Custom Basic HUD with CSQC

[EMR]

Working through http://www.inside3d.com/showtutorial.php?id=245.

This tutorial is very cool, but leaves the reader to guess about what they should do with some of the files, and I can't get it to compile.

Has anyone gotten this to work? If so, what file did they put

Code: Select all

void DrawHealth()
{
   local string text;
   
   vid_size_x = cvar(\"vid_conwidth\");
        vid_size_y = cvar(\"vid_conheight\");
        vid_res_x = cvar(\"vid_width\");
        vid_res_y = cvar(\"vid_height\");
   
   currenthealth = getstati(STAT_HEALTH);
   
   pos_x = vid_size_x*0.050 - hud_width*0.050;
   pos_y= vid_size_y*0.83 - hud_height*0.83;
   
   text = strcat(ftos(currenthealth), \": HEALTH\");
   drawstring(pos, text, \'5 10 0\', \'1 1 1\', 3, 1);
};

void DrawArmor()
{
   local string text;
   vid_size_x = cvar(\"vid_conwidth\");
        vid_size_y = cvar(\"vid_conheight\");
        vid_res_x = cvar(\"vid_width\");
        vid_res_y = cvar(\"vid_height\");
   
   currentarmor = getstati(STAT_ARMOR);
   pos_x = vid_size_x*0.05 - hud_width*0.05;
   pos_y= vid_size_y*0.85 - hud_height*0.85;
   text = strcat(ftos(currentarmor), \": ARMOR\");
   drawstring(pos, text, \'5 10 0\', \'1 1 1\', 3, 1);
};


void DrawHud()
{
        vid_size_x = cvar(\"vid_conwidth\");
        vid_size_y = cvar(\"vid_conheight\");
        vid_res_x = cvar(\"vid_width\");
        vid_res_y = cvar(\"vid_height\");
   pos2_y= vid_size_y*0.77 - hud_height*0.77;
   pos2_x = vid_size_x*0.0 - hud_width*0.0;
   drawpic(pos2, \"progs/hud4.tga\", \'128 110 0\', \'1 1 1\', 1, 0);
};


inside? Gamedefs.qc?

Can someone smart say if the code in the tutorial can be made to compile?
The suggested compiler gives me this:

Source file: progs.src
outputfile: ../csprogs.dat
compiling Defs.qc
compiling csqc_constants.qc
compiling csqc_builtins.qc
compiling Main.qc
compiling gamedefs.qc
in function DrawHealth (line 2),

Finally, what engines have you made it work with?

Remove the \ before the quotes, I don't know why they are being escaped.
