Default rcon motd ? (message of the day) ? - 09-25-2002, 02:10 AM

Hi all.
I have looked all through this forum, but cant find an answer that really works....

How can i set (with rcon) the message of the day for a server?

i've tried all possibilities i think......to no avail.......
(not ck autokick i mean, since that does it every ## minutes or so....
i want it to show when client is entering a server)

Thanks all!

The Message of the day does not work in Mohaa. Those messages you see when you enter a server are created in the localization file. The timed messages during gameplay are from Autokick.

To make MOTD work this is what you do. This is for v1.11 of the game.

1) Open pak6 in the main dir
2) extract "localization.txt" from pak6
3) Search for "Press fire to continue"
4) Change the second part of the text where it is repeated
5) Create a DIR in your main FIR called Global.
6) Put the localization.txt in the global directoy

Run the game. You will notice that your opening screen now displays the text you have written. If you want line breaks. ie new line then all you do is use \n.

Example:-

Welcome to the\n \nKronos1 Game Server.

The above line will read like this.

Welcome to the

Kronos1 Game server

Hope this helps.

No you need to write a file called loc.txt to the server. You also need to write the global folder their as well.

If you don't have access then you can not change this. If this is a rented server you should have access via ftp or all of this.

the loc.txt file is not a script more of an txt file, just like the cfg file MOH reads for information.
