New here + question about NovaLogic's networking

Nice work. I always wanted to do something like this in DF1 and DF2 because I never know when I've killed someone, all the messages look the same.

Are you just changing a couple bytes at the end of the message string to the color the player is on?

Looks like you have a good start

Yeah, that would be cool. New project idea?

Indeed!
I start of with collecting the player names and their corresponding team color.
The last three kill-messages are read every interval.
Of these messages, I isolate the killer and then it's just a matter of changing some bytes at the end of the messages.

Took me some time to get things right as I'm not really used to programming this low-level
