using texures,sounds etc in default properties

[Rakiayn]

why can I only use sounds and textures in the default properties of my classes when they are from botpack, unrealshare or unreali?
if I set the default ambientsound of my actor to a sound of an other pack, lets say ambmodern. the sound will not be added when I compile my mod

Add this in your class (TOP, below class definition)
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=AmbModern.uax
You may need to correct the path/filename

thnx!

You don't need to add that for any of the standard UT packages, and in fact you don't need to do that for anything so long as you include the package on the server/installation you are using the mod on.

Most likely you have messed up your UT.ini file and removed the correct editpackages list. Here is mine, see if yours matches it:

If you call something from outside the mod you simply add an EditPackages line for it before you compile. Bam, done. If you have an example, post it and I'll show you where your error is. I'd veer away from obj load unless you have no other choice.

The list seems to be complete.
the sound I want to use is from the package ambancient. this is an UAX file.
using sounds from unrealshare or unreali causes no problems because the sound are placed withing the .u File.
but this is not the case with a sound from ambancient
