Is it possible to code a custom death message. What I want is a custom sprite to appear between the attakers name and the victims name, up in the right top corner... like a fireball is death occures by flamethrower, or a sword if killed with the ninja plugin...etc

ive been wondering this too.. i'd like to use my own sprite icon for a plugin of mine.. nnbut the icon seems to be controlled by the 'weaponid' for the deathmsg (at least the way of creating death msgs for dod thats known) and im stuck using 0 which comes up as 'world' with just the X icon thingy..nni dont know any ways around it tho :(

If you look through the sprites directory in the GCF you can see all the sprites the HUD uses. They are divided into sections and named to be called in the DLL. The deathmsg amx native cmd as far as I know cannot expand beyond it. Here is a link that might be useful in doing some research that has info about how dod's HUD is displayed.rnrnSo as far as I know it's not possible and it's definitely not possible to make a custom sprite appear somewhere on the HUD. I've looked everywhere for how to do that. Read the link I sent and see if you can do more research on it though.
