Hi
It's not really a tutorial, but I've made a pack to be able to get a dynamic
and graphical motd
I've modified my scripts so you have a config.php file, but all the text is
still hardcoded. It will not be difficult to modify it though.
You'll find the doc (in french and english) and a tar.gz
Hi
Using your howto and my own server scripts, I've made this MOTD:

motd.png has been replaced by a dynamically generated image.

i've had this problem, but not with dynamic info - just static. I had to
change the name of the file to get it to show the new version.
As for where the MOTD is cached, i think someone mentioned that it uses IE
offscreen and builds and renders a shot of the MOTD. I
Look forward to that Saint !

So I should make multiple copies of motd.txt and use them with map configs?
I'll try that later today or tomorrow, thank you

To disable caching of your dynamic generated image, let the php script
modify the http headers like this:
header(Content-type: image/png);
header(Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT);
header(Last-Modified: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s)
Thanks, I'll add these headers in my script and will keep you updated

If you use PHP as MOTD, then you don't need to change the headers.

I use the html file from Saint K, but the motd.png image is replaced by
motd.php which generates dynamically a png image
I've added Procyon headers to my script, but as I'm at work I cannot test
immediatly

The server-side generated image is being cached by tf2 and the solution
is to modify headers or altering the image url.

What do you mean with server side generated image? We use PHP on a webserver
to generate server status pictures and it updates fine without changing
headers.
