we have been working on a FAQ for you guys, heres some of the questions answered for you guys, by andrew

Q: How do I add a picture in the motd?
A: First, you'll need to host the picture. You can do so on your free webspace that we offer you. Then, you'll need to add this line in the motd.txt which is located in your control panel. The line you will add in the motd.txt would be this: <img src="name">. In the quotes you'll put the link where the picture is located.

Example:<img src="http://phatty.nuclearfallout.net/Others/omikron.jpg">
You can also edit the width and heighth of the picture.

<img src="http://phatty.nuclearfallout.net/Others/omikron.jpg" width=? heighth=?>

Q: How do I add a background color in the motd?
A:<body bgcolor=?> You'll need to know which color is which #.
here are some basic colors:
Black = #00000
White = #FFFFFF
Yellow = #FFFF66
purple = #FF00FF
green = #669933

Now this is what it would look like if I wanted my background color to be black: <body bgcolor="#00000">

Q: How do I make the text italic, or bold?
A: To make it bold, simply add this infront of the wordand this
after it.

Example: Nuclearfallout is the word I want to bold.

NuclearFallout

Now if I want to make it italic, it would look like this:

NuclearFallout
(You can also do it both)

Q: How do I change the size of the text in the motd?
A: Add this line: 
Also, It's only from 1-7.

Q: How do I change the font color?
A: 

You'll need to know the color's #. I have provided some above.

Q: How do I add a link to my clan's website!
A: <a href="URL"> Just put what you want where it says URL.

Q: I want to change the color of the link! how can I do that?
A:<body alink=?> once again, you'll need the color's #.

Q: How can I change the font ?
A: This would be the line to add in the motd:
<face =?>

Example: <face="Times New Roman">

For a sample motd and what it looks like, provided by booya

Code: Select all

<html> 

   <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> 
         <p><font color="#aeaeae"><img src="http://omikron.nuclearfallout.net/images/omi.jpg" alt="" height="155" width="575" border="0"></font></p> 
      </div>

the one thing i've been trying to figure out is...how do you know what size to make the image to fit in that stupid box?

running a 800x600 resolution what is the max image size for that box? i've asked at server.counter-strike.net and got no response.

Nick|NFo · Post by **Nick|NFo** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 4:35 pm

as you can see in booya's code

he has it set to height="155" width="575"

so I would say around there

Play with it to get the desired effect.
