A couple hours after a previous issue was resolved, I've hit a wall again. It mainly deals with this question of mine. I've found in the HUD file where the text color for the text displayed by ShowMessage() is defined, as well as other things. I've tried changing it, and have been partly successful.

The problem I run into is that the text with changed color, display length etc. appears, but the stock, yellow text appears above it, obscuring it. I can get a screenshot if you need it.

My question, then: how can I get rid of (or change) the stock text, so that only my modded text is visible?

Is there no other section for that stock text?

I searched for every instance of the word "text" in both hud files - the one I edited (player1systemMessages) was the only one that seemed to have anything to do with it.

I attempted to set my modded text's ZOrder to 255, which would hopefully place it above the stock text. Then I may be able to insert a hud object in between them. No such luck; I think the stock text has a line AddToTop(1) that I can't seem to override.
