I belive the welcome message plugin pops a MOTD box up on connect because the console is no longer visible in steam. Try disabling that plugin and see if it fixes the issue.

I did turn the plugin off But now I get no MOTD box at all

umm Which motd.txt should I use and where should it be
in amx I edit the one it the cs/dod root dir and it work

And other ideas

Code:

 format(g_motdFile, 63, "%s/conmotd.txt", g_motdFile);

I was This in the sma file Does this mean it is reading form the conmotd.txt?

Nope that didn't work All I got was Stuff about the server

if you have the welcome emssage plugin enabled it will read form the conmotd.txt and append it to the bottom of the amx welcome message.

if you disable that plugin the server itself reads from the motd.txt in the root of the mod folder and should display it at player connect. The server needs to be restarted for it to reread the motd.txt (or map changed)

Yes I saw that now But it only shows half of it> is that becuase of te Html I am useing in it?

yeah it has a limit on the characters.

The solution is to make your motd.txt just a url

Code:

http://www.blah.com/mymotd.html

like that, nothing else in the file.

then at that URL you put a html file you want as your MOTD.

tricky part if the scrollbars get all screwed up if its longer then one page legnth. I found a little trick to make them work though

make all your html header code ONE Line.

remove all the useless crap.....

for example mine is like this

Code:

<html><head><style type="text/css">a:link,a:active,a:visited{color: #FF8C00;text-decoration: none;} a:hover{color: #0077B5;} body{background-color: #002C42; color: #E7E7E7; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;} .bigtext {font-size: 18px;font-weight: bold;} .medtext {font-size: 16px;}</style></head><body>

that is ALL on one line.

I do the same with the closing tags

Code:

</body></html>

in between you can put any hmtl you want

blocks and w/e

If the html headers are causing scrolling.. something is seriously fscked up

yeah.... with steam.

its a weird glitch.

You know the steam MOTD box scroll bars? the brownish ones, well without doing that trick they appear but thewy wont scroll the page down at all. Sometimes the normal IE scrollbars appear also but thyey are glitchy in steam and hard to move.

If you do that trick I found the steam MOTD scrollbars appear and work as they are supposed to..... don't ask why, I know it works though. I was messing with shit for a week trying to get it to work right.
