Editing Achievement Strings

[Moxie]

So I'm trying to edit my achievement strings alongside a host of others, but nothing seems to work. The achievement announcement always looks like the default. I've searched for instances of other add-ons that may be preventing the edit somehow, but there's none.

Here's what I'm using:

(212  ) ACHIEVEMENT_BROADCAST = "%s earned %s."
(213  ) ACHIEVEMENT_BROADCAST_SELF = "|cffffffff+|r  %s."

Can achievement strings even be edited? Every other string is working but these. I assume I've gotten my wires crossed somewhere and it needs to be a bit more involved.

I use this string

 text = text:gsub("(|Hplayer.+|h) has earned the achievement (.+)!", "%1 ! %2")

What it does is putting a ! in front of achievment instead of saying "has earned the achievment".

There are a couple more localization constants that you might need to replace:

NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_EARNED = "You have earned the achievement '%s'.";

GUILD_ACHIEVEMENT_BROADCAST = "\"%s\" has earned the achievement $a!";
PLAYER_SERVER_FIRST_ACHIEVEMENT = "|Hplayer:%s|h[%s]|h has earned the achievement $a!";
SERVER_FIRST_ACHIEVEMENT = "%s has earned the achievement $a!";

Edit: It makes no sense, but PLAYER_SERVER_FIRST_ACHIEVEMENT is the only one that matches what I see actually printed to chat. It might be recycled for all achievement broadcasts.

I realized that Damn Achievement Spam was conflicting with it but wasn't showing up in my search. It works perfectly now. Thanks for the help, guys. I'll bookmark this for next time I play around.

So I noticed something odd, in that both messages will print out randomly as someone earns an achievement. The same person got two achievements earlier, and one announcement was the edited version while the other was the default.

This is weird.
