There's a hidden feature in the script modes (since quite a long time actually...):
#Const Description "balbalbal"

makes the description text appear in the help menu in-game.

And now there's a "ModeStatusMessage" string in the api, that should appear in the join dialog box before entering the server.
(if ModeStatusMessage is empty, the Description is shown instead)

Thanks.
You should put in in Nadeo gamesmodes to encourage us to use it.

In Realm's script, the "#Const Description" says "See rules on the spawn's screen for more details.".
It seems strange.
Isn't the help menu in-game supposed to replace the "press f1 at spawn" help?

I can't find "ModeStatusMessage" in any Nadeo script.
What kind of message should we write here?

'ModeStatusMessage' can be set by server controllers to replace the 'Description' given by the mode script itself

the ingame help window keeps being empty for me, how do you set its text?
the text of Description is shown on the join server screen

You can also use CMode::ModeStatusMessage("Test"); To display it aswell

I added the constant description in my script. This value is displayed on the join server screen AND on the ingame help menu.

Code: Select all

#Const Description  """TYPE: Team versus Team
OBJECTIVE: Your team must send all the opposing team to jail.

See rules on the spawn's screen for more details."""

This value is displayed on the join server screen AND on the ingame help menu.

Hm, okay thanks.
i will check it later, but the last time i tried that the text wasn't shown in the help menu

You have to restart the server after updating the #Const value to see it in the help menu. Or at least I have to do that.

i don't know if that did the trick but it's working now, thanks
