Check this video: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...ration%3Ashort

If you notice the screen effect it's wicked! It's like UTIL_ScreenFade but better, it only fades the outside.

Anybody ever come across anything like this before?

That's probably a texture overlay.

The video's not very clear, but my guess is the same as sslice's.

LDuke: I thought you were able to do texture overlays before but could only do it to everyone simultaneously?

[FlyingMongoose]

maybe do it in a workaround way where you actually throw the effect on everyone but then stop effects on all but 1 person...lol

Can't do that, it has to be all or none as far as I'm aware!

From a CSS plugin, that's true. (You used to be able to set r_screenoverlay on individual players but it is a cheat cvar now and also cl_restrict_server_commands stops it).

That video looks like it comes from the Hidden, so the mod is doing it rather than a plugin.

Yup LDuke got it in one, but cheat cvars aren't a problem I already execute the fov command on clients.

But this cl_restrict_server_command business, what's the deal with that now? I thought they had come to a conclusion which meant we could actually use commands no?

This script from Mc.Fly using mattie eventscripts is able to use a texture overlay in this script without any cheat or cl_restrict_server_command problems so it must be possible:

Just have to figure out how mattie did it.

No, they added an interface that allows you to read cvar values. You still can't execute any commands, unless they are marked with the FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE flag on the client side. I don't know of any commands that are marked that way, but there might be one or two.
