I'm wondering if it's possible to script a 'text-draw' (w/e its called) which would look similar to this: (look at the HUD)

thanks in advance...and my scripting knowledge restricts to common sense (changing keys and basic things in other's scripts, compiling n stuff) so if anyone has time to make a full-ready script...

Sorry if I sound arrogant but what does this have to do with the thingy I want? It seems to just show ped IDs, I'd just like simple text-draw on the HUD which I could fill out myself and it'd show up forever

I mean something like this:

Why would you wanna create something that looks like that? It's not very nice-looking.

Anyway, to answer your question "I'm wondering if it's possible...". Yes.

It was an example, I just want a small text input with nice font that I could fill out myself

Basically I'd like to have my mob name and my mob rank showed on the hud, for a pseudo-RP server. Similar to Godfather 1 the game, is it that bad?

uh, any idea how can I get proper coordinates on the HUD? Also I have some trouble with FXT, I made a new one and did
CRED008 Rank: Veteran Mobster


but it seems to show 'Senior Programmer' while ingame, lol

GTA SA PS2 scale: 640.0 x 448.0
It's whole screen.

Use MS Paint and resize screenshot to 640.0 x 448.0
Get the XY by moving cursor on image.

Remember the XY is used for top-right position of text.

FXT fails in samp, you need to edit the GXT.

Actually, it's interesting why it fails. I might take a look in it.

[lolleroz]

Thanks Fastman, I'll look into it

So SilentPL, can I just find some random unused entry in gxt (lets say sh*t0001 for example), edit the text, and change the text entry in cleo script to sh*t0001 to get it to work?

You can even add a new one.
