Location
messages.lua is a file in the Gamedata/ directory of a Spring Game.
Purpose
This file defines what messages are shown when a player dies.
Source
The engine source code which parses the data from this file is viewable here:
Details
In the message string %i is replaced with the player's team number and %s is replaced with the player's name.
Example
Single Message
Example taken from Air Raid:
return {
"Player %i(%s) is down!"
}
Multiple Messages
Example taken from zeroK. One message is picked from the list at random.
local messages = {

"Team%i (%s) has been obliterated",
"Team%i (%s) has been liquidated",
"Team%i (%s) has been eradicated",
"Team%i (%s) has been terminated",
"Team%i (%s) has bowed out",
"Team%i (%s) has gone to a better place",
"Team%i (%s) beheld Satan as he fell from heaven LIKE LIGHTNING!",
"Team%i (%s) is out of existence",
...
},
}
