i am trying to get the game to show what weapon i was killed with next to the "You were killed by (name here)" message 9so it will end up you were killed by (name) - [weapon]

i've added this [#weapon#] thinking it will display the weapon there, it does not, it just shows that: (name) [#weapon#]

what can i change it to to show me the weapon i was killed with?

misread the post, sorry, as i said below, i think its probably impossible, unless you can figure out the variable used to store the weapon specified...

Oh

That is most likely not possible, because you'd have to know exactly which variable is used to specify the weapon. I'd imagine there is a bit more complicated and in depth way, but you might have to run an external program to cut and paste, which is not picking daisies

Blehm's got it right. The coding works in the event list up on the top left, we all know that, but it DOES NOT in the "killed by" message. You'd have to modify the game at a much deeper level, I believe, and punkbuster might get you for something like that.
If somebody knows differently, then awesome. I wanted to do this also, but after hours of searching, i gave up.

Did you know that the text on the top-right serves that purpose? Why do you want it there?

first of all, it's on the top left, second: so i don't have to search through the little text, looking for a name and a gun in a quickly scrolling list of names and guns

HUD_CHAT_YOUWEREKILLEDBY You were killed by §0#PLAYERNAME#§1 [§1#WEAPON#§0] this is the file i'm lookin to change guys but thats not the line that works, still looking for that, the right weapon thing. sorry i didn't clarify, my fault Nappy. does your game tell you what gun you were killed with right next to that message?

I don't believe you can edit that, like others have said. The variable HUD_CHAT_YOUWEREKILLEDBY doesn't hold that information most likely.

any moderators reading this sorry for duplicating this thread but the other one (Can't change loc files HELP!) was a different thread about my inability to save the setting i had changed. i duplicated this thread in another section because absolutely NO ONE seems to know how to do this and i wanted to find help elsewhere. if you know or can find someone who knows how to do this please for the love of god direct them right here. thank you and sorry once again for duplicating.

You could....install the Dutch version, you probably won't understand shit of what is being written, but in the Dutch version, the weapon name comes last.
