Modt.txt ?

Post by slyder04 »

Ok ive been messing with modt.txt and i was wanting to know is there a place i can put the modt just to look at it with out having to get into my server.

also i seen the forum that tells u how to do most of it but it doesnt help out completely i had to model ours a little off the example is there anywhere else that explains it more in detail
cuz the example has stuff the forum q&a doesnt show u how to do

well you can either just open it in your control panel and copy all the contents into a new text file on your computer (which you will save as motd.html) or you can download it straight from your FTP (there is a link in your "file manager" that will bring you to the ftp).

once you have renamed it to motd.html paste it into a web editor like First Page 2001 http://www.evrsoft.com/ Then you can see exactly how any changes will affect your motd.

Here is mine. Your welcome to use it as a template to get you started, just change the link addresses to reflect your own web space. If your not sure how, just create two folders on your web space. "Images" and "Sounds". Upload any pics to images and any sounds to the sounds folder

Come by our server and see it in action at "efs.nuclearfallout.net:27015"
I hope this helps. I just ask that you dont direct link to my sounds, images, and ss, because i think we are already pushing our bandwidth limit.

When you get it to you liking, save it, or rename it to motd.txt

Code: Select all

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Team Omikron</title>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#000000">
		<div align="center">
			<p><font color="#ffff00">Team Omikron</font></p>
			<p><font color="#aeaeae">www.teamomikron.com</font></p>
			<p><font color="#aeaeae">#team.omikron @ irc.GameSurge.net</font></p>
			<p><font color="#aeaeae">Hosted by : NuclearFallout<br>
					Visit <a href="http://rentals.nuclearfallout.net/rent.php?content=order&referrer=teamomikron">http://rentals.nuclearfallout.net</a> to get your own</font></p>
