Hello everyone!
I've played in a few servers with an 'motd' say command, but none were SM so I decided to make this. I'm taking feature requests, comments, anything. Let me know. The reason why I use a URL is because I couldn't figure out an *efficient* way to make it display the server's MOTD. Also, it's only CONFIRMED working with CS:S.. if anyone tests on other mods, please let me know!

Description:
Displays the set URL to a user when they say 'motd', 'rules' or an admin forces them to view with 'sm_motd' command.

CVars:
sm_motd_url "http://www.google.com/" - Obviously don't leave this at google. Set this to the URL of your server rules.

Commands:
sm_motd <user id# | name> - Forces display of rules to a user, also in chat writes '<admin> thinks that <name> needs to read the rules!'
say motd - Displays rules to the user
say rules - Copy of above comand

Installation:
1) Only plugin file is required. Click 'get plugin' and save it to your 'addons/sourcemod/plugins' folder.
2) Add a line to 'server.cfg' like this for example:

// SM MOTD Rules URL
sm_motd_url "http://www.m3studiosinc.com/work/gameserver/motd.php"

ChangeLog:
Version 0.2.1:
-Name change
-Small bugfix

Version 0.2.0:
-First release.

It would be nice if a client could type "motd" without the server announcing that "client thinks that client should read the rules!".

can you put in a variable , which set that se rules are displayed @ join or not ?

I have a suggestion to build this plugin out a bit.
Instead of restricting it to show only a rules motd why not have it show any kind of information you want? And the server owner decides what should be shown.

I made a plugin for amxmodx where you say /help in say.
A menu pops up with a list of help sections. In the menu you can select:
1. Admins
2. Commands
3. Rules
4. General info
bla bla

Anything ...

I hard coded the help files and they are just text files in the game folder.

But it would be nice with an ini file in the form:

Rules, rules.txt, http://www.mysite.nu/rules.php
Admins, admins.txt, http://www.mysite.nu/admins.php
Rules, rules.txt, http://www.mysite.nu/rules.php
General info, geninfo.txt, http://www.mysite.nu/geninfo.php

If the ini file misses a link to a php page it shows the txt file in the motd.

And an admin could say sm_help <nickname> <number of help file>

That would be very very useful I think.

But if youre not interested I might hack up something myself based on your plugin, if thats ok .

Working on EmpiresMod.

I think you're missing a return Plugin_Handled statement from your console command sm_motd, as I get a message back that says no such command, but it shows the chat message and shows the client the MOTD.

You can accomplish this same thing if you have the webshortcuts plugin installed. I just set the triggers MOTD and RULES to open my motd page.

Just a heads up to those who may have webshortcuts AND this installed.

That's covered by Chundo's Helpmenu plugin

Does this work with the dod:s Orange box?
It starts out Okay but the Motd only stays up for a second then goes to a webpage error.
