Another MOTD Problem.
« on: January 24, 2012, 06:47:29 PM »
Basically, regardless of what my ulx_motd.txt contains, the in-game motd will contain the same text.
This is what it says in game:
#Build

1. Listen to administrators. (Higher rank means more authority)

2. Do not mess with other peoples unless they want you to.

3. Do not DeathMatch people who do not wish to be deathmatched.

4. Do not attempt to crash the server or minge in any way. ( This includes prop minge and tool minge )

5. As long as you aren't bothering someone, you are not at fault.

6. Do not harass others.

7. Do not hack.

8. Do not camp spawn or spawn kill.
- Ascension & Gregory

Here's what the ulx_motd.txt says:

I have tried everything from a fresh install of ulx and ulib from the svn tonight, to deleting the cache and removing all other ulx related addons. I also tried searching through sv.db and cl.db.

If it helps, I am running darkrp 2.4.2 with FADMIN.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Where is this ulx_motd.txt file that you're editing?

addons/ulx/ulx_motd.txt

Also, it's worth knowing that there are two separate servers under one FTP.
The build server's MOTD works fine. The DarkRP one does not.

Ahh, nvm... I was thinking that the motd was a txt file written into your data folder (It's been a while since I've really used ULX).

First, never edit Ulysses project files within /addons ... though it's possible some other addons have you edit configs there/etc, addons folder is virtual, we never recommend you do it for our projects. Updating would overwrite them.
Second, from your server console, type 'motdfile'.. I believe thats the variable you need to see where it points.
Modify the motdfile variable to point to gmod_root/this_file (after copying ours out of addons of course)
or, to keep it 'consistent so you know where it is', copy it to /data/ulx/<this file> and point the motdfile variable there.

The motd file, yes.
The config files for ulx, if you edit them, yes (They actually state to do so in capital letters at the top)
Any edited data files should be copied/edited in gmod/data/ulx.
As for the addon itself (ulib and ulx folders), no..they are best left in /addons.

Never edit addons files unless specifically told to do so :)

What file do I have to edit for the location ULX reads as the MOTD file? Or can I just type that command and be done forever?

Though just about any mod can modify the "motdfile" console variable, I believe by default we set it to gmod_root/ulx.motd.txt
From your server, copy the file there.
From your server console, type 'motdfile' and hit enter. It should point to gmod_root/ulx_motd.txt
If it doesn't, from server console, type in - motdfile "ulx_motd.txt" and hit enter
If it changes to something else again, another mod is changing it.
