It matters because it works in WON, and works when developer 1 is enabled in Steam. TFC also apparently has lost its death messages in Steam.
That doesn't help at all Omega, and printnotify does work just great. I see absolutely no reason why Valve felt like disabling it just for the hell of it if Developer 1 isn't set. It was also never documented publicly as being "removed" -- that is frustrating in itself. -Sniper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony "omega" Sergi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Deathmessages stopped working in Steam > why does it matter? just make up your own drawing thing that works better. > thats what i ended up doing, provides a much better effect anyway, print > notify never worked properly anyway. > > -omega > -- > Blackened Interactive - http://www.blackened-interactive.com > FLF:Defiance - http://www.frontline2.com > Wavelength - http://www.thewavelength.net > > > > Sniper wrote: > > >Can I ask why it was removed?
