irritating, yes I agree - but complaining about "extra work" adding 2 cvars to your server.cfg .... seriously? It would take all of 30 seconds (longer if you try and do it with a mouse) to save yourself the future aggravation of your motd and host text files being overwritten with future updates ... hell you could even script it for future installations .....
save the following to a batch file somewhere on the same drive as your srcds installation, and edit the paths accordingly. --- @echo off cd \servers\l4d-01\l4d\left4dead copy motd.txt motd-current.txt copy host.txt host-current.txt cd cfg notepad server.cfg --- Now some copy & paste action for you: motdfile motd-current.txt hostfile host-current.txt copy and paste those 2 lines into your now open server.cfg file. File -> Exit and click yes to save when you're prompted. Now stop being lazy. -mauirixxx -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Bost Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2009 4:23 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead 2 Update Released Is it really necessary to replace motd.txt and host.txt with updates :| I had just set them up last night, granted it isn't a huge task, and I could just use cvars to change the targeted files both methods are extra work :( _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
