Note:In 
Left 4 Dead and later, the message will only show to the !activator unless it's singleplayer.
Warning:Entering raw text will not allow the message to be translated between user languages.
Note:In 
and potentially other games, the % character interacts differently with text. Displaying keybinds found in the resource folder may force any text after the % character to display on a new line.
