Title: Frost Joker text
Autumn of Psi - March 21, 2007 01:31 AM (GMT)
I heard theres a way to change it by going into the file frostjoke_ba.txt or something. Is it just a hoax? If not, what file is it in and how do I change it?

I KNOW you can. But how and where, I dont. G'night people.

Yup, it's possible.
You see every line has a # sign then a joke. Keep that number sign and replace the bad joke with one of your own. If you want to make a new joke without replacing anything, just add a # sign at the bottom and type it out.

um i think you can change it but it only looks changed on your screen
if you want it to look changed on everyone's screen youd prolly have to ask nuke or someone to put up a new autopatch.

Actually It might be visable to everyone, as its just a txt that it reads the string from then prints it out.

If you modify it client-side, nuke, then it stays client-side. Otherwise I'd make it so every MVP had 1 HP. And you wouldn't want that, would you? XD
.... AND NO, I'M NOT A CHEAP-ASS. THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE. AND DIDN'T YOU KNOW ThAT CAPS LOCK IS THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL?! LOLS?!

No Mr Googas, you see the way the file works is that the client reads the text file from the file, then prints it out in RO, so it can very well be seen by other people because of the way its programmed, things that are changed client side don't always mean that you can only see the change client side because the way the client is programmed.
EDIT: If you want a flow chart of why this happens here it is:
For Things that Dont Get Set to the Server (itemdescrip.txt, etc. etc.):
Read from file (like itemdescrip.txt)
|
V
Take that String and print it on the screen as is, printing ONLY ON YOUR SCREEN
For things that do get set to the server (frostjoker.txt etc)
Read from file (like frostjoker.txt)
|
V
Format String and send to the server
|
V
Use Servers inbuilt functions to show it on the screen somehow, so EVERYONE sees it.
Now the hardpart is figuring out wether or not its sent to the server, so im not 100% sure this works for frostjoker, but it probably does.
