Replicating the binoculars bug?

[serthy]

I'v already tried making a player.hud element and set foreground to true hoping it would simply cover the bot's name, no luck.

you also set the hud.sort to its proper value? (i dont know this value tho..) i also tried to change this but without much script work etc it seems impossible, for me its not worth the amount of work to be done.

EDIT:

yeah, but how did you hide then the standard 'Killed by' and 'You killed'?

Not 100% sure what this does yet but i'll fiddle with it.

Yeah and thats what they said about having custom bot names. I just hope there is a solution that doesn't require me making it too unrealistic.

I'm not using the game's obituary at all, so it doesn't send out information like "Killed by" or the "Player 1 [Headshot Icon] Player 2" you see in the killfeed. I made my own obituary from scratch.

Remove

obituary(self, attacker, sWeapon, sMeansOfDeath);

from Callback_PlayerKilled

and you will notice it disables a few things.

If you want to specifically disable the "You killed" & "Killed by" messages and keep the killfeed/obituary working let me know, there is another way to disable it.

I just tried hud.sort nothing changes whether its set to 0, 1, or 100.

Here is what it looks like;


I could try forcing the spectator to have a menu open which would hide all 2d objects and I could use the menu to display the scores, player name etc.

However the killfeed/rank info/"Killed by" & "You killed" would be hidden.

Best solution thus far but still hoping I can find a better one.

also tried negative values?
i know that its possible to draw a hud over the menu ones, however menus huds (hud.menu) is still behind them you want to override

There is a workaround, would like to explain this in xf and link the talk in here, intrested?

Just did, makes the hud disappear completely.

Yeah I just tried using hud.menu, you are correct.

I know a possible workaround for this using the quickmenu, but doesn't work while spectating.
