Title: Squad message of the day
Post by: SPKmes on April 19, 2010, 04:00:27 PM
Is there a way of this being an automatic opening when squad members first login in....or is it something that needs to be opened manually?

Not sure why it works some places, not in others.
For our squad I'd say about 2/3 of the time it works in the SEA.

May be due to a setting on HTC's part, or something about the way its coded.

And don't forget the dot command .showsquadmotd which should bring up your squads arena message.
I never get the squad message during FSOs. Now in mains I'm in The Specialists whereas in FSO I'm with USMC/71, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

my squad motd pops up autmatically in every arena..

i use the upload file method though, maybe the manual entry method doesnt work the same..

IIRC, there are two options to upload. [1] Through O'Club you can type a very short Squad Message and upload that. [2] From the O'Club, you can upload a larger Squad or Arena Message by uploading a text file. This is the method I use for FriKOTH when I upload my Arena Message. And [3]?  there may be a dot command for uploading a squad message. Confirmed using the .help command. There is a dot command .setsquadmotd LocalFileName which I'm assuming is similar to option [2] covered above. So as I said first, there are three options to upload a squad or arena message  :aok

And after further cogitation, there is actually a fourth method. And I actually use this method for the FriKOTH Arena Message and not [2] as I had stated above. Going into Options and Arena Setup you can upload an Arena Message through CM tools.

So as I stated there are two... er three... er four methods for uploading a Squad or Arena Message.

nevers appears in any arenas for me, ive set them up in the past and noone has seen them, others have too. ive tried the short message and the file - neither pop up, but they do show in O'Club.

the CM set ones do pop up though when ive done events/snapshots in the past.

could be a very useful feature if it worked, not all squaddies check the forums often so announcing squad duels/new squaddies/event stuff etc would be very helpful.
