This channel has the ability to make some so-so demos into really fantastic machinima. If I could only get those chat boxes out of the upper left corner and stop the lengthy ones from overlapping.
Does anyone know how to set the onscreen X and Y coordinates for Chat 45?
I saw Synapse do it for Zwill here 34 minutes into the video:

I can't make out exactly what's being typed, and I suspect it may be a different syntax for the demofiles than it was for the dev console if it's even posible to do it in demos.
I've tried every way I can think of to do it. Has anyone actually done it?
Try <t=8 caption x=0.5 y=0.2 d=7><scale 1.75> <color White><bgcolor MidnightBlue>Hello, this is a cutscene caption!
Tried it and I still couldn't get it to work. Could you give me an actual line from a demo you know works?
This is what I tried:
0 4999 chat 45 0 "<t=8 caption x=0.5 y=0.2 d=7><scale 1.75><color White><bgcolor MidnightBlue>An hour ago, the Tyrant's Palace Casino was robbed by a team of four professionals."
