Valve made some huge updates to CS:GO on September 15. I was wondering if anyone knows about added HUD functionality. CS:GO has vote menus and hint texts (the thing with the ! on the left) but as far as I can figure it looks like it has no support for anything else, or any way to hack anything else onto the screen.

For example, CS:S used to have multicoloured text that could be rendered in the top left corner of the screen, or you could create a HUD element on the right middle of the screen.

Does anyone know of any way to get extra areas with text in CS:GO excluding the menu and hints? Or maybe a way to make the hints smaller and not have the big stupid ! in front of them?

I don't think this is possible with csgo, from what I know you can hook into the menus but nothing actually displays on them.

I tried doing some weird stuff with this once but it just ended up screwing with like the placement of the money and then it spammed weapon symbols in weird places. It's like there's something there but I can't get into it properly.

I was trying this sort of stuff:

new Handle:pb = StartMessageOne("HintText", client);

PbSetString(pb, "hints", tmptext);

Perhaps they only use predefined strings like #Money or #Ak47
So there is no way to print text there.

We can be lucky that we have hints and alerts.

One thing I thought is, you could create a death event and change some players name after fireing you could change it back to his name.
When you think about doing this pls sent me a snippet

You can override the get translation function using dhooks

You can also attach sprites to a player's screen. Using the viewmodel and only transmitting it to that player.

I don't understand; what would this let me do?

I've read you mentioning this before, but I never was able to do it myself.
Any sample code and screenshot of the result?

Here's what i have, it was from 2013 however so i dont have any screen shots.

if(IsValidEntity(playerViewModel[client])) {
		new Prop = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic_override");
		if(Prop > 0 && IsValidEntity(Prop))
		{
			PrecacheModel("models/weapons/w_eq_flashbang_thrown.mdl");
			DispatchKeyValue(Prop, "model", "models/weapons/w_eq_flashbang_thrown.mdl");
			DispatchKeyValue(Prop, "disablereceiveshadows", "1");
			DispatchKeyValue(Prop, "disableshadows", "1");
			DispatchKeyValue(Prop, "solid", "0");
			DispatchSpawn(Prop);
			SetEntPropEnt(Prop, Prop_Send, "m_hOwnerEntity", client);
			SetVariantString("!activator");
			AcceptEntityInput(Prop, "SetParent", playerViewModel[client], Prop, 0);
			AcceptEntityInput(Prop, "DisableShadow");
			
			TeleportEntity(Prop, Float:{50.0, 37.0, 30.0}, Float:{270.0, 100.0, 0.0}, NULL_VECTOR);
			entBatt[client] = EntIndexToEntRef(Prop);
		}
	}

	new ent = -1;
	new Owner = -1;
	while((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "predicted_viewmodel"))!=-1) {
		Owner = GetEntPropEnt(ent, Prop_Send, "m_hOwner");
		if ((Owner > 0) && (Owner <= MaxClients))
		{
			if (GetEntProp(ent, Prop_Send, "m_nViewModelIndex") == 0)
			{
				playerViewModel[Owner] = EntIndexToEntRef(ent);
			}
		}
	}
