I would also like to know how to do this. I looked through my files and couldn't find anything. But I know it's possible. Ulysses and Beat Build have it customized.

I believe it is "sv_messageboxurl <url>" or something similar

P.S. There is a modify button for a reason.

Yep that's it there spbogie
Heres mine

sv_messageurl "http://beast-computer.com/gmod9/MOTD/new_motd/garrys_mod.htm"

of course you have to change that to your own url, that just an example.

Oh, I see what your talking about there Louis, that's just the way I have my webserver set up. Just the name of a file that I keep some stuff in. You create a URL (website) and send it to that website in that line. so yours might be something like this.

sv_messageurl "http://louis.com/files/my_cool_site.htm"

You'll be putting that line there into the garrysmod/garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file.

Open the server.cfg file with notepad to edit.

Also note, that site that I put up there is fake :) you'll need to make your own.

i think you have all gone map

i just want to insert that picture into the lua loader

You know when you join a server and it downloads lua files off it before you enter the game before motd i have been on server instead of the information its got a picture inserted onto it?

Louis,
 spbogie, WildWill, and zakap have told you.
I'm telling you.
sv_messageurl "your_public_web_page/somefile.html"

Garrysmod currently defaults to
sv_messgeurl "http://www.garrysmod.com/sv_messageurl/"
