in latex preamble
\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{Messages}{htb}{}[chapter]
or section instead of chapter if you are using document class article.
and in text:
\begin{Messages} <- tex (red)
text , figure or anything else
\caption{text text} <- tex (red)
\end{Messages} <- tex (red)
for other options look at doc of float-package
