Assmod MOTD

Garry's Mod general
#1

How do I set the MOTD? At the moment it is still the default which I would like removed. I tried to change it in my servers Data/ASSmod/motd.txt and the new text is now:


<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>You're Winner Roleplay Server</title>
</head>

<body>

<map name="Map" id="Map">

</map>
</body>
</html>

But I saved that and it still does not make a difference. Can anyone help?

Did you try restarting the server? I don’t see any problems with what you did.

#3

I’ve tryed that several times, but still no luck. I’ve tried rearranging things. But that also didn’t help. Does anyone know any other way of doing this?

#4

I think you can make a MOTD with ULX, but I’ve never tried.

#5

You need the motd plugin.

#6

I don’t remember downloading those. I guess I just take those for granted.

#7

Maybe you got a copy of assmod with the motd plugin. Most people don’t get the one that includes it.

#8

I have that plugin, but it still makes no difference.

#9

Does the MOTD show up? Where’s the plugin file located? Does it say it loads the plugin when the server starts (read console output).

#10

You have to edit the motd under /%sever%/garrysmod/garrysmod/data or cfg (I forget)/asssomething/motd - not under addons/assmod/assmod/motd.

#11

Not for assmod, it has its own plugin.

Used it for 2 years, I should know.

#12

I have my own server, I use assmod (And the assmotd) and that works for me.

Here’s where my working motd is located: (Changing the one in the addons folder doesn’t do anything)

917×309 36.3 KB

Way too lazy to wait for photoshop to load. Paint it is.

#13

As I said in my first post, The file I had edited already was Data/ASSmod/motd.txt.

[editline]04:37PM[/editline]

The ASSmod default shows up. the plugin is located with all my other plugins that do work. When I join the server it downloads Data/ASSmod/motd.txt.

#14

Right, because the ass_motd.lua (or whatever it’s called) plugin generates the txt file. You need the plugin for this to work.

#15

Which I have.

#16

Well, if it’s in the right spot it should work. Tell us the path to the plugin file.

#17

I had managed to change it, but now I can’t edit it again. Just stays as the first one. :bang:

Bump. Anyone? :frown:

#19

Okay… If you have saved it to Data/ASSmod/motd.txt and made sure it was saved as a .txt file then it should work.

You all have:
Sv_allowdownload 1
Right?

#20

Yes, sv_allowdownload is set to 1. Weird thing is deleteing the motd.txt file and using the default plugin .txt is still showing my old motd.
