What you should do is go in game, grab the main text (the being in this case 'you killed') and write it down EXACTLY.
then search in notepad in english.utxt for it

+1 to salad because he's the one who first thought of this thing in totalbf2.com
You cannot copyright ideas; it is the expression of an idea which is covered under copyright. As such, your tutorials are only protected under copyright if they are copied word-for-word. You want to protect the ideas in your tutorials, go apply for a patent. I'm sure EA will have something to say about prior art.SaladFork wrote:

Now, if your work has indeed been copied word-for-word then you have every right to complain. However if, as I believe is the case, someone has merely wrote their own tutorial taking into account the ideas of others, then they have no obligation to contact the copyright holder as they are not directly copying.
Now, if he has taken his ideas from your tutorial, or those of others, then it would be nice for him to acknowledge that, and perhaps even provide links. Threatening to go crying to chuy is more than a bit OTT though, IMHO. It's a bloody tutorial for mucking about with an online game, get over it.
as I wrote earlier, I tried that and it worked fine for me. For any reason now I got the same message with #PLAYERNAME#. even with §0#PLAYERNAME#§1 its still not working. maybe a serverside option, but I got some doubts about that.MasterNe0 wrote:

Anyone know how to make it to show who punish u and vs versa.
Did it work in single player but not multiplayer? That would make sense as the variables would be held locally on your machine. For network play, it wouldn't make sense for the Dice programmers to expose variables like that on purpose - I.e. everytime someone died they would have to send in the packet additional info saying who punished, not just that you got punished. But because BF2 doesn't already display who punished you, it would make no sense for the programmers to send that kind of additional info along with it for no purpose but using more bandwidth.xaven wrote:

In single player, your machine is the server so it takes no additional info for you to get access to those variables, that may be why it worked for you.
I also changed when you press Q you get these things : go go, need medic etc. well i changed one (without knowing that was that) with: give me ammo you dumbass, and it shows too. kinda fun to see that instead of the normal text.

well good
I'm trying to get
So for example, if I shoot Player with an M16A2 it should say:You killed #PLAYERNAME# with a #WEAPON
But instead, it saysYou killed player with a M16A2
Any advice? Or you just can't do it?You killed Player with a #WEAPON#

The variable #WEAPON# isn't passed to the message.
Too bad, I wanted to know the name with my kill damage assists, but doesn't work either
its not working for me even tho ive edited it.
can you tell me why please?

YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT SOURCES I USED?

And i don't want you to think that im trying to be an ass, but it just pisses me off when people would say that kind of bs, to think that i decided to help out people and maybe inspire some people to try it because it's fun to see what you can do, but no, i get attacked. Not right, very unfair and VERY uncalled for.

Now...
No, because the variable "#WEAPON#" is not enabled on the line that reads 'you killed', there is no global for that becuase there is a vast variable count for weapons. But i think i may have found out a way so that at the end when it says "Blah blah team has won" to say like "Your wins: ### Your Loses: ###" I'll try it out tonight and reposrt back!Spark wrote:

The guide on TBF2 is a sticky thread in the main discussion forum since Nov. with almost 50k views. If you've been there and have not seen it, or the many other threads reguarding custom localization files...I am very surprised. It would have saved your self alot of "experimenting and research" as you call it. All the questions being asked here have been asked and answered in the original tut:LOSER|Tearsofromance wrote:

The original tutorial is also found on other gaming sites such as:
http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlefield-2-technical-support-faqs/63693-having-fun-localization-files-v1-12-a.html
Hell, even I've released 3 versions of custom localization files since I've read Salad's tut months ago, and have over 800 d/ls combined among them. I didn't ask for credit for anything, and I acknowledged where I learned how to do it. You said yourself you know this has been done... but claim to not have read any information on how to do it... yet want ppl to credit you and your clan? .... lol ok, but I call BS. Pull your head out of the sand. Even Salad acknowledges it wasn't his idea, he just took the time to write the tut... and credited the person who actually had the idea first. Common courtesy goes along way. Try some.
And I guess since I'm here...
My 3rd release of customized localization files baed on Saladfork's tut, and elmerfudd's idea.
Check em out guys, see if you can dig it. Included is a changelog, and a readme. Feedback is welcome. If you are not sure what this does, read this [url=http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlefield-2-technical-support-faqs/63693-having-fun-localization-files-v1-12-a.html]thread[/url].
In short, it enhances/highlights your kill messages and team point events, votes... features more accurate weapon and vehicle names (NATO Reporting name when possible) ....etc. Changelog is below with a few example screenshots. Thanks again to Saladfork, Crowned , and elmerfudd.

Ugh, not even gunna read your post. My tut, took absolutely nothing from anyone else, someone else made one long ago, congratulatiions. I only asked for credit if Clan's used this tutorial on their site, thats it, i don't give two shits about people using the tut if they credit me or not (would be stupid to credit me for that becuase you did the work, i just showed you how) dont like it? then shut it and get lost. I stole nothing, and don't even think of accusing me of such disgusting acts.
Thanks.
