Hello!
My command suggestion:
/infectmessage <add> <param1>:<param2>
/infectmessage <del> <param1>:<param2>
/infectmessage list
What does it do? You can add/remove custom infect messages to the server. e.g. if you wanted to make it say 'Player1 just ate Player2's head for dinner!' when they infect them, then you can. When you get bored of it, you could remove it.
This suggestion would be recommended for admins (obvious reasons), maybe you guys could discuss and have weekly infection message additions and removals, or just add them randomly when you think of a good one. Maybe you could have sections of the forums to suggest infection messages or something too :)
I know the devs can just change the source code to include new messages, but this would save them time in the long run, and make the server a little more unique and interesting, which we would all love :)
I have made the command before, so feel free to look at / modify / use my code below. I hope it can help and I hope you may see the use in this command.
Command:
During map interval & Server start-up
infectMessages and infectMessages2 are the names of the infection message lists. Providing you have the same mechanism as an old MCForge zombie survival game did, then it should stay as it is. Otherwise you may need to modify it slightly. In case you don't use the traditional way, this is what the code looks like (so you can see what is happening with the messages):
Lastly, for anybody confused about how you actually use the command, this is how it works. (Read the text in the code):
