A Question

Could someone give a quick description of how to make your in-game messages also contain the location where you are?

for example like this:

TOmekki ( Marine Spawn - Cargo Transfer ) : blablablaa

Or, if this has been asked before, could someone link me to the according thread? I used search, but it seems finding the right keywords isn't as easy as one could think. or maybe i just suck.


thanks.

    Its put in there automatically when you use teamsay. However, if you have a colon [:] in your name, it bugs it, and announces you location no matter if you use say or teamsay.

    There are some server side plugins that convert "%h" and "%a" to your numerical health and ammo values when you use them in chat.

    Ie, a key bound to
    "Hey commander, I am dying with %h hit points over here!"
    becomes
    Hey commander, I am dying with 5 hit points over here!"

    HTH.

    Yeah, the game just doesnt put it on your own chat - it assumes you know where you are.

    I had a similar experience commanding. I hate finding the hive when you login, it takes me ages. Then a player joined alliens and said "hi". Resulting in:

    ::someplayername::: (Power Silo): Hi

    Bingo. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you have a colon in your name, your name usually shows up as white instead of the color team you are on I believe.
