ASW: Draw Text

[shadow-killer]

Hey guys, I have been having this problem for a while now, where I can't draw text to the HUD, and it never really seems to make any sense to me. There are two different scenarios for this when I try to draw text to the screen.

1. It doesn't draw
2. It draws only when the in-game menu is drawn

Here's how I draw the text:

	wchar_t unicode[6];
	g_pVGuiLocalize->ConstructString( unicode, sizeof( unicode ), L"%d", 1, wpn->Clip1() );

	surface()->DrawSetTextFont(m_ammoFont);
	surface()->DrawSetTextPos(xAbsPos, yAbsPos);
	surface()->DrawPrintText( unicode, wcslen( unicode ) );

I really have NO IDEA why this keeps happening, but there you have it guys!
Thank you all in advance.

Where are you drawing that ? Whats the parent panel ?

Thats pretty weird. I'm not sure what could be the problem. Do you still have the ASW hud showing up ? And did you use a template sdk base, or the skeleton base?

Maybe try naming the class to something else,so we're sure it won't load the settings from the default hudammo.

Its the skeleton base for ASW, I haven't tried renaming it but I'm able to draw Images perfectly on the same HUD element

EDIT: So I tried renaming the class and nothing has changed, I'm currently using the ASW Skeleton base so there's no other HUD to display

EDIT: SOLVED! The .vpk file wasn't being compiled properly so HudLayout.res wasn't being loaded
