CSGO Motd Problems

Post by J-English »

trying to figure out why i cant display motd in CSGO properly.
I either get a blank grey screen using www.nomercykillers.com or adding Http at the begining.

Or

Using photobucket does not link a direct image,it actually links the photobucket page with the link of the display picture,NOT the display link itself.

Any Ideas?

I haven't heard of any issues with the CSGO MOTD lately. It is possible they changed the way it works in CSGO.

Have you tried formatting it with HTML?

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">



<html lang="en">



<head>



	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

	<title>Title Goes Here</title>



</head>



<body>

<p>This is my web page</p>



</body>



</html>


That's merely just a guess but worth a try. Did the MOTD ever work properly?

will give this a try,It use to work properly,but that was a while a go even before the steam workshop arrived.
Ive just recently created a new csgo server.
so you could be right,might just be the way it works differently now.

Some webhosts (like photobucket) prevent hotlinking by checking the referrer. I recommend putting just a URL in your motd.txt, and making sure that it's a site that we host here, as we know that our sites do not have such a restriction.
