Hello!

 

We all know this message at the bottom of the iw4m menu. 2 days ago I saw a gameplay about a mod and this message bar was there (ingame). I really want to know how to make something like this.

I sent a message to DUKIP since I never got an answer in this thread. He gave me this code, but I dont know what to do with it or where to add it. Can anybody help me with this?

 

    //Bar Text
   level.infotext = NewHudElem();
   level.infotext.alignX = "center";
   level.infotext.alignY = "bottom";
   level.infotext.horzAlign = "center";
   level.infotext.vertAlign = "bottom";
   level.infotext.y = 33;
   level.infotext.foreground = true;
   level.infotext.fontScale = 0.85;
   level.infotext.font = "objective";
   level.infotext.alpha = 1;
   level.infotext.color = ( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
   //Bar
   level.bar = level createServerBar((0, 0, 0), 1000, 15);
   level.bar.alignX = "center";
   level.bar.alignY = "bottom";
   level.bar.horzAlign = "center";
   level.bar.vertAlign = "bottom";
   level.bar.y = 35;
   level.bar.foreground = true;
   level.bar.HideWhenInMenu = true;
}

 

onplayeronconnect:

 

    level.infotext setText("DUKIP IS AWESOME");
   level.infotext.HideWhenInMenu = true; 

 

Edit: Sorry for the double post btw.

My bad, school is hectic man and I have so many projects, as in coding and radiant stuff, anyway I'll send you where it goes soon.

All this goes in _rank.gsc btw, if you don't have it look at zombiefan564's thread of MW2 Raw/GSC files

Textyyy()
{
   level.infotext setText("DUKIP IS AWESOME");
   level.infotext.HideWhenInMenu = true;
}

 

TextInfo()
{
   //Bar Text
   level.infotext = NewHudElem();
   level.infotext.alignX = "center";
   level.infotext.alignY = "bottom";
   level.infotext.horzAlign = "center";
   level.infotext.vertAlign = "bottom";
   level.infotext.y = 33;
   level.infotext.foreground = true;
   level.infotext.fontScale = 0.85;
   level.infotext.font = "objective";
   level.infotext.alpha = 1;
   level.infotext.color = ( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
   //Bar
   level.bar = level createServerBar((0, 0, 0), 1000, 15);
   level.bar.alignX = "center";
   level.bar.alignY = "bottom";
   level.bar.horzAlign = "center";
   level.bar.vertAlign = "bottom";
   level.bar.y = 35;
   level.bar.foreground = true;
   level.bar.HideWhenInMenu = true;
}

 

onPlayerConnect add this to the bottom of the for(;

player thread Textyyy();

Where i need to add Textyyy and TextInfo? Or it does not matter?

Put it at the very bottom of the _rank.gsc away from any blocks. And more importantly do not put it in something that has }, it has to be a completely empty area.

Doesn't work like it should. Can you, if you have time to, make an example?

What do you mean it doesn't work like it should?

The server doesn't start.

Alright what does it say when you start it? :roll:

._. I'm sorry that I'm a total noob in this.

Anyway this is what i get:

did you call it onplayerconect() ?

Put it at the very bottom of the _rank.gsc away from any blocks. And more importantly do not put it in something that has }, it has to be a completely empty area.

 

 

WHY DOES EVERYONE murder _rank.gsc

 

ffs just make a new .gsc so its not so cluttered

Here is the gsc. Please don't hate me because of this lol

        player thread Textyyy();

is outside the for loop put it at the bottom of the for loop like I said.

Thank you. The server starts again now. But the Newsbar is not there.

Because in menus it's not there, did you even spawn?

Yeah, I spawned. It's not there.

Well i added

player thread TextInfo();

and now i can see the bar but the text is still not there.

 

Current _rank.gsc: http://pastebin.com/yDyTH6TW

There... [attachment=0]k2.rar[/attachment]

It works. But how do I get it out that the text moves?

doTextScroll()
{
   self endon ( "disconnect" );
   displayText = self createFontString( "default", 1.4 );
displayText2 = self createFontString( "default", 1.4 );
displayText3 = self createFontString( "default", 1.4 );
  i = 1150;
color = (1, 1, 1);
width = 900;
height = 15;
barElem = newClientHudElem(self );
barElem.x = -45 ;
barElem.y = 335;
barElem.frac = 0;
barElem.color = color;
barElem.sort = -2;
barElem.hidden = false;
barElemBG = newClientHudElem( self ); 
barElemBG.elemType = "bar";
barElemBG.width = width;
barElemBG.height = height;
barElemBG.xOffset = -45;
barElemBG.yOffset = 335;
barElemBG.bar = barElem;
barElemBG.children = [];
barElemBG.sort = -3;
barElemBG.color = (0,0,0);
barElemBG.alpha = 0.5;
barElemBG setParent( level.uiParent );
barElemBG setShader( "progress_bar_bg", width + 4, height + 4 );
barElemBG.hidden = false;
barElemBG setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", 0, 460);
   for( ;; )
   {
       if(i < -3900) {
           i = 1150;
       }
   		displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", i, 460);
	//displayText2 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", i+1520, 460);
	//displayText3 setPoint( "CENTER", "TOP", i+2905, 460);    
	displayText setText("textttt ");
	//displayText2 setText(" ^textttt ");
	//displayText3 setText("textttt");
//text 2 and 3 are if you need more lines
       wait .01;
	i -= 2.5;
   }
}

Thanks! Works now.
