Help, I can't find line ' draw fps

@Rew:

> Help, I can't find line ' draw fps

modDirectDraw7 client-side.

Or: Control + F > Type ' draw fps > click "Current Project".

If you still can't find it, here's it step by step.

* Control + F | Opens the Find box.
* Type ' draw fps | Sets what you want to find.
* Alt + C | Selects Current Project.
* Alt + N | Finds it.

Thanks, i've taken and modified this to work with information messages, rather than chat.

[Justn]

Yea touche its looks real good I was in the middle of trying to make it work with yamis loot display thing.. glad to know it looks so good thanks for sharing :)

Remember, when you use DrawText() to draw anything to the screen, use QBColor(), else it will just come out black with a black border.

Also, the only thing I need to figure out now is writing a timer to remove the messages 1 line per second, oldest to newest lol. Shouldn't be too hard really.

-EDIT-

Need to figure out another way to do this with a timer. Not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Tried using the ActionMsg system but that doesn't work right.

Make sure you are putting that line in **ModHandleData** in the **HandleSayMsg Sub** and not the

AddText Sub in ModText

Anyone know if it works in Eclipse - Nightly?

> Anyone know if it works in Eclipse - Nightly?

Look at sub DrawPlayerName on Eclipse Nightly 3.0, and notice how it says Rendertexture Font_Default, instead of Call Drawtext. You need to change the Drawtext code in this to Rendertexture Font_Default

[Jumbofile]

ambiguous name: drawchat

it highlighted public sub drawchat ()

help

[Justn]

That only means that you have two subs called drawchat just delete one

[minipimp]

Will this work with EO 2.3?

[Wortel Angels]

It works with all EO version which use DX7

[Fehedax]

How i can add this on EO 3.0  ??? It work? :(

[minipimp]

I added the  Rendertexture Font_Default, the chat is not showing.
Note - using 3.0  not 2.3 any more.

```
Public Sub DrawChat()
Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 6
        RenderText Font_Default,(TexthDC, Camera.left + 10, (Camera.Bottom - 20) - (i * 20), Chat(i).text, Chat(i).Colour)
    Next
End Sub
```I know its probably not right, could someone fix for me please?
Would appreciate it
