Has anyone messed with modifying brood wars battlenet chat interface, similar to skywings sc chat enhancements plugin, at all?

I've been trying to locate the function that prints the chat text, and have had no luck. I'm sure it will be some wrapper around a user32 provided function, and will probably be in storm.dll, or somewhere. (?)

Anyways, if anyone knows anything about this, please clue me in. :-)

CMIIW, but Battle.snp is a (renamed) DLL, right?

Well, nevertheless, I was still looking in Battle.snp, not storm.dll. Also, I think I've found the function responsible for drawing battlenet chat room text.
