Hey guys,

By all means correct me if someone knows otherwise. But from what I can tell from scripts 3.2 onwards the console command "TMSG" no longer seems to be performing as expected; and rather than sending a message in teamchat from the specified player as BHS.txt suggests ("TMSG will send a team message as though it came from the specified player"), it creates a private message from that player to the Host.

Was this a purposeful change in scripts which was undocumented, or an unintentional addition. If anyone has a workaround to this, or an alternative method to create a team message from a specified player - Then i'd love to hear it!

Thanks,
sycar

Just as an update.

After talking to StealthEye regarding this, it was confirmed that this was an undetected problem since scripts 3.2 onwards. He's confirmed they will now fix it for the 4.0 TT release, and with some (Much Appreciated!) guidance from StealthEye I've patched the core bhs.dll 3.4.4, to include this fix.

He's said I'm more than welcome to post the updated bhs.dll publically so here it is!

NOTE: This is the original 3.4.4 BHS.dll with a single modification to make the TMSG command work again.

I thought the source to bhs.dll 3.4.4 was long lost! Surprised

Nice find and release. Thumbs Up

This isn't fixed with the source, its fixed by binary edits to the DLL as far as I know.

JW's correct. This is a binary fix, afaik the source to 3.4.4 is still lost unfortunately.
