TCS adds on boomer

[Bastet]

3 times the same is kinda overkill spes the left top one, it covers a good part of my map, also the center down one gets coverd by the longer adds from the botem left, is it possible to remove one or 2 of these? its kinda hard to miss now i know, but id like to see the whole map.

what resolution / te4xt-size are you running it at? the text on my screen was very small and didn't get in the way as far as I noticed

Each one can be set individually and can be removed.  The original config I had, was to show only the top message but it is restricted to a small number of characters.  The middle, or bottom left would be the best to keep. Can you have a look at this BB, the cvars involved are the ones I sent in my PM about enabling the adverts.

Mine's not interfearing also...
I reckon it's screensettings.
The adds are displayed on my left on the bottom where the typed texts also are displayed and also top left above my radar.

Well i got a fairly small monitor, and to help the proformance with the forced 32 bit graphs i am running a fairly small resolution to make sure it all runs smoothly (to avoid drops in fps when looking at water, beeing near explosions etc)

[DuVeL]

Try different settings, check FPS - size...

what system are you running? My xp-2500 and 9800pro run CSSource pretty decently (for most maps most of the time) at 1280x800, most settings on high and no AA/AF/HDR?

I imagine it's because the font used to display the message gets its size specified in terms of pixels rather than screen-percentage?

Server CVARS are set as follows:

//Adverts for Boomer
mani_adverts 1
mani_time_between_adverts 30
mani_adverts_chat_area 0
mani_adverts_top_left 1
mani_adverts_bottom_area 0

So they should only appear in chat area. Anywhere else and I'll need to investigate further.

Still coming up in all three places :g:

I put them into the console and it works fine.  
I changed it to:

mani_time_between_adverts 15
mani_adverts_chat_area 0
mani_adverts_top_left 0
mani_adverts_bottom_area 1

But reverted to old settings at map change.

fao Bastet: what you need to find is a variable that allows you to pick a smaller scren font. I used to have the opposite problem in the old CS when going to a high resolution of 1600x1200 the text was too small to read and I had to set fonts to "large" to make the text readable. You need the opposite of that, (or a higher screen res )

Looks like this is similar to the issue we had with adverts in the first place - we had to set it to 0 in the mani_server cfg and enable or disable it for each server as ENabling it in mani_server cfg didn't allow us to disable it in server cfg.

Consequently, I have set all advert CVARs to zero in the mani_server cfg and have turned on the appropriate one in server27019.cfg

The server27019.cfg ones are not having any affect.  I was having to do the following at every map change

Code Select Expand

rcon mani_time_between_adverts 15
rcon mani_adverts_bottom_area 1
rcon mani_adverts 1 :g:

in that case I can only suggest that mani aint all it is cracked up to be :sideways:

CMaybe stupid but can't you make it read only? Or doesn't that work with server configs?
