Chat messages placement in darkplaces from svn

Developer discussion of experimental fixes, changes, and improvements.

Moderators: Nexuiz Moderators, Moderators


  • Where in the source is the location for chat/event messages defined? In the official release these messages appear bottom left quadrant; in svn build they show up center top.

  • When you download nexuiz-23.zip, the complete sources are included, and inside the enginesourcexxxx.zip you can find a file called nexuiz-engine-changes.diff
    (I can't acces to divVerent pages for the moment to show you the most recent one.)

    Thank you, Ronan, I'll poke through the diff. It never crossed my mind. :)

    EDIT: Looks like the diff you mentioned was only in the release zip, so it only mentions changes from the last release. I'm looking for a diff from what's current in subversion. :/

  • 1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

    Thank you kindly. Cvars, nice. Any reason center/top was chosen as default for Nexuiz?

  • nexbender, if you still have the con_chat.diff or the __complete.diff file you used to patch the engine, can you post it here please, the lastest modifications are broken.

    Just revert colorchange-color-15.diff and it'll work...

  • Please send me the patch you got, nexbender. I lost the file after my latest changes and have no current backup (only one of Nov 26, which was before my Nov 27 changes).

    If you only have the patched source - does not matter, please send it to me.

    Thanks in advance. It would save me some hours of extra work

    EDIT: Big thanks to nexbender, I got the patch again and made it work with current svn. Should I put you in the credits file as data recovery expert? Or... you may now choose your own forum rank (instead of "Advanced member", and I'll change it for you :P)
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
