Custom message sent to players on "quit" in console
« on: December 23, 2014, 10:19:54 AM »
I have been looking everywhere for some way to change the message "server is shutting down" when someone types quit into the server console.
When i type quit i am actually restarting the server and the fact that "server is shutting down" implies the server is not going to come back, alot of players dont rejoin.

You could tsay or csay a message to all the players telling them its a restart. Changing the default message would involve changing the GMOD core files, not a good idea.

Might be able to use the GM:Shutdown to do a message in players consoles before fully quitting.
