Server Welcome Messages Not Working?

[Luckyg]

We have setup a server welcome message for our server through the web admin page and I can verify that it has applied to the .ini file correctly, however when we go in game and connect to the server all we see on the "Server Welcome Screen" is the blank background.

Now i know I may have missed an command to enable the Server welcome screen but all the settings appear to have been setup correctly (clan motto, server image, website, messages e.t.c)

Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me being plain stupid

 

[zuff]

Not working for me either. After changing it in the web admin it doesn't show up when joining the server.

Yes our server has the same issue.

 

[Walwolf]

Yes, ours was working fine, then all of a sudden it has stopped showing up.

What is strange is that the welcome screen displays the banner etc... in the webadmin tool - it shows everything, but when we connect to the server it isnt there. Not sure what is going on.

 

[Walwolf]

So I reduced the amount of text I have in the welcome message and re-uploaded and now it is displaying again.

 

[Lunatitch]

Same problem here - have reduced the text will check if it works again

 

[[KH]Jman]

Do you know what the character limit is? perhaps you could count for us please. Thx.

Our MOTD doesn't seem to work either, just sits there saying "connecting..." then shows nothing

 

[[KH]Jman]

Well I shortened it to just a few words and it still does not appear. I am using a custom banner however, but even when I remove that it still does not display any text.

 

[Duckeh]

It's not working on our either.

From the mailing list:

It turns there is a problem with the webadmin tool saving the text color incorrectly and making it invisible. We'll fix this, but in the meantime you can manually set the color in your ROGame.ini file in this section:

[ROGame.ROGameInfo]
ClanMottoColor=(R=0,G=0,B=0,A=255)
ServerMOTDColor=(R=16,G=0,B=0,A=255)
WebLinkColor=(R=16,G=0,B=0,A=255)

Make sure the alpha is set to 255, as that is what the problem is. It was setting the alpha to zero which is invisible.

Regards,

John

The ServerMOTD also needs to have quotes around it.

After the patch our MOTD disappeared tried this fix but nothing shows on the screen, not even the banner that was there, now its just blank.

Where can I look to find if the MOTD is still turned on.

 

[Lush]

Same with our server, will try fixes when i get home

No it does not..

Similarly having issues of a blank page -- does anyone have a working example to share, verbatim, so that we can have a little more to work with? I've tried all of the above..

same, although i think my config keeps resetting its alpha channel to 0, however my banner has never worked since the beginning of the beta

 

[BigMorgan]

Setting the Alpha to 255 manually and then setting the ROGame.ini to read-only still has not resolved this issue for us.

Would someone with a working example please post?

ServerMOTD=This is our message of the day ...@nl@@nl@Welcome to the 1ST AIRBORNE TANK ONLY HC SERVER@nl@@nl@@nl@
ServerMOTDColor=(B=255,G=255,R=255,A=255)

Set them all to 255 for white.

I uploaded the banner in PNG and I set all "A=255" and it work now.
