Is there a way to remove completely the kind of text messages of the type "player_x killed/was_killed blah blag blah...." ? i consider them very annoying and obtrusive of the HUD....as an alternative, in the case we can't remove them completely , is there a way to move them to the low left corner ?


BTW, is it possible to move the echo messages to the center of screen ?


TIA,
AJSB

More like; Is there any way to move the minimap because it's blocking the messages.
AJSB, you are in luck! In options there is an option to move the minimap around the screen.
Also you can console command it. Something like /cg_mappos 1 etc

And I don't think you can move the echo messages, and who cares, they flash across the screen anyway.

is \con_notifytime used in urt?

[klabauterman]

use
/cg_msgTime 0 for kill messages
/cg_chatTime 0 for chat
remove hitmessages with /cg_showbullethits 0

you hear the chat tho

you can do cg_standardChat 1 and it'll be all topside


/con_notifytime is weird, smaller console output over the messages

MajorDan,
Yeah, i knew about moving around the minimap but because i can't (AFAIK) move around the other things like the timer (that i don't want to disable ) the default position of the minimap is the best one (if it was possible , i preferred it at the extreme top right corner (ETQW style) but can't actually put in there exactly but only a bit more to the right and i don't like that position at all)

Klabauterman,
Thanks, that was precisely the kind of command(s) that i wanted
The sound of messages doesn't bother me at all...in fact, i miss the capacity to make sound (still possible of making text) insults to the other team like in ETQW
Only the kill and hit messages was really annoying...what a waste of HUD space and distracting of player focus....much better to use the VAR to have sound feedback of when we hit the enemy.

AJSB, consider that the enemy may have cg_teamchatsonly 1

here small list for the chat commands:

//COMMUNICATION//
cg_autoRadio                      "2"                                  // 1=Grenade+lol 2=lol,Bomb 0=Disabled
cg_chatHeight                     "4"                                  // Displays "Number" Lines In Chat 4
cg_chatTime                       "8000"                               // Time That A Chat Message Stays On Screen 4000
cg_msgHeight                      "3"                                  // Displays "Number" Lines In DeathMessages 4
cg_msgTime                        "3000"                               // Time Of the DeathMessages On Screen 4000
cg_noTaunt                        "0"                                  // 1=Disables Radio Calls And The Text Of It
cg_noVoiceChats                   "0"                                  // 1=Disables Radio Call Sounds
cg_noVoiceText                    "0"                                  // 1=Disables Text Of Radio Calls
cg_standardChat                   "0"                                  // 0=Seperated Chat and Damage Messages 1=Chat+Damage On The Left Upper Corner
cg_showBulletHits                 "2"                                  // Hit+Damage Messages
cg_teamChatHeight                 "0"                                  // Displays "Number" Lines In Chat 0
cg_teamChatTime                   "8000"                               // Time That A Chat Message From Teammate Stays On Screen 3000
cg_teamChatsOnly                  "0"                                  // 1=Disable Global Chats 0=Enable Global Chats

I think /cg_msgHeight 0 is the better way to do it.

[AJSB (old)]

I tried msgheight but it also cuts ut_echo messages (i use them to inform me if i selected the right weapon/items combo), any ideias of how to preserve ut_echo messages or other way to me have instant feedback of my "class" choice key press ?

TIA.

This is not possible but you can use the echo command for console output. :/
or disable the hit messages to see only the death messages of players.
