HTML Codes Motd Help

[J-English]

Hi I want to display a webpage,music or Image on my welcome motd screen when you join a server in CS:S.

Everytime i use an HTML code and place my link "YOUR LINK HERE" within the code ,I get a blank MOTD screen when i join a server..or sometime i try a different code i get the actual HTML code displayed in my motd.

Does anyone know the correct seperate HTML code for 1)Music 2)Displaying Image 3)Displaying a webpage.

Not sure if i need to configure the motd.txt or the motd_text

Thankyou

In CS:S, you should host your MOTD on separate hosting, and put just the straight URL in your motd.txt. For instance, you could construct a webpage at "motd.html" on your free webhosting here, and put this single line in your motd.txt:

Code: Select all

http://yoursite.site.nfoservers.com/motd.html

Ive used all sorts of HTML codes...i always get a blank motd screen.

If its an Image or website that i want to show at the start when players join it still gives me a blank screen.

Does this happen even when just entering the address as Edge mentioned above, with all other code removed?

with the code removed i just get the txt displaying the link http://yoursite.site.nfoservers.com/motd.html

If i code it...i get a blank motd..very strange indeed..
anyideas?

Thanks

That is strange. CS:S is supposed to show whatever is at the address if that is all that is entered. Did the address you enter include http:// and did you make sure there were no spaces before or after the address?

You may just want to have us take a look at it directly.

Just a random thought, I know hl1 uses IE cache..

Try clearing your cookies and cache for Internet Explorer and then join your server and see if it comes up.
