You can customize some of the messages you see on screen

[Helen]

With this you can change messages like "You killed Helen" to "You toasted Helen haha!", etc.

First, if you already have a medScoreBoard217.int file in your System folder, you would just add this stuff. Otherwise, first you need to make a medScoreBoard217.int file in your System folder. Then open it up and add this stuff.

[medKillerMessagePlus]
YouKilled=You Killed
YouKilledTrailer=

[medDeathMessagePlus]
KilledString=was killed by

[medFirstBloodMessage]
FirstBloodString=drew first blood!

[medKillingSpreeMessage]
EndSpreeNote='s killing spree was ended by
EndSelfSpree=was looking good till he killed himself!
EndFemaleSpree=was looking good till she killed herself!
spreenote[0]=is on a killing spree!

spreenote[2]=is dominating!
spreenote[3]=is unstoppable!
spreenote[4]=is Godlike!

[medVictimMessage]
YouWereKilledBy=You were killed by
KilledByTrailer=!

So those are the standard text bits. Now you can play with their values as you wish. Here's what I'm going with for the moment

[medKillerMessagePlus]
YouKilled=You toasted
YouKilledTrailer=

[medDeathMessagePlus]
KilledString=was toasted by

[medFirstBloodMessage]
FirstBloodString=spread first jam!

[medKillingSpreeMessage]
EndSpreeNote='s toasting spree was ended by

spreenote[2]=is dominating with 15
spreenote[3]=is unstoppable with 20

[Hook]

int or ini file?

[Helen]

int

Oh, cool, I didn't realize that .int files could set up settings or strings used in mods. Wow.

[Helen]

They are mostly for strings, typically so you can change the language of the strings.

Here's how to see custom messages when you are not on my server (gasp!).

This will generally work unless the server is running a mutator with custom message classes.

You have to go into your System folder, and open the Botpack.int file. Then add this stuff at the bottom:
