[Release] ServerAd

[zxz0O0]

This is a plugin to display some advertisement in your server and also intended to provide an example on how to use the HudElem type.

Requires @Nukem's Server Addon 1.410+

sv_config.ini entries:

Code:

[ServerAd]
//Text to be displayed
Text=Visit ^1ItsMods.com ^7for great mods.
//FontScale
FontSize=1.6

Example how it will look like:


I have added comments to the source code so it's easier to understand. If you still have any questions feel free to ask.

It's just some textline like the gametype string between the round time and killfeed.

[JoSchaap]

how long does the text stay? or is it permanent?

Line #29. Ugly fix to make it permanent.

Fail. Just read the comments. This whole OnAddonFrame stuff is just because I need to wait a bit until the server is fully loaded because if you make the hudelement just in OnMapChange/OnFastRestart it will get deleted again.

A HudElement is always permanent until you delete it (or the game).
