open client\cl_parse.c

underneath this:

 
 
void CL_ParseServerMessage (void)
{
 int cmd;
 char *s;
 int i;
 
 

put this:

 
 
 // ECHON {
 char timestamp[24];
 _strtime( timestamp );
 // } ECHON
 
 

then change this:

 
 
 case svc_print:
 i = MSG_ReadByte (&net_message);
 if (i == PRINT_CHAT)
 {
 S_StartLocalSound ("misc/talk.wav");
 con.ormask = 128;
 }
 Com_Printf ("%s", MSG_ReadString (&net_message));
 con.ormask = 0;
 break;
 
 
 

to this:

 
 
 case svc_print:
 i = MSG_ReadByte (&net_message);
 if (i == PRINT_CHAT)
 {
 S_StartLocalSound ("misc/talk.wav");
 con.ormask = 128;
 // ECHON {
 Com_Printf ("[%s] %s", timestamp, MSG_ReadString (&net_message));
 // } ECHON
 }
 // ECHON {
 else
 {
 Com_Printf ("%s", MSG_ReadString (&net_message));
 }
 // } ECHON
 con.ormask = 0;
 break;
 
 

and that's all! :)
