<help>Server Rules & other fun stuff. 
----------------------------------------- 
  
Servers Website: [url=http://www.potholestudios.com/mta]http://www.potholestudios.com/mta[/url] 
Servers Teamspeak: ts.potholestudios.com:8767 
Admin Email: [email protected] 
----------------------------------------- 
  
RULES: 
----------------------------------------- 
  
1. NO CHEATING!  
This is a very simple and easy to understand rule, Cheating is something that gives the player an unfair advantage over other players, these are things such as "Flying hack" "Speed Hack" "Ram Hack" and anything else that gives a player an unfair advantage over others. and anyone with Cheats will recive an immediate IP ban & kick from the server, No Warnings No Excuses 
----------------------------------------- 
  
2. No Arseholes.  
The beginners guide to not being an arsehole: Do not flame any other player. Do not abuse any other player. Do not Threaten any other player. And do not go out of your way to be an arsehole. Simple. 
----------------------------------------- 
  
3. Be Original.  
Do NOT join with your Nickname as either "Player" or as a Name of ANY of the Games Characters, Such as CJ, Big-Smoke, Sweet, Ryder and So on, Also don't call yourself "007" or"006" Or any 3 digit name, [As too many people use these names, it screws around with the stats.] Anyone using Names such as these will be Immediately Kicked from the server. 
----------------------------------------- 
  
4. Dont Dis-Respect Anyone.  
This is a good one, anyone who dis-respects other players will receive a Warning, if it continues, a Kick from the server. [its ok to be like... ZOMG i lost because Some Random crashed me into a corner... or whatever... but its not allright to say: Some Random Your a complete cunt, i hope you die from cancer of the cock you fuckface. [as this would also be in violation of Rule 5.]] 
----------------------------------------- 
  
5. Have fun!  
We expect that you do try to have as much fun as possible, 
keeping in mind that this is a game, and that you maintain a respectful relationship with all other players regardless as to race, creed, color, origin, or attitude. 
Tip: Lead by example, if others see that you are having fun, they will want to be part of that fun too. 
----------------------------------------- 
  
6. Do Not spam the chat. 
Do not Spam the chat with gibberish, Do not TYPE IN ALL CAPS, Do not spam your Map vote into the chat. 
If you disobey these rules, you will be Muted. 
----------------------------------------- 
  
7. SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH. 
This is an American-hosted server, Run by an Australian, Most of the admins only know one language. English. So please speak it in this server. 
Also, do not speak in 1337, Gangsta, or Idiot speak. as these will get you a Permanent Mute. [if you speak like a retarded animal, you deserve to be muted.] 
----------------------------------------- 
  
NOTE!  
Handling.cfg and Vehicles.ide Mods / Tweaks are NOT allowed in the server. as this gives an Unfair Advantage to players with them [which is also known as CHEATING]

hey, i´m not shure, but i thing you must put

  
<help popup="no"> 
  

instead of your code at the top of your code from the help.xml^^

i haven´t tested mine yet but i think that is your mistake... ^^

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT! :

yeah, i tested it and on my server, it works perfect ^^

[DazzaJay]

Thats odd, because when i was writing a help file for another script, when i used the it shoed a little thing at bottom of screen on player join "the script "name" has help! press F9 to see it" or somthing similar.

and with it didnt follow that behaviour.

basically, i want the popup at bottom os screen to say "The "Server_Rules" has help, press F9" on join.

[DazzaJay]

is there a limit to the amount of text that can be in the help file?

as i have tried all of the ideas mentioned here and still nothing.

OR did some pussy as looser put in a filter in help manager that stops help files with Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits, and so on from being displayed?
