I would be careful what you wish for. Remember the MOTD is sent to the clients in the UDP stream in 180 byte (roughly) chunks. The bigger the MOTD the more of these packets have to be sent (this can lead to lag and client update buffer over flows). Using redirect allows a small amount of data to be sent via the UDP channel while the larger web data gets downloaded through a separate TCP channel not connected to the hlds server.
Sending more data down the UDP channel really does not do you any favors. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Hartland Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] MOTD character limit We all know that redirect works but its not the best solution just increasing the max message size to something reasonable is.
