What could cause the MOTD to not work?
« on: January 30, 2008, 05:43:08 PM »
Hi,
I updated the server hldsltool thing, added simple prop protect, and edited my motd then restarted and the motd isnt showing up. Any ideas why this could be? Sorry to bother yall I know your busy but any help is good. Admin works fine, I try to click the motd button when I open my !menu and it just closes my !menu and does nothing. Also if you need any more info let me know what you need.
Thanks,
us

We've had reports and have experienced issues with the ulx motd since the 1/29 Gmod update.
We're looking into it.

It has been fixed in SVN.

I assume you mean the raitings from the scoreboard?

If so, short answer, no.
Long answer, yes, but not easily. The raitings are stored using sqlite in sv.db. Editing this is not like simply editing a text file. If you know how to do sqlite queries you could modify it that way. There are a few programs available for editing sqlite databases, but it is not the most intuitive task. The raitings are also not stored in a simple raiting name = number form.

If you want to reset everyone's raitings, as well as anything else that may be stored in the sv.db file you can just delete it and let it be recreated (the server will need to be down for this).
