[CF-Devel] Error Message in DirectX Client

[Michael Toennies]

Uh, yes its the skill exp.
I had included the interface in the dx client as
i do the patch.

Because there is some changed now, the client knows that this is
not a unknown command, but he knows too that this is not the right 
format, so he excit for secure.

I'll update the client today.
I notice also a small bug in the metaserver text print, some text is
not wrapped there.

       The change is pretty trivial, so I expect MT will be making a new client

       Now, the reason it works at low level is that even though it does not
