MOTD doesnt show uo right?

BogdanM · **Author**

Hello there

I just switched from AMX to AMXX and i realised my MOTD doesn't show up anymore.

All i get its a white background with some weird symbols.

What can cause this?

hi everybody

i have the same problem with motd, no matter if contains html code or just an iframe with external reference.
i am running linux with metamod 1.17.1 (of course), amxx 0.16, cheating-death 4.21.0, hlguard 1.60beta. phpua 1.1.0b, webmod 0.47.
i've switched back to amx and motd shows up right.
i've switched again to amxx but motd looks again white background with some weird symbols.
any ideea?

disable the welcomemsg.amx in your plugins.ini,
then your standard motd is displayed correct.

Steam has had a million problems with MOTD's, I still have the problem where it won't scroll; I've changed Scrollable or Scroll to "yes" and "no" but it hasn't had any effect.

That white background thing is a steam issue. It is not a server-side problem. I've seen a million of threads on www.steampowered.com. Search "white background" in the forums and I am sure that there is a solution listed there.
