Title: How to write non-interactive non-titletext text ... ?
Post by: duckwilliamson on 22 Jul 2003, 01:28:02
how do you place text on the screen without titletext

in vehicles they have that indicator thiny in the top left to display

in the campaign they have rsctext displaying

other thingy's use globalchat "text"

I want to display text that doesn't use titletext (massive slow white writing)
that doesn't use hints (already used)
that doesn't use chat (don't like the bottom left thingy)
that allows you to continue playing without having to interact with the text (dialogs)

::::::

It's also be nice to know how to remove (if not possible please state) the "-player- was killed" in the chat text when someone dies (or make a custom one instead of the default)

There's a tute in the Ed Depot somewhere which shows you how to use titletext with different fonts and positioning on the screen.     Should give you what you want.
