Creating a greeting msg for H2H arenas
« on: December 29, 2001, 02:35:00 PM »
I would like to use the pop up (gray box) when I build a H2H arena. Can someone walk me through how to do this. Someone mentioned to me about using wordpad to write the msg. And save it as MOTD, but I don’t know how to get it to work or what to do with it from there. It would be a great help if I could have a step by step instruction. If you can do this thanks in advance.

I haven't set one up yet, but I will check into it and should get back to you a little later.

That's if no one has answered you in the meantime.

first off, check you have a file called 'motd.h2h'. If you have this file, go on to 1, if you don't have it,go on to B1.

1.edit the file in notepad, add your text and stuff here
2.save it
3. go host a h2h room

B1. open notepad
B2. write what you want
B3. go to 'file'-'save as'
B4. save as type as all files
B5. name as motd.h2h, and click save
B6. go host a h2h room
