Been having trouble with this one for a while and no-one seems to have resolved it, so how do you get your mod to load and give you character selection.

Here's how....
Open the ui directory in the assets.pk3 and extract the 'saber.menu'

Down at the bottom is the line uiScript startgame delete this line and replace it with exec "exec gamestart.cfg" then re-save this edited file in your mods ui directory structure.

You then need to make a gamestart config file, use notepad to type the line 'map <Your mapname>' and save it as gamestart.cfg place this in your mod folder.

Now all you need to do is make a pk3 of your mod and place it in a folder in your gamedata directory.

This will give you the character selection choices and the first of the saber menu's. At the mo I haven't worked out how to add the dual and saber staff to this first menu but once I know I will post. (unless someone else sorts that problem)
Hope that gets a few people off the ground with their SP mods as it was definately slowing me up. :D
