had this problem a few weeks ago on tf2, it literally drove me crazy. It either didn't show anything, or didn't understand it had to render HTML and showed it as plain text. Things that can go wrong with motd are: -motdfile convar pointing to a non existent file -motd file size greater that 1.4 KB (not sure about the exact limit, but should be something like this. You can always use meta refresh to redirect to a bigger page on a web server: example http://pastebin.com/C7G4yGz3 ) -wrong encoding remember that motd is read at change map
