New Files Released April 26 2007:
http://files.filefront.com/EnglishNEWzi … einfo.html

Feel free to edit anything. I used Mad Ad's spotted change and middle of the screen change.

Features:
[*]+/- Points are indicated and highlighted.

[*]Kill indication is large and highlighted (who you killed).

[*]Death indication is large and highlighted (who killed you).

[*]Team requests are highlighted and enlarged. Rides, Ammo, Health, Repair requests only.

[*]Explosives are highlighted.

[*]Weapons in teamkills are indicated.

[*]Punished teamkills and awards/rank ups are enlarged and highlighted.

[*]Control point caps are enlarged highlighted to see whom is being a team player.

[*]Team damage is highlighted and enlarged to get your attention. You won't even notice the default messages lol.

[*]Changed spotting such that it shows up as "Unconfirmed" instead of the original confusing message. Thanks to Mad Ad for demonstrating the spacing required for this.

[*]A spotted infantry soldier is highlighted to further distinguish from an unconfirmed (spam) spotting.

[*]Changed middle of screen # players to game start, and out of bounds to sides of the screen. Thanks to Mad Ad for demonstrating the spacing required for this.

[*]Weapon damage and type is indicated and highlighted. Note that weapons like shotguns and sniper rifles have slight name changes, because their base damage is dependant on range and how many shells hit.

E.G.

PKM MG D35 means PKM, Machine Gun, Damage 35
M16A2 AR D30 means M16, Assault Rifle, Damage 30
G36C CAR D25 means G36C, Carbine, Damage 25

The damage helps me know if I got whacked by a very weak gun, like a PP19 or a strong gun like an RPK. So when someone with a shitty gun gets me I know I should be embarrased. It also helps to know if you got shot in the head, eg if I die to a PP19 out of nowhere and I had full health, I know he must have gotten some mad headshots, because you can tell when someone hits you a little or a lot, and based on the damage you can figure out if your death was "bullshit" or not. To me, every death is bullshit haha.

Personal:
[*]Vehicle tags are slightly modified. E.g. Vodnik becomes Smirnoff Vodnik. RIB becomes RIB Condom etc.
[*]Vote tags are modified.
[*]Some browser shit changed like Play Now button -> Press 4 Lag, Refresh Button -> Do not click.
[*]Other shit I forgot to mention.

Download and follow these steps:

Thx,but I already have my own....

The big kill message is the best modification there is besides the teamkill weapon message.
It is so much more rewarding when the big letters with the enemy name in orange pop up compared to the usual tiny,grey ones.
And it really helps when you are claymoreing around,you won't miss it when one of your two claymores blows somebody up and hence you know it's time to plant the next one.

Dude why do you feel the need to bash someone for doing peeps a service? Possibly making the BF2 experiance better for them? Nice way to jump right into the forum there Kiddo.

Grow up kid.

I appreciate the files thanks.

I changed my localization files too (few months ago.)  Points seem so much more rewarding when you see the +2, etc.  I've never seen the damage indicator though.  Thanks.

Yes, but you will have no backup (of the 2 files) if you do that. E.g. if you want to go back to the old system you would have to grab the originals from here or a friend etc.

Better to copy the old 2 files to your desktop, and paste the new files in.

As for the other files, yes just leave them in there.

That damage is the base bullet damage, it is not how much damage you took to die. We don't have acess to those kinds of stats unfortunately It would be really cool if we did like in CS.

However if you get hosed by an smg with 19 damage, then yes you should hang your head in shame regardless.

I changed my files specifically because it does seem more rewarding when you see the points rolling in. Also team damage seems so much more painful now when you see it happening, because in the old format you would rarely notice the gray text.

I've got the big kill message too,I just love it.

Here's the code,the important part is the §3:

Code:

 
HUD_CHAT_YOUGOTAKILLSCORE     §3You §C1001killed§C1001 §3#PLAYERNAME#§3 (§C1001+2§C1001)
And leave those boxes in the code,they just don't show up here in my post!

If you got it right you'll get something like this: YOU KILLED SOMENOOB (+2)

Have fun with it!

Nice.

I like the way mine are done, i've edited most of the radio messages to say like, 'enemy tank-whore spotted' when you spot a tank, and it always says like, "You gave ammo to a mofo" or "You healed a mofo" Most of my clan m8s have mine, so when we see it come up we all laugh, and the guests are like, 'wtf?' lol.

Damage a single shot does. AK101 D37 means 37 damage per bullet. That way you know how strong the gun was that finished you off.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. My fellow ten year olds and I dearly apologize for wasting your time with this thread. I'm sure you don't need any of our advice on how to resize it back down. It was obviously my intent to allow no customization beyond my own.

Is there a way to edit the files to get rid of the big text?

EDIT: nm.
