Is there a way to edit what the game tells you when you die that you can type into the.mis file? I'd also like to know how to edit the "<blank> has been eliminated by <blank2>" messages you see and others. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Look in various files around the game folders. You will find them! ;)

187, you shouldn't give the "good stuff" out to the entire forum world!

If anyone has any serious modding questions just ask. I'm tired of people that want to keep this stuff secret to stay on top. Nothing personal Nathan, but I've answered too many of your questions for you to be telling me not to answer other peoples.

So you are willing to share scripts and other things you worked for hours on?

If so, that Team Infiltrator script should be on the forums soon, eh?

187,

I tried what you said and it didn't work for me. I did type it and it didn't give any error reports, but it didn't show anything.

It is actually centerprintall("Hello there world");

187 will be proud.

Sorry about that. I guess I should take more time to answer questions. There are actually three things to put insite the (). Here's an example.

Centerprintall("whatever you want to say", 5, 1);

The first thing you put is obviously the message. The second is a number, which I have set as 5, is the duration you want it to stay on the screen. The third number is how many lines. I haven't actually needed to use that one yet.

If you want to put the message on an particular individuals screen you do this.

Centerprint(123456, "what you want to say", 5, 1);

This is the same as the centerprint all command only you have to put the person's client number in first. It's usually a five or six digit number and can be found in the console when a client joins your server. One easy way to find it is to open up the console log and do a search for the person's name. Their client number will be a line or two above it. This little method also comes in handy when you want to kick someone off your server. One more command you might want to use is this one.

Clearcenterprintall();

Oh yeah... All of this is the same for bottomprint. Hope this helps.

Where does one find the console log?

To do a dedicated server just go under the folder called "dedicated", double click on wutever mission u want to do and this black screen will come up saying stuff, that shud work.

 

I'd also like to know how to edit the "<blank> has been eliminated by <blank2>" messages you see and others.

 

I'd like to know how to do that and change wut it says wen someone enters and leaves the game, I've looked around but can't find it, plz tell me. Oh...how do u boot people?

It didn't work for me, is there something u have to put in the.mis file first?

What about creating a centerprint that appears automatically when a player joins the server? Like the "Map Submitted by -Z-" message...
