[TF2] Strange Weapon rank up

Nikkii · **Author**

Is there any hook that would get the messages/ranks?
So far I've tried:
HudNotify
HudNotifyCustom
HudText
TextMsg
SayText/SayText2
HudMsg

User Messages, and these events:
game_message
player_hintmessage

I'm looking for the "Bla's bla has reached a new rank: Bla" messages, I can't find anything that would work =\, unless achievement increments would count towards it?

You can't, it's sent directly from item server to all players connected to a specific server. The server itself can't see them.

This is also why the server doesn't know where gifts spawn on cp_manor_event or koth_viaduct_event during the Halloween event because it never gets sent that data.

Ah, that sucks, thanks anyway =\

I guess it's to keep them cheat proof (At least hack proof, changing the values server side...), same with gifts =\

Well, what if we were running some game client emulation which would share it's data along with the server? These must be some perverted thoughts, and it might take extra player slot on the server, but if you really need it...

Was more of a "What if I could log strange level ups on my server", no big deal

The server gets information about the item's new level, but you'd need an extension to handle it.
