How to increase the number of letters allowed on a DHUD message?
In the zombie_plague_advance.txt file in the “cstrike/addons/data/lang” folder from where the ZP mod takes data to display HUD messages properly, I changed this:
Code:
NOTICE_VIRUS_FREE = T-virus has been set loose…Code:
*==================================================*T-Virus has been set loose...*==================================================*Code:
*==================================================*^nT-Virus has been released...^n*==================================================*Also, the name of the mod isn't fully displayed. The following code shows the name of the mod at the beginning of every round, in green color in the chat: Code:
// Format mod nameAs far as I know, there is a function, in the ZPA’s source code, that is responsible for the allowed number of symbols on a (D)HUD, I need to increase the function’s number, because the bigger the number is, the more symbols are allowed. However, I don’t know where to find the function. I had the same problem before, but I don't remember how to solve it. All i know is that there is a value i must increase in order for more letters to be allowed. Here is the ZPA’s source code: https://pastebin.com/Z4jBJmFs So, can someone help me by telling me the name of the function, so i can find it and modify it? Thanks. |

If there' no variable associated with the message you're sending, then you cannot change the size limit. This limit is built in the game's engine itself.
DHUD messages have a much shorter size limit. I think it's 128 as compared to 512 for HUD, but don't quote me on that. About the mod name, check the size of the g_modname variable, but I'm pretty sure this also had a hardcoded limit - 16 or 32. Not sure on the exact number but you can easily check it. |

I changed the value of g_modname from 32 to 64, and it worked. I solved the problem with the DHUD messages by reducing the number of symbols, so now all symbols are displayed. Thanks. |
