Can we get a CVAR specifically for the console too please? This tends to get in the way of me debugging stuff when I have a bunch of pickup messages getting in the way.

Changed, although the msglevel CVAR should better be turned into a bitmask for better control.

Thinking about it more, how about we split this into two cvars? One for console, one for messages that appear in the game. That way it's not bound together and people can decide?

I ask this because I'd prefer to have the old behavior back where item pickups do not appear in console, so things like hudmessages are not clogged up. Would you be okay with that, Graf?

I've come to find out that HUDMSG_LOG from ACS's HudMessage is affecting this as well. Someone told me how to fix it so I'll submit it when I'm awake.

Yeah, that setting has always bothered me. It could potentially break mods.

That's the problem: The msg CVAR defies the concept of "normal". The entire message level concept was actually never properly implemented - and why it also applies to the console is a mystery -

Well, can the map printing be completely disassociated with it so it always prints as normal?

My only advice can be to not mess around with the msg CVAR. It does not really do what it claims to do.

Correct. If it's not set on "Item Pickup", it won't display.

maybe it depends on the message level setting somehow.

Odd, I still see it printed out in the console.

That seems to be the result of a recent change by PR. Gonna have to check.

As stated on the tin, when changing levels, the map name is no longer printed out. If anything I think this could be an option.
