A week or two ago my MOTD simply stopped showing up. I haven't made any changes at all to it, and yet panel it shows up in is simply blank. I originally used the default MOTD to create it.
Also, I am working on an MP mod with several other people, and we are having a similar problem: only the first character shows up.
I have tried putting motdfile motd.txt in my server.cfg just in case.
Here is the MOTD from my HL2DM server:
Also, a quick question on another topic. I asked something similar before and was pointed to something that wasn't very helpfull (too complicated :/)
I want to set up a simple mapvote on my server where 5 minutes before the current map ends people can vote for one of several maps chosen randomly (or simply loaded) from a .txt file to be loaded when the map changes. If a enough people vote and one map gets more than a certain percentage then that will be loaded.
I know mani is capable of this, however, I have read many times that it doesn't work very well with HL2DM. I also looked at Beetle's, SAP, and a scripting language I just didn't understand. Anyone have a recommendation for which one will actually work with HL2DM, work the way I want (not rockthevote) and can easily have all the other worthless garbage (like sounds, glowing, admin levels, and special commands etc.) disabled?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Mr. Happy's Happy Hills - HL2DM server!
I hope you enjoy your stay.
This server has NO BOTS, NO TEAMS, NO KILLBOXES, NO QUAKE SOUNDS, ONLY FUN!
There are a few rules you need to know.
First off, kicks and bans are always preceeded with a few warnings.
If you don't see them, I'll assume your just ignoring me.
So read the rules and the chat!
These are kickable offenses:
Rule 1: Offensive names will NOT be tolerated. You KNOW what's offensive, so change your name when you join.
Rule 2: Some swearing and insults are tolerated if they are all in good fun. Don't cross the line.
Other:
Rule 3: Unlike some servers, you don't have to speak English. HOWEVER, if you can speak English, I would prefer it if you did.
Rule 4: Always assume I'm watching.
Rule 5: Have fun! :D
The current map rotation is:
dm_lockdown
dm_underpass
dm_scepter
dm_resistance
dm_lockdown
dm_montana
dm_steamlab
dm_overwatch
The map will change every 30 minutes, or when someone get's 60 kill's
The AWESOME custom maps have been bzip'ed and are on a seperate server for super fast downloads, so just play them fool!
In case you were wondering...Custom Sprays and flashlight are disabled. Footsteps are on. The server is in the New York area.
Server website is at http://happyhills.clanservers.com/
NO BOTS, NO TEAMS, NO KILLBOXES, NO QUAKE SOUNDS, ONLY FUN!
