I had given up trying to fix the problem, but without fixing it, it has caused more problems. I need to know how to get it to work. I have edited the motd.txt with html to my likings. I just cannot get it to pop up when you enter the game. I go to the Admin Menu and press the motd button and still nothing pops up. Why is this?

Okay I found out that I need to update ulx via SVN. I have tortoise SVN. How do I go about updating it with my SVN program? What is the URL I need to put in it and password if there is one.

Sorry nevermind I fixed the problem. I am just retarded and don't read before I start asking for help.

Thank you for the smile your post gave me Langston.
If only our other visitors were as diligent. :)

I have the same problem. I would appreciate if someone could tell me what causes the problem, since I hate using SVN.

I'm lazy, so I'll post my answer made from the Beast Build community forums when a member asked the same.

If you're using 3.30 release, we released that right after Garry updated Gmod.
Garry left out a Source console variable named motdfile from the update.
We managed to release without noticing this.
If you're using official 3.30,
Next time you're on your server console, try typing
lua_run CreateConVar( "motdfile", "motd.txt" )
This is the exact same command we use to create it in our latest SVN code to work around Garry's omision

He changed that fact after our release Jam.

Ok. Thought it was before.
Either way, I blame Garry for most of our releases.
Seems every revision he makes, we have to make a new release.
This isn't due to bad coding on our part of course, but the fact Garry seems to like breaking compatibility with previous "Glua" functions constantly.
