I'm using a recent SVN (downloaded 1 week ago) and the motd doesnt work. It isnt appearing on connection to the server.
Here's what i have for my settings:
ulx showMotd 1
motdfile motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php
Did a Gmod update break something or is the svn broken?
-
try http://motdfile (http://motdfile) motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php
-
That's not a complete URL.
Use http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php (http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php)
EDIT:
3) NO sick/nude sprays - keep them PG-13.
darn
-
I tried that the first time and it didn't work either :S
-
Define "not working"
Not opening for players?
Errors in server/player console? (Both?)
Tried placing your url in quotes? (Shouldn't have to do this, but who knows"
And yes, using full http is recommended.
motdfile "http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php"
EDIT. Corrected httpd:// to http://
-
No lua errors, motd window doesn't show up at all.
Oddly, in the startup log, motdmenu.lua isnt loading.

That's not a complete URL.
Use http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php (http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php)
EDIT:darn
oops I copy/pasted XD
-
Did you set the motd page through xgui or through the files?
-
Through the file. When i try setting through xgui i get permission denied error (despite having access to all commands).
-
humour me and post a snapshot of the xgui menu's motd setting, make sure you're superadmin.
-
In case its my html that's messing up the motd, i reverted to the default ulx motd. It's still not showing up. My usergroup does have "ulx motd" permission and the ulx_motd.txt is in the data folder of server.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=315448171 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=315448171)
I even tried running server in sandbox mode in case the gamemode is breaking the motd somehow.
-
Ok, in the xgui, go to groups>superadmin (assuming you're superadmin) Click Manage Permissions and go to Cmds-Menus. Make sure the check box IS infact checked. If it is solid green instead of the faded green, go to groups>user and enable it the same way.

Next, go to the MOTD Settings in Settings>Server>ULX General Settings. MAKE SURE the Second check box is selected, the first one is optional. Type in your MOTD URL: http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php (http://motd.ftwgamer.com/cr-rules.php) into the box.
(http://puu.sh/bDPTs/c2571dcbaf.png)
Finally, proceed to type "!motd" in the chat or type "ulx motd" in console or of course, navigate to motd through !menu

And as you can see on my screen, it works just fine.

I personally think that page is better as a loading screen, rather than an motd.
-
ulx_motd is selected for my superadmin group (inherted from user group), but when i try to change the URL, im given the following error:
You do not have access to this cvar (ulx_showmotd), *FTW* PAL-18.
I personally think that page is better as a loading screen, rather than an motd.
My loading screen is even better, a random logo displays with a random funny gif (one of a few hundred) with a changing funny one liner. Most of the time, when people come in-game they discuss the funny weird thing they saw. Here's what it looks like: http://motd.ftwgamer.com/gmod-load.php (http://motd.ftwgamer.com/gmod-load.php) (copy/paste url into browser url bar, clicking it will display error).
-
Do you have the latest ULX? If so, try reinstalling a fresh copy.
-
I just installed the latest ULX and ULIB from svn. I even used the default groups.txt as well as the data files. Same problem.
-
Did you overwrite everything or just the groups?
-
Everything, the only file i added back was my user list and i set it to use the default groups.
-
This problem seems unsolvable, so i gave up on it :S
Thanks for all the help though.
