Message Overlap

TexasNomad · Post by **TexasNomad** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:20 pm

Running ETPRO 3.1

When you kill someone, the message to YOU collides with the Server message to all players.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

TIA,

Relocate the server message with b_bannerlocation.

0 - Player chat area
1 - Left popup area (not recommended)
2 - Centerprint area (where, for example, the 'Arming dynamite...' message is displayed)
3 - Console only
4 - Banner area (the very top of the screen)

0 and 4 are probably your best bet.

OK- I know about the BANNER messages- I am refering to the messages that someone was killed that is displayed to ALL users on the server- the left popup area.

The left popup area message "X player killed Y player" overlaps the message to the individual player "You Killed Y Player". This only occurs on the display of the killer, not anyone else.

How can I adjust those messages so that they don't overlap?

TIA,

1 way is to go into the etpro options menu and put the text arae where it says X killed by Y (the global area) to the top. i dont know exactly anymore which option it was but it's under Etpro/hud when you press escape.
