yea ours is custom, you have to understand CSV files tho

in the bin folder on the server there is the stringtable.csv file its in there

it's two sided tho, some you alter will be client side only and others will be server side (which gives all clients)

the one where guys change how they we're killed is server side done on a clients machine

the conect to stuff is client side, on my client side i have the admin changed to god ect but no one else will see it

for kicking you just look for that exact wording in the file on the server file, becarefull not to touch the commas or the special (%$) values unless you know what you are doing, and she will send that to all the players

you'll see this

KILLED_BLA_, (%$) was killed by (%$), (%$) was killed by (%$), (%$) was killed by (%$), (%$) was killed by (%$)

the 1st part is the string, never change that, the next seperation is done by the comma and you have all the english terms, and the next is french and so on

you can change all the lanugages to what you want it wont make a difference (you'll just change the french guy remarks to english when he is killed ect)

so now you have

KILLED_BLA_, (%$) was slapped by(%$), (%$) was killed by (%$), (%$) was killed by (%$), (%$) was killed by (%$)

so you get: Malboeuf was slapped by russin

same works for the amdin function you want on the server

it's easy but figuring out who sees what messages from the server or a client takes a while but in your case it will owrk

www.theavonlady.org

will have some more info on it, just look for string tables

i would have been more exact but im at work bored out of my tree

ohh and ralphie should show up and slap your hand some time soon since you never did a "forum search" lol

Ralphie should then slap yours aswell for being off-topic

KICKED is not the same as KILLED

Scorpion, i can't tell you atm, but as soon as i'm back home

from work i'm gonna have a look if i find the correct solution

for you.

Maybe in the meanwhile Malbeuf could come up with the

answer for the question you were asking for

If I understand the matter right, you want to change the name of the admin, when someone is kicked, etc? Name being the string before the ':', right?

You can easily do so by creating a new user profile (/ofp/users/yourname) with separate userinfo.cfg file. Upon server start, you should add the "-name=yourname" parameter to the ofpr_server.exe, thus changing the console's name to that of the userprofile which was just loaded.

You can also use multiple userprofiles that way, to start the server with different settings. Like one profile which has the crosshair or externalview disabled in the userinfo.cfg, another which has them enabled, etc..

Hope it helps.
