[COD2] Random string hud

[voron00]

Alright, if you use libcod you can use use new makelocalizedstring function:

		// Find free localized string index
index = findFreeConfigStringIndex(1310, 256);

// Set configstring
setConfigString(index, level.mapcandidate[0]["mapname"]);

// Your Hud Stuff
level.votemap0 setText(makeLocalizedString(level.mapcandidate[0]["mapname"]));

findFreeConfigStringIndex(start, end)
{
    for (i = start + 1; i < start + end; i++)
    {
        configstring = getConfigString(i);
        if (!isDefined(configstring))
            return i;
    }

    return undefined;
} 
	

Just tested it, works quite nicely.

Or you can use the old fashioned way and replace strings on a client (iznogod's settext wrapper)
