I have various echo commands in my config which work just fine in vq3 and other mods but not with Excessive Plus. There is simply never anything printed on the screen. Not sure whether this is a bug or a feature but I couldn't find anything related in the forums yet.

Example:
bind KP_5 "toggle cg_thirdperson; echo ^33rd person mode; vstr angle0; vstr range80"

I don't see the string on screen, I need to open the console.

Re: [Bug] echo command doesn't work

Hi, have noticed too this thing, i though there is a new command for echo ?

Noticed echo2, but seems no use too...

Maybe it can be a problem with cojunction of some  xp_drawNotify entries ?

The majority of people think they think, when really they just change their prejudices. Understanding is a matter of will in most cases.

Never noticed this command exists. Using echo2 the strings are printed on the screen so I guess it's a feature!? Tongue

Yeah it's a feature, echo will only be printed on console, use echo2 if you want it to be printed on screen.

Fine, thank you beast for clarification! I'll need two versions of every script, bind etc then, one for XP and one for every other MOD / vq3. Sick
