Using iprintln(); to display an image?

[filthy_freak_]

I'm currently working on creating my own obituary/killfeed and am having trouble figuring out how I can display the headshot image using iprintln();

Can iprintln(); be used to display anything other than strings? If so, any example?

If not, I will probably seek a different way to achieve what I need.

Cheers

No, iprintln() cannot display images - only strings. You will have to create a hud element to display images and position it where the obits are displayed.

Yeah I thought that was the case.

If you were looking to change the headshot icon in the killfeed you'd just simple add a texture for that; I believe it's hud_, also I think you meant the obituary function instead of iprintln?

Obituary( self, attacker, sWeapon, sMeansOfDeath );

if you want some extra icons, you can use MOD_CRUSH as sMeansOfDeath and change this image (its unused in CoD2).
or youcould reuse the smokegrenades icons or the binocular one.
if you want to change all, you have to do it with HUDs or menu's (would prefer menus)

As he clearly states in his opening post, he is working on his OWN obituary. He is not using the stock one.

Small update:

Managed to combine iprintln() and huds to come up with something like this;

My next problem is coming up with an easy way to calculate where the hud image X needs to be so it will place itself in the middle of each name. My only idea is to somehow manually grab the pixel length of each letter and add them up. Wondering if anyone has any other ideas?

Edit: Would be easier to do my idea if the font was mono-spaced, any way I can do this? I believe console font is mono-spaced, but only know how to use the font in menus.

console font is mono-spaced.

hud.font = "console"; iirc.
