Would it be possible to show you a list of addons I have on my server instead of that?

It would but I would have no idea if one of them conflicts.

That is the collection link. Other than that, I have three vehicle addon SVNs.

Try getting rid of the SUI Scoreboard...

It's three years old and does apparently connect to ULX / ULib.

That could be it. Thank you for looking through it.

Do any of you know an updated scoreboard that shows teams or is this the only one?

What do you mean by "Show Teams"?

You mean a DarkRP job?

Like ULX teams that show people's rank. That SUI scoreboard did it.

Anyway, I removed my entire collection from my server and the problem persisted.

Here is a picture of the two commands in my config file: http://i.imgur.com/0CPLjsp.png

My only legacy addons I have are: TDMCars SVN, LWCars SVN, Talon733Cars SVN, Adv Dupe 2 SVN, and two photon car scripts that I made myself with NO ulx commands in them, obviously.

Maybe try changing the "motdfile" to "ulx_motdfile".

Otherwise I don't really know.

SUI scoreboard should be fine- I doubt it would cause any problems.

One thing you might try is making a backup of your config.txt, then deleting it. Once you restart your server, a new config.txt should be generated. Use XGUI to configure the MOTD stuff, and then see if it works.

If not, it's very likely that something is going wrong with the code that's supposed to show the MOTD on join. It could be caused by a high server load on join. If possible, I would try removing EVERY other addon besides ULX/ULib and test it on sandbox. If it STILL isn't working, then let us know- I'd be happy to hop on your server and take a look myself.

(Also, side note: how big is your ulx_motd.txt file?)

EDIT: Oh, I just noticed- you're editing your server.cfg file? ULX stores most configurations in your server's data\ulx\config.txt file. The server.cfg cvars may get loaded too early, then get overwritten by defaults when ULX loads. which might be causing your issues. Try removing any ulx-related configuration from there (along with resetting your config.txt as described above) and see if that helps.

FileZilla says the file is "4,587" but I have no idea what size measurement that's in or whatever.

FileZilla generally measures things in bytes.. so that will be 4mb (not big).

Not sure if it really matters, but 4587 is 4.5 KILObytes. 0.004 MEGAbytes.

Although I believe FileZilla measures in kilobytes, and 4587 kilobytes is equal to ~4 megabytes.

I EXTREMELY apologize for not replying. I got hit with a lot of school work and needed to get it done.

So, what you're saying is deleting anything related to ULX in my server.cfg & delete the config.txt in my data folder, correct?

EDIT:
This didn't work. Deleted the motd.txt AND config.txt and re-added both. Still nothing. There isn't even an option anywhere in ULX for it to show up. Why?

There is an option for it in XGUI but it may look different from what you remember
