As the title says. I want to define a brand new event in the events.dat file with its own sound and text. It's relatively easy to write the code, the trick is how to make it work in the game?

As far as I know, most of the events, like the CTF and other multiplayer messages are hardcoded, so I'm not sure if it's even possible to define a new event. I would be OK with reusing an unused event, but I still don't know how to trigger it. It should trigger if a weapon is fired.

It appears this is something I once knew how to do and have since forgotten... I found a reference in a modded events.dat in my SW mod, where I have a new message pop up when ships "warp" in. I posted a link to that mod in the discord a while back, but I can work on uploading it if that would help you at all.
