This shouldn't be a gamemode
It would be much better to be able to place and view messages in sandbox instead of a dedicated gamemode. I would put a cap on how many messages would be shown on the client(50-ish?) to avoid maps like gm_construct being too flooded by messages to be playable, with the messages being randomly picked from all available messages each reload.

Hey, there is another mod that does this same thing for all game modes.

that's a pretty good addon

I made a few local edits for my own use, and now it works generally. It's basically just some folder reorganisation. To edit addon code, you should know by now how to extract addons with gmad or crowbar.


Remove the player and smoothview files;

Put the gamemode files into a lua folder instead (that will contain an "echoesbeyond" folder);

Put the inits and shared.lua file (the ones that bootstrap the addon's whole loading process) into an autorun folder inside that and edit the shared file accordingly so that the addon loads all the addon's files respecting your new base path.


That's pretty much it. There's some more small things you can configure further, take a look at the files to remove some of the hooks that disable stuff like the scoreboard. The screen overlay vignette is in cl_interface at the end in a HUDPaint hook, etc.
