[hlds_linux] TF2 is using a default MOTD
Hello, I have just converted our TF2 server to an Event 24/7 server for the Doomsday event. I have a custom MOTD for the server, and the files are called motd_uc.txt and motd_text_uc.txt. I have set motdfile and motdfile_text in server.cfg, and the running server's config shows that it is set: find motdfile motdfile = motd_uc.txt ( def. motd.txt ) game - The MOTD file to load. motdfile_text = motd_text_uc.txt ( def. motd_text.txt ) game - The text-only MOTD file to use for clients that have disabled HTML MOTDs. However, I continue to see a default MOTD when I connect to this server. It says Welcome and Happy Halloween! at the top, and then lists a bunch of maps. Is there something I'm missing? I swear the custom MOTD used to load on this server just fine. Is this due to it being an event server? Thanks!

I've found that setting it in the launch parameters makes it stick: +motdfile motd_uc.tx +motdfile_text motd_text_uc.txt On 30 October 2014 15:21, David Parker dpar...@utica.edu wrote: Hello, I have just converted our TF2 server to an Event 24/7 server for the Doomsday event.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 is using a default MOTD
Awesome, thanks. Does it need to be in the cfg directory, or the tf parent directory?

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 is using a default MOTD
MOTD has to be set before a map loads. i.e. if you wanted to put it in a config file it belongs in autoexec.cfg rather than server.cfg. autoexec.cfg is executed only once at startup, server.cfg is executed on every map change. +commands on the command line are also only executed once at startup.
