show_motd() doesnt work - Natural-Selection.

mysticssjgoku4 · **Author**

So.....
show_motd() does not work for Natural-Selection. No window, no errors, nothing.

Yes it is getting executed, yes I formatted my strings properly, NO there is not any console errors on the server, etc.

Code:

show_motd(id,message,"LOL");

Bug?

Does NS even have the MOTD window when you connect ?
If it does, it may be a different message name/structure than the one sent by show_motd().

If all from above are true, I think you should check the output of "meta game" server command, if there's a message named "MOTD" there, then hook it and print it's arguments in server console so you can re-make it manually.

Hmm, actually, when I connect, I don't think it shows an motd by default.
The ns dir does however have an motd.txt in it. Maybe there is a cvar to toggle the use of motds on servers? Or maybe you could elaborate on your solution more.

How much elaborated do you need... type "meta game" in the server console and that'll print you all the used messages, if there's one named "MOTD" than hook it ... if it doesn't exist, search through the list maybe it's named differently and hook that aswell and print the arguments in the server console.
For this to work you need a working default motd window, so make that joining one work.
Also, make sure motd.txt is not blank xD
