out how it works i might be able to use it on MW2!

 

for interests sake ill upload the mod here (IWD's cant be uploaded? really? :?: )

Use rar files maybr >_>!

oh sounds like you never read what this is about here...

please post moar links to toolbox's thread

it's in my sig and add more sounds? impossibru?

actually no, it worked in cod 4 and i saw a mod for mw2 which added customsounds and even the juggernaut-screen from mw3. it's definitely possible, we just don't know how ._.

that's why we bump it this hard.

Bumpitybumpbump, I'd love to know as well, as I couldn't get it to work either. :?

It's not possible to add "new" sounds, however, it's possible to replace the already existing sounds and make the clients download them. NTA made custom .IWI loading (for example, the prestige 11 icon), but custom mod .iwi loading isn't implemented yet.

 

The reason why it worked in CoD4 was because it had mod tools. Mw2 does not.

WHEN? PLEASE WHEN.

So you could use a "new" sound for a mod, but name it like one of the pre-exsisting ones?

In CoD4 you had to define a new soundalias, for custom sounds.

We need the soundaliases table to make this possible, so NTA if you read this, please give it to us.

check out the mw2_rotu mod there are custom sounds in.

Yes, but it replaces sounds, not adding new ones.

Just add "custom_" as a prefix to the image name and it will load.... Ingame you probably still have to precache it tho.
