Hello,

I've been trying for some time now to insert messages on my server (for example, every, say 2 minutes, a message like "have fun!" or something to appear) , but i can't find the command

any1 knows anything that can help ? :-s

The easiest way is to configure the PunkBuster config file, located:

\pb\pbsvspam.cfg

The above is a part of our messages we have running on our server, as it explains the messages will come in at 30 secs from start, then repeat every 60 secs there after. If you put the messages together (like above) it will stack them up on the screen, 1 below the other.

Hope this helps

yes, but u see, im hosting for both clients that bought the original, as well as clients who have cracked versions ... so PB is out of the question, as it would kick the non-original ones ...

im intrested in another method, if possible :-(

None that i know off, and why dont people just go and buy the game if they like it so much ? £30 isnt too much to ask !

AWE4 Mod has welcome messages, they call it ticker tape, but that only appears at the beginning, PunkBuster is the only method i know of repeating messages

At the moment Im using the software RconMax that I grabbed from the misc file downloads section on the site ... I couldnt get punkbuster messages workin correctly (probably something stupid but oh well) but this software runs alongside CoD givin you the option of sendin private messages to people (ie ... warning messages etc) mass messages like welcome and recruitement or whatever you put, interval rate, auto or manual sendin if you want to do it yourself? Its the whole admin side of your server in an easy to use piece of software. Well worth grabbin!!

Hope this helps?

isn't RconMax for dedicated servers ? well i'm gonna try it, ty.
I have found some mods (like BJustReal 4.0, BJustReal Realism - BJustReal Realism )
that have included in them this kind of messaging, without using PB or Rcon programs.

I have pasted here some of the mod's .cfg paragraphs ...

//--------------------------------Server Information-------------------------------------//

// General Settings
sets .Mod "BJustReal"

//------------------------------------BJR Messages---------------------------------------//

// BJR Server messages, displayed in the lower left corner of the screen. Maximum of 10.
set bjr_message1 "This server is running ^2BJ^0ust^2R^0eal ^34.0^7."
set bjr_message2 "When spectating, press [USE] to switch between 1st person and 3rd person view."
set bjr_message3 "Have Fun !"
set bjr_message4 ""
set bjr_message5 "Shooting someone in the arm will make him drop the weapon !"
set bjr_message6 "Shooting someone in the leg will make him fall to the ground"
set bjr_message7 "When injured, you cant sprint anymore !"
set bjr_message8 "Carefully choose your class! There are big differences between them!"
set bjr_message9 "Watch out for explosions! They will toss you to the ground!"
set bjr_message10 ""

set bjr_delay 45 // Delay between messages, must be greater than 5

// BJR Next Map messages.
set bjr_mapmessages 1 // Next map messages
set bjr_mapdelay 60 // Delay between map messages, must be equal to, or greater than 60

// BJR Welcome messages.
set bjr_welcomemessage1 ""
set bjr_welcomemessage2 "The server is running ^2BJ^0ust^2R^0eal ^34.0^7."

The point is, ingame, this messages appear ! is there a way to see HOW this was acomplished from the mod ?
