Also make sure you're using v0.81+ or it won't work.

Yeah i'm using 8.1, when you install it you have one test add in there right?
So when I start a server what do I do to enable them? (Nothing came up by default)

Sorry, turns out that function isn't working for some reason. You can call the addAdvert() and addCsayAdvert() directly and it should work, however.

OK...
I have 0.9
And I use this:

Quote
function ulx_loadConfig( name, userid, steamid )
   if gConfigLoaded == true then
      return -- Already loaded
   end
   
   -- Adverts
   -- addCsayAdvert( msg, r, g, b, repeat_time, length )
   -- addAdvert( msg, repeat_time )
   -- You can use %hostname%, %curmap%, and %nextmap% in your text and have it automaticly parsed for you
   addCsayAdvert( "Welcome to %hostname%, enjoy your stay!", 100, 255, 200, 300, 5 )
   addAdvert( "Remember to play nicely!", 360 )
   addAdvert( "Jesus is admin on this server.", 613 )
   addAdvert( "Red team = Admin, yellow = VIP and blue = Normal.", 605 )
   addCsayAdvert( "The map you are playing on is %curmap%", 100, 255, 200, 150, 5 )


   gConfigLoaded = true
end

But nothing comes up.

If i'm doing something wrong please tell me exactly what to type into the console to activate it.

You're probably just not noticing it come up :-P . If you leave your console for a while and come back, you should see the messages in your console. ( Or you could set the time to 10 seconds to doubly make sure it's working )

Wait, these messages will come up on screen like ulx_csay right?


EDIT: I did that, I set them to intervals of 5, and 10 etc.
Nothing came up, in the console or on screen.

Basically not all the 0.81 files were overwritten by the 0.90 files and so it actually loaded half 0.90 and half 0.81

I first noticed that this was the problem when I had ulx_weaponmenu on the ulx_help but it wouldn't load, this also caused errors with my melonrace and votemap changes.

Sorry for the trouble.
