intro song for my server

[maverick03191989]

any idea about how to add an intro song for a Half life server? I already added one, but it plays just for 1 sec the it stops

64.94.238.48:27015 |AKA|--BLOODY MESS-- (XDM)

Aside from some sort of mod that may do this, I have also seen it done by embedding the song into the MOTD with HTML code. I'm not sure on the exact format for this, though.

This should help;

Code: Select all

<embed src="yourmusic" autostart="false" loop="false"
volume="60" />

should i replace YOURMUSIC for a song link or should i paste it as it is?

You will want to paste the link to your song there. Also change the autostart to "true". This will make the music play as soon as it is loaded.

it did not work

Can you paste back exactly what you pasted?

<embed src="sound/misc/djs_server_intro_long.mp3" autostart="true" loop="false"
volume="60" />


right in motd.txt

Try doing a hard link to the music file. Such as XXX.site.nfoservers.com/music.mp3

just like this??

<embed src="ftp://akabloodymessxdmp.game.nfoservers ... o_long.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false"
volume="60" />

actually that was my first attempt. it did not work either.

before trying both ways, my song playes for 1 sec, then it stops.

You need to do the link as if you were going to play the file via your browser. I should of also mentioned that it most likely wont work with the music file in your servers FTP. Place the music file in your websites FTP and link it to that.

So once the file is in your websites FTP, the link should be;

XXX.site.nfoservers.com/music/mysong.mp3

[maverick03191989]

nope, it did not work

<embed src="http://picosong.com/rmd" autostart="true" loop="false"
volume="60" />
is it necessary that it has to be on the website ftp?

[kraze]

That wont work. See you are linking to a page which has a media player with it linking to the mp3 file.


it needs to be to the exact MP3 file it self. Not a page or folder.

EX: XXX.site.nfoservers.com/music/mysong.mp3

it should look like the above.

I give up. Now, next question... how do i add an image to the motd.txt file?

Code: Select all

<img src="url" alt="some_text"/>
