Solved p{#}namej doesn't work at Openbor 4.0

[kimono]

Good evening, I would like to know what is the latest version using p(#)namej, why this function was removed in later versions and how do you display information like the player name in your projects?

It wasn't removed. p#namej works same as it always did.

Mind to share how you are using it? Because I have no issues with it.

I use OpenBoR v4.0 Build 7735.
I coded it this way and no display on screen:

p1namej         35 255 999 999 999 999 0

I'm posting the archive in question here since it's too big for an attached file.

why this function was removed in later versions and how do you display information like the player name in your projects?

The p{#}namej command shows information only when a player is joining in a game, or shows "press start" and "credits" text.



To show the current player name you should use p{#}score instead.

p{#}namej is never removed from the engine and it's used for joining. What you want to use instead of p{#}namej is p{#}score.

p{#}score {x1} {y1} {x2} {y2} {x3} {y3} {font}

• Determines the position of player's status.
• {#} determines which player this setting is for and its possible values are 1, 2, 3 and 4. There's no space around {#} though.
• {x1} and {y1} determines player's name position.
• {x2} and {y2} determines player's "-" position. Yes, there is "-" between name and score.
• {x3} and {y3} determines player's score position.
• x and y are the number of pixels, right and down respectively, from the top left corner of the screen to the top left corner of the name, "-" or the score.
• {font} determines which font is used for the texts.
• Font reference is the same as 'p{#}lifex' above.
• Default value is 0 or font.gif.

Thank you both @Kratus and @maxman! Sometimes you try some commands and you don't understand why they don't work: they are simply misused, it's my fault

I don't know if it's possible to add just a small line to p(#)namej or p(#)score in the Openbor manual to avoid confusion between the two.
If not, I'll remember it

Hey @kimono I see you're working on a Hokuto mod, I stared one too, you can have mine for parts if you want because I'll never use it. let me know and I'll PM it to you.

Hi Danno, and congratulations on the various deaths you've coded. It's very impressive
I'm interested, and I'll be releasing a public alpha version soon.

But it's already there
