HUD - Colour Ranged numbers

[ULTRA Random ViruS]

Say, does anyone know how to colour lagometers, I want it particularly so I'll be able to create a function that puts an alerting red colour on my screen whenever ping exceeds 400 (because unlagged ceases to exist beyond that).
This is the default HUD function that's available to me, given from Meisseli's Hud for 1.1:

Code Select Expand

   //LAGOMETER
   itemDef
   {
     name "lagometer"
     rect 596 25 32 20
     style WINDOW_STYLE_EMPTY
     visible 1
       cvartest meis_infopanel
       showCvar { 1 }
     decoration
     forecolor 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.0
     textscale 0.3
     textalignx 1
     textaligny 0.5
     ownerdraw CG_LAGOMETER
   }
And What I want to do, is give it colour ranges using this function:

Code Select Expand

addColorRange <rangestart> <rangeend> <r> <g> <b> <alpha/transparency>
but it doesn't seem to work for this one if I shove it in the lagometer draw function.

The attachment below is what my hud currently looks like on an impure server*:
(Note: I'm drawing fake ping using a custom client command)

From left to right, top to bottom of the top right of the screen:
Speed [Fake Graph] FPS
Inter/Extrapolation Ping
Clock

unfortunately, there is no such functionality implemented in the cgame module, ie., lagometer colorizing cannot be done by editing HUD files. pingtime-based (or any other programmed) conditional HUD drawing is also not implemented. you'll need to edit the code of the cgame module and compile it; see the CG_DrawLagometer() function in the cg_draw.c file.

It works for health bars though.

What else would it work for without changing the cgame code?

surprizingly, only health, ammo and clips. see the CG_GetValue() function. it would need to return a ping value if

Code Select Expand

ownerDraw == CG_LAGOMETER
(refer to the CG_DrawLagometer() function for the method to get the value).

I probably should start modding again, I haven't touched tremulous code since january
Thanks for the assistance
