This is great, thanks Psychonic! Going to be using this on our new motd pages.

EDIT: Just a heads up, when a user types "motd" to bring the motd window back up, the variables don't seem to be working.

Can someone please post a screenshot of this in action?

Open up any game, connect to any server, take a look at the MOTD.
That's how it looks.

Psych, I understand the intent of the plugin, but I'm trying to figure out putting it into practice.

Am I to understand I'll create a basic PHP script that uses the GET command to grab things from the plugin, and then echo them?

And will it work on a remote webserver or does it have to be directly in the motd.txt ?

All this does is allow you to put variables from the game into the motd url, customized per player/server.

You can put them anywhere in the url, as a subdomain, dir name, key or value in the GET string, etc. The latter would be the most common.

Example:

http://example.com/motd.php?name={NAME}

PHP Code:

<?php
$name = $_GET['name'];
printf('Welcome to the server, %s!', htmlspecialchars($name));

"[SMACK] BP{N}" joins the server
Url "http://example.com/motd.php?name=%5BSMACK%5D++BP%7BN%7D" is sent to him as motd.
Motd is blank white page with black text at top saying "Welcome to the server, [SMACK] BP{N}!".

I don't know what you mean. Userid is available and I cannot think of a single use for client id outside the actual game.
