Broken MOTD?
« on: October 23, 2010, 09:16:43 PM »
Well on a server I assist in hosting, an motd is displayed that is not the one found in addons/ulx. It is a day of defeat source one. It says ULX motd at the top so Im not sure whats going on. I was just curious if you know where I can locate this motd that seems to be overwriting ours. Thanks

Though I thought we had it in the readme, I see now we don't.
Try in your <gmod server>/ulx_motd.txt , not <gmod server>/addons/ulx.
If that doesn't work, try <gmod server>/motd.txt

I found a changelog mentioning we'll use ulx_motd.txt, but no inidication exactly where.
If neither of those work, on your server console, type "find motd", one of those will be a path statement showing where Gmod is showing from by default.

Yes I have the ulx_motd.txt file, but its not showing up at all
I cannot find another motd either.

I know you have the file, but did you copy it from /addons/ulx to your root gmod folder?
<gmod>/file goes here

Also, on your server when you type "find motd", there is no response?

And I think the convar for it is 'motdfile' if you need to change the location.
