Hey gang, I'm using a knife in place of my spade, just re-named it with the spade name. How do I change the sprite icon that shows up next to a name when you kill someone, to the knife icon. Not sure which file this is and if it can be changed. Anyone?

its weapons3 sprite i think. DL spriteWizard.

BTW what knife are you using. I want a knife too, I want the SA/SS style dagger like the sniper had in 3.1

Looked at weapons3 Sprite, looks like they grouped them together, I don't think there is a way to change just the spade icon alone? How do you do this? Geno, right now, I'm using a Hitler youth knife model.

Yes, they are all grouped together. You just change the spade though. I think ill give it a try

OK, I did, but it looks crappy and its all messed up and i cant/dont feel like fixing it. Maybe someone eles will make it. Sorry

Geno, I just wanted the knife icon to appear in-game, rather then the shovel. Is there a way to do this without creating another bmp file?

no, they put all the axis weapons in one sprite file. Just leave the other ones alone and edit the spade

Doesn't this have to do with the hud.txt too? The hud.txt basically tells what sprite is assigned to what weapon, so why dont you just assign the knife sprite to the spade?

You just need to replace the part of the bmp where the knife is with the spade. And then turn it into a aprite file and all that hooplah and you're set.

That's sounds great, but I have no idea how to do that. I've worked with HLMV plenty of times, but Sprites are another thing.

Nevermind, I downloaded a spade replacement knife from Pokemart site, and the zip file comes with already modified Weapons 3 file, so now the knife icon shows up. Thanks Pokemart!
