When I changed from scripts.dll 1.5 to 2.7.2 the server stopped logging the _kill messages to the renlog files though they are still enabled in the ssaow.ini. Is there something I need to do to get these to log again?

You overwrote SSAOW when you installed scripts 2.7.2, you have to use the scripts.dll included in the SSAOW download.

I don't follow you... I replaced the scripts.dll and the bhs.dll file from 1.5 with the files from 2.7.2. Unless you're saying there's supposed to be a ssaow.ini file. If that's the case, it wasn't in the zip I downloaded.

SSAOW is in scripts.dll, when you replaced it with the 2.7.2 scripts.dll you overwrote SSAOW. Use the scripts.dll from the 1.5 download.

basically you cant use any scripts.dll except those provided with SSAOW. if you need the newer scripts in 2.7.2 you will have to wait until an updated SSAOW is released

I know this is an older post, but for the life of me I been looking to find out how to get the player kill / killed messages to display to the players in the game.

The kill / killed messages are displaying just fine in my IRC channels but they are not in the game to the players.
The bot I use is CloudyServ version 0.98.2 (newly upgraded but had the same issue with version 0.98 also)

I am running SSAOW 1.5 and the bhs.dll version is 2.500000 (per the console SVERSION command)

Not sure what is missing to make this happen. If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

I noticed that it is working on the FnFall server.
Must be some secret sauce out there somewhere to make this happen.

The kill messages in SSAOW are not supposed to be displayed ingame.

Thanks for your reply.

So what your saying this is not a function of the SSAOW to present these messages to the players in the game. It only outputs them to the ssaow_date.txt file.(FDSLogRoot=ssaow) There is a SSAOW setting to EchoLog to the FDS console. But this setting will echo anything logged to the SSAOW log to FDS console.
In order for the messages to be displayed in the IRC this is a function of the bot. In my case the CS bot is performing that function from the ssaow_date.txt file.
That script is that is performing that function is
(/load -rs Aow.cs) on the CS bot.

I am looking for the the fuctionality to go that extra step to get them presented to the players in the game. This has to be in the scripting that only extracts the _PLAYERKILL messages and echos them to the players in the game.

I do not know enough about scripting to get this done.

Does anyone have a script that will perform that task?

This is a very cool feature and would like to implement it.

Let me know
Thanks tonyrolm

Dragonade (SSAOW's parent) has something like this, since we can see kill messages for when the base defenses kill a person, or when someone loses their connection to the server. However, the client has to be running jonwil's most recent scripts.dll for this to work. SSAOW 1.5 probably doesn't have this functionality yet, so you'll have to edit it yourself or wait for Whitedragon to release the next version. I don't know if it's even possible to change kill messages serverside alone, though, since the kill message is something in the client strings.tdb file (which can be edited by the client if they know where to look in that gigantic file).
