Hud: sv_location

[outburst_]

I want my hud to show what server i'm playing on.
I can do it for any server, except russian. The problem is: sv_location shows cvar "RU #2", and

cvarTest sv_location
showCvar {"RU #2"}

doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Actually, the variable is sv_location and "RU #2" - is it's value. Did you try cvar "sv_location"?

Do any of the other servers have the # sign in the name?

Can you also paste the part where it actually outputs this info to the screen?

itemDef { 
	name "Location"
	rect 0 34 72 20 
	textscale .18 
	forecolor 1 1 1 1 
	visible 1 
	type ITEM_TYPE_NUMERICFIELD 
	text "Location:" 
	cvar "sv_location"
	cvarTest "sv_location" 	
	ownerdrawflag CG_SHOW_IF_WARMUP
        }

No, other servers neither have # in their names, nor the space.

itemDef {
		name "srvLocationRU"
		rect 5 30 25 50
		visible 1
		textstyle 3 
		textscale 0.25 
		forecolor 1 1 1 1 
		text "Russia"
		cvarTest sv_location
		showCvar {"RU #2"}
	}

itemDef { 
	name "Location"
	rect 0 34 72 20 
	textscale .18 
	forecolor 1 1 1 1 
	visible 1 
	type ITEM_TYPE_NUMERICFIELD 
	text "Location:" 
	cvar "sv_location"
	cvarTest "sv_location" 	
	ownerdrawflag CG_SHOW_IF_WARMUP
        }

This shows "RU #", when serverinfo shows "RU #2" o_O
But even "RU #" doesn't work.

Well, sometimes it works, sometimes not, sometimes it flashes...
I'll post the whole thing in the next post so you can try it yourselves..

So it works on any server (de, nl, swe), but not on ru
