Do you know anything I'm doing wrong? Since I am not exactly new to ftp's but I don't know as much as some people. Capt. Dude

shouldn't be in your orangebox folder, atleast thats what i know about my team fortress server

- The .smx file goes in [mod]/addons/sourcemod/plugins. Make sure this is loaded on the server in question.

- The config (advertisements.txt) goes in [mod]/addons/sourcemod/configs. Ensure this file has the following structure:

"Advertisements"
{
	"1"
	{
		"type"	"S"
		"text"		"Welcome to the server"
	}
	"2"
	{
		"type"		"C"
		"text"		"Join our server group for updates!"
	}
}

And so forth. More info is found in the config.

Yep it works now, Thanks now I don't have to use 75 binds on my server.

[Capt. Dude]

But it only displays two and I copied the format for other ones but I don't know what I did wrong here's the format:


"Advertisements"
{
"1"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{GREEN}Like our server? Visit us at www.dayofdefeatsourcegroup.webs.com!"
}
"2"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{GREEN}Welcome to the =[-DoD:SG-]= 24/7 Valve Maps Rotation Server! Add us to your favorites."
}
"3"
{
"type" "S"
"text" ""{GREEN}=[-DoD:SG-]= and the Renegades are looking for new members to admin our servers! Join us at www.dayofdefeatsourcegroup.webs.com!
"
}

"4"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{GREEN}Read the rules so you do not repeatitly break them and get kicked! Type !motd for the rules!"

"
}
"5"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{GREEN}Need an admin? Type /admins for a list of all available admins or type @ in team chat for an admin chat message."
}

Can you tell me what I did wrong and how to correct it?

You were missing the final } at the end if that is a complete copy and paste. so below that one from "5" add another }

"Advertisements"
{
	"1"
	{
	"type"	"S"
	"text"	 "{GREEN}Like our server? Visit us at www.dayofdefeatsourcegroup.webs.com!"
	}
	"2"
	{
	"type"	 "S"
	"text"	 "{GREEN}Welcome to the =[-DoD:SG-]= 24/7 Valve Maps Rotation Server! Add us to your favorites."
	}
	"3"
	{
	"type"	 "S"
	"text"	 "{GREEN}=[-DoD:SG-]= and the Renegades are looking for new members to admin our servers! Join us at www.dayofdefeatsourcegroup.webs.com!"
	}
	"4"

	{

	"text"	 "{GREEN}Need an admin? Type /admins for a list of all available admins or type @ in team chat for an admin chat message."
	}
}

This should work.

If you are gonna add something to the forums like that, add code and /code with brackets into is so it looks cleaner.

also, you have double quotes on this line:

"3"
{
"type" "S"
"text" ""{GREEN}

[Capt. Dude]

Okay! Thanks works better now!

Does this plugin work anymore?

I have installed
advertisements.smx into orangebox/tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins
advertisements.txt into orangebox/tf/addons/sourcemod/configs





// Advertisements 0.5
// by Tsunami
//
// Types
// -----
// C: Center message
// H: Hint message
// M: Menu message
// S: Say message
// - Colors: {DEFAULT}, {TEAM}, {GREEN}, {LIGHTGREEN}
// - Example: {GREEN}Current {LIGHTGREEN}Map: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}
// T: Top message
// - Colors: {WHITE}, {RED}, {GREEN}, {BLUE}, {YELLOW}, {PURPLE}, {CYAN},
// {ORANGE}, {PINK}, {OLIVE}, {LIME}, {VIOLET}, {LIGHTBLUE}
// - Example: {ORANGE} www.domain.com
//
// Flags (optional)
// -----
// Accepts flags of admins that will not see the advertisement.
// When omitted everyone will see the advertisement.
// When left empty only admins will see the advertisement.

"Advertisements"
{
"1"
{
"type" "C"
"text" "www.domain.com"
}
"2"
{
"type" "CH"
"text" "[email protected]"
}
"3"
{
"type" "M"
"text" "Next map is {SM_NEXTMAP} in {TIMELEFT} minutes."
"flags" "cft"
}
"4"
{
"type" "S"
"text" "{GREEN}Current {LIGHTGREEN}Map: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}"
"flags" "z"
}
"5"
{
"type" "T"
"text" "{ORANGE} Admins: friendly fire is {BOOL:MP_FRIENDLYFIRE}."
"flags" ""
}
}



I have this in the server.cfg
//Advertisements
sm_advertisements_enabled 1
sm_advertisements_file (def "advertisements.txt")
sm_advertisements_interval (def 30)
sm_advertisements_reload


After all doing that It doesn't work. Is there a way to get it to work?

[Sillium]

Did you really put it like that in your server.cfg?

If you don't want to change any setting you don't have to put anything in there! Also you are not supposed to add the "(" & ")" in the lines.

//Advertisements
sm_advertisements_enabled 1
sm_advertisements_file "advertisements.txt"
sm_advertisements_interval 30

Also check your Logs for errors!
