Hi.

I have just got into SourceMod - it's extremely impressive. I have downloaded revision 855, installed it and run the examples, and even compiled and run my own extension.

However... it can't get the PrintToConsole() function to display anything ingame. Is anyone else having this touble?

I tried devicenull's alternative method (as below), and this works fine, so I'm slightly puzzled.

Server version (Windows):
-------------------------------
Protocol version 7
Exe version 1.0.0.34 (cstrike)
Exe build: 18:49:09 Mar 7 2007 (3042)

Any ideas?
Thanks.

stock CPrint(client,String:tosend[],{Float,String,_}:...)
{
decl String:buff[512];
VFormat(buff,512,tosend,3);
decl Handle:msg;
if (client == 0) msg = StartMessageAll("SayText",0);
else msg = StartMessageOne("SayText",client,0);
BfWriteByte(msg,0);
BfWriteString(msg,buff);
BfWriteByte(msg,1);
EndMessage();
}

That isn't PrintToConsole, it's a hudmessage.
This is printtoconsole:

PrintToConsole(client, "Hello ");

And this is a correct example of a HUD message:

decl String:display_message[192];
    Format(display_message, 192, "\x01 %s", "Hello World!");
    
    decl Handle:hBf;
    hBf = StartMessageOne("SayText2", client);
    if (hBf != INVALID_HANDLE) {
     BfWriteByte(hBf, 1); 
     BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); 
     BfWriteString(hBf, display_message);
     EndMessage();
    }

fyi, printtoconsole writes to a client's console, not chat text. it wll always work regardless of the mod.

glad you like sourcemod ;)

Oops. In hindsight, I see the error of my ways. Thanks for the responses - I did actually want the HUD messaging functions, so I shall now familiarize myself to the contents of usermessages.inc, and the display_message() function provided.

Thanks,
Ben
