In game messages?

[DaMegaFish]

Okay, by logging in through the console as an admin and using Adminsay I can flash messages, but how can I set it up so that I can have the server flash an adminsay message every half hour? I want to do this so I can shamelessly plug my website while Im not in the server

Any help, much thanks!

Well, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but setting

MessageOfTheDay=HAI GUIZZEE CHECK OWT MY FORUMS AT [url]WWW.FORUMS.COM[/URL]

Would enable all players on mapchange to get that message flashed on their screen.

Or alternately, if you can get it working...

UAdminMod has custom messages. This would help if you wanted say a motd on join, and then custom messages ingame that are delayed.

If youre talking about scrolling messages on your server, I use ServerAds on all 4 of my servers. Works perfectly.

 

[DaMegaFish]

Can you explain ServerAds more and how to set it up?

 

[Rogue Sergeant]

do elaborate.

And the perks are still working?

I installed ServerAds2k4 (v103), the messages are displayed just fine,
but I'm getting this in the server console:

STEAMSTATS: SECURITY CHECK FAILED - ../System/ServerAds2k4.u

so the perks and perk progress is NOT working, maybe you
should re-check your servers or you're maybe using another version
that is actually whitelisted?

If so, please share it with us

EDIT:
I've just connected to one of your servers and the messages work and my progress
on my perks as well, so please share a link to the ServerAds version you're using with us

Look in the Red Orchestra forums for those mods that are "whitelisted".
These should work with Killing Floor.
Specifically: [URL="http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=29845"][URL="http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=29845"][URL]http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=29845[/URL][/URL][/URL]

Someone correct me if I'm terribly wrong, but the engine that Tripwire uses for Killing Floor and Red Orchestra is modified (by them). That is, its not the stock engine. Therefore, not all UT mutators work with it.

All if the information needed to run a server can be found either in these forums or in the RO forums. Some effort on everyone's part will go along way in keeping this section of the forums orderly and less redundant. I see the same questions being asked and answered over and over. Its hard to address and follow the progress of the really difficult problems.

The Tripwire and RO community are some of the nicest and most willing to help folks around. Everyone can help them help the community by putting forth a little of your time and effort by looking for and posting in threads that have a similar problem as your. No need to have 100 "I can't get into webadmin...help" threads (for exampl).

I'm not singling out anyone in particular....just making an observation and offering a suggestion for the new admins new to Tripwire's games.

ServerAds

ServerAds

Where can ServerAds be obtained from. Can you do a tutorial on it also?

go here:

Download the "ServerAdsSE.zip", extract it and open up
the readme file that comes with it, it's easy to setup and works
fine.

That one's whitelisted so no problem with perks either.
