Does any one here know where the font file for the suicide death notice is? In case you do not know which one, I mean this one I want to change it to the kamikaze from Q3.

Thanks.

just to clear things up:
this won't mess up our HUD font, right? It's a different file, correct?

I know how to make suicide icon as font.
Open source engine.gcf in GCFScape, hl2/scripts/hud_textures.txt, find this:

Code: Select all

		"d_skull"
		{
				"file"		"sprites/640hud1"
				"x"			"192"
				"y"			"224"
				"width"		"32"
				"height"	"16"
		}

And change it to:

Code: Select all

		"d_skull"
		{
				"font"		"HL2MPTypeDeath"
				"character"	"P"
//				"file"		"sprites/640hud1"
//				"x"			"192"
//				"y"			"224"
//				"width"		"32"
//				"height"	"16"
		}

Save this file as /steamapps/account name/half-life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/scripts/hud_textures.txt and make this file "read only".
Then open hl2mp.ttf and create character "P" (you can use any free character), it will be your suicide icon.
Save your hl2mp.ttf, file must be "read only", because if it's not "read only", it will be replaced with original, from .gcf .
Hope it helps and sorry for my english.

EDIT:

Doesn't interfere with your crosshairs or custom HUD.
