My goal is to enable zombies intro cinematics in Co-op mode (Five and CotD). To do this, I need to modify a .menu file that controls the cinematic behavior.
I edited the file briefing.menu from the ui folder and placed it in t5/raw/ui. I then created a mod.txt and wrote its contents as:
{
loadMenu { "ui/briefing.menu" }
}
Once in-game, I set sv_cheats and ui_loadRawMenus to 1.
After all this, I still can't get the script to load. I've had many helpful contributors help me out on Discord, but so far, nothing has worked.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.: I've pasted the briefing.menu file below for additional context.
