Sure thing.

First of all, I wrote this earlier in the thread:

Because I'm cool thats why ^^

Thats a link for a guide to messing with your localization files. Regarding the "+2" in big fonts.. I simply "put two and two together" (used my intelligens ) and added stuff that I wanted.

Here is a few examples of what my localization file says in some lines:

For kills: HUD_CHAT_YOUGOTAKILLSCORE     §C1001You have 0wned §0#PLAYERNAME#§1§C1001§3+2

For teampoints (in this case resupply points): HUD_HUD_REPLENISH_GOT_AMMO_POINTYou hit some random noob with your ammo bag! §3§C1000+1§C1000

Together the two examples produces this: http://img500.imageshack.us/img500/2328/local15hb.jpg

you should change "handgrenade" with "candy" too :d

Misc. info. I'm a pilot so I set all plane kills to have a different color, so I know I'm up against, and who to hope for dies (when I'm waiting for a plane) if you are a chopper whore or somekind of other whore I suggest you do the same - its very helpfull.

Example:

KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_mig29     §C1001MiG-29§C1001
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_j10       §C1001J-10§C1001
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_f15       §C1001F-15§C1001
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_su34      §C1001Su-34§C1001
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_su30      §C1001Su-30§C1001
KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_f35       §C1001F-35B§C1001

produces:

(notes: the 'code text' may look confusing at first, but give up right away. There are just a few things to keep in the back of you mind - and then the rest is just fun.
I have here five little rules and guidelines that I've learned the hard way :
#1 MAKE A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL!!!
#2 when you use "§C" 'codes' remember to start and end the selected area with the code and numbers.
#3 dont delete the ""
#4 "§C3" makes the text three times bigger than normal.
#5 "§C1001" makes the text orange. There is a few other colors in the game, but I havent been able to find the 'codes' for them yet. (the other colors are: yellow, white, blue, green and I recently discovered the red color too)

Hope any of this could be of any help - If you need some details cleared up or elaborated just ask and I'll try to help the best I can.

1) I think one of the reasons for your overheating woes is all of the wires & stuff being so spread out.  Try Tie-wrapping them into tighter bundles to allow for air-flow.  We started doing that at my data-center and it made a HUGE difference (also see the ULTRA series of power supplies).

2) I read with great interest your instructions on how to modify the screen output.  Now, do YOU just see that or do other players?  I thought I read that many servers were outlawing customized output, or was I drunk at that moment?
