This should be a topic about strange files developers leave in their game folders that are forgotten and have no use.

<bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/filename> for example <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/blueRibbon> shows the blue ribbon.

<bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/filename> for example <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/blueRibbon> shows the blue ribbon.

You can use that in client messages, to use it in chat like Eksi you need some chat effects addon or something.

You ever heard of the Cutting Room Floor wiki? Shows cut content still lingering in the files for most mainstram and other obscure games. Super Mario Galaxy's was the most interesting for me.
