Hi,

my question :

is there any chance to get your messages in the upper left (hud) corner not only in the chat ?
and can there be a variable for color in the future ?

I'll get this going in a few releases. There might be another plugin supports this easily via a console command.

and can there be a variable for color in the future ?

I'll look into it, but haven't found an easy way to handle this since, from what I've seen, color is handled on the client side for the types of messages I'm sending.

Thanks for the good suggestions,

Mattie, Great stuff!
Huge possibilities.

Can the events be logged to a log file of your choice?
And if not, could you add this on a near future release?

Keep 'em coming.

Well, events aren't automatically logged, but they can be if you place an "es_log" command in every event's .cfg file.

I imagine that's a pain, so I'll consider adding a command that automatically logs events and their information to a log file. Such a file would be gigantic in no time, though.

* es_log <text/variable message> Logs a message to the server log. EventScripts will expand any variables it finds. (Equivalent to running "es es_xmsg MyMessage".) * es_xlog <text-only message> Logs a message to the server log. No variables are expanded as it is assumed everything is already perfect.

player_death.cfg

ES 0.5.5
if (event_var(headshot) equalto 0) then es_log <event_var(username)><event_var(userid)> killed <event_var(es_attackername)><event_var(attacker)> with the event_var(weapon)
if (event_var(headshot) equalto 1) then es_log <event_var(username)><event_var(userid)> killed <event_var(es_attackername)><event_var(attacker)> with an headshot from the event_var(weapon)

I' m not sure if <> will works if not just use this :

ES 0.5.5
if (event_var(headshot) equalto 0) then es_log event_var(username) event_var(userid) killed event_var(es_attackername) event_var(attacker) with the event_var(weapon)
if (event_var(headshot) equalto 1) then es_log event_var(username) event_var(userid) killed event_var(es_attackername) event_var(attacker) with an headshot from the event_var(weapon)
