hello :

is there a way to configure the tank hud in the HUD_TICKER slot
there are players who put names too long and the HP of the tank does not appear more than just part of the name.

and they could do so that in the text part you can put signs like a star.

example : ★Servers★

Thanks in advance

No, as already covered in the main post, the plugin only allows to setup the first 4 HUD slots. (because of how it was done and SM limitations).

HUD_TICKER seem to be 7th.

BHaType shared a possible solution but I don't intend to try right now cause I'm not having free time.

If the text is truncating means that you need to change the position of the hud with a lower value in the x cvar:

default:

PHP Code:

l4d2_scripted_hud_hud2_x "0.75" 


try:

PHP Code:

l4d2_scripted_hud_hud2_x "0.50"

Is it possible to display different HUD text for different clients?

No, you only can set it by team through a cvar.

Example below:

PHP Code:

// Which team should see the text.
// 0 = ALL, 1 = SURVIVOR, 2 = INFECTED.
// -
// Default: "0"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "2.000000"
l4d2_scripted_hud_hud1_team "0"

Are you sure that this plugin is causing that? Tank has a bunch of issues which can create higher ping regardless of plugins.

Good job Marttt! Thanks for sharing.

As Silvers said, can be other Tank related plugins.

I recommend always removing the plugin and check if the ping issue has gone.

I remember someone having a similar issue but when I went deeper it was more related to the super tanks plugin. (used produce high pings even without my plugin)

Still, if you are using the latest version, you can change the timer cvar (l4d2_scripted_hud_update_interval 0.1) to a higher value and check if it improves the ping.

Btw, the Tank info in the HUD is as-is and not much can be done to improve in the way it was done.

So I tried adding a way to not show the names of muted players from the Speaking List using basecomm.inc.
I have a 5+ player coop server and the problem is if there is a muted player in game, some unmuted player names will not show either but you can still hear them.

Line 1415

PHP Code:

void GetHUD4_Text(char[] output, int size)
{
    FormatEx(output, size, "\0");

    for (int client = 1; client <= MaxClients; client++)
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(client))
            continue;

        if (IsFakeClient(client))
            continue;

        if (!IsClientSpeaking(client))
            continue;

        if (BaseComm_IsClientMuted(client)) //this client has been MUTED
            return;

        if (output[0] == 0)
            FormatEx(output, size, "Players Speaking:\n %N", client);
        else
            Format(output, size, "%s\n %N", output, client);
    }
}

Try changing the "return;" line to "continue;"

Adding "return" like you did will stop the following loops.
