MOTD Help
« on: August 07, 2017, 02:13:04 PM »
My ULib/ULX versions
ULib v2.63w
ULX v3.73w


Game mode(s) I am having this problem on: TTT

Currently trying to set the MOTD of my server. After using the built in ULX MOTD we got a forum that would hold our MOTD the link to the MOTD is https://www.krakengaming.co.uk/rules When adding this as the MOTD via either the ULX menu or through the server files the site does not show up and i am left with a blank MOTD. i read that using https does not work and so changed the link to be Http still no luck. Opening the forums does work from my custom commands however its just the MOTD not showing. Any help would do.

See discussion - https://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,10463.0.html
Notable summary from the entire discussion - It wasn't anything ULX could fix.
Gmod uses 'Awesomium' browser library - It's extremely picky about content it displays.
You must use "https://site" for https sites. Don't just try non https or no https.
You mention forum working in a custom command.
Try setting same forum link to MOTD URL as a test. If it works, Awesomium doesn't like something in your motd page.
If it doesn't work, well, that's all i know for now.

Tried setting MOTD url as the same from my custom commands, Still didn't load. Is it because the custom commands display the webpages using the Steam browser whereas the MOTD has a custom window? as for the other thread i dont know if some of the additions to the rules page makes it be mixed.

Have you tried restarting the server since updating the link?
