Same problem...
Font color etc not working.

Is this a sourcemod issue or cs:Go removed it?

This was discussed at length in the SM discord, but I'll write it out here for posterity.

The HTML feature in hint text was removed by CS:GO itself, this isn't a SourceMod issue. However, Valve still uses the HTML feature of center text in some places so they added this hardcoded whitelist in the code that enables HTML if the text being printed matches some strings:

By looking at that code carefully you'll find this specific check:

PHP Code:


			
StringAfterPrefix(str, "#SFUI_Notice_NewWaveBegun_")

This check enables HTML if the center text starts with "#SFUI_Notice_NewWaveBegun_", so you can add that to the start of your printed text as a workaround to get your HUD working again (sort of):

This isn't a permanent solution. Valve will either fix the bug I mentioned above and we'll lose HTML for good, or they'll re-enable HTML in hint text again in a way that solves the initial issues that lead them to remove it.

I believe csgo removed it, yes?

Does printhinttexts have prority in draw case? I found that FixHintColorMessages.sp hold by draw time printhinttexts for SFUI_ContractKillStart param
And how max char buffer for hit message? Because I found g_sSpace[2048] in your fix, tried for formatted PrintHintText and mod clipped it :\

PHP Code:


			
if(totalDmg) {
    PrintHintText(i, buffer);
    PrintToServer("Buffer length: %d [bytes: %d] for %N", strlen(buffer), GetCharBytes(buffer), i);
}

// Buffer length: 406 [bytes: 3] for Alex Deroza

406*3 ~ 1218
So I don't fully understand why this buffer too low? :'|
