MOTD borked.
« on: February 17, 2010, 02:07:58 AM »
Just updated to ULib Revision 102 and ULX revision 84.

For some reason the custom URL I put in "server.cfg" isn't coming up in the MOTD. It's showing the generic text file instead. It's always worked before.. or maybe I'm having a total brainfart. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys!

It's working fine for me, what did you set the value to, exactly?

Code: [Select]
ulx showMotd kyol.ca/tsc/rules.htm
That's what it's always been, but in this new revision it refuses to work for some reason.. hmm. I've had to just manually add the page's HTML contents into the motd.txt and that seems to work fine.

Odd, that URL works fine for me. I updated the server.ini in a recent revision, perhaps it reset your config?

AUGH! Still broken. I'm noticing that the server is not making any changes at all from server.cfg.. For example when I check "ulx rslots" in the server it says it's set to 2, but I set it to 3 in the server.cfg, so it appears to be ignoring the file altogether. Yikes!

I have another question as well. :D

With this new revision, the server.cfg no longer contains the advert messages.. how can I disable the default ones and make my own now?

Thanks again. :)

The configs are being migrated to data/ulx/*

Also, server.cfg is different than server.ini
We use .ini to load settings
Gmod/Source server uses .cfg
Most cfg files load before the lua engine even starts.

Sorry, I meant the server.ini file in the ulx folder.  :X

No problem. Just making sure you knew.

Regardless, the changes don't appear to be sticking, so I've had to just manually set "ulx showMotd" in my server.cfg (not ulx's server.ini) and then my address and that seems to work.
