How i can change headicons?
Bigger rank=other icon and when you press tab there show icons.
Regards.

Making it short.

player.statusicon = rankicon; //this makes the rankicon show up in the scoreboard
player.headicon = rankicon; //changes the headicon

That's how you do it.

In maps/mp/gametypes/sd.gsc you can find an example:

		
Callback_StartGameType()
{
    level.splitscreen = isSplitScreen();

    // if this is a fresh map start, set nationalities based on cvars, otherwise leave game variable nationalities as set in the level script
    if(!isdefined(game["gamestarted"]))
    {
        // defaults if not defined in level script
        if(!isdefined(game["allies"]))
            game["allies"] = "american";
        if(!isdefined(game["axis"]))
            game["axis"] = "german";
        if(!isdefined(game["attackers"]))
            game["attackers"] = "allies";
        if(!isdefined(game["defenders"]))
            game["defenders"] = "axis";

        // server cvar overrides
        if(getCvar("scr_allies") != "")
            game["allies"] = getCvar("scr_allies");
        if(getCvar("scr_axis") != "")
            game["axis"] = getCvar("scr_axis");

        precacheStatusIcon("hud_status_dead");
        precacheStatusIcon("hud_status_connecting"); 
	

Setting an icon is:

		Callback_PlayerKilled(eInflictor, attacker, iDamage, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vDir, sHitLoc, psOffsetTime, deathAnimDuration)
{
    self endon("spawned");
    self notify("killed_player");

    if(self.sessionteam == "spectator")
        return;

    // If the player was killed by a head shot, let players know it was a head shot kill
    if(sHitLoc == "head" && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE")
        sMeansOfDeath = "MOD_HEAD_SHOT";

    // send out an obituary message to all clients about the kill
    obituary(self, attacker, sWeapon, sMeansOfDeath);

    self maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::dropWeapon();
    self maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::dropOffhand();

    self.sessionstate = "dead";
    self.statusicon = "hud_status_dead"; 
	

Headicons, example in maps\mp\gametypes\_friendicons.gsc:

		init()
{
    // Draws a team icon over teammates
    if(getCvar("scr_drawfriend") == "")
        setCvar("scr_drawfriend", "1");
    level.drawfriend = getCvarInt("scr_drawfriend");

    switch(game["allies"])
    {
    case "american":
        game["headicon_allies"] = "headicon_american";
        precacheHeadIcon(game["headicon_allies"]); 
	

		showFriendIcon()
{
    if(level.drawfriend)
    {
        if(self.pers["team"] == "allies")
        {
            self.headicon = game["headicon_allies"];
            self.headiconteam = "allies";
        }
        else
        {
            self.headicon = game["headicon_axis"];
            self.headiconteam = "axis";
        }
    }
} 
	

So, in short:

		precacheStatusIcon("hud_status_dead");
self.statusicon = "hud_status_dead"; 
	

		precacheHeadIcon("headicon_american");
self.headicon = "headicon_american"; 
	

I don't know whats to hard on answering a straight question, no need for rage and closing.

Just put this:

On connect

		precacheHeadIcon("something");
precacheStatusIcon("something"); 
	

On spawn

		self.headicon = "something";
self.statusicon = "something"; 
	

Its very easy !

Just put this:

On connect

		precacheHeadIcon("something");
precacheStatusIcon("something"); 
	

Its very easy !

Do not put your precaches on connect, put them on gamestart.
