Shield / Health Icons on Server - -maniac|Su- - 12-29-2013
hi peepZ
one question:
Is it possible to use the old nexuiz icons from server side for Shield / Health like this:
![[Image: health10.jpg]](http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/13/61/00/14/health10.jpg)

I like the old style - but have no clue how to implement on server ...

You mean you want to replace the health and armor item models on your servers? What do your players think about it?
You'll have to create a custom pk3 with those models and serve it as a serverpackage. I don't know if you'll run into model format issues, but that's a possibility.

I don't know, somewhere in the "models" directory.
RE: Shield / Health Icons on Server - -maniac|Su- - 12-30-2013
Now I.ve it to this:
![[Image: health11.jpg]](http://i57.servimg.com/u/f57/13/61/00/14/health11.jpg)
The model I.ve found in data/models/items -> g_h100.md3
But I miss the lucency textures ... where can I find them?

-maniac SU- do you mind explaining the steps you took to put the model in and fix the issue you had? I'm curious to know how to do it. Thanks!

Okidoki - here.s a little howto to replace the icons (or like Mr. Bougo would say: mess up the server
)1. Create a items.pk3 file with model and textures you want replace.
In fact this was the most difficult part with the most trouble.
I.ve to find the model (.md3) and the textures (.tga) files which replace the standard icons. The files I found in the old nexuiz data files: data/models/items data/textures
2. Copy the items.pk3 file in the server folder /.xonotic/data
3. Edit serverconfig
sv_curl_serverpackages "items.pk3 items.txt"
4. Place the items.pk3 file on your mapserver too
sv_curl_defaulturl http:your_mapserver_adress
5. (Re)Start your xonotic server
When everything works well the new items will be downloaded from client automatically when client connect to server.
okay okay - not everybody like the old nexuiz megahealth icon - but it makes the server unique (for me: I like the old icon much more than the new healthpack icon)
Have fun
