HintText is in the SDK and should work on most mods unless they've changed/disabled it.

I have noticed that in DODS I need to change the first WriteByte (using UTIL_HudHintText as an example) or it prints a funny character. The comment says "// one string" for 1, but I send a space instead. So that may be another example of the encoding additions (unless I'm doing something wrong).
