If that is Welcome Msg, why should be

"onClientPreRender" 

Why not

"onClientResourceStart" 
  

?

[will briggs]

Number one you wouldnt use on client resource start, It would have to be onplayer join. Which is server side. He's using on client pre render, So when you download all the files, the first thing you will see is that message.

Thats why But a good shot at it capy, Your getting better and off topic, Sorry about before...
