MOTD and Loading URL help?
How do I go about setting up a nice Loading screen and MOTD for my server? Does NFO host the url or do I need to find a separate service? and once I have the website, how do I tie it to my server?
Re: MOTD and Loading URL help?
Normally these are things you would need to create yourself but I imagine you could find a pre-paid loading screen/MOTD floating around.
To add an MOTD edit the "motd.txt" file on your server and to add a loading screen add/edit "sv_loadingurl "url"" in your autoexec.cfg.
The URL does not need to be hosted by us but many choose to use our included webhosting to host them.

How do I use NFO's url host to host an MOTD and loading screen? Does it come included with a server rental?
Re: MOTD and Loading URL help?
We include free webhosting with all standard game server purchases, yes. You can find the website listed in your control panel under "websites". You'll have to connect to your FTP and upload your custom loading screen, though.fuzzlefluff wrote:How do I use NFO's url host to host an MOTD and loading screen?

Re: MOTD and Loading URL help?
You automatically receive free web hosting with any game server purchase. You can just create a file under your public folder with the name of the picture or HTML page that you would like. Once you have the file uploaded, you just specify sv_loadingurl "http://myGameServer.site.nfoservers.com" in your server.cfg.

Re: MOTD and Loading URL help?
You should search http://www.coderhire.com for a nice motd. For a loading screen.... make your own.
Re: MOTD and Loading URL help?
You shouldn't need to browse CoderHire for a MOTD, ULX has a built in one, I don't know why you would want to spend extra money on something that is free and included.
