Question for meridian

This is from the suggestions topic here https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/33067

I thought asking in this forum would be more appropriate. Let me preface this with that my scripting skills are novice.

I've been playing around with your plugin since you posted and I'm not having any luck. It seems to me that the event is not being captured in the same way as the other events in your dictionary. I tried adding the event to your dictionary twice, first I just typed it in. I then copied and pasted from the errors log thinking I might not be seeing a typo.

Is it possible that this would be under a different name and if so how would I find out what that event is called?

['Auto-Aim enabled.']='A/A on',
['You cannot jettison that type of cargo.']='Kill me.',
['You cannot jettison that type of cargo.']='Kill me now.',
['You are too far away to mine this object.']='You are too far away to mine this object',

The 'You cannot jettison that type of cargo.' comes from the "CHAT_MSG_SECTORD" event instead of "CHAT_MSG_PRINT".

To find out what the events are called, get the DevKit plugin here. The command you want is then /test events

I must have written the HUD messages plug-in a long time ago because it isn't written well. I have a new version that I will post as soon as I have tested it to validate that it works.

That worked! Thanks for your help. I'll keep an eye out for the newer version.

Thanks for the tip on DevKit. I was pretty clueless when I was trying it a couple of years ago.

HUD Messages v1.1 posted. I added the 'cannot jettison' message, cleaned up the code a bit, and commented things more so you can hopefully follow what it is doing.

VOUPR seems to be having problems with accepting uploads, so you'll have to grab it from my website.

To modify the plug-in to do what you want, simply change the true on line 24 to false (that will suppress the message without displaying on the HUD). And if you don't want the other functionality from HUD Messages, then just comment out lines 13 - 21.
