Re: [hlcoders] Deathmessages stopped working in Steam

[Tony \"omega\" Sergi]

First off, for me; with developer 1 set, i always see _one_ entry at the
top of the screen in the notify area.
and death messages have always worked (you know, the icons that show x
killed y with whatever gun).
they don't rely on notify at all. sure the text message doesn't show up
on-screen, but why does it _need_ to show up onscreen when the icons are
there? i mean, seriously.

It matters because it works in WON, and works when developer 1 is enabled in

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.

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.

Can I ask why it was removed? It's used in several Half-Life


modifications,


it seems a bit unreasonable to remove it.

The print notify area has been removed from the HL engine. You will need
to use one of the other print areas.

Sorry, ignore the last message. I hit the wrong key. Damn it.


case HUD_PRINTNOTIFY:
psz[0] = 1;  // mark this message to go into the notify buffer
sprintf( psz+1, msg_text, sstr1, sstr2, sstr3, sstr4 );
ConsolePrint( ConvertCRtoNL( psz ) );
break;
This section of code is now useless. Unless developer 1 is
set, Steam will no longer print the message in the upper left
corner of the screen. Steam will only print the message into console.
I'm seriously annoyed. I hope this can get fixed.
