Sorry to bump this again, I love the tuned-up hardcore UEF campaign, though editing cinematics possible? What about adding more movies for the sake of it? Thanks an old mod repo I have required SFD tools to convert, has this ever been discussed?

Besides I'm uploading sample of a UI re-texture mod, consider as in basic refinement to standard supcom than complete update, for Uveso to look at as I messaged him for help, can someone please do that and tell me if shadowing the text I added up can be done in this case?

These are the files I've modded to suit my use:

I mean, this?

turns out like this whenever you open new dialog box

In the mean time anyone give me a proper website I can download the latest SupCom 1 retail updates in complete order? Is it good if I jump right on 1.1.3280 for most complete experience?

Hello Sir-FightMeDown,

Since you are new to modding, you may find this link usefull:
http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/Beginners_Tutorial._SC/FA_Creating_an_Upgradeable_Structure.
(Search for .SCD)

If you are mod/change the main menu or the lobby menu, then you can't do it with a mod that is located in the /mods/ folder.
Mods are only active after you start a gamesession, not in the menu before.
For changing the menu, you need to hook into the original files with your .scd file (see Tutorial link)

Maybe you want to upload your mod here, so we can take a look at it for more help.

Greetings, Uveso.

Making a mod work

2017-10-08T22:26:10+02:00

I did some amendments in SupCom's lua scripts, textures and I do have loc folder cause I changed UI font and tweaked the menu a little for my monitor aspect ratio. Damn game won't load anything once I pack them files into scd and copy that to gamedata. Mind you I am tweaking SupCom the first.

This is how I do the folder structure:

mods\SupFix\
where there are loc, lua and textures folders next to mod_info.lua filled with my details.

If I go to Mod Manager it lists the mod but without the name I have inserted in mod_info.lua. Instead it says (No description). It does nothing when I activate it?

Am I missing something?
