There should be an "advertisements.txt" file in the /sourcemod/configs folder. That's the file that stores your advertisements.

Put this in your /cfg/server.cfg file.
I doubt your cfg/sourcemod/adverts.cfg will do anything its not a part of the process.

////// ADVERTISEMENTS 

//Enable/disable displaying advertisements(0/1, def 1) 
sm_advertisements_enabled 1 

//File to read the advertisements from.(def "advertisements.txt") 
sm_advertisements_file advertisements.txt 

//Amount of seconds between advertisements (def 30) 
sm_advertisements_interval 80 
. 
//Server command to reload the advertisements from advertisements.txt. 
sm_advertisements_reload 1

DJ T -

Is there a way to remove the callout for the color in the hintbox? In my hintbox it looks like this.

{GREEN} Follow the server rules.

And in top left it just shows.

Follow the server rules. (in green - that part works right.)

thanks - phreak

Also is it possible to make the top left view show more...a couple of my advertisements are being cut off?

im not using this plugin until i get a .cfg file for it. im not going to crowd my server.cfg with a whole bunch of nonsense.

i mean afterall isnt it common sense if your plugin has variables that you probide a config file? that should be a must for any plugin author.

hey boogaloo if you don't want to "crowd your server.cfg" then don't use the plugin. It works fine just as it is made.
What is it exactly you fear about adding cvars in your server.cfg? 30% of plugins these days ask you to add something. Ive seen server.cfg files 2 pages long and it makes no difference. Your demands are un-reasonable and your threatening not to use it sounds a little futile.

For the record, all plugin have default values. You could add this plugin to your server without having any vars in your server.cfg or elsewhere. This will enable the plugin to display advertisements every 30 seconds.

Exactly, well said.
And if the only thing that you want to change is how often the ads play, then all you need to add to server.cfg is
sm_advertisements_interval "place new value here" (def 30 as meecrob mentioned)

Nope, it isn't common sense, because automated config files break map specific config files. If you want that fixed, file a bug for SourceMod.
