MOTD Help - Page 2

No...

ShowMOTDPanel needs a string representing the file path / url
you cant send it a handle...

look at the docs.. when it says string, it means it ;]
http://docs.sourcemod.net/api/index....d=show&id=121&

I'm going to have to start showing the MOTD window soon, so if youve not figured it out by then i'll post how i did it

gah! The forums broken! It says you've posted KM but i can't get onto the second page

Edit: Now i can!

EDIT2: Yeah i read up on it... i was going to suggest the handle to the file and then if that didn't work saving the text into a string buffer and displaying it that way.

@TheDOO: you could try something like this-

PHP Code:


			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"></HEAD>
<BODY>
Optional page text here.
</BODY>
</HTML>

As opposed to any actual text in there!

Well can you show us how you did it because i'm trying to add this to and i'm getting some problems to... i tryed to do it with

Code:

new temp[1299];
temp = "My Info!!!";
ShowMOTDPanel(client, "Jetpack INFO", temp, MOTDPANEL_TYPE_INDEX);

but i'm keep getting errors tho :p ( i guess it's the MOTDPANEL_TYPE_INDEX ) but i don't realy know where to find the different type's.. can someone tell me where to find it? was looking in http://docs.sourcemod.net/api/ but no luck there.

#define MOTDPANEL_TYPE_TEXT 0 /**< Treat msg as plain text */
#define MOTDPANEL_TYPE_INDEX 1 /**< Msg is auto determined by the engine */
#define MOTDPANEL_TYPE_URL 2 /**< Treat msg as an URL link */
#define MOTDPANEL_TYPE_FILE 3 /**< Treat msg as a filename to be openned */

Yeah, I knew about the webpage way, but was trying to have it just display the file from the server. How would you go about saving the text into a string buffer?

KMFrog, if you could show me how you do it, i'd be very grateful.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Thanks again pred with MOTDPANEL_TYPE_TEXT it works perfect.

TheDOO · 12-28-2007 , 02:00 Re: MOTD Help

Yeah I still can't get it to work. When I use MOTDPANEL_TYPE_FILE, it's not reading from the server, just the client, so it's not showing anything.

V0gelz · 12-28-2007 , 15:16 Re: MOTD Help

then i guess we will have to make them download the .txt :/

TheDOO · 12-29-2007 , 05:17 Re: MOTD Help

Well I want it to show a serverside motd.html since text is limited on how much is displayed. And they can't download a .html file, at least I couldn't get it to work. There must be something I'm doing wrong.

V0gelz · 12-29-2007 , 09:54 Re: MOTD Help

Well ye, and if we make a change they won't see the changes in the html or txt file..
