What kinda mod are you using?

[fanobliv]

Well then here is a messaging script I use:

   

Messages:
   while (1)
   {
      locprint 230 20 "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 5
      locprint 230 20 "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 5
      locprint 230 20 "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 5
      locprint 230 20 "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 5
      locprint 230 20 "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 50
   }
   
   end

   

   It appears on the bottom of the screen; or in bold on the side:

   

message_them:
   wait 3
      while (level.messagesactive == 1)
      {
         wait 20
         if (level.messagesactive == 1) {
   
               iprintlnbold "MESSAGE HERE"
            wait 2
               iprintlnbold "MESSAGE HERE"
            wait 2
               iprintlnbold "MESSAGE HERE"
            wait 2
               iprintlnbold "MESSAGE HERE"
            wait 2
               iprintlnbold "MESSAGE HERE"
   
         }
      }
   end]

   

   On the side of the screen bold; or, in regular text on the side of the screen:

   

   

   Messages:

   

   

while (1)
   {
      iprintln "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 1.5
      iprintln "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 1.5
      iprintln "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 1.5
      iprintln "MESSAGE HERE"
      wait 1.5
      iprintln "MESSAGE HERE
      wait 50
   }
   
   end]

   

   Pick what you you like:)

Note: for some odd reason I can't use tab, where it is wait _ and iprintln _ make a tab space in front of it.

[fanobliv]

ty! where 2 put it lol ?

[fanobliv]

what kind of file type must i use for this 1 Shader ?

[EarthMan]

No, you would put this in an .scr file for example, make a .scr file named messages.scr save that into you mod's global file, now in your map where all the execs are type this under one of them: exec global/messages.scr

   Now open up your messages.scr file and and one of the message types that I showed you. Also edit the messages to you likings:) Save it again and then go load the map that you just edited, and see if it works!

   

   Example for malta:

   

   

   

main:
      level.script = maps/dm/MP_Malta_DM.scr
      level.music = mp_malta_dm
   
   
      setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Malta"
      setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
      setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "-|Warriors of Doom|-"
      setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "Recruiting"
      setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "www.mods-r-us.net"
      setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "Enjoy You Stay"
      setcvar "g_gametypestring" "*YodaRules*"
   
      setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "mp_malta_dm"

lol, like my new avatar?

[fanobliv]

im totally confused now :S:S:S:S. i got the scr file now but what about the new script you sended lol ? must i so so much 2 get it work ?

[[KC]Murdock]

two things you can do....open up your map script like mohdm1.scr and below level wait till spawn past "exec yourscriptfile.scr". This method uses the mapscript so you have to do that for all the maps in your rotation. But you can have diff messages on diff maps.

   The other way (more simple) is to exec it from the dmprecache.scr (found in global) this file is execed every time a map loads.

   Open the file scroll to the bottom and do 'exec yourscriftfile.scr" (your script file has to be in the global dir, otherwise its 'exec "map"/yourscripfile.scr"

[fanobliv]

ok im asking a m9 2 do it. im confused. Never heard of dmprecache, dont even know where 2 find it

[EarthMan]

You can't just always ask other people to do stuff for you, even the hard stuff, in modding you actually have to do work. Usually you will find a dmprecache in mod's file. Every single normal map's .scr file you see exec dmprecache.scr. The dmprecache.scr is found in you mod's global file. If you don't load the dmprecache, your server will get messed up. Murdock's way is a lot simpler, after all the weapon's in the dmprecache.scr, add one of the messages like I have shown you, save it, then it'll be a lot easier because the map's .scr already loads the dmprecache.scr!

or get admin-pro ! and use it for the messages ! you can use the same message or use map specific .
