Movie Pack Help Needed

Post by INW »

I have downloaded multiple movie packs in an attemp to make my 2.8.2 rc2 AA game look cooler. I have downloaded the movie packs, turned the movie pack on, and it works; i have 1 problem, the words such as all the menus, start menu, server list etc. are all white lines, wheres it should show:

Game
Player Setup
System Setup

OR

Network Game
Internet Game

or enen the server list, all is just white lines, i have put 3 font files in my textures folder and such and beleive nothing is missing, can someone help me find the missing folder i must not have to make it to i can actually have text in my game.

If you do not understand this situation, jut post and i can help clarify it.

Thanx, INW

Please clarify what you installed. This is like one of my posts. It's too vague.

erm nevermind, i just redownloaded the newest verson of arma and started over, the moviepack works and everything is in the correct place, very weird what had happened at the beginning of this adventure but it ended up working out. If anyone knows the original problem, it would be nice if that was revealed or reported to support if it were a possible glitch, maybe it was just "human error"---> most likely.

Only explanation I got is that you accidentally deleted/moved/overwrote the original textures folder. It also happens sometimes if the configuration breaks (you get it if you play back a recording before having played a regular game, for example), but since reinstallation doesn't reset the configuration, that probably wasn't it.

well the font types that i had in my folder were...

Code: Select all

Font_a

Code: Select all

Font_b

Code: Select all

Font_c
i think maybe when i put the files in my textures folder, it overwrote the original textures folder, that was probably the mess up. Anyhow, it is fixed now and I'm happy :)
