thanks for the patch.

please recheck our coding guidelines and use camelCase for variables

imo it would be better to add a console to ufo2map for windows - and use Com_Printf with color codes like "^1This is a message", no?
====== mutonufoai (2011-06-13 06:17:01) ======

Com_Printf is unable to use stderr for a message ...

If you ask me
there should be only one function for any kind of output
define colors for win && *nix
a function with
a bitmask to know where to redirect the output
the colorcode
the message

But at the moment
i want simply to get rid of this messagebox used by ufo2map
====== tlh2000 (2011-06-13 08:18:07) ======

that's fine - and i will apply this patch once it meets our coding guidelines.

reworked patch
====== tlh2000 (2011-07-03 07:05:11) ======

i've reworked the patch - but as i don't have windows, i can't test. Will leave this here until i get green light from a windows user.

* reduced code duplication
* applied coding guidelines
* renamed function
* moved comments and removed doxygen markers
