Repositioning cl_showpos

Just wondering if there is a way to reposition cl_showpos and cl_showfps like you can do with the netgraph?

I would like to move it over to the left so I can see the kill info better.

insteadd of moving showpos, move the death notice.
You need a file called HudLayout.res which goes in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\scripts

Heres how it looks on my scren, not sure if it will look different on other resolutions.

If it looks different just move it to where ever you think is best, find this entry.:-

HudDeathNotice
{
"fieldName" "HudDeathNotice"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"xpos" "r640" //change this moves left or rght. Default isr640
"ypos" "25" //change this moves it up or down 12 is default value.
"wide" "628"
"tall" "468"

"MaxDeathNotices" "4" //how many deaths show on screen at once.
"LineHeight" "22"
"RightJustify" "1" // If 1, draw notices from the right

"TextFont" "Default"
}

Probably is possible but I couldnt find it and was almost going to give up then I rememdered seeing a deathnotice in one of the res files.

I recommend to disable both of them.

bind "MWHEELUP" "net_graph 3; cl_showpos 1"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "net_graph 0; cl_showpos 0"

Try this it uses only 1 key

Code: Select all

bind "key" "incrementvar net_graph 0 3 3;incrementvar cl_showpos 0 1 1"
I supose it can have a downside since net_graph 3 stays on when you exit game so i advise you to insert either cl_showpos 1 or net_graph 0 into your autoexec to get full use otherwise 1 will be on and 1 off when you press key.

why do you recommend disabling them?

I like cl_showpos and cl_showfps on, but I have net_graph on/off binded to del on the num pad.

They may desconcentrate you, plus they occupate a good part of your screen and they are perfomance-eaters :D

True about taking up screen but if you have decent enough hardware you shouldnt notice the tiny hit on performance, I don't :)
I only use net_graph and sometimes showpos.

I never been able to get netgraph to stick around, I never mess with the auto exec but is that where it goes? I was messing with my config and somehow managed to disable my plugins.. grrr...
