Editing flag pickup messages?

Hello, I'm currently working on a silly little Metroid thing. One of the gamemodes this is compatible with is Capture the Flag, and I've edited the flags to be cute little Metroid buggers.

Aren't you just the sweetest little mass-murdering weapon of genocide?

Anyway, for this Capture THE BABY gamemode, I know I can change the pickup messages with Language entries for PICKUP_BLUEFLAG, PICKUP_REDFLAG, and etc etc etc, but that only changes the inventory pickup message--it doesn't actually change the broadcasted message.

Well, shit.
Is there any way to change that?

Iirc there was a trick where you'd print a line right as you picked up the flag to cancel out the pickup message. Use print not hudmessage.

The messages are hard coded since it was apparently assumed that capture the flag is always played with flags ;). It shouldn't be difficult to move the messages to the LANGUAGE lump though. If you think it's necessary for mods to alter theses messages, feel free to open a tracker ticket for this.
