Dank Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Is there anyway to have the motd display longer than what it currently does. Doesn't really give a player enough time to read it. spanks
Dgtadude Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 There is not an away to make it longer right now but they should put one of those scroll things in it , If possible . OR maybe even something that you press like a letter on the keyboard and press the down or up arrow .
Dank Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 Agreed, even a /motd command would be nice.
b0b0 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 I would like the ability to scroll down and press the "I Agree" button
Robpol86 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 i use underscores to force it to be the way i want it to be, kinda
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted November 30, 2003 MTA Team Posted November 30, 2003 an motd or message of the day isn't there to put ur server rules but to have, well a massega of the day like a quote of the day or something. Something small, not 15 pages of text
Robpol86 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 hmm, then were can i put the rules? ppl will be confused when i ban them for a reason which they dont know
Dank Posted November 30, 2003 Author Posted November 30, 2003 Strange because MoTD.txt is usually used for rules and admin contact information. Don't remember seeing many quotes... But I am just goin by a few multiplayer games I've played... Quake2 Quake3 HalfLife UT UT2k3 GlobalOps RTCW BF1942
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted December 1, 2003 MTA Team Posted December 1, 2003 come on, the name motd says it : message of the day
Robpol86 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 hmm, then were can i put the rules? i expect an answer from sum1!!!
SM xenex Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) Blokker is right the MOTD.txt is for message of the day ( obviously) but it has to be used as a place to set your rules and info etcetc since there isnt another place to put it ,there is no RULES.txt Edited December 2, 2003 by Guest
Iggy Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Yes its a very nice spot for the rules since everyone has to see it if the decide to play.
Robpol86 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 no, not if they decide to play but upon entry of server. some little bastards like to spam their server in others, which i ban them if i catch them. and i cant say "read the motd" cuz they didnt join the game (even though its common sense)
SM xenex Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Ok if the MOTD.txt has to used for message of the day then why not make another file,like i said before RULES.txt or something but, i think it would be better if when entering a server as rob said, when you press connect a pop up window of some kind opens and there is your rules there,and people have to click a yes button in order to enter the server or they get disconnected.Would this be possible?
Robpol86 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 i dont want a "disclaimer" on a gameserver..... just showing the rules and them knowing that staying in the server means they agree (common sense, thats how rules usually work)
Dank Posted December 3, 2003 Author Posted December 3, 2003 5 more seconds of display time would be enough, IMO. Disclaimer, lol. Click Agree or disagree.
Robpol86 Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 no, ill be damned if players in my server have to always hit "i agree". that would get hella annoing. wat other game does this? NONE (right?)
SM xenex Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Ok ok you are right but only reason i said that is that way you know atleast a bunch more people have read your rules.Well even that doesnt quarentee that they will folow.but oh well i think now you get my point.
