Hi again. Is there any reason in specific why HudText has been intentionally removed from Counter-Strike: Source? I mean, it's in every other Source game, and it's only there to provide functionality for mod developers. However, Counter-Strike: Source has been lacking it for years. I know at least one person has changed the file, and sent it to a Valve employee. This said employee said the file (ClientScheme.res at the time) would be merged, and pushed. However, (apparently) just as it was about to go live, the file was reverted and communication was severed.
Could we please get this added? I'd like to use it on my current project for displaying who's the VIP (if the clients wish this, toggle-able of course). I could also keep who the VIP's information (Health, Armour, Ammo, etc) there for the Counter-Terrorist Team. https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=147500 is the plugin I'm talking about (if it really matters at all). I know the Zombie:Reloaded project, along with many others would love to use it in an effort to display information to clients. HintText isn't too great. CenterText is just down right intrusive for displaying information. HudHint is decent ( https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1271439 , https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1303007 ). However, without being able to move it around, or creating multiple messages with it. It's sadly not doing much for us. The limit of 254bytes per message also prevents us from displaying a decent amount of information, which is another let down. I do know this has been brought up multiple times on the list, on the Steam Forums, everywhere. No one quite understands why we're discouraged from displaying information to clients, and or to our own Server Admins. This is why I'm bringing it up again. Please allow us to use this feature which is already built into the engine. Thank you, Kyle Sanderson. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
