hudmessage to long?
hey,
I made a lil infohelp Hudmenu that appears when players enter the server to see what client commands they all can use but i think its to long.
method 1
Just an idea but could it work if I work with format? every line in a new format then that format i put in show_hudmessage(id, "%s^n%s^n%s.... , format1, format2, format3)
method 2
And finally after tons of try's and testing I got it working. Its not 100% efficient but it does the job
method 3

Why not print it in the console ? I find HUD messages verry eye iritating to read when in huge amounts and they're verry unreliable, they get reset when player respawns and stuff like that... you also can't make them go away with a simple key press like you can do with the console and you can't review it without retyping the command... so just use the console :P
Also, nobody cares about admin commands if they're not admin, so check if player is admin when you want to print admin specific commands. |

thats right but the hud message only stays for 20 seconds, if they want to read thats at least the minimum time they willneed to read it entirely, they can always type help again to bring it up when they need it unlike displaying it in console. for the admin part you are most certainly right, I might change that but then users dont know what the main important commands are for that server when they buy an admin offer. its just a lil advertising :p |
Re: hudmessage to long?
How about the plugin tells them to look in the console when they join ? :) If they care about the commands, they'll look.
And why 'unlike console' for reprinting ? That logic is flawed. But I see, that server is just a buisness, that's why you shove a 20 second huge message down their.. screen :) You seem to've solved the problem in the title so anyway. |
Re: hudmessage to long?
hehe lol not really I do this for fun, its my hobby but with a bill of in the 350€ every 6 months it's always welcome that players donate some money or that I can at least recover a small part of that money.
alot of ppl ask me to give them admin, so i say to them if you want admin you can buy it. when they buy it then I can have a lot more thrust (or however you say it) in that person that he will not abuse that admin and drift away new players. you gotta tell me: isnt it better that when you join a server that you know what the server has, so that you can play with everything the server has to offer? I admit some players prefer finding that stuff on their own but lately not many players still play cs so for new starting clans it's pretty lonely once and a while on the servers :p Yep fixed it, works but on the hns server with jumpstats it is everything but efficient since the hudmessage goes away whenever you jump :). but its good enough for me :) |

Re: hudmessage to long?
Thats an interesting theory, I'l keep that in mind :).
maybe i'm only gonna give admin to ppl I know and are not corrupt as you say. I once gave admin 4 free to a some1 I knew and he destroyed my entire forum and tryed to mess up my servers wich off course he couldnt. it took me a while to clean up his mess. the hudmessage is not in the middle of the screen its centered to the right as much as possible. I was also thinking of making it into a modt so that I can explain more how to use some commands and stuff, off course a motd has its downsides to. I'l see how it goes with the hudmessage. |
