Well i have a question about displaying a custom deathmsg.

PHP Code:

message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST, get_user_msgid("DeathMsg"))
write_byte(Attacker)
write_byte(Victim)
write_byte(0)
write_string("TruncatedWeaponName")
message_end() 


What can i use as TruncatedWeaponName? Is there some list? Can i use my own sprites?
From what i understood it is about classnames, but i don't really understood how to use this parameter properly.

from https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Half-lif...vents#DeathMsg:

Note: KillerID may not always be a Player ID. It would be 0 if a player died from fall/acid/radiation/fire/etc damage/lack of oxygen or from touch to a "trigger_hurt" entity, in which cases TruncatedWeaponName will be "worldspawn" and "trigger_hurt" respectively. Note: For vehicle kills, TruncatedWeaponName could be "vehicle", "tank", etc. Note: TruncatedWeaponName doesn't contain a "weapon_" prefix. See CS Weapons Information for more information. Note: For a grenade kill, TruncatedWeaponName isn't "hegrenade", but rather "grenade", which is the actual classname of a thrown grenade.

as far as i know custom sprites cannot be used in deathmessages

I already read that, my question was:
"What can i use as TruncatedWeaponName? Is there some list? Can i use my own sprites?"

Edit:
Only saw now your edit, well i thought that too about using own sprites but could be possible so wouldn't hurt to ask
Still, is there some list where i can see all the TruncatedWeaponName available to be used?

[Bugsy]

Why don't you just try custom names to see if it works?

I guess "TruncatedWeaponName" is all the "d_" sprite in hud.txt, to show it you must remove the d_ prefix.

Just remove "weapon_" from weapon name, it should be enough.

[Arkshine]

Kz1.0 is right, client will format a string like "d_ + string passed in message".

If there was a way to edit easily hud.txt, you could for sure use your own sprites.

[aron9forever]

you can't use custom sprites but you can do some cool stuff with the existing ones
the list is the one posted by kz1.0 , without d_ in front of them

check this sexy plugin out for reference , it shows the train when someone is killed by a vehicle (instead of skull) https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=916987
