Ah ok. Read the documentation earlier. But I wasnt sure if I can use this together with "et.trap_SendServerCommand".

Thx and best regards,

Hi,

we finally got to work. The trouble was our banner position configuration that we used e.g. "b 8", "b 72".
The bitmap as described in the old ETPro documentation (and the original source of the script) did not work for us.
As far as I understand it you cannot print to clients screen like:

et.trap_SendServerCommand( id, "b 128 \" "..foo.." \"\n")

using silent mod 0.6.1 and the dynamic lua api.

Currently we have follwoing working banner positions:

kmulti_pos          = "cp" -- multi + megakill - position
kmonster_pos        = "cp" -- ultra + monster + ludicrous + holy shit - position
kmultitk_pos        = "cp" -- multi TK - position
kspree_pos          = "bp" -- killing spree position
kspree_color        = "5" -- killing spree color

And the corresponding sayClients function:

function sayClients(pos, msg)
    local message = pos.." \""..msg.."^7\n\""
    et.G_Printf("kspree.lua: sayClients with message: \"%s\"", message)    
    table.foreach(client_msg,
    function(id, msg_ok)
            if msg_ok then
                et.trap_SendServerCommand(id, message)
            end
        end
    )
end

What options are there for printing to clients screen using "et.trap_SendServerCommand"?
Any documentation hint? Can't find anything.

Cheers,

Hi,

I just started a etded-server hobby instance based on silent and tried to get the kspree.lua
from http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/files/download/22-kspree/ to run.

The startup looks okay and I can stat the module with "/lua_status" in game.
But the killing sprees won't get announced. Instead the server.log shows
me following error.

6:21 Lua API: et_Obituary error running lua script: [string "kspree.lua"]:430: tried to get invalid gentity field "sess.sessionTeam"
7:45 Lua API: et_Obituary error running lua script: [string "kspree.lua"]:430: tried to get invalid gentity field "sess.sessionTeam"

The suspicious lines in the kspree.lua
 

427 function et_Obituary(victim, killer, mod)
428         if gamestate == 0 then
429     local v_teamid = et.gentity_get(victim, "sess.sessionTeam")
430     local k_teamid = et.gentity_get(killer, "sess.sessionTeam")
431         local weapon = et.gentity_get(victim, "s.weapon")

Now it doesn't really make sense that the code does work for the victim but not for the killer.
So I guess the errors are not immediately related to the script..
But that's just my guess and I am bit puzzled on this one.

Any ideas suggestions?
