I just reupdated completely to HEAD version and have been making changes and adding some diff. resources..

I noticed that my pickup messages are not showing up in the chathud... the items will echo in console, but wont display in hud.. could somebody enlighten me on this?

Just for sake of verifying the problem. I built from HEAD version, totally clean and the problem is still there..


It is going into the onServerMessage routine (according to echos), but its not echoing on Client screen. The same call used to display the 'You are running blah blah' at first line..

It displays that and regular chat, but wont do items or other SystemMessage calls

You mean the messsages like "You picked up a rifle"?

Those work fine in my 1.1.2 checkout of TGE; haven't tried the latest HEAD changes yet... quite possible that some recent commit has broken something.

You should report this sort of thing as an issue with the Project Manager BTW.

I've tried both release and debug builds of the current head, using both the fps game and the rw game, and the pickup messages are working fine for me. I'm using VC++ 6, building and running on Windows XP.

Make absolutely sure you have the most recent engine code and scripts. If you continue to have problems with this, make sure you specify as much information as possible about your build and run environments as well as the symptoms, when you file the Project Manager report.
