turning off messages in demo playback


(shao) #1

Not sure if this is an editing question, but i have a feeling it may be because i can’t find the console command to do it.

I’m currently producing a movie, and am trying to turn off as much of the hud as possible. Ideally i only want the ammo / clip count, and messages such as “you killed playerx”, however i am still getting all other text such as ‘ammo pack’ when an ammo pack is picked up, all the text regarding dropping to limbo when you have died, and warning messages about objectives such as ‘dynamite planted at sea wall’.

I managed to find a translations.cfg file in my scripts folder (not sure where it came from coz i can’t find it in any pak file) which had all the text messages i wanted to turn off, along with their foreign langauge versions, so i removed the english version of the text i no longer wanted and replaced the file… however i still get the text appearing in demo playback + doing a text search in windows through my entire wolfenstein folder doesn’t appear to throw up anything, but i have noticed that this text appears in cgame_mp_x86.dll…

any help on this would be muchly appreciated, as otherwise the onscreen display looks very cluttered.

yeah, i have used this in the past, but i still want some 2d information displayed, such as ammo count, and kills… thanks anyway… i get the feeling it can’t be done.

yeah, i’ve tried that also. osp even has a cg_printobjectiveinfo (which i was hoping would turn off the objective flags), but it doesn’t appear to make any difference if i have it as 0 or 1…

i think i’ll check the osp forums for clarification. :smiley:

thanks anyway
