I just wonder if there is anyway to make it kinda possible ? To alter the msgs to say

angra was sniped in the stomach by emu to be emu [ssg] angra

? just a question

I don't think it is possible without modifying the inner code of aq2. That is some work for a small effort I guess. Talking 'bout effort...

My opinion: this is somewhat stupid. Go ahead and make ActionQuake2 more CounterShit-alike? What's next - turning down the speed? There's a reason we got those nice, long killmessages.

My question: what does that have to do with kill messages?

And no, it's not possible to change them. The kill messages are hardcoded into the server binary, so to change them you would first have to change the tng code, and then get every server to update their tng versions.

A message who killed whom. You could call it a kill message. Quibbler. :Eyeroll:

Since this thread is about making a part of ActionQuake2 more CS-alike (see author's post - his own words) I used this barb/overstatement to question the point of making our (in a positive way) old-fashioned kill messages turn into some ugly thing like this:

.... So how would kill msg's slow the speed down again?! i'm noit understand plz

L0ki its people like you who makes me lose faith in humanity. If your sens and points where beer, i wouldn't even get half a buzz.

Its about some fucking tekst, not slowing the speed and adding B1 or B2 you big flump.

Are you two really that narrow minded?

CS is a pretty slow game. Following?
AQ2 on the other hand isn't. (huh)
People like CS and want to implement some cool lolol stuff into AQ2. (angra wants that kill msgs in AQ2) Still there?
One such 'improvement' leads to another.
We end up having AQ2 too similar to CS. (could become FUCKING SLOW)

I guess your trying to defend you mate or something, because if you believe what you just wrote you can praise yourself happy you whern't born in the 70s Russia. Lobotomizing you would be a dream come true.

I only asked if it was possible, It would in no way effect action quake 2 as a game because as someone allready pointed out there is a hardcode into it which wont be altered. This was a part of it but if it wasn't, why not change it if you want to ?

Nope, only explained them what they didn't understand. Not my fault they can't look at it in a wider perspective.

No shit, if it's not possible it surely can't effect the game - well said.

I don't. Only you noobos do.

thank you, for making the best post in this thread at least

Made Manic can do something in the next tng update, so you can change it if you want. This has nothing to do with the speed of the game or something else, just wanted a more readable killmsg. like some ppl want diffrent huds.
