Hi all,ive been looking at the mutator for making auto messages appear on our server.
Ill be brutally honest and admit to being totally lost while reading the readme.
Ive configured all sorts of servers in the past but this one has me stumped.
At this stage i really need assistance,im tempted to even give someone access to our server to help us out.
Sorry for being a nub but im being very honest here i just cannot figure it out.
 
i had the same problem with the mutator at first i couldnt get the messages to run on the server or they would run for a map and message log would then be empty on the next map so what i did was in the read me it say something about putting this code into the redorchestra.ini file so i put the code at the end of the file:

[Engine.GameEngine](in the area that it says)
ServerActors=ServerAdsSE.ServerAdsSE

[UWeb.WebServer](in the area it says)
Applications[2]=ServerAdsSE.WebAdmin
ApplicationPaths[2]=/ServerAdsSE

[ServerAdsSE.ServerAdsSE]
bEnabled=True
fDelay=300.000000
sLines[0]=This is the first line
sLines[1]=And this is the second line
sLines[2]=#This is a Admin Message
iAdType=0
iGroupSize=2
bWrapAround=True
bUseURL=False
sURLHost=
iURLPort=80
sURLRequest=
iAdminMsgDuration=5
cAdminMsgColor=(B=0,G=255,R=255)

then after that it seemed to work but what i did then was where the code says slines[o] etc i put my text in them:
sLines[0]=VIST US AT LOFTYSMISFITS.ORG.UK
sLines[1]=WE ARE RECRUITING VIST LOFTYSMISFITS.ORG.UK FOR DETAILS
sLines[2]=BOOKMARK US IN YOUR FAVORITES
sLines[3]=ENJOY YOUR STAY
sLines[4]=**PLEASE NOTE** YOU MAY GET KICKED TO MAKE WAY FOR CLAN MEMBERS
sLines[5]=PLEASE RESPECT OTHER PLAYERS
sLines[6]=THIS SERVER RUNS WITH FF ON

and this works fine hope this helps you out if it doesnt pm me and see if i can help you some more

Originally, I had 3 messages displaying. Two at the lower left and one admin message. I just installed the TK mutator and now only the console message shows up. I also have voting at the end of a round. Before we could see who voted for what. Now we can't.

I suspect that I either don't have something set up right in the TKMutator or there is a conflict.

I did not fully comprehend one of the ini file's for the TKMutator.
[MutROTeamKillChat.MutROTeamKillChat]
Forgivestring=np
bEnabled=True
bLogChat=False
sFileFormat=ChatLog_%P_%Y_%M_%D_%H_%I_%S
[Engine.BroadcastHandler]
bMuteSpectators=False
bPartitionSpectators=True

Could someone please explain the options.
ie. Forgivestring=np (someone types in "np" to forgive a TK'er....I get this one)
what are the rest.

Thanks

Floyd
