Guys, help! Colors ARE NOT working. What I should do?

Config:

"Advertisements"
{
	"1"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"{GREEN}Добро пожаловать на Иркутский сервер Team Fortress 2!\n{LIGHTGREEN}Skype администратора: {GREEN}antigreefer"
	}
	"2"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"{VIOLET}<< Вы играете на Иркутском сервере TF2 >>"
	}
	"3"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"{OLIVE}По вопросам помощи серверу писать в скайп: {LIGHTBLUE}antigreefer"
	}
	"4"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"{GREEN}Карта: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}"
	}
	"5"
	{
		"type"		"S"
		"text"		"{ORANGE}Главный администратор: {LIGHTBLUE}[| R41NB0W F4CT0RY |]"
	}
}

For me top message ("type" "T") don't work so i can't help you. (i use the plugin on L4D2)

But for chat message ("type" "S"), you use the wrong color code.

// S: Say message
// - Colors: {DEFAULT}, {TEAM}, {GREEN}, {LIGHTGREEN}
// - Example: {GREEN}Current {LIGHTGREEN}Map: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}

You have more explanation in the advertisement.txt given with the plugin.

Is it possible to somehow edit the plugin to make it show certain advertisements on a specific map? This would be useful for my server since some plugins are disabled depending on the map, and I'd like to let players know of it easily.

Going to assume you're after tf2, but I believe it works in most/all source games. Say you want gravelpit specific avertisements

Make a file at '/tf/maps/cfg/cp_gravelpit.cfg' and set the "sm_advertisements_file" cvar to where ever your advertisement file is, since it's default is in 'configs' (i'd suggest something like 'advert/mapname' instead of just 'mapname' would be hard to track). And just setup your advertisements like before.

I haven't used this functionality before, so it might be slightly different.

Oh, that's useful. Didn't know such a cvar existed, thanks for the tip.

I had issues getting this to work properly, but reloading the plugin after every map change seems to have fixed it.

For the Links can you make it so they are clickable?

As far as I'm aware, no source game supports clickable links? (Confirmation welcome) You could always use WebShortcuts https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1607261 to open an MOTD when a player uses a command.

ie; Advertise your links as !forum or !help, !rank etc and setup the WebShortcut to hook onto it. That's what I do. Works pretty well.

So I have the plugin installed and the announcements themselves are working great; however, I can't get any of the console commands (ie. sm_advertisements_reload) to work.

I put the .smx file in the plugins folder and the .txt file in the configs file and again, the announcements are working great.

Do I need to download the .sp file and put it in the scripting file in order for my console commands to work?

This is on an Insurgency Dedicated Server running SourceMod 1.7.3.

Thanks!

So I found the posts saying I needed to manually create an advertisements.cfg file or just add the CVARs to my server.cfg file - I opted for the latter, as the fewer CFG files I have to worry about, the better.

Here is what I added to my server.cfg file to start with...

//////// PLUGIN STUFF

////Advertisements
//Enable/disable advertisements(0/1, def 1) 
sm_advertisements_enabled 1 
//Advertisements file
sm_advertisements_file advertisements.txt
//Amount of seconds between advertisements (def 30)
sm_advertisements_interval 3600
//Server command to reload the advertisements from advertisements.txt
sm_advertisements_reload 1

This, though, broke the advertisements altogether.

So I modified the additions to:

//////// PLUGIN STUFF

////Advertisements
//Enable/disable advertisements(0/1, def 1) 
sv_advertisements_enabled 1 
//Advertisements file 
sv_advertisements_file advertisements.txt 
//Amount of seconds between advertisements (def 30) 
sv_advertisements_interval 3600
//Server command to reload the advertisements from advertisements.txt. 
sv_advertisements_reload 1

That got the advertisements working again, but the interval is still set to the default of 30 seconds and I can't get the reload command to work.

Oiy vey.
