[align=justify]Hi Phoenix!

Gets a specific image only for Headshots for attacker.

case "MOD_HEAD_SHOT":
               {
                  obitad(attacker, "headshotkill", "headshotdeath", "", sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon);
                  if(isWeaponType(sWeapon, "sniper")) obitstat(attacker, "sniperkill", "sniperdeath");
                  obitmain(attacker, sWeapon, sHitLoc, false);
                  if(self.ex_obmonpmsg) attacker iprintlnbold(&"OBITUARY_HEADSHOT");                  
                  if(self.ex_obmonpsound) attacker playLocalSound("headshot");
                                                                                                    ?headshot_image?          
                  break;
                                           }
What do I think of for you?[/align]

Hey PatmanSan ... Would you be able to help me please?

Open _ex_obituary.gsc in your favorite text editor

Go to the very end of this file, and add the following procedure:

Code: [Select]

showHeadshotImage()
{
if(!isdefined(self.headshot_img))
{
self.headshot_img = newClientHudElem(self);
self.headshot_img.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
self.headshot_img.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
self.headshot_img.alignX = "center";
self.headshot_img.alignY = "middle";
self.headshot_img.x = 320;
self.headshot_img.y = 240;
self.headshot_img.archived = false;
self.headshot_img.sort = 100;
self.headshot_img.alpha = 1;
self.headshot_img setShader("exg_crybaby", 64, 64);
}

if(isdefined(self.headshot_img))
self.headshot_img scaleOverTime(1, 384, 384);

wait( [[level.ex_fpstime]](1.5) );

if(isPlayer(self) && isdefined(self.headshot_img))
self.headshot_img destroy();
}
This example is using the "exg_crybaby" image, so make sure to change it to the name of your material file, and change the dimensions if needed.

Go to the section where the headshot is handled, and add a call to the new procedure:

Code: [Select]

case "MOD_HEAD_SHOT":
{
obitad(attacker, "headshotkill", "headshotdeath", "", sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon);
if(isWeaponType(sWeapon, "sniper")) obitstat(attacker, "sniperkill", "sniperdeath");
obitmain(attacker, sWeapon, sHitLoc, false);
//if(self.ex_obmonpmsg) attacker iprintlnbold(&"OBITUARY_HEADSHOT");
if(self.ex_obmonpmsg) attacker thread showHeadshotImage();
if(self.ex_obmonpsound) attacker playLocalSound("headshot");
break;
}
I disabled the code that shows the HEADSHOT text by placing // in front of it.
I added this line:

if(self.ex_obmonpmsg) attacker thread showHeadshotImage();

This will only show the image if you have an obituary mode that includes personal messages. If you want to show the image regardless of mode and settings, replace that line with:

attacker thread showHeadshotImage();

[PatmanSan]

You can increase your chances on getting an answer by posting this question in the correct forum.
No offense... just trying to keep it clean and simple. Thanks

How do we just edit or modify the text that is there now for the various obituary messages i.e. HEADSHOT! KILLING SPREE! HUMILIATION! and so on? We want to change the color and sizes. I assume its html format syntax?

Thanks in advance!

[PatmanSan]

inside the IWD:

localizedstrings\killspree.str
localizedstrings\obituary.str
etc.

[sevendust]

I see where I can change colors using standard game stuff, but is there any syntax for changing size? Or font face? etc?

Thanks!

You the man PatmanSan!

[PatmanSan]

It depends on where the localized string are for. Could be a menu or a script. If used for "iprintln" and "iprintlnbold" in a script, you cannot change the size; only the coloring. If used in a HUD element, you can change the size (.fontscale), and color (.color) if not overridden by color codes in the localized string itself.
