yes, this is correct

Quick question, say i have the default advertisements.txt and i set the interval to 1 it should spam adverts right? It doesn't do this for me. Even with the default setting, the first advert shows up and thats it..im playing for the next 5-6 mintues and no adverts. This is a straight forward script so i dont know what the problem could be

hey, i've got the following error while attempting to refresh advertisement:
i did add } and {

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt (*Advertisements*), (*{*), (*13*), KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt (*Advertisements*), (*{*), (*13*), KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got } in key in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt in, GREEN, (*13*), KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt (*in*), (*GREEN*), (*13*),

the following is what i've written:

} "14" { "type" "S" "text" "{LIGHTGREEN}Admin List-\n{GREEN}*bLooD\nLegend:\nBlue = Trial Admin\nYellow = Standard Admin\nYellow with * = Bronze Admin\nYellow with ** = Silver Admin\nYellow with *** = Gold Admin\nYellow with **** = Supervisor Admin\nYellow with ***** = Administrator"

i solved it..

{LIGHTGREEN}Admin List:-\n{GREEN}1. bLooD\n2. {LIGHTGREEN} noobsheep\nLegend:\nBlue = Trial Admin\nYellow = Standard Admin\nYellow with * = Bronze Admin\nYellow with ** = Silver Admin\nYellow with *** = Gold Admin\nYellow with **** = Supervising Admin\nYellow with ***** = Administrator"

did showed up in-game but unfortunately, when it only displays

Admin List:- 1. xxx 2. xxx Legend: Blue = Trial Admin Yellow = Standard Admin Yellow with * = Bronze Admin Yellow with ** = Silver Admin Yellow with *** = Gold Admin Yellow with * [cont]

what bout the rest?
([cont from above] *** = Supervising Admin
Yellow with ***** = Administrator)

why cant the author make it simpler and more user-friendly

and also he didn't put what's the word limit like max words 300 etc etc

[DJ Tsunami]

If you have a suggestion on how to make it simpler and yet still have all these options, then enlighten me. If I make it smaller then I get a million requests of people that want this and that added. And it really isn't that difficult, I explained it thoroughly in the first post.

The character limit per advertisement is 255.

lol ... i really think it's easy to set up the adverts ... you shouldn't blame the author

[gward]

I can't get this thing to work for anything. "H" and "C" will work but I'd like to use "S". This is for l4d. Here's my advertisments.txt file:

"Advertisements" {w "1" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "2" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "3" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "4" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "5" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "6" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } "7" { "type" "S" "text" "blablabla" } }

And yes the txt file is saves in /addons/sourcemod/configs/ and the advertisments.smx file is saved in /addons/sourcemod/plugins/. Also do the cvars go in server.cfg? Like just add the line

sm_advertisements_interval "60"

Thanks.

[gward]

Somehow a stray w got in there :O.... Wierd.

Anyway that works now what about the cvar thing.
