HALP ME! MESSAGE_OF_DAY

[pk4eva2]

Hay my name isHELLand i have setup a message of the day in my custom server file

i randomly placed it with a space above and below it in the code
MESSAGE_OF_DAY (blah blah blah blah)

how do i make it show before rounds? or when they join is it supposed to be like

MESSAGE_OF_DAY helllo this r teh message

or is it supposed 2 have a colon?

MESSAGE_OF_DAY is displayed fullscreen and on thier console only when they enter.

CONSOLE_ROUND_MESSAGE is displayed every new round.

You do not need colons for anything in those two settings; they don't do nothin'.

[noob13]

ROUND_CONSOLE_MESSAGE is displayed every new round.

FTFY

[Tobe]

Which dedicated server version are you running; or are you running it on your client?

EDIT: Oh i just realized what noob13 meant. Yea, the command is actually ROUND_CONSOLE_MESSAGE

Quick addition to this question's topic.

Putting "message_of_day Hello" displays in fullscreen: Message of the Day: Hello.
Is there a way to customize the "Message of the Day" bit with something else?
Or is there another command that does the same without the obtrusive "Message of Day" on the top? "fullscreen_message" doesn't get sent to entering players so I don't think it's a replacement.

There is, actually. Use TITLE_OF_DAY to change the Message of Day header.

Hey,

Sorry dumb question I know, but how do you make the message start printing on a new line? I've tried both forward and backslash, it just prints them on the screen

Thanks,

By "\n". Example:

Code: Select all

Hello\nHow are you.

would be

Code: Select all

Hello
How are you.

Wonderful! Thank you.

Also

Code: Select all

\<newline>

eats the new line so I would recommend you to do something like this:

Code: Select all

first line\n\
second line
