Message types

How the message is displayed depends on the contents of the Type field. If this field is set to <WARNING> or <ALERT>, the message is displayed as a pop-up or as an alert. If the Type field contains any other value, the type and message are printed in the chat instead.

Type string	Location
<WARNING>	Pop-up
<ALERT>	Alert text
Other	Chat

Pop-up

If the Type field is set to <WARNING>, a pop-up with an exclaimation mark icon is displayed. The Message field is used as the caption, with space for a single line. It is not possible to provide a custom message body, but special Message values can set the caption and body to hardcoded values.

While the pop-up is open, the player is able to move, but unable to look around.

Special messages

If the Type field is set to <WARNING> and the Message field is set to any of the following special messages, the caption and body of the popup are set to their corresponding values. The interface tags are translated by MyGUI into the localized versions. The English localizations are listed below.
