I have an odd problem. Everything SEEMS to work. I run a private server for myself and my friends. Testing tonight (we were working on plugins) was myself, my wife via LAN and my friend (external). They both could see the adverts no problem. I could not at all. Then once or twice I'd randomly see one. We all have admin in sourcemod with the exact same flags. I have no flags in the advertisements.txt. Any ideas?

Here's whats in there:

"Advertisements"
{
"1"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{LIGHTGREEN}[AoC] Agents of Chaos, Est. 2003."
}
"2"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{LIGHTGREEN}[AoC] Time Remaining : {TIMELEFT}"
}
"3"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{LIGHTGREEN}[AoC] Takin' noobs to school since 2003."
}
"4"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{LIGHTGREEN}[AoC] Time Remaining : {TIMELEFT}"
}
"5"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{LIGHTGREEN}[AoC] Welcome to THE GAME Team Fortress 2."
}
}

I have the same problem too. not just for adverts. But in normal chat, every now and then. I can't see people messages. As in it doesn't show up on my screen.

I only notice this because sometime when I trying to get my server going. I have my laptop running TF2 next to my desktop. And I notice the missing chat messages.

For example:

[everybody will see this]
A: 1
B: 2
C: 3

[sometime I can only see]
A:1
C

Hmm. I hadn't noticed missing chat text myself as my friends and I use Mumble for voice chat. I will ahve to experiment and see.

An Update however, was playing today, and when i log in, i see one advert message. then none for the rest of the match. HOWEVER, on map change i was recieving them all. So.../shrug i dunno lol. Maybe its something in the client or it resolves itself after a map change.

Would it be possible to add multi-language function?
ex:

"Advertisements" { "1" { "type" "S" "en" "{GREEN}[email protected]" "fr" "{GREEN}[email protected]" "ru" "{GREEN}[email protected]" } "2" { "type" "T" "en" "www.domain.com" "fr" "www.domain.com" "ru" "www.domain.com" "flags" "a" } }

I`m having the same problem as mentioned several times above.

I added a top message with a link to the community website,

this is the code

"Advertisements"

{
    "1"
    {
        "type"      "T" 
        "text"      " {CYAN}www.united-leet-gamers.com"
       }
    "2"
    {
	"type"	    "s"
	"text"      " {TEAM} Welcome to our Dust2 24/7 Deathmatch server!{LIGHTGREEN} Enjoy your stay"
}

Nothing shows up on my screen, so I thought it was not working.

but it was working, a player asked me what {CYAN} www.united-leet-gamers.com means

Then i understood that the color code was not working, also the message dont show for me.

Why this? anyone?

[blue zebra]

lol.
That txt file is full with errors. Try this working one (tested):

"Advertisements"
{
    "1"
    {
        "type"        "T"
        "text"        "{CYAN} www.united-leet-gamers.com"
    }
    "2"
    {
        "type"        "S"
        "text"        "{GREEN} Welcome to our Dust2 24/7 Deathmatch server! {LIGHTGREEN} Enjoy your stay"
    }
}

Tsunami!
Thanks for your work. This is a very useful plugin.
But please do (if you can or want) the UTF-8 coded txt file adoption in this plugin.
Reason: Now the advertisements.txt is not in UTF-8 format and now the accented characters are not supported. For example: íéáőúóüö and other mid - east and north european characters.
When i now try to use UTF-8 based advertisements.txt file, the adverts never not shown or only max. for 1 round.

[Despirator]

you have to code it to UTF-8 without BOM
