Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF2 server.cfg motdfile not being respected?
That would be a good explanation for the behavior I've seen. Thanks!

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).

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.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF2 server.cfg motdfile not being respected?
While we are on the topic and I have some attention, are there any other commands which behave in a similar manner? That they require a map change to take effect. I can think of tf_birthday and tf_medieval.
