Is it possible to make the admin messages larger etc? I have seen many posts regarding this elsewhere but am at a loss on how to achieve this

Yes by changing the admin prefix but I'd advise against it as they are very obtrusive and are possibly being removed in the next patch.

I just came to make a post about this, I'll use the existing thread here.

In version 1.1 of MM it had large admin text, so when I sent chat using BF2CC it showed in large green text and didn't get missed by the players.

Now in version 1.2 it is now optional but by default its small admin text. I have tried to use the large text by prefixing it as said in the modmanger.con but it doesn't work.

This is what I have tried:
mm_bf2cc.serverChatFormat §3"[Admin: %s] %s"
Now when I do that it removes the § and doesn't display large text

Also tried
mm_bf2cc.serverChatFormat "§3[Admin: %s] %s"
again it removes the § and doesn't display large text

Can it be done in the modmanager.con file or does it have to be done in the bf2cc python file and if so can you please explain how we can re-enable this feature. Also we want to change the text from green to orange.

Thanks in advance.

There was talk of removing this in the latest BF2 patch that may be the reason.

The below is the correct format if it still works on the new patch ( note the spaces ):
mm_bf2cc.serverChatFormat " §3 [Admin: %s] %s"

It doesn't work :mad: Tried it as you stated it and it removes the §. The thing is when we were using MM 1.1 and BF2 patch 1.22 it worked.

Is there a way Steve that we can add it through the python file to get it working again? We all really miss this feature.

EDIT: we edited the python file to look like this:
host.rcon_invoke( 'game.sayall \"§3%s\"' % ( msg ) )

That works but it displays a 3 before the message. Don't know how to get rid of it displaying the 3 but atleast that works and displays the admin text in large letters again. Is that method ok?
