* Note: all lines between records which start with '*' are comments and * are ignored. Comments can only be between records, not within them. * * This file is where the damage messages go for offensive spells, and * skills such as kick and backstab. Also, starting with Circle 3.0, these * messages are used for failed spells, and weapon messages for misses and * death blows. * * All records must start with 'M' in the first column (for 'Message'). * The next line must contain the damage number (defined in spells.h), * then the messages (one per line): * Death Message (damager, damagee, onlookers) * Miss Message (damager, damagee, onlookers) * Hit message (damager, damagee, onlookers) * God message (damager, damagee, onlookers) * * All messages must be contained in one line. They will be sent through * act(), meaning that all standard act() codes apply, and each message will * automatically be wrapped to 79 columns when they are printed.
