No "You picked up %1" ? What did I break?!

I'm not getting 'You picked up %1' messages when I pick up items in my game. I've figured out by using echo() that the data or %message seems to be empty upon entering onServerMessage(). I cannot figure out why this is happening. I'm stumped.

I think it could be the engine but I haven't a clue what I did to break it. Has anyone else ever had this problem and solved it?



my console log shows something noteworthy and peculiar when i pick something up... although again I don't understand the source of it.

>Mapping string: MsgItemPickup to index: 13
>Mapping string: to index: 14
>onServerMessage() called
>

You can see where the string should be here... it should say Mapping string: 'You picked up a map' to index : 14. After that, you can see where I am echoing 'onServerMessage() called' and also the blank line > should be the result of echo(%message) and it is empty.

More info... in ItemData::onPickup() if I remove the /c0 from the string in the following line then I get the text in the chat hud.

// Inform the client what they got.
if (%user.client)
messageClient(%user.client, 'MsgItemPickup', '\c0You picked up %1', %this.pickupName);

Okay the problem I have narrowed down to being the \c0 in the string arg in messageClient(). If I change it to \c1 i get the message in the chat hud. \c0 i get no message.

I'm quite stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
