Title: CVAR for disabling new HINT engine
Post by: Zydu on June 29, 2011, 08:12:20 AM
It would be nice to have a CVAR for it since it looks nice but for me it messes up vote progress in hintbox.

war3_hint_enabled 0/1 cvar for hint engine, why would you ever turn it off though? you can still see the votes.

I guess you have misunderstood me in this case. What I was hoping for was to be able to use old hint system and disabling new one. I didn't wanted to disable it totally.

My issue with new hint system is that it makes votes preview look like this.

Any chances to add "ignore" for Vote?

do you know how? engine hooks every hint and redisplays it

My friend was suggesting that hint system could ignore messages after vote starts, there must be some "argument" when it starts...

hint engine always competes for the hint text space, you can go into your vote system plugin, add \n\n\n\n\n to the printout. hint engine will copy this and push the old vote results with the extra \n\n\n

which \n means new line
