After garrys update the motd seems not to be working on my server. Everything else works fine though. It shows some TF2 map cycle.
-
Garry probably added the motdfile cvar again, just set it to the ulx motd.

Garry probably added the motdfile cvar again, just set it to the ulx motd.
I do that how exactly?
-
I believe it's motdfile "blah" in console.. Could be wrong though.
Also, Megiddo, Noticed an issue with MOTDs that may have been caused by the update (or the above issue)-- If you set ulx_showMotd to a URL, then change it back to ulx_showMotd 1, it will still only show the URL rather than the MOTDfile. Any way to fix that?
-
So do I have to set it in the servers config? and do I just put ulx_motd.txt?
-
A couple of new questions...
What is the location of the motdfile relative to?
and
Do we use motdfile or motdfile_text?
-
Use motdfile, it's relative to the root directory.
-
Aell I tried motdfile addons/ulx/ulx_motd.txt and nothing happened. Are we suppose to put it in cfg? (Server is a little full so kinda hard to try.)
-
Just do ulx_motd.txt not all that other stuff.
-
Still seems not to be working...
-
I can confirm that this isn't working.
It showed some standard counter-strike one at my server. Then i tried overriding the motd.txt in cstrike folder and it just showed white :S. Then i setup a webserver where I can host our motd and wrote ulx showMotd "url" which works
-
The actual modified custom MOTD file goes straight in the root folder and should be named "ulx_motd.txt"
(I say this because there's a default 'template' thing in addons/ulx that should not be modified),
so to fix this, put this in your cfg/server.cfg file (otherwise it resets itself):
motdfile "ulx_motd.txt"
This is assuming you haven't renamed or moved it.
-
I figured out my problem, I was thinking superadmins would be able to change it. After I used rcon it works fine, just seems to be a little wide.
EDIT: Ok I'll put that in the cfg.
-
Added 'motdfile ulx_motd.txt' to our config to fix it in the mean time, since garry's probably going to end up removing that cvar again at some point.
