[TF2 Request] Larger MOTD Windows

[404UserNotFound]

I know that a plugin already exists that causes the MOTD window to stretch out to the size of the entire screen.

However, it seems nobody has made a plugin that replaces the base "motd" command with a new "motd" command that brings up an enlarged MOTD window.

So I'm just wondering if someone here could make a plugin that makes the MOTD window enlarge when you connect to the server, and when you say "motd" in chat.

That'd be dope.

Anyone?

Heck, if someone had a code snippet lying around for a function that opens a large-sized MOTD, taking the URL to load up from motd.txt of course, that would be very helpful.

If I had that, I could probably do the rest (large MOTD on connecting/saying "motd" in chat) myself.

Well this sucks :P

Are there any plugins on the forums currently that are already coded up to open the larger MOTD window?

If so, I could possibly "reverse engineer" it, figure out how it opens the larger, full-screen MOTD, then see if I can get a plugin together that opens the fullscreen MOTD during the following:

1. When someone does "motd" in the console/chat
2. When someone connects to the server

Cvars:

dynamicmotd_url - Url to use, including info tokens. "" for default.
dynamicmotd_title - Title to use for motd window (on supported games), including info tokens. "" for default.
dynamicmotd_big - If enabled, uses a larger MOTD window on supported games. 0 - Disabled (default), 1 - Enabled. If this is enabled, MOTD is delayed until first team selection.
dynamicmotd_custom - The value here will be used when replacing the {SERVER_CUSTOM} token.

Did you ever find this? I have been looking for the same thing to use with web shortcuts to open my !forum in the larger MOTD window.

See the post linked directly above yours.

Not to sound blunt, but the post directly above his links to a way to replace the MOTD with a larger one, not a web shortcut (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=510469).

The code in the motd plugin could be inserted into the web shortcuts plugin with very little effort.

There is issues with that edit... The page refreshes every time you die and its very annoying.

That's a known side-effect of the 'big' motd panel, caused by a quirk on the client.

Death, I have a good enough fix for that now, shall I message you the Web Shortcuts (Redux) fix? (Or, if you just use it for MOTD I can send you a temp version for that instead)

Yes I would greatly appreciate the web shortcuts (redux) fix. Thanks!

I would also like to get a copy of that if I could.
