Your motd worked fine on my server (windows). Verify that your motdfile variable (server.cfg or autoexec.cfg) points to the right file name) 'motdfile motd.htm' vs. 'motdfile motd.txt'. Also, I can go up to 2046 bytes in the motd.txt (at 2047 bytes it doesn't display anymore) Your motd.txt file is only 1396 long.
Since you have some web space I'd recommending redirecting to your website so you dont have to worry about it at all. Once you're browsing an external site in the motd window you don't have to worry about file size at all. Here's an example from my test server: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>HL2MP MOTD</title> <style type="text/css"> h1 { font-family:Verdana,Tahoma; font-size:14px; color:#008020; margin-bottom: 0; } h2 { font-family:Verdana,Tahoma; font-size:9px; color:#004010; } pre { font-family:Verdana,Tahoma; font-size:10px; color:#004010; margin-top: 0; } body { background: silver url(./sactobridge.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; background-attachment: fixed; margin-left:8px; margin-top:0px; } a { text-decoration: underline; } a:link { color: #5050C0; } a:visited { color: #204060; } a:active { color: #8080FF; } a:hover { color: #8080FF; text-decoration: underline; } </style> </head> <body> <pre> <center> <B>You are playing Half-Life 2 Deathmatch</B> Visit the official Half-Life 2 web site @ www.half-life2.com <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;URL=http://sactobox.com/MOTD/motdm.htm"> <a href="http://sactobox.com/MOTD/motdm.htm">Loading MOTD page please wait . . .</a> </center></pre> <h2><center>Questions / Comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED]</a></center></H2> </body> </html> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of moi eux Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 8:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds_linux] Re error with motd.txt -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Sorry guys for the mistake, of course we talk about the file MOTD.TXT and my file work's fine before the next update !
