Sigh. The page is not 23 pages long, the size is made up due to html formatting, and is quite small, and no obtrusive graphics or any of that crap.
The motd, is generated dynamically at runtime for each server, based off its configuration. Each server has a DIFFERENT MOTD. So no, putting a URL in would not work, each server has a differnet MOTD to reflect its individual configuration, understand. Uploading 40 MOTDs to a server and specifying them in a URL is also not acceptable, currently our system automates the creation and launch of game servers (and is creating the MOTD/maprotation/configuration files for us, based off that specific servers configuration on the gameserver itself and using it). " It's quite apparent that you're just too lazy to bother doing the small amount of work involved in doing what you want done" I am not lazy, your just not listening to what im saying in regards to these MOTDs. "but for some odd reason saw fit to automate the portion you've already automated" Your really not getting what im talking about, this environment is nothing like you would have come across. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clayton Macleod" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:30 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] MOTD character limit > it's very easy, very quick, and very clean, actually.
