Kill Icon String on Death
Uristqwerty:
export("*") shows a number of interesting globals. For now, look at $DeathMessage_Murder1. Notice that it shows up as \c045 or something similar. That is actually the output of expandEscape(), converting a colour code into \c0, and a tagged string into 45.
dumpConsoleFunctions() reveals
virtual string getTaggedString(int tag) {}
virtual string buildTaggedString(string format, ...) {}
The first one would get the raw text, the second would get a proper death message if you also give it the two player names as extra parameters.
There is probably a Very Good Reason that the server sends the player names seperately, though... (I would guess that network efficiency is at least part of it)
