Is there a way to add new HUD messages?

In ui\hud\hud_item_messages.unicode_string_list it has the messages for when you pick things up, etc. Is there a way to add or edit them?

Also, the hud_icon_messages.unicode_string_list under ui\hud contains all the names of vehicles and XBOX buttons. Well, one of the vehicle names in there is "Kestrel" that, if I am not mistaken is a bike. I don't know if anyone found this, I just thought it was interesting.

Kestral...never knew that.

Try lookin at the file in a hex editor. Or look for a prog cLuis made a while ago. Its called somethin like HXH or HXE. Dont remember -- search for it. that prog might only work for xbox...i cud never make it work 4 anything, it said i was missin a file.

i was wondering ths too(and the kestral is the black space fighter thingy- i.e.longsword-me thinks)

i hex-edited a lot of the strings- for starters i tried changing the guardians to warriors!, and i played a game- no luck- it still said guardians, and i HATE the fact that if you open a map in a hex editor- you cant see the text like in the halo pc maps:(

No, I think the developers put it in their for fun, why would they name the longsword with a name that happens to be a type of bike?

Guys, the Kestrel was going to be another vehicle. There was a topic about this long ago. Search, guys.
