Hey thanks Adam,
I'm assuming that's on the client yes?
I ask because I'm doing this via a CS:S Server Plugin so I don't have
access to the client code >.<
But with sv_cheats set to 1 it still doesn't work when executed from
the server which is the really weird part. I know some commands have a
new FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE flag but I thought that was just to do
with cl_restrict_server_commands being set to 1, I imagined all
commands were usable when it was set to 0...
And, when I was testing with the client I was using r_screenoverlay ""
to disable the fade, when I did r_screenoverlay instead of showing me
a blank value it told me it was disabled so I assumed that was the
correct way to disable it!
Thanks,
- Jay

Ok, try this (it will by pass cheats)
cvar->FindVar("r_screenoverlay")->SetValue("materials/vgui/hud/test/test");
I know that works with number values, as its the back
bone to primes motion blur - however, i have never
tested it with a text string before, try it, and let
me know if it works.
Dont forget to make a pure alpha texture to display at
your time out, becuase r_screenoverlay wont act very
nicely to haveing blank input
(cvar->FindVar("r_screenoverlay")->SetValue(""),
expecting it to clear the current screen overlay.

Ok let me clear this up, when I said "I can
r_screenoverlay anything I
want using the client console" I meant I can use the
command to
overlay any texture that's currently precached.
It's a custom vmt and it's located in
materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt
materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vtf, and all of the
following commands
work fine.
r_screenoverlay materials/vgui/hud/test/test
r_screenoverlay materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt
r_screenoverlay "materials/vgui/hud/test/test"
r_screenoverlay "materials/vgui/hud/test/test.vmt"
What I was saying in my original email is that this
works successfully
if I type it into the client console, but if I use
engine->ServerCommand or helpers->ServerCommand it
doesn't work. If
sv_cheats is 0 or cl_restrict_server_commands is 1 I
get an error
telling me so.
