I finally found what I was looking for.   http://www.contaminated.net/wavelength/coding/   the tut you want is weapons in the hud.  I could not get the entire url, but that is what you want.   It explains everything about getting your weapon to show up in the hud.   To include the code in the sdk, and the stuff in the sprites folder.   Dave   ----- Original Message ----- From: Yacketta, Ronald To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 6:27 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Weapon slots Finally! someone understands WTF I was talking about :)   Yes, you can change the code until you drop dead.. but the freaking HUD wont :( I combed the client dll and have yet to find anything related to bucket/slot info etc..   -Ron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Dave R.

The bucket is the little number you see in the hud, and each bucket corresponds to one keyboard numeral Buckets are ordered starting with 0, so pressing "slot1" on your keyboard opens bucket 0 Now, each bucket can hold 4 weapons (max), and they are also 0-based. So the first weapon in the bucket is 0, the second is 1, etc. The crowbar is in bucket 0, slot 0 The MP5 is in bucket 2, slot 0 I hope this helps! -av "Yacketta, Ronald" wrote: Could you kindly explain this a little better.. bucket? never heard of or seen that term related to weapons before-Ron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gareth Llewellyn Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 1:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Weapon slots   Each bucket and its respective slot start at 0Therefore the crowbar is:Bucket 0Slot 0 The sprites are governed by the weaponname.txt in the sprites folder.
