Hello. I want a message like "Match started" on the top center of screen.
But HintText, SayText2 not what I need. Please help me of code example.

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from messages import TextMsg

game_started = TextMsg(message='Game started',
    destination=TextMsg.HUD_PRINTCENTER)
    
@Event
def round_start(game_event):
    game_started.send()

Thanks, but this code to crash my csgo

I can confirm that using TextMsg crashes my client (not the server). I also tried using HintText and KeyHintText, which I know used to work a long time ago. While neither of the two crashed the server or my client, no message was printed.

Ok, so I figured out the crashing issue. The parameters for TextMsg were incorrect. I will commit the fixes here in a few. However, even after doing so, I still do not receive any message on my screen...

Actually, there is no "msg_name" for TextMsg:

Syntax: Select all

message CCSUsrMsg_TextMsg
{
	optional int32 msg_dst = 1;
	repeated string params = 3;
}

It seems that the first string wrote to "params" is the main string and others are just formated to it.

EDIT: HintText and KeyHintText both works on my side. I think I know why they didn't, on your side. Like I commented here, ResetHud is sent every round start to clean players' hud so you need to delay any HintText/KeyHintText if you want to send them on round_start.

I noticed that too. However, I also noticed this post of your's from a while back (dev eyes only):
http://forums.sourcepython.com/showthread.php?202&p=1260&viewfull=1#post1260

The link in your second edit led me to the conclusion that maybe we needed another value. Through all my testing, the only one that does not crash my client is when I have both msg_name and params. Though, again, nothing is printed.

I will continue to test, and see if I can figure this out.

Not sure if this has something to do with this issue. https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/issues/4
I never had the motivation to take a look at it.

Actually, I got it working with the following:

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from filters.recipients import RecipientFilter
from _messages import UserMessage

@Event
def player_jump(game_event):
    x = RecipientFilter() # Need to keep it alive the time send_message gets called.
    msg = UserMessage(x, 'TextMsg')
    msg.set_byte('msg_dst', 4)
    msg.set_string('params', 'Hello!', 1)
    msg.send_message()

However, this is the same result as HintText and KeyHintText. They all three prints the message at this area: http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/5258302014111000001.jpg

Even though it is the same, we still need to support it within our messages package with the TextMsg class. When you get the chance, please update the data or package to fix this issue. And yes, Ayuto, we do still need to go back through and fix any other issues that exist within the messages package, especially in relation to CS:GO.

I need message like: "PLAYING ON TEAM COUNTER-STRIKE" on image http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/5258302014111000001.jpg

I don't know that we have access to that, but we will attempt to find out. I do know that toptext doesn't work, as none of the Dialog messages work in CS:GO.

Actually, using the exact script L'In20Cible has shown with player_jump, my client crashes...
