Using iprintln(); to display an image?

Starting to look finished;

Having trouble editing posts atm so thats why the double post.

Can you post your script? Very curious how you did this

It's nowhere near ready to be released. Once it is I might. I have much bigger plans for this.

Use my version, adapt it a bit so it spawns 3 huds instead of 1:

		doline(loc_say, time)
{
    if(!isdefined(self.vo_hud))
    {
        self.vo_hud = [];
    }
    //any reusable line?
    hud = undefined;
    for(i = 0; i < self.vo_hud.size; i++)
    {
        if(self.vo_hud[i].removetime < gettime())
        {
            //reuse this one
            hud = self.vo_hud[i];
            break;
        }
    }
    if(!isdefined(hud))
    {
        hud = newclienthudelem(self);
        hud.alignx = "left";
        hud.aligny = "top";
        hud.horzalign = "left";
        hud.vertalign = "bottom";
        hud.sort = 1000;
        hud.font = "default";
        hud.fontscale = 1;
        self.vo_hud[self.vo_hud.size] = hud;
    }
    hud.x = 125;
    hud.y = -95;
    hud.alpha = 1;
    hud settext(loc_say);
    for(i = 0; i < self.vo_hud.size; i++)
    {
        if(hud == self.vo_hud[i])
            continue;
        if(self.vo_hud[i].removetime < gettime())
            continue;
        self.vo_hud[i] moveovertime(.25);
        self.vo_hud[i].y -= 10; //line-spacing
    }
    hud.removetime = gettime() + time * 1000 + 1000; //fadeovertime in 1 second
    hud moveovertime(.25);
    hud.y -= 10;
    wait time;
    hud fadeovertime(1);
    hud.alpha = 0;
} 
	

Is an already adapted version of a rewrite of the jm_pier_2 scripts

I'v hit another roadblock.

I'm trying to completely disable the stock iprintln/obituary/killfeed so that it will not overlay the new obituary but having trouble stopping the message it prints when changing names.

I have been editing the localized string for it without much luck. If I give it a blank string, it will still display your new and old name. I can hide the old name by adding a few "/n" to the string but it will still display your new name.

I also tried hex editing the .exe file and was able to make it all disappear but other clients require the modified .exe for it to work.


Was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I'v run out of things to try and starting to think it will not be possible... is this something that libcod could fix?

Did you try to set some sort of shader over the original iprintln ? I mean a shader that would completely cover the old iPrintln and instead show your own, well it would need to be some kind fancy shader so that it doesn't distract people, but I think it would be best to just go for it and see how will it look like.

You can hook and call the original function only when not "print": void SV_SendServerCommand(/*client_t*/int *client, int bla, const char *fmt, ...)

Addresses are already in here: https://github.com/kungfooman/libcod...ter/libcod.cpp

You can just comment the obituary out in the callback_playerkilled

That won't stop showing a message if a player changes name/get kicked/timed out etc.

Any other ideas? Would prefer not to use libcod because of no experience.

I believe it's possible to stop all messages showing by force setting client dvars on players in a loop (to stop players going in and resetting the dvar back). I don't remember off hand exactly what the dvars were, but PAM (competitive) mod did it like that.

I must find the source of this sorcery!

EDIT: Yep found the command;
setClientNameMode("manual_change");
