MOTD Issue!
« on: July 18, 2015, 11:47:31 PM »
Hi I host with NFO and I am using filezilla to access the ulx_motd txt file. I replace all the HTML with a link which should work, I save and restart but it is still default. Any idea's?

To elaborate, you have to go into XGUI, find ULX settings, MOTD settings, check the boxes 'show motd on player join' and the box 'show from a url instead of motd.txt" and place the URL in the box.
You can't just replace everything in the file with a URL.

You should also be able to use console, from server or superadmin game console,
Code: [Select]
ulx showMotd "http://www.google.com/"
(using google as example, would be your url)

My motd url box is grayed out too. I use the ulx showmotd function in my server.cfg

I just pushed a fix for the greyed out MOTD URL checkbox.
