Just thought I'd post the final version of my motd code. I had to pull
the images another two pixels in from the edge to make it ten pixels
from the edge. There was a bit of distortion on the edge that I didn't
notice until I looked closely at the motd in a mod with different colours.
Anyway,
Anything you can put into the server.cfg needs a "+" if you put it in the
command line.
Options which are only accessable during startup have a "-" in front.

Perhaps a "/" should be backslash-escaped if you're using it one way,

This is the way I had it originally where all my configs were just numbers

There is a bug in the srcds_run script where -fork is supposed to automatically

It's the nature of multiplayer gaming; most people will invariably come

to make a campaign-style multiplayer game where you succeed or fail as a
