^^ that's what I guessed.
Keyhinttext still is a pretty new feature (in Valve time), this custom hudlayout.res most likely does not have Keyhinttext configured. You can, if you want check the difference with a programm like WinMerge, and fix it yourself

The original hudlayout.res can be extracted with GCFScape.

wow nice guess berni. :-P also missed post #176 :-)

Yes, thanks for pointing that out.

I love that keyhinttext thing - I use it on all of my plugins now

Strange though b/c that is what I use and I can see hints let me attach what I am using. (which I use only to fix the location of the chat messages on the left side, I do not know what settings your trying)

Here is what I have used for years since valve broke the location of in game chat messages: http://www.gamebanana.com/guis/18737

I found a small bug in Client_PrintToConsole() function. Color tags is not removed. Fixed:

Code:

/**
 * Prints a relieable message to the client's console.
 * Allows up to 254 Characters (including \0) to be print (253 for talk).
 * Supports chat color tags (see: colors.inc, only available in Left 4 Dead (2) or higher).
 * Chat colors are stripped automatically if not supported.
 *
 * @param clients		Client Array.
 * @param format		Formatting rules.
 * @param ...			Variable number of format parameters.
 * @noreturn
 */
stock Client_PrintToConsole(client, const String:format[], any:...)
{
	decl String:buffer[512];
	
	SetGlobalTransTarget(client);
	VFormat(buffer, sizeof(buffer), format, 3);

	Client_Print(client, ClientHudPrint_Console, buffer);
}

/**
 * Prints a relieable message to the client's console.
 * Allows up to 254 Characters (including \0) to be print.
 * Supports chat color tags in chat & console (see: colors.inc).
 * Chat colors are stripped automatically if not supported in the destination.
 *
 * @param clients		Client Array.
 * @param destination	Destination place (use onf of the ClientHudPrint_)
 * @param format		Formatting rules.
 * @param ...			Variable number of format parameters.
 * @noreturn
 */
stock Client_Print(client, ClientHudPrint:destination, const String:format[], any:...)
{
	decl String:buffer[512], String:buffer2[254];

	SetGlobalTransTarget(client);
	VFormat(buffer, sizeof(buffer), format, 4);

	new subject = Color_ParseChatText(buffer, buffer2, sizeof(buffer2));

	if (destination == ClientHudPrint_Talk) {
		Client_PrintToChatRaw(client, buffer2, subject, false);
		return;
	}

	if (client == 0 ||
		(destination != ClientHudPrint_Console) ||
		(destination == ClientHudPrint_Console && GuessSDKVersion() < SOURCE_SDK_LEFT4DEAD))
	{
		Color_StripFromChatText(buffer2, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
		strcopy(buffer2, sizeof(buffer2), buffer);

		if (client == 0) {
			PrintToServer(buffer);
			return;
		}
	}

	new Handle:userMessage = INVALID_HANDLE;
	userMessage = StartMessageOne("TextMsg", client, USERMSG_RELIABLE);

	BfWriteByte(userMessage		, _:ClientHudPrint_Console);
	BfWriteString(userMessage	, buffer2);

	EndMessage();
