Anyone manage to add a 'working' ChatBox in Emaga6?

I notice when I run the various demos included on the CD, there will be a welcome message in the Chatbox when I join the game. In addition, when I pick up an item, it is broadcasted in the ChatBox.

I followed the instructions in Ch 23 to add the ChatBox (chatbox.gui and chatbox.cs). The following is picked up in the console:

Mapping string: Welcome to the Emaga %1. to index: 6
Mapping string: MsgItemPickup to index: 13
Mapping string: You picked up %1 to index: 14
Mapping string: MsgWeaponUsed to index: 15
Mapping string: Weapon selected to index: 16

However, there is no welcome message when I joined the game and there is no broadcast in the chatbox when I picked up an item.

Greatly appreciate any help.
