I'm currently hosting a Left 4 Dead versus server. I've been trying to fix so that players can contact me or anyone else in an IRC channel, so I found IRC Relay that is a sourcemod plugin. It worked, sort of... but it's so buggy I removed it today - there has to be a better solution!

So I was thinking, what if I install a java IRC client and point the motd.txt to it, so people could just chat in there if necessary? I knew it was a long shot and I suspected it wouldn't work, the in-game browser doesn't support java applets.

So now I got one last idea and that is to have a link on the website the motd.txt is pointing to and when they click it in-game, their original browser should pop up (the game will lose focus of course... anyone got any better idea than this - bring it on Toungue). I'm pretty sure I've seen a similar thing in another server's motd where it brought up my original browser, I could have remembered it wrong though :/.

Well, if someone got a better idea how to make the players able to contact admins outside the game, please enlighten me Smile.

Thanks in advance!
