I was trying to make a l4d2 killfeed.
In below code is a minimal code that should display "test" on the top right of the screen.
When i test it with the tumtara map, the "test" is displayed.
When i test it with a normal campaign map like c1m1, no text "test" is displayed.
Is there anything wrong with my below implementation or is there any specific thing i need to watch out when working with vscript?
Thanks.

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required
