Topic: hide server messages

hi there

is there any chance of getting say a console command or cfg file option to turn off server messages (the yellow ones in the bottom left)?

eg server_messages 0

some servers spit out a lot of junk messages and they just obscure the screen instead of being helpful. it would be nice to just get rid of them altogether smile

Re: hide server messages

You could just do a check in the chat rendering to continue when there client sending is -1.

Re: hide server messages

Yesterday i thought about this problem, too.
If you use the Race mod (Download: Windows,Linux), you could type sv_silent_mode 1  big_smile

Re: hide server messages

I had the same problem and created a patch. The patch adds a config param called "cl_show_srv_msgs". In the game, you can open the console with F1 and enter 

cl_show_srv_msgs 0

, which disables server messages.

cl_show_srv_msgs 1

reenables the server messages. The only problem: You have to compile the client by yourself sad

There you go:

Re: hide server messages

I belive there is a risk that the forum strips away whitespaces, so the patch posted here might not work.

Used to be very active waay back
