Director Hud Message
- last updated : 14 feb 2011

Ever wanted to display message like the hints messages in CS or on HLTV?
It should work on all mods. It uses basically the same params as set_hudmessage. (except for channel)
As side-note, the size is bigger than normal hud message and it can't be changed.

│ Credits
MPNumB : original idea.
xPaw : original idea.
Exolent[jNr] : put the code in a .inc.

│ Limitations
Max message length : 128 characters.
You can show only 8 messages at once.

│ Developer Notes
The tip were in hud_spectator.cpp (line 526) in the HLSDK (client).

│ Functions
The following functions mimic the style of set_hudmessage() and show_hudmessage().

Code:

set_dhudmessage( red = 0, green = 160, blue = 0, Float:x = -1.0, Float:y = 0.65, effects = 2, Float:fxtime = 6.0, Float:holdtime = 3.0, Float:fadeintime = 0.1, Float:fadeouttime = 1.5, bool:reliable = false ) show_dhudmessage( index, const message[], any:... )

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

oh i wanted yesterday to ask how to get 'hudmessage' like on HLTV, and here is the answer. Really nice Arkshine.

1. question:
Are changing color bugged? First was your color '0 ~50 0' and i changed to blue, and now i m trying to change the color to ~orange but its still previously color (blue)...

code:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <amxmodx>



public plugin_init()

{

    register_clcmd( "say /test", "ClientCommand_Test" );

}



public ClientCommand_Test( client )

{

    sendHudMessage

    ( 

        .index       = client, 

        .message     = "Welcome to our server,^nWE ARE TESTINGQWEQWRQ",//no matter

        .red         = 255,

        .green       = 120,

        .blue        = 0,

        .x           = 0.05,

        .y           = 0.2,

        .effect      = 2,

        .fxTime      = 17.0,

        .holdTime    = 15.0,

        .fadeInTime  = 0.1,

        .fadeOutTime = 3.0

    );

}



sendHudMessage( const index, const message[], const red=255, const green=120, const blue=0, 

        const Float:x, const Float:y, const effect, const Float:fxTime, 

        const Float:holdTime, const Float:fadeInTime, const Float:fadeOutTime)//also and here i changed

{

    #define pack_color(%0,%1,%2) ( %0 + ( %1 << 8 ) + ( %2 << 16 ) )

    #define write_float(%0)      ( write_byte( ( _:%0 & 0xFF ) ),       \

    write_byte( ( _:%0 >>  8 ) & 0xFF ), \

    write_byte( ( _:%0 >> 16 ) & 0xFF ), \

    write_byte( ( _:%0 >> 24 ) & 0xFF ) )

    

    message_begin( MSG_ONE, SVC_DIRECTOR, .player = index );

    {

        write_byte( strlen( message ) + 31 ); // size of write_*

        write_byte( DRC_CMD_MESSAGE );

        write_byte( effect );

        write_long( pack_color( red, green, blue ) );

        write_float( x );

        write_float( y );

        write_float( fadeInTime  );

        write_float( fadeOutTime  );

        write_float( holdTime );

        write_float( fxTime );

        write_string( message );

    }

    message_end();

}

2. question:
Is there any way to put client's current name in that message?

Thank you.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

1/ Tell me what you have done exactly, RGB value, I mean. So far I've tested color is fine. 255 120 0 work fine for me.

2/ Format the string before with the name. Don't ask more here, that's not the place.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

This is actually pretty nice, good job.

02-03-2011 17:54

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

1. Yes, red and blue are switched between. =P
fix for it is to change:

Code:

#define pack_color(%0,%1,%2) ( %0 + ( %1 << 8 ) + ( %2 << 16 ) )

to:

Code:

#define pack_color(%0,%1,%2) ( %2 + ( %1 << 8 ) + ( %0 << 16 ) )

2. Format a message before you call this function.

Ok I was pretty sure I was done such typo.

Fixed. ;)

EDIT: Forgot to update the sma too.

Very good work! Always dreamed about it.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Wow. This is so much better than regular HUD messages:

doesn't seem to have a limit of 4 channels;
bigger;
no random disappearing.

Please tell me there's a way to remove an already displayed DHUD (that's how it'll be called from now on) message.

EDIT: Tested in ESF, the messages there are displayed as normal HUD messages but with DHUD features, like more than 4 channels, etc.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Director HUDMessages style are the same as a common hudmessage? Or isn't?

Arkshine

02-03-2011 19:36

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Yes, basically. Except it doesn't use channel.

I have absolutely no idea. I don't think it's possible looking a the code, message are added each time. Will make some search though.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Oh, i'm gonna use this :D

Are the same as a HINT Message?

hleV	02-03-2011 19:40

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

If you're gonna get the DHUD message removing to work, HUD messages will be replaced permanently :D. I'd finally release my Unreal Tournament 3 Reward Announcer.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

It's possible to remove the message with 2 ugly ways :

- Resetting the hud (fullupdate) or whatever (offset?)
- Sending more than 8 blank messages. Here the declaration of the var : m_HUDMessageText[8][128];

Both are really a very poor solution. :/

PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
 write_byte( 8 * 128 + 31 );

Sorry if I'm saying bullshit.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

"!" works for me.

^n as many you want until you don't go over 128 characters.

In the case you pass the limit you can send another message :3

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

I wish this was added to amxx core, so we could still use set_hudmessage for it :D

EDIT: You forgot to add support for 0 index (all players)

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

~~Yes, I've seen that, I wanted to post asap. Will update later.~~

It's updated now. Added a new param reliableMsg also.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Which is the diff between a Reliable message, from an unreliable one?

bibu	02-04-2011 13:28

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Someone should make a new rules plugin by using these director hud messages.

Arkshine

02-04-2011 13:29

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

Already explained somewhere, but basically, if you send the message into a reliable stream, the player will receive no matter what it happens the message but if there is a problem with the current stream or this message, server will crash. If you send the message into an unreliable stream, if there is a problem, the player might not receive the message or could be dropped but server will be fine.

Re: [STOCK] Director Hud Message

PHP Code:


		
			
    #define write_float(%0)      ( write_byte( ( _:%0 & 0xFF ) ),       \

                                   write_byte( ( _:%0 >>  8 ) & 0xFF ), \

                                   write_byte( ( _:%0 >> 16 ) & 0xFF ), \

                                   write_byte( ( _:%0 >> 24 ) & 0xFF ) )

Isn`t complicated ?

PHP Code:


		
			
        write_long( _:x );

        write_long( _:y );

        write_long( _:fadeInTime  );

        write_long( _:fadeOutTime  );

        write_long( _:holdTime );

        write_long( _:fxTime );

DHUD without Alpha channel :( And only 128 characters instead of 512 in regular HUD.

For those of you who wanted it to mimic the style of [set|show]_hudmessage(), here is an include that lets you do that.

All credits go to Arkshine (and others who helped) for making the original include.
The only thing I did was change how it is used.

Functions:

Code:

set_dhudmessage(red = 0, green = 160, blue = 0, Float:x = -1.0, Float:y = 0.65, effects = 2, Float:fxtime = 6.0, Float:holdtime = 3.0, Float:fadeintime = 0.1, Float:fadeouttime = 1.5, bool:reliable = false)

show_dhudmessage(index, const message[], any:...)

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 02:45.
