I have a script that uses HudMessage for a breath meter but I found how it displays depending on what render method is used.

Top is hardware (vid_renderer=1)
Bottom is software (vid_renderer=0)

Breath meter script (in case it's needed)

Code: Select all

int howlongisthebar;
script 447 (void) {
	SetHudSize(512, 384, 1);
	//hudmessage(s: " air: ", d: GetAirSupply(PlayerNumber()) ; HUDMSG_plain, 189, CR_LIGHTBLUE, 400.0, 140.0, 1.0);
	if(GetAirSupply(PlayerNumber()) < 700) {
		
		howlongisthebar = (GetAirSupply(PlayerNumber()) / 35);
		for(int x = 0; x <  howlongisthebar; x++){
			//SetFont("WBARA0");
			//hudmessage(s: " air: ", d: GetAirSupply(PlayerNumber()); HUDMSG_plain, 189, CR_LIGHTBLUE, 400.0, 140.0, 1.0);
			//print(d: x);
			SetFont("WBARA0");
			HudMessage(s:"A"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 190 + x, CR_LIGHTBLUE, 250.0 + (x * 7.0), 150.0, 1.0);
			//delay(1);
		}
		delay(35);
	}

	delay(1);
	restart;
}

I've attached the image used in the script, in case you need that too.

It doesn't help at all if you post scaled down screenshots. Please use the original size. More importantly, post a functional demo map to show the error in action.

I didn't scale the image down... it's two screenshots at 800x600 each.

Anyway, I've attached an example. Try it with vid_renderer set to either 1 or 0.

Well..

If anything in the HUDMessage code made actual sense I might be able to fix this. But the way the code messes around with coordinates just inevitably creates situations where the end result is not what one might expect.
