I've been fooling around with my config/hud recently and I saw that you can now replace the weapon in r_tracker frags (ie. lithium RL plaz) with images. I did a quick search on the forum and found a post but the links contained within seemed to be dead. So, does anyone have any tracker images? Also, if you do if you have the fragfile set up for it too it would be helpful to post that as well.

qqshka: it'd be nice if those were uploaded in ezQuake repository and also some basic documentation would be nice...

ok you need to edit fragfile.dat in the ezquake folder. About halfway down the file, there is a "// WEAPON CLASSES" section. You should see some lines like
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS AXE "axe"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS SHOTGUN "shotgun" "sg"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS Q_SHOTGUN "q shotgun" "sg &c009q&r"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS SUPER_SHOTGUN "super shotgun" "ssg"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS Q_SUPER_SHOTGUN "q super shotgun" "ssg &c009q&r"
....

add backslashes around the display name for each weapon, eg:

#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS AXE "axe"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS SHOTGUN "shotgun" "\sg\"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS Q_SHOTGUN "q shotgun" "\sg\ &c009q&r"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS SUPER_SHOTGUN "super shotgun" "\ssg\"
#DEFINE WEAPON_CLASS Q_SUPER_SHOTGUN "q super shotgun" "\ssg\ &c009q&r"
...

Now instead of using text, the tracker will look for images located in ezquake\textures\tracker by the same name. eg: sg.png, ssg.png
As far as images are concerned, have a look inside ezquake's hud.pak (textures\wad) for the files called inv_shotgun, inv_sshotgun, etc. You can extract those, manipulate them (adjust saturation and brightness to taste), and save them as the appropriate tracker images.

I don't use these in my setup anymore, so I don't have any images handy. Hope that helps!

can i get a clean "x RL y" frag messages with my software ezq? i think its 1.82 or 3. and by clean i mean something that could differ the messages from each others by other means than the words itself. like colored messages.

dont mean to bring up such an old topic
but i set myself up with some tracker images and was wondering if it were possible to make the blue colored "q" that appears when you kill someone with quad, use an image too

why not, "\ssg\ \q\", should work, I think.
