Hint Service Meow

[deft turret]

But the bug did not reappear

[deft turret]

how's the result?

[fathom inlet]

Well how about that, it works

Thanks

[deft turret]

Nice, if there's any bug please tell me

[versed timber]

No Fucking way

@rotund marlin

It fucking works

[versed timber]

Also Fansh I have a question

Are we allowed to use padding in tags?

<mark=#000000aa padding="20, 400, -20, 850">

[deft turret]

Why are you using that? I have never tried it before, but you can try it and see if it works.

[versed timber]

It makes a box makes hints look more appealing and you can make a good shop looking thingy

[versed timber]

Wait Fansh is it possible to add to normal hints ID for the hint service meow to know what hints it should rewrite and what not?

[deft turret]

Do you mean you want to write some information into hint ID?

[versed timber]

Okay let me show you on an example

[deft turret]

I am not 100% sure waht you are talking about(

OK

[versed timber]

Player.ShowHint(ID, "message", 5)

Player.ShowHint(1, "rewrites 1", 5)
Player.ShowHint(1, "I have rewriten 1", 5)
Player.ShowHint(2, "I am second ID", 5)

It will obviously be another method and not the base that Exiled uses

[deft turret]

I see what you mean

[versed timber]

But I do not know if it is something with what you are aiming in HSM.

Just an idea that this is interesting.

[deft turret]

I think that's interesting.

I think it can help simplify the Hint usage.

[versed timber]

I can 100% agree with you because I would love to use this instead of X Y system which is great but needs a lot of testing before you place the hint

[deft turret]

Y is 0-1080 on any screen.

Anyway, thanks.

[versed timber]

well I did not mean resolution but creating command and then placing text where I want to

[deft turret]

I see

[deft turret]

V5.3.6 has been released with bug fixing and a delay time property in text update arg
PLEASE BACK UP OLD VERSION BEFORE UPDATE so that if the new version does not work correctly, you can restore the older version.
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.3

[versed timber]

Do you mean attributes
<tag=amount attribute=amount>test</tag>

[bold creek]

Use 4.8 instead of 4.8.1 as the default .net version
i love you

[deft turret]

[split quiver]

@deft turret why isnt work ID: [PId] ?

[pulsar halo]

well show code

[versed timber]

The ID must be string

-# I mean ID of hint

[split quiver]

this about CustomizableUIMeow

[split quiver]

no code template needs to use

[pulsar halo]

Then not right thread

[versed timber]

I think he is using the config and the players variable is not working

[pulsar halo]

[slender crown]

Hello, I'm new to HintServiceMeow. I tried using the API instead of player.ShowHint. I attempted to implement it in my XP system, but no hints are being displayed. Any ideas?

[bold creek]

because of YCoordinate

wait a second

@slender crown

[slender crown]

Ah tysm

[bold creek]

np bro 👍

[slender crown]

Is there one also for X Coordinates?

[bold creek]

nup, but -360 is fully left, and... 360 is fully right ? idk for the right one

[slender crown]

So its working, but the problem now is, that the hint comes back all 5 seconds or sum. Tried with pd.RemoveAfter(GiveXPHintItem, 3); but that doesnt work either...

[bold creek]

Mmmmmmmh

did you try Sync = Desync ?

to see if it's work

[slender crown]

Nope

How do i do that?

[bold creek]

when you setup the hint

[slender crown]

SyncSpeed?

[strong shale]

no idea what it means because i don't code that much

might be useful

might not be

[slender crown]

@bold creek?

[bold creek]

yep

[slender crown]

It works also with Timing.CallDelayed. Im updating this here also and somehow it duplicates.

[bold creek]

can you send the cood please ?

[bold creek]

oh okay

do you want the hint to be updated ?

[slender crown]

uh yeah

[bold creek]

ok heu wait a few seconds

        private void OnPlayerConnected(VerifiedEventArgs ev)
        {
            var pd = player.GetPlayerDisplay();
            var HUD = new HintServiceMeow.Core.Models.Hints.Hint()

                 SyncSpedd = blahlah.Fastest #i don't remember this name,
            };

            pd.AddHint(HUD);
        }

@slender crown

this will work

[slender crown]

ty i will try

[bold creek]

normally connect this with the Verified event and it's work

[bold creek]

@slender crown this work ?

[slender crown]

I was eating, ima try it now.

[bold creek]

👍

[slender crown]

So it doesnt work, do i need this also?

        private CancellationTokenSource cancellationTokenSource;

        public void OnRoundStarted()
        {
            cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
            Task.Run(() => DisplayHUD(cancellationTokenSource.Token));
        }

        public void OnRoundEnded(Exiled.Events.EventArgs.Server.RoundEndedEventArgs ev)
        {
            cancellationTokenSource?.Cancel();
        }```

or does SyncSpeed the same job

[bold creek]

@slender crown why using a Task for htis ?

[slender crown]

Its not my plugin, just using it.

[bold creek]

use Verified event and copy paste the full method$

normally it's work

without a Task.run or a CancellationToken

[slender crown]

Yeah i had if (Round.isStarted) that breaked everything

[bold creek]

?

[slender crown]

Doesnt matter anymore, it works now. Thanks again :D

[bold creek]

np !

[slender crown]

Uh im using XCoordinate = 350 and it doesnt work

[bold creek]

try -200

[bold creek]

you meant for that ?

[slender crown]

yes

[bold creek]

so -300 is suffisant

try and restart

i think

[slender crown]

ima try with 600 now

[bold creek]

600 is for right

[slender crown]

yeah i want it right

[bold creek]

but idk if you will see something

[slender crown]

This is 600 XD

How far do i need to go XD

[bold creek]

yo what

[slender crown]

This happens with 1200 tf

[bold creek]

Mmmmmm

[slender crown]

you know why this happens?

[bold creek]

nah bro

[feral atlas]

Do not use Task or Task.Delay

[slender crown]

Already removed that

[deft turret]

https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.3
V5.3.7 had been released with tweak and bug fixing

• Add error handling issue in PlayerDisplay.StartParserTask
• Add support for <br> tag in text

If there's any issue please tell me

[old wraith]

"\n" when ;w ;

[velvet trellis]

/n works

you just have to use \n

[rose badger]

hi @deft turret there is a problem with your plugin

[versed timber]

Provide more information

• When did it happen
• What version are you using
• How to reproduce this

[rose badger]

so it happens when I kill a player and I want to display text to him in the latest version of EXILED

[versed timber]

Now what method do you use for it?

-# (show code)

[versed timber]

The timing call delay might be the problem

[rose badger]

was waiting for me to test

[rose badger]

yes that's it

[versed timber]

There should be removal time built in HSM

[rose badger]

yes really

[rose badger]

you know how I can resolve this

[versed timber]

Yes

Create a coroutine and use player data to go thru every player

If you use the hint just set player data with key ID 1 5

In the coroutine it will go down every second and when it reaches 0 it does

HintAttacker(ev.Player, " ")

With the constructors you create new called message which will be string.

Ply = player

Set:
ply.SessionVariables[keyName] = Arguments.JoinMessage(3);

Add:
ply.SessionVariables.Add(keyName, Arguments.JoinMessage(3));

Check:
(ply.SessionVariables.ContainsKey(keyName))

Remove:
ply.SessionVariables.Remove(keyName);

-# Andrzejki Today at 12:56 AM
-# I feel like I saw this code before
-# and that the JoinMessage method does not exist by default

[versed timber]

And try to do pd. and see what will pop up there should be time removal

[ocean nimbus]

I feel like I saw this code before

and that the JoinMessage method does not exist by default

[rotund marlin]

Jessie... Dont use session vars Jessie!!!

[versed timber]

Session vars are great

[rotund marlin]

But not inside 1 plugin

[versed timber]

The fuck are u about?

[rotund marlin]

Its for if you need to talk between plugins

[feral atlas]

[versed timber]

Really?

[rotund marlin]

Yes

[versed timber]

It has more uses as I see

I'll use it more to secretly break plugins

[rotund marlin]

[deft turret]

It says that some code in Method "OnPlayerDeath" uses Player.Kill(), which calls "OnPlayerDeath" again, and this self-recall cause the issue. Can you check if there's any Player.Kill() method in "OnPlayerDeath"?

[rose badger]

Hello, I found the problem and fixed it.

[deft turret]

Nice

[earnest inlet]

  disabled_compat_adapter:
  - 'RespawnTimer'```

by putting RespawnTimer, it shouldn´t modify the hint behaviour of it right? (btw it is not working)

[slender crown]

it didnt work for me either, until i made every hint with HSM, including RespawnTimer

[versed timber]

The line height is big problem for compability adaptor

@deft turret

[versed timber]

Also for me because I changed line height, but it didn't let me make the hint be more up

[earnest inlet]

You made it all over again or just change the original?

[deft turret]

I see

[deft turret]

OK

I think you should put the full name

[velvet trellis]

Quick question will you update hsm for the 14.0 beta?

[deft turret]

?Does HSM break in 14.0

Sorry, I have not tried 14.0 yet...

If it breaks, I will fix it,

[versed timber]

No one knows yet

[deft turret]

I heard that if you sponsored NW, they will give you the beta version.

[versed timber]

Ye

[velvet trellis]

Only for the client not the server

[queen lance]

Hey @deft turret
I'm guessing this error is cause the plugins using hints displaying too much and overloading it?
on 14.0 Beta

Yes

It isn't just this plugin but SL itself

Can't give too much of a hint

[queen lance]

Ahh that sucks
Thanks for that

[versed timber]

Yea I tried doing images and just need to lower the quality

[queen lance]

Guess i just gotta cut back on the ammount of hints im showing.
Thanks Mate.

[versed timber]

Ye

What are you doing anyways?

[queen lance]

Was using

https://discord.com/channels/656673194693885975/1194660775156011008

https://discord.com/channels/656673194693885975/1273021006054948944

plus a custom hud

All using hints so yeah too much for it

[versed timber]

That should not be that much tho

Are u using the newest version of hint service meow?

Because he added new version

[queen lance]

Sorry fixed it it’s those 3
Effect display
Useful hints
And a hud

[queen lance]

Yea

[versed timber]

Still should be alright

[queen lance]

It goes fine for a while but later into the round it pops up
Get like 25-35 players

[versed timber]

We need Fansh ⚠️

[queen lance]

Hah

[deft turret]

emmmm

I don't really know why,

[deft turret]

It might be plugin's issue instead of HSM, but I'm not sure. If you the bug occurs again please let me know.

[queen lance]

Yeah just comes up later into the rounds
It comes up and spams console
Might be cause of the amount of hints that are shown and over time it’s too much for it
Or it’s cause I’m on Beta
Idk

[split quiver]

why there is no duration hint option?

I mean, it would be nice to add like 3 seconds of Hint. I mean, not if it's the same as normal hints.

[deft turret]

you can use PlayerDisplay::RemoveAfter or Hint::HideAfter

Or use Player::ShowHint() directly and HSM will adapt it automatically.

@split quiver

[tacit shell]

Any solution for this? I use respawn timer and even if I move the lines up or down it's still there and also the tracks disappear very quickly about 1-1.5 seconds

I use this to disable but it doesn't work

I already tried with the normal and complete name and nothing works

@deft turret

Hmmm but the Dynamic Hint seems to make no error

[versed timber]

This was not updated to 14.0 @barren quiver

[barren quiver]

Hmmm will it be?

[versed timber]

100% but 14.0 is still in open beta so maybe when it is stable, cant speak for Fansh tho if he wants he'll update it to 14.0

[barren quiver]

ah okay todays the day of the main release anyways soo
but the Dynamic hint makes no errors so i can try using it in 14.0

[barren quiver]

    public void ShowMeowHint(Player player, string text, float x, float y, float delay)
    {
        var dynamicHint = new DynamicHint
        {
            Text = $"{text}",
            TargetY = y,
            TargetX = x,
        };

        PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(player);
        playerDisplay.RemoveAfter(dynamicHint, delay);
    }

Also is this peak C#??!??!?!

[versed timber]

wait is it really releasing from open to normal now?

[barren quiver]

yup 21 UTC +1 time

[versed timber]

so 13.5 wont be here I guess?

that sucks

[barren quiver]

You really hate the new Hcz?

[versed timber]

no I hate updating plugins

[versed timber]

Imagine making new interface for hints

[barren quiver]

I... Im... imagine?

You know what... else we could imagine?

[versed timber]

what?

[barren quiver]

If we both got LOW TAPERR FADEE

[barren quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[versed timber]

Embed faaaaaail

[barren quiver]

keep yourself safe❤️ 😈

[versed timber]

also

in the Player

add this Player player

[barren quiver]

ah okaay

[versed timber]

(this Player player, string text, float x, float y, float delay)

[barren quiver]

yes yes okay

[versed timber]

you can then use it as

ev.Player.ShowMeowHint("Text", 100f, 100f, 1);

[rotund marlin]

Wth is a fentanyl reactor doin in exiled

[barren quiver]

its says it can only used in static hints, and now its saying it cant be

[versed timber]

Bro we need the fentanyl

[barren quiver]

Stop

Im at peak engineering

[versed timber]

make every class and method public static

[rotund marlin]

False ❌

U gotta make the class and the method

Not all methods

[versed timber]

what is the loree below Fentanyl Reactor

?

[barren quiver]

okay

[versed timber]

Its goated to have all methods so you dont have to do weird shit

[barren quiver]

Uhm... some Scientists are angry at the foundation and need fent

[rotund marlin]

Im taking the idea for my server and remaking the nuclear reactor to fentanyl reactor

[barren quiver]

the Fentanyl reactor also has an intergrated auto nuke

As i said, Peak engineering

[rotund marlin]

That causes a trip for everyone on site?

[versed timber]

I saw Tristan work on Fentanyl reactor in SL with custom map

[barren quiver]

No no just blow em up after a random size

[barren quiver]

Hes working with me on it

We both need Fentanyl

a Massive amount

                Text = $"{text}",
                TargetY = y,
                TargetX = x,
            };

            PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(player);
            playerDisplay.RemoveAfter(dynamicHint, delay);
        }
    }
}

I just added another c# script and now it works i guess

[versed timber]

why dont you make interface?

wait no that would be stupid

[barren quiver]

now i can perfectly use player.ShowMeowHint("kys", 5, 5, 5f);

[old wraith]

HSM is ready to use in 14.0 Beta during I also using it too

Also stop using Respawntimer. it's broken on 14.0 during Team has changed.

[barren quiver]

Well my code aint working

[barren quiver]

using Exiled.API.Features;
using HintServiceMeow.Core.Extension;
using HintServiceMeow.Core.Models.Hints;
using HintServiceMeow.Core.Utilities;

namespace Fentanyl_ReactorUpdate.API.Extensions 
{
    public static class PlayerExtensions
    {
        public static void ShowMeowHint(this Player player, string text)
        {
            var dynamicHint = new DynamicHint
            {
                Text = $"{text}",
                TargetY = Plugin.Singleton.Config.GlobalYHintAchses,
                TargetX = Plugin.Singleton.Config.GlobalXHintAchses,
                FontSize = Plugin.Singleton.Config.GlobalHintSize,
            };

            PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(player);
            playerDisplay.RemoveAfter(dynamicHint, Plugin.Singleton.Config.GlobalHintDuration);
        }
    }
}

And i installed HSM with MeowLogWriter and the Harmory part

[old wraith]

Just to verify Latest version of HSM is worked btw

[barren quiver]

Well how?
My code didn't gave me any hints, but the basic exiled hints worked

[old wraith]

Well I used the latest one. and it's work really fine.

[barren quiver]

could you give me smth of your code so i can check? just the hint part

[old wraith]

I only used HSM and CUIM

[barren quiver]

CUIM?

[old wraith]

CustomUIMeow with fixed version I already push to github

[old wraith]

For version 14 Full release there was some need to fix. I still testing on my prod server.

[forest coral]

how to install that?

[barren quiver]

@deft turret Hello could you update it to 14.0?

[deft turret]

I have just realized that ppl have most problem when I'm busy

[deft turret]

Yes I think it is usable in 14.0

just update your HSM and it should be all fine

[barren quiver]

yeah i see, everything works so sorry

[deft turret]

It's fine

[coarse sun]

@deft turret Question
Can i integrate this dependency via Fody Weavers into plugin?

[coarse sun]

why this not work

 var dynamicHint = new DynamicHint
 {
     Text = $"{string.Format(UsefulHints.Instance.Config.Scp207HintMessage, scp207Effect.Intensity)}",
 };
 PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(ev.Player);
 playerDisplay.RemoveAfter(dynamicHint, 4);

RemoveAfter not work

[versed timber]

You didn't add the hint

playerDisplay.AddHint before the RemoveAfter

[coarse sun]

when i do this hint stays permanently

[coarse sun]

here is only removeafter

[coarse sun]

@deft turret

playerDisplay.AddHint(hint);
playerDisplay.RemoveAfter(hint, 4);```

Remove after is bugged

or it works differently than I think it does

[ocean nimbus]

I just use Timing.CallDelayed

and remove the hint

this is more or less how it works in HSM too

[coarse sun]

Why for me version for exiled caused this

[slender crown]

Wrong Chat

[coarse sun]

it's only when I have hint service meow

[old wraith]

It's fucking Cedmod issue

[barren ocean]

umm so i have this error like 30 times a second

thats my code

[barren ocean]

its more like 100 per second

1 error every 10ms

[barren ocean]

alright i dont think that my plugin does this

[versed timber]

Could you provide more information to this?

[barren ocean]

i dont think my plugin is causing the issues, i think its #1321118370195574785

there is another person with the same problem

[versed timber]

@deft turret if you have time look at it thank u

[oak elm]

Hey meow something to ask the allignment is only available for hints that are not dynamic, for dynamic ones?

[pulsar halo]

How do you make the text do a \n if its too long automatically ? because rn it merges in the same line

[versed timber]

You can make every word into an array and after X words put a \n manually

[ocean nimbus]

that's bad

[versed timber]

Ok

[deft turret]

Sorry that I have not replied to any messages recently. I went back to China, and it was kinda hard for me to access Discord. Now, I will(hopefully) gradually start handling stuff.

[deft turret]

Yes that's true. Alignment is only available for the non-dynamic one

[deft turret]

What happened?

[deft turret]

Can you please give me the full error log?

[barren ocean]

it turned out that this code wasnt causing the issues, it was #1321118370195574785 plugin HSM version

[oak elm]

And for doing same with them?

[deft turret]

I see

[deft turret]

No? I think the dynamic hint does not support alignment for now.

[coarse sun]

I try display hint and use remove after to delete hint after X seconds but this not work

[deft turret]

One possibility is that you call the method multiple times within X seconds. Every time you call that method for the same hint, you will reset it's countdown

[pulsar halo]

i did for character lenght rn

[pulsar halo]

how would you do it then ?

becasue yeah 😭

[ocean nimbus]

that's why I said it's bad

I did it by character length and words

if the amount of characters is satisfied for one line

[pulsar halo]

yeah i did character lenght rn

[ocean nimbus]

then it adds \n before the first word

[pulsar halo]

but if i change size of hint

[ocean nimbus]

which goes over it

if one doesn't exist

I just put it inside a wkdd5

word

[pulsar halo]

i just need to keep this hint consistent size then

thanks

[pulsar halo]

Is changing the Ycoordinate of a hint should affect every player thats has that hint ?

i add the hint to the player display of differents players and i have logic to move the hint around, but it should be independent for every players, how can i do that ?

okay i fixed it nvm

[deft turret]

[pulsar halo]

I accidently made my hud on previous version, and updating it to latest make the whole thing not work at all 😭

[fallen musk]

hey I got a weird bug, I've made a hint that (when it has text) becomes bold via inserting <b> and </b> to the start and end, however, this is changing another hint that's shown seperately to the player that shouldn't be bold

[deft turret]

Check if the </b> tag is correctly added.

and check if every <b> has a corresponding </b>.

If a hint is affected by a tag in another hint, then the end tag is probably not added correctly.

[fallen musk]

so does this have an issue or no?

(this is a static string in an AutoText)

[deft turret]

One problem with it could be that you are keep adding bold to a same string.

like

<b></b> => <b><b></b></b> => <b><b><b></b></b></b>

[fallen musk]

Hmm, alright, I’ll double check that nothing else in the strung is bold

[fallen musk]

well, this works, why? I blame TMP being a goofy goober sometimes

(most likely its the fact the tag is on a new line by itself)

[deft turret]

I have no idea why that didn't works and now do. If you have udpated the HSM, it is probably because some minor update in the Rich Text Parser

[rapid blade]

i have the Problem of Hints dissapearing directly after they show when the round started

and they reapear

because of auto Text

@deft turret could you help me with that ???

They just keep poping up and dissapearing

in the lobby everything works

perfectly

[rapid blade]

also spectator works

but nor playable character

[deft turret]

it could be because of NW's hint

If you pick up ammo and you reach your maximum ammo capacity, then it will give you a hint. This hint is unstoppable from the server. I think it's the client side. As a result, it might make the hint disappear.

If this is not the case, can you give me your code or a video of how the hint disappears?

[rapid blade]

Itsss all good dw i figured it out evantually

It was the spectator system which was still on the Server

It is just spaming empty hint on every player all the time

Sryyy to spam while the error was on my end the whole time

[deft turret]

nice

[rapid blade]

But i cant get the Hints further to the Left with Meow ??

the furthest left it goes

idk whyy

[fallen musk]

use Alignment = HintAlignment.Left,

well, it looks like you're already doing it, so idk then tbh

[versed timber]

That looks absulutely fire

[rapid blade]

thxx ^^

[rapid blade]

yeah already doing it but it aint going further also when i set CoordinatY to -1500

the max negative Y seems to be -1000

[fallen musk]

you need to change the X coordinate

[rapid blade]

I meant X i am sryy

[versed timber]

You don't have the alignment to left

If you would have that thing should work

[rapid blade]

why do u would thin that it works

how is the alignement getting the width of the Player screen ???

that should not even ork

work

alignt Left is as far as i know that the Texts is not centered on every Line but it is aligned (so it is left Bound

then U have Hint X coordinat

so if i set it to -1000

it is like this

if i Try to set it fruther to the right f.e. -1500

then it is still at this position

float _xpos = -1000;
if(Xpos.TryParseToFloat(out var xpos2)){_xpos = xpos2;};
Hint hint = new()
{
FontSize = 20,
LineHeight = 10,
AutoText = update => ToString(),
Id = this.Id,
YCoordinate = 150,
Alignment = HintAlignment.Left,
XCoordinate = _xpos,
SyncSpeed = HintSyncSpeed.Normal

        };

the Variable is for User Specific settings

but it doesnt matter

[versed timber]

Because for me and others it was like that

[versed timber]

Can you make test hint on verified if it will work normally?

[deft turret]

Alignment = left
XCoordinate = -360

That usually works. If not, try XCoordinate = 360

[rapid blade]

Thxxx ill tryyy

[rapid blade]

That should probably work scince when i did it with plain hints at least for 16:9 monitors <pos=-360> did work :)

Ill let u know tmm ^^

[deft turret]

I see.

[rapid blade]

But it is pretty strange (i couldnt try it yet)
But right now XCoordinate is set to -1000

Why is it there on the Screen xD

I will also make the XCoordinate Player based so the Player can set it to a specific Coordinate so it can fill any screen no matter if 16:9 or 4:3

^^

[deft turret]

V5.4 Pre-release has been released with support for LabAPI
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.4-prerelease

Please install this version only when you have LabAPI on your server. Make sure to back-up the old version before update

[deft turret]

Nice

Please tell me if there's any problem

[rapid blade]

It works perfectly fine

Just tbh i am not sure if anyone can help or test this out but i am not sure if the Hint system might cause some serious server crashes :/

I dont have any proof or furthermore incould not in anyway say that it is the Hint system but since we are a big Server we habe a lot of Players and we are rn experiencing some crashes which are related to the game giving no heartbeat

And we updated many things so i could tell that it is the hint system

But it is the only thing with major changes and an harmony patch

Idk if u had simmilar issues ???

[deft turret]

I did not encountered similar issue. But I will keep checking it.

Thank you for your report

[rapid blade]

Okiii thxxx ^^

Because i really like Meow Hints

Ngl

[fallen musk]

cats r epic

[deft turret]

true

[rapid blade]

Meow ^^

[deft turret]

[rapid blade]

could it be the same bug as with ruel i read somewhere that mer+ ruel crashes the server maybe it also does with hsm

btw i still dunno if there is any issue but i did some cool stuff with hsm xD

[deft turret]

I see

Thank for your hep

[rapid blade]

If it helps the cpu usage goes down to 20% memory usage doesnt change much

It more likely Something network related like with the messages or dirty bits or idk (the crashes look similar to what i achived by sending single ppl wrong messages. But it happens to everybody (not 100% sure if it is hsm tho xD

[versed timber]

I have a suggestion for you

Make the blue at the timer (last image) little lighter

[rapid blade]

good idea ^^ ill look up some colors to match the team colors :)

i also just amde a cooldown somewhat ill test it later

[rapid blade]

btw HSM works perfectly fine the crashes were related to other issues ^^

one more Question tho ??

is the performance of the Update method good ??

or shall i just use a coroutine if i want to update multiple Hints at once

if i want fe to update spectator hints shall i write a coroutine or give every Player (autoHint)

[versed timber]

Auto hint uses coroutines already it's up to you what you want

[rapid blade]

Does every hint have its own corroutine or is it one coroutine

An what would be more performance wise better

Because either u only have one coroutine raht updates all texts at once or u have them updated seperately but have many coroutines ???

[versed timber]

No it has one coroutine

No need for more

[rapid blade]

Kk

[fallen musk]

Fansh, are you gonna update HSM to work with no hint limit when 14.1 comes out?

[deft turret]

It's already pre-released
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.4-prerelease

[deft turret]

WDYM

[deft turret]

Most parts of HSM are pretty efficient. But if you want to ensure efficiency, please avoid using DynamicHint and plugins that are not compatible with HSM.

[rapid blade]

Okayy 👌

[fallen musk]

I was just curious cuz I never heard you say anything on it but ty ❤️

[old sundial]

Does HintServiceMeowda support the ability to show more than one hint on the screen at the same time?

[fallen musk]

uh yes, that's the whole point of it

[deft turret]

Yes

[deft turret]

V5.3.14 has been released with bug fixing:
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.3

Please back up your older version before updating to the new version! If you have any issues, please let me know on the Discord server.

[fading sparrow]

public static float GetLeftXPosition(float _aspectRatio)
{
    return (622.27444f * Mathf.Pow(_aspectRatio,3f)) + (-2869.08991f * Mathf.Pow(_aspectRatio, 2f)) + (3827.03102f * _aspectRatio) - 1580.21554f;
}

Useful function to approximate this position for any Resolution/Aspect Ratio, good for compatibility since not everyone plays in 16:9

Just pass in the ReferenceHub.aspectRatioSync.AspectRatio and it should give you relatively close positioning that matches this UI placement on the bottom left

Hint.Alignment = Alignment.Left;
Hint.XCoordinate = GetLeftXPosition(Player.ReferenceHub.aspectRatioSync.AspectRatio);

if the Right side of the screen really is just 348 (left side with padding is -348) these calculations are for padded coordinates, then just multiply the output by -1 for the same effect on the other side

[oak elm]

the y coordinate don't change or they can be calculated?

[fading sparrow]

Y coordinate is always 0-1080

by design its a square so that you never worry about fitting hints on the screen

[amber sleet]

what scripts should I look at to see how the plugin reads the hints to display and converts it to the actual hint text?

[deft turret]

https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/blob/4fc46793ffe2130992fcd23d6bf2c938b5b2d80f/HintServiceMeow/Core/Utilities/Parser/HintParser.cs#L23
Start from here

https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/blob/4fc46793ffe2130992fcd23d6bf2c938b5b2d80f/HintServiceMeow/Core/Utilities/Parser/HintParser.cs#L63

Or here if you only care about how it place a line of text on a certain position

[simple latch]

fyi I do not think right align is possible
unless you do it for each character separately
I looked at TMP source code months ago and never got true right side text to work without doing it for each character individually
doing pos 348 + Right align does not work and just behaves as regular right align

[versed timber]

Ye you need every character individually to get them wherever you want

[simple latch]

yeah that's what I said

which just isn't efficient

[versed timber]

That is how I made it mainly with medical system

[versed timber]

Summarized

[versed timber]

Tell Hubert to fix SL hints

[simple latch]

you mean fix TMP

which has gotten abandoned for the most part by Unity after they bought it

[versed timber]

The box containing the hints

[simple latch]

the box containing hints is 4:3 on purpose so right align text is visible on low resolutions

[versed timber]

Northwood Studios will buy it back bro and make it better

Trust

[fading sparrow]

average richtext moment

[solid echo]

@deft turret i don't know if this is intended but when you change your item all hints get cleared

[fallen musk]

Dude it’s likely just another plugin calling Player::ShowHint(); lmao. That’s a skill issue on your end

[solid echo]

its not 😭

[fallen musk]

I bet Fansh is gonna tell you the same thing lmao

[solid echo]

i only have 2 plugins 😭

HSM and my plugin

which uses HSM religiously

[fallen musk]

Well the only issues I’ve had with hint clearing are base game hints

There should be no reason hints are getting cleared

[versed timber]

that is not how HSM works

[versed timber]

he did not update HSM in long time

[fallen musk]

@deft turret When can we get a version of HSM for the 14.1 beta?

[queen harbor]

^^

ahah

[fallen musk]

I’m using a different branch I found on the HSM GitHub repo, so we’ll see if it works once the public beta releases

[split quiver]

(ik, im just sending error)

[fallen musk]

^ either wait for updated release or find Fansh's beta branch and try to build that

[deft turret]

It could be base game hint. The hint that tellilng you something like "You reach the item limit"

[deft turret]

It's already there

Pre-release 5.4.1

[deft turret]

Try 5.4.1

[old wraith]

okay thank I will update to prelease one

[deft turret]

[old wraith]

Update. It's worked.

[deft turret]

[deft turret]

I am renaming V5.4.1 to V5.4.0 beta 1 to conform to the standard rule of pre-release versions. In the future, instead of updating the file under the tag of the older version, I will give a tag to every new version.

[deft turret]

V5.4.0 Beta 2 has been released
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.4.0-beta.2

This version has Breaking Changes and is only applicable when using LabAPI

Please back up your older version before updating to the new version! If you have any issues, please let me know on the Discord server(and if applicable, pull up an issue on Github).

[brisk terrace]

Hi. Is it possible to use HSM to display the round time, or are these static hints?

[versed timber]

it is very possible

[brisk terrace]

Thank you. I'm going to use the usual hints.

[fallen musk]

Bro is not a knower 💀

[deft turret]

V5.4.0 has been released
this version is identical to the V5.4.0 Beta 2
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.4.0

Please tell me if there's any issue.

[deft turret]

BTW this version is made for 14.1.0

If you want to develop plugin using LabAPI and your version of HSM does not support LabAPI, you should switch to this verison.

[solid echo]

is there like a way to completely remove HSM from touching a plugin?

like HSM fucks up the ProjectMER toolgun UI by moving down the hint below your screen

with HSM enabled and projectMER on disabled compat

HSM disabled

[forest coral]

There is a option in config

[solid echo]

which option?

[forest coral]

@solid echo

[solid echo]

thats what i did

i put ProjectMER

[versed timber]

I think it is case sensitive

the assembly name

[solid echo]

i checked with the GetCompatAssemblyName

[versed timber]

if it has capital P try that

[solid echo]

exactly ProjectMER

[solid echo]

i did that

rn i believe its something i can patch with MER so it works with HSM

[versed timber]

I see

[rapid blade]

Just use console ^^ with project mer

[solid echo]

yeah but i like tool gun :(

and if i can fix it with a patch i will

[versed timber]

or just decompile mer reference HSM use the hints and again compile it

[solid echo]

i might just patch it to use broadcasts instead

since using hints just fucks up things

[versed timber]

broadcasts don't override btw

[solid echo]

oh yeah

ill just make the patch use HSM then

I FIXED IT!!!

i am pro patcher

i attached the patch
and here is also the extension i use for HSM

public static void ShowTemporaryHint(this Player player, AbstractHint hint, float duration = 5f)
{
if (player == null)
return;

PlayerDisplay playerDisplay = PlayerDisplay.Get(player);
playerDisplay.AddHint(hint);
Timing.CallDelayed(duration, () => playerDisplay.RemoveHint(hint));

}

pprobably not the best but its the toolgun

its rarely used

[split quiver]

why hint service meow doesnt have tempororay hint ?

[solid echo]

it does but it doesnt work for me

so i just made an extension for myself

[split quiver]

yeah me too

almost never works properly

[solid echo]

that extension just does that and also does the playerDisplay thing for me

just to be a bit handier

[split quiver]

@deft turret can you add new add hint method like AddHint(this Player player, AbstractHint hint, float duration) ?

I don't know how this was not added until now, but it is the simplest thing needed.

[rotund marlin]

<@&771424116900757504> @cobalt storm whats yall thoughts on this plugin?

[solid echo]

peak

[light charm]

peak, much better and easier than ruei

[deft turret]

Did you try RemoveAfter? Somebody says it's broken, but it always works on my computers for some reason.

PlayerDisplay::RemoveAfter

[split quiver]

Its broken

Most of the time it doesn't work

Can't you just give a hint insertion method with duration, like in the base game, this is really necessary

[coarse sun]

How to place hint into edge of screen?

max left or right?

[rapid blade]

Not sure depends on the resolution

Try 380

And -380 i think

Not sure anymore tho

[coarse sun]

As if the area is limited and align left setting does not work

[rapid blade]

Allign left

Is for all the new lines starting at the left

And the ypos

Is for the position on the screen

For 16:9 monitory ypos= -380 or -360

Or sth is on the left side

[coarse sun]

I explain

[oak elm]

you cannot know

if i have a 16:9 its like that

but if i have another resolution

it doesn't work

[oak elm]

yes and i explained why

you don't know 100%

[rapid blade]

Youuu are tooo much too the left

That tooo hogh

High

[rapid blade]

Make it lower

On what do you have y pos right noe ???

It is too much

[coarse sun]

It's just align left

I tried -1000 and result is same

I mean cord X

[rapid blade]

Dont do that

Xou need to do -360

Or -380

Not sure

Everything more will result in standart pos again

[coarse sun]

Idk

As ZeroTwo says, this is probably impossible

[versed timber]

it was only broken for people not updating HSM
@solid echo

also @deft turret do you think it would be possible to get in future hints updating on players resolution?

[rapid blade]

Indid it its not impossible

[rapid blade]

I dont think thats realistic

But on my server i just made an command where they can set their resolution

(because its server sided indont think you can force a player to send you their resoltion

But you can just make a command tfor them to set the x pos themselves

Just in it goes in a database with all player setting

Problem solved ;)

[versed timber]

the resolution can be accsessed through referenceHub of player

[rapid blade]

???

reallyy

noo wayy

tff whyy thee hell do they have this feature

whyy the hell did no ione tell me

F in the chat

[rapid blade]

how to convert thoo thats the question now xD

[solid echo]

eh i still prefer having my own extensions even if RemoveAfter works

but RemoveAfter worked weirdly idk what it did

some sort of like threading thing

[versed timber]

it's not very known fact

[rapid blade]

^xD

damm

[oak elm]

Sometimes it doesn’t sync

So

[fallen musk]

Dang I wish I knew this earlier

[fallen musk]

@deft turret I think EXILED n LabAPI n stuff uses a different YamlDotNet version than HSM, could you switch the version next release? (this is also better cuz if HSM tried to reference a newer feature, it wouldn't work on servers)

[fallen musk]

also how can I update a hint every tick? Does SyncSpeed.Fastest already do that or nah?

[deft turret]

OK

[deft turret]

You can, but there might be 1-2 ticks delay for the actual update since I used multithread to convert hint.

[deft turret]

Yes, in V5.5

[fallen musk]

Alright, I was just wondering if SyncSpeed.Fastest was well, the fastest. So how do you up the speed?

[deft turret]

SyncSpeed.Fastest will schedule the update immediately after you update the hint. The convert task will start the next frame, and the converted text will send to the player one frame after that.

So there will be 2 frames delay for SyncSpeed.Fastest

[deft turret]

Please tell me if the problem continue exist in V5.4.0

[deft turret]

No, I don't think that make any difference with PlayerDisplay::RemoveAfter

[fallen musk]

But how does HSM know the hint updated?

[deft turret]

public float YCoordinate
{
    get
    {
        Lock.EnterReadLock();
        try
        {
            return _yCoordinate;
        }
        finally
        {
            Lock.ExitReadLock();
        }
    }
    set
    {
        Lock.EnterWriteLock();
        try
        {
            if (_yCoordinate.Equals(value))
                return;

            _yCoordinate = value;
            OnHintUpdated("YCoordinate");
        }
        finally
        {
            Lock.ExitWriteLock();
        }
    }
}

protected virtual void OnHintUpdated(string argumentName)
{
    _analyser.OnUpdate();

    PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(argumentName));
}

Any change in property will invoke PropertyChanged event.

Which is bind to PlayerDisplay

[fallen musk]

So coordinate changes are 2 tick delay but what about AutoText?

[deft turret]

It update based on the delay you set in AutoContentUpdateArg

if you set NextUpdateDelay to 0.1 seconds, it will update after 0.1 seconds.

If you set it shorter than 1 frame, it will update the next frame

[deft turret]

You can now install the HSM from Nuget

I found a website that can generate analyzes for GitHub projects.
It might not be totally correct, but pretty much usable in my opinion.

[rapid blade]

have one question

how can i update hinttext of an hint just after soime time ?

[coarse sun]

AutoText

And set Hint Sync Speed

[rapid blade]

nah i dont want it to be an auto hint

ijust want to update the hint one time if i need it

i could delete it and give it back ofc

but also there is this ?

hint.TryUpdateHint(

[rapid blade]

you know anythign about that ?

[coarse sun]

look at #1375454876808511528 code

Just create hint with autotext and sync speed and add this hint for player using event

[rapid blade]

nah we have that if needed but i only want to update the hint when i need to like if the player takes a pill i instead of making a new hint or using something like dynamic hints i just want to change the hint ttext to add a line break

and then remove this text again so wenn you get multiple Hints they will all just add to the text with /n

[rapid blade]

can i use auto Hint and dont have sync speed and manually update it ?

[coarse sun]

I don't know, I haven't tested

[coarse sun]

I think you can create normal hint for that on UsedItem and remove after X seconds

[rapid blade]

yes and now if they use multiple i want to add to the hint text instead of giving them another Hint

UnSync

[coarse sun]

I'm not that advanced in HSM so I don't know

maybe create function if player do something then add string for your original hint and on event Remove That hint and Add

[rapid blade]

yeah but i think actually that you can set it to no syn (the auto hint) and then force updates yourself when you want to

@deft turret

because i thinkt you actually implemented exactly this ig

just to dumm to use it

xD

[coarse sun]

examples in the HSM repository are very limited

shows only create Simple hint and ui common hint

[rapid blade]

yeah but its actually pretty fine tbh (compare it to others xD)

and well ill just Remove them for now and add them again

[coarse sun]

Unsync make sense
/// <summary>
/// This hint will not automatically sync when updated
/// It will still be sync when other hints are updated
/// </summary>
UnSync = 32,

But idk how it works

[rapid blade]

can you make the Hint font more "thic"

[rapid blade]

kk

but still it would update often because if other things on the server so ill look into it another time xD

[coarse sun]

<b> html tag work

[versed timber]

do you think .css for hints would be interesting?

[last copper]

There’s a scale tag if I am not mistaken

[versed timber]

too late

[deft turret]

You can try set Hint::Hide to true to hide it and set it to false whenever you want to show it again. If that's what you are looking for.
Or if you mean that you want to update a hint after a certain amount of time, you can do either:

1. Use AutoText and set the UpdateDelay or DefaultUpdateDelay to amount of time you want to delay
2. Use MEC

[rapid blade]

I btw just found out the setter for the hint text work whenever so you cab just change the text of the Hint so you dont need any update class

I will just abb hints to an existing one with +"/n text"

So it will go in the next line and just delete things ous of the string to move every thing in the hinttext up a notch

And it works like a charm

[deft turret]

Nice

[deft turret]

@coarse sun

[versed timber]

hey Fansh can you take look about the problem with marks?

My theory is you somehow save information in the class to make your system more optimized and are saving attribute of mark called padding weirdly

I can provide you today with more information

[fallen musk]

how does the TextWidth file you made work Fansh?

I'm trying to open it to do some rigorous text scaling and I wanted to use the values in there as a base value but idk how to open it

[oak elm]

If i remember correctly ruei did it

[deft turret]

It's a zip file. Don't use it. It is not accurate.

I mean look at his roles it's crazy

[deft turret]

No that is a test

DO NOT use that version

I was testing GitHub action

[small geyser]

Sigma roles 😎

Hi, @deft turret. I think the installation section of the readme should be updated. It says about PluginAPI which got replaced by LabApi.

[deft turret]

I see

[deft turret]

I will update it later

[coarse sun]

@deft turret This 0Harmony.dll is target to LabAPI version? or Exiled too

[deft turret]

It should be the same version the LabAPI is using.

[deft turret]

V5.4.3 has been released with bug fixing

Please back up your older version before updating to the new version!
If you have any issues, please let me know on the Discord server (and if applicable, pull up an issue on GitHub).

BTW I don't know why github action doesn't work. I will check it later. Sorry that I messed up tags...

[rapid blade]

Heyy will we see this as a feature in hint service meow soon ??? - Added a new hint parameter that allows plugin devs to animate hints by inserting animatable values in tags.

[fallen musk]

brother you can't be asking for features not technically even public smh

we don't even know how that parameter's gonna work

[pulsar halo]

Well its public in some ways you just cant test it on client yet

[coarse sun]

@deft turret It's some breaking changes? My plugin stopped work

[rapid blade]

i only wanted to ask if she will be planing on trying it out

because it sound interessting

[rapid blade]

where can i find the resolution ??

can you tell me ^^

nvm

foudn it

[versed timber]

@deft turret ?

[rapid blade]

would be cool

[rapid blade]

btw are you using Owner.ReferenceHub.aspectRatioSync.XScreenEdge

or this
Owner.ReferenceHub.aspectRatioSync.AspectRatio

@versed timber

[versed timber]

aspect ratio ain't going to be it you'll get like 16:20 type thing

[versed timber]

that should be it

[rapid blade]

server crashes after upgrading to the new version

but thats with all new versions

???

how can i fix it

[coarse sun]

something is broken

[rapid blade]

very much

server crashes after someone joined

but i expect it to be a fault on the server rn

[coarse sun]

for me #timers and #1375454876808511528 doesn't work

[rapid blade]

i upgraded harmony in the dependencies

[coarse sun]

to which version?

[rapid blade]

to the one meow put online

in 5.4.2

[coarse sun]

I used it too and hints not work for me

[rapid blade]

my server just crashess

[coarse sun]

I mean 0Harmony.dll from 5.4.2

[rapid blade]

or no

i am just getting disconnected now

[deft turret]

Wait what feature are you talking about?

[deft turret]

Can you show me the error? I will check it later.

Please turn back to V5.4.2 if you encountered issues

[deft turret]

Yes. As soon as I fix the bugs in current version

[deft turret]

I see. Please downgrade to older version if that happen. Can you show me the error?

[rapid blade]

the problem is that there is no error at all

but it happens probably on verified

or player join

and for me it is on any new version

I use HintServiceMeow -Exiled

[deft turret]

Well I will withdraw this release

It is too bad

Sry about that.

[deft turret]

V5.4.4 has been released with bug fixing
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.4.4
Please back up your older version before updating to the new version!
If you have any issues, please let me know on the Discord server (and if applicable, pull up an issue on GitHub).

[coarse sun]

@deft turret It is possible to make native Exiled hint eg. Max heal Item pickup or weapon make compability with hsm?

[quick bolt]

Probably with a lot of patching

[fallen musk]

I think this already happens?

HSM works wonders with Exiled CI hints so I've got to imagine HSM is doing something

[amber sleet]

HSM patches all native hints, but also has special patches for custom item hints i think

I think it has something to do with method signature or something because i have a special hint method in my plugin which uses ::ShowHint and it deletes the previous instance when it updates

But the custom items have different hints for selecting and picking up custom items

[rapid blade]

whatt am i doing wrong

i update to the new version

instant as soion as i join the server crash the server restarts

[rapid blade]

it still not works if i put the file into Lab api

then it doesnt crash the server

bnut the methods are not referenced c orrectly

so do i have to switch to lapapi ???

why is exiled not working ?

[coarse sun]

use 5.4.2

[rapid blade]

I am using an old version rn thxxx

But thee problems are still zhere like that some auto uints wont go away after removing them usw

Like what should have been fixed

[versed timber]

I haven't had issues with that

[fallen musk]

@deft turret idk why but I feel like recently, the line breaks in my hints don't work anymore and I don't know why. I think it's HSM and I'm wondering if HSM might have some tags that'd break line breaks? I tried prefixing my hints with "</nobr><line-height=100%>" but it didn't seem to change anything

[coarse sun]

Idk but sometimes hint are not refreshing for players

Guy is alive and display timers and hud for spectators

[fallen musk]

did you set sync speed to be high?

[coarse sun]

maybe

some hints refreshing hight or highest

[coarse sun]

@deft turret
If you could check please because in 5.4.4 people still have issue with hint staying forever

In 5.4.2 work good

[velvet raptor]

@deft turret Dumb question but is it possible to have hints display for all players, like when starting Warhead

[fallen musk]

Just… add a hint to everybody…

(And give it to people who join too while nuke is on n stuff)

[velvet raptor]

I genuinely can't figure it out :/

[fallen musk]

💀

[fallen musk]

yo @deft turret check this out: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/Manual/async-await-support.html

Unity 6 has a class for async stuff

I wonder if HSM would be more performant with it

[versed timber]

does SL use Unity 6?

[fallen musk]

Now they do

[versed timber]

what .net version though?

[fallen musk]

That’s not how that works

It’ll be in one of Unity’s dlls

[versed timber]

so they didn't bump their version?

still framework 4.8

[fallen musk]

ye I believe

[rapid blade]

how can i now blacklist the plugin Project MER so i still see those hints

[deft turret]

Damn

Guys, sorry for being gone for so long.

[deft turret]

OK

[deft turret]

I don't think there will be a significant performance improvement.

But thx for the recommendation

[fallen musk]

Whenever I say I like HSM tho I get like 3 ppl telling me async in Unity sucks, the lag reduction of offloading content generation to another thread doesn’t exist (I think there was some miscommunication there), and other stuff. It’d be nice to at least use the official Unity async stuff

[deft turret]

Emm yeah I will put it in my memo

But I doubt if I have time this or next month

[deft turret]

Guys, after reviewing the message, I am pleased to see that people are actively discussing HSM in other channels. It's great to see your enthusiasm!

At the same time, I also notice that there are some heated conversations in the discussion. Let's remember that the goal of this community is to create an inclusive, supportive, and friendly environment for all developers. I encourage everyone to stay calm, respectful, and considerate, as we each have our own unique perspectives.

Thank you for helping the community become a more positive and welcoming place!]

<@&771424116900757504>

[versed timber]

you're great Fansh

I like using autohints for my logic instead of coroutines

[deft turret]

[fallen musk]

https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/pull/14 @deft turret

[deft turret]

OK

Thank you for your PR.

Could you accept my friend request? I have some questions about the PR.

[fallen musk]

I did

[kindred merlin]

not bad.

[fallen musk]

I have an interesting idea for this... what if we allowed hint parameters (stuff like "{0}") to HSM with some custom method / handler or something where you add a hint parameter via HSM method, then in your autotexts, you can call a GetParameter method which will spit out the "{0 or 1 or 2 or etc...}" and you can return the value containing that

that way you can actually show people hints of what their SSS keybinds are n stuff (and other things)

[ocean nimbus]

referring to this

for some reason when adding a hint

everything gets pushed away

[versed timber]

that is weird

maybe the \n pushes it

[versed timber]

OOOOOOOH

you used line height andrzej

[ocean nimbus]

how is line height special?

[versed timber]

in HSM not supporting this

you could make multiple hints

it's bad that we don't have some class that would have Hints inside and you could move all of them

[ocean nimbus]

wow

well i just remove all the other hints when this one is active

i aint making even more work arounds

[versed timber]

tbh this is not the best solution

[ocean nimbus]

its not the best

[versed timber]

fair & based

[ocean nimbus]

but i do not want to work on this anymore

every single time im working with nw and their weird implementations of hints and cassie

i get physically sick

[fallen musk]

It should work as HSM sets line height to 0 for positioning, and I think to 1 for actual hints

Otherwise \n would just put the text on the same line overlapping

[deft turret]

V5.5.0 has been released!
https://github.com/MeowServer/HintServiceMeow/releases/tag/V5.5.0
Important: Please back up your older version HSM before upgrading.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on Discord or open an issue on GitHub.

[ocean nimbus]

I assume that my issue was not fixed?

[ocean nimbus]

.

[deft turret]

I think this is because you added a line height that HSM did not correctly removed

I will check hint parser to see why isn't line height tag removed

If you want a temporary fix please remove line-height

[ocean nimbus]

well it's needed for the hint

so I can't do that

[deft turret]

There's a LIneHeight property in hint that mimic the line height tag.

Try set it to negative

BTW there's a documentation error in LineHeight. It says its multiplier but it is actually a direct shift in line height. -10 lineheight should mean -10 px in lineheight

[deft turret]

I'm sorry I just checked it. You cannot set lineheight to negative for now. I will fix this in next version.

[ocean nimbus]

alright

[deft turret]

@deft turret
Sorry to bother you.
Whenever an hint is updated this error appears on the console:
