Is there a way to set it so the stupid thing doesn't beep when it sends a message? Because my cog sends a message and plays a sound, but the sound plays and at the same time, since it's sending a message, that stupid beeping sound comes on

strange, I always thought you had to ADD lines to have the beep..

We are not who we are...

Any time the server cog sends a message to the clients, it makes a beep on their machine (but not server machine). It's just like getting a message from another player, it beeps when you get it

What code are you using? You should use that jkPrintUNIString() command or whatever it's called. I believe it globablly prints messages, or one of them does. In this one level along time ago, when you picked up the conc, it printed "XX player has the concussion rifle!" When you entered the sector, and played an alarm sound. So I know there's a way to do it, but I dont have any resources with me now

Check the specs on the jkPrint commands.

You could always use Print("Blah");

Or jkPrintUNIString(player, Number); as Emon suggested. Just open up the .uni file for the level and add your strings in there.

Hrm, I'm trying to make it so I don't have to add special uni strings to it because that makes it harder on the level editors. And print() only goes to the local screen, not to everybody

You could have it send a trigger to print the text, or you could replace whatever the beeping sound is with an empty sound.

Also, you could try printing the message, then sending a trigger to play a silent sound for a second, with the highest priority.
