Hey guys im using jopmako's hud stock (code below for reference),
and im writing this line -
SendMsg_HudMsg(RP_Client,84,-1.0,-1.0,255,255,255,0,255,255,255,0,2,10.0,10.0,3 0.0,10.0,"Test");
Nothing is appearing though

stock -
// "HudMsg" message
stock SendMsg_HudMsg(client, channel,
Float: x, Float: y,
aRclr, aGclr, aBclr, aTclr,
bRclr, bGclr, bBclr, bTclr,
effect,
Float:fadein, Float:fadeout,
Float:holdtime, Float:fxtime,
const String:szMsg[])
{
new Handle:hBf;

if (!client)
hBf = StartMessageAll("HudMsg");
else hBf = StartMessageOne("HudMsg", client);

if (hBf != INVALID_HANDLE)
{
BfWriteByte(hBf, channel); //channel
BfWriteFloat(hBf, x); // x ( -1 = center )
BfWriteFloat(hBf, y); // y ( -1 = center )

// second color
BfWriteByte(hBf, aRclr); //r1
BfWriteByte(hBf, aGclr); //g1
BfWriteByte(hBf, aBclr); //b1
BfWriteByte(hBf, aTclr); //a1 // transparent?

// init color
BfWriteByte(hBf, bRclr); //r2
BfWriteByte(hBf, bGclr); //g2
BfWriteByte(hBf, bBclr); //b2
BfWriteByte(hBf, bTclr); //a2

BfWriteByte(hBf, effect); //effect (0 is fade in/fade out; 1 is flickery credits; 2 is write out)
BfWriteFloat(hBf, fadein); //fadeinTime (message fade in time - per character in effect 2)
BfWriteFloat(hBf, fadeout); //fadeoutTime
BfWriteFloat(hBf, holdtime); //holdtime
BfWriteFloat(hBf, fxtime); //fxtime (effect type(2) used)
BfWriteString(hBf, szMsg); //Message
EndMessage();
}
}

HUD messages are disabled in official Valve games. You can re-enable them by editing one of the config files..

[DiscoBBQ]

Thanks.. Happen to know which one to re-enable?

[sslice]

The problem with that is that everyone would have to do the same.

[DiscoBBQ]

I see hud messages in mods and stuff.. Any possible way I could get it to be displayed?

[devicenull]

It's possible to enable it for yourself, but there's no way to fix it for every client that connects.

[DiscoBBQ]

But like, how would you display ingame menus and stuff.. isnt that all hud stuff? like i see hud messages from mani admin plugins and such..?

[sslice]

Those are ShowMenus.. different usermessage. There are examples on this forum, search for them.

[DiscoBBQ]

i have seen hud messages before through mani admin and other plugins, i cant recall specifics, but i have, probably the ones done through cpp.. though

No you haven't. You've seen white center print text, dialogs, or show menus.
