That would be a good explanation for the behavior I've seen. Thanks!
Solution: Move motdfile options to autoexec.cfg

Is it really new or are you just now noticing it?
Hint: It's the latter.
motdfile and motdfile_text don't take effect until the map change
after you set them.
Which means they don't get set for the first map if you set them in
server.cfg, because server.cfg gets executed after the map change.
If you want to set them before the first map, you need to do so in
autoexec.cfg, the server's startup line, or in a file that you +exec
from the startup line (also useful for sv_setsteamaccount).

Hi all
I am using a nonstandard filename for motdfile, but it is not being
respected. It is also notable that my motdfile_text is also not being
respected in the same way, but that's the same issue.
My server.cfg has the following line:
motdfile "motd.html"
And then, that file has a single-line http:// reference to the real
MOTD.
This is on a test server, so I have a lot of room to mess around.
I've replaced the entire server.cfg and removed the addons folder to
no effect. I don't think I am doing anything else funny which might
be related to this issue.
It is notable that despite the above command in server.cfg, the
server console says:
"Set motd from file 'cfg/motd.txt'
But if I type "motdfile" to see what the current setting is, it says:
motdfile
"motdfile" = "motd.html" ( def. "motd.txt" )
So, the command was evaluated by the server, but isn't being
respected for some reason.
This is on Linux FYI.
I know that this was working yesterday, because I was working on a
MOTD then. Now, today, after the update, it's not working. Is this
something broken today, or did I just not notice this behavior before?
