I have put the text table in the mod vpp file under the mods directory which is in games - redfaction - mod - swampland - swampland.vpp but still no hud coming up yet. Also, sometimes the game starts and stays in both video and desktop mode at the same time and spins like crazy... My system is 1024x768 resolution but I don't know what numbers to enter into the DXwnd program which is supposed to run red faction in windowed mode.. How do you set this up, no help file came with the program.

I think Goober's found the problem. If I remember correctly (from a post I saw earlier) your naming convention was swampland.text.tbl, right? I have no knowledge of custom HUD messages so I'll just pretend I do and say that Goober is right. My YouTube     D2k   Posted 9th Oct 2007 6:01pm L4Y Member Post 1291 / 1923 I believe custom hud messages require the level to be run with a mod.

I see no reason to ever make a SP campaign or mission without making a mod... it's just opening up so many more possibilities... for dxwnd help: [link] For anyone reading this in 2019 or later: The RF community is alive on the Community Discord [Faction Files]    Modified Oct 9th, 06:32pm by goober Enforce   Posted 9th Oct 2007 9:31pm L4Y Member Post 154 / 312 Goober, the Hud Text table is already called swampland_text.tbl and it is already packed inside the swampland.vpp file in the mods directory The message hud is still not popping up. I dumped trying to get it to work on that particular map and made a new map from scratch to test the hud message, and still getting the same result. Nothing is happening when it comes to the hud messages. It should be popping up. Will I have to reinstall? Direct-x Windowed mode is now working.
