Squad MOTD doesnt display when logging in.
and is therefore useless. pls fix :)
-
.showsquadmotd :aok
-
thats not how it should work, MOTDs display automatically when you log in.
-
Which arena? Who's the CO? What day?
-
1. Ive only tested it in LWO, LWB and DA.
2. Squad CO is batfinkv, although I have full rights in this squad (invites etc.) and can succesfully upload the MOTD or type it in. it does display when you go to the Tower -> O'Club -> Squads etc. to view it.
3. AFAIK Squad MOTDs have never popped up on login in the same way as HTC Staff's MOTDs in the MAs or the CM's MOTDs in the SEAs.
ty for noticing this, it would be a really useful fix so we can keep squaddies updated with SDL match dates, Squad nights, new squaddie announcements etc. (not all my squaddies have time to check the forums daily.)

I'm a walk-on with USMC/71 for FSO in SEA1. I can't think of a time the squad motd did pop up on entry and I've been attending FSO more than a year.
Now the host CM always has a event related MOTD up but I assume the squad one would display when the other one was closed.
-
When I have uploaded a Squad MOTD it has been from a .txt file in my AH folder. This has not worked.
BUT
When I have been flying FSO, the quick type message a CO can type in game without the .txt file has popped up.

the .txt file has to be named the same as the squad CO (for me thats batfinkv.txt), works ok for me. you get a message in the buffer when the upload works.

Yes, but it still doesn't pop up.
-
gotcha
-
did this get fixed yet?
-
Thanks for bringing this up..when I first started about 5 years ago,it DID auto pop up in the squad I was in..We really need this to work again..it is a great squad communication tool.
-
my squad motd pops up automagically everytime.
it even pops up in another window if theres already an arena motd.
i am official co of our squad, and the only one who uploads motd (kvuo75.txt)
only difference i notice is you are not the co.. maybe that has something to do with it, even though it shouldn't.
-
kvuo..take us through step by step how you do a new motd exactly,please..thanks
-
edit the text file in notepad, save it in the AH folder as "kvuo75.txt"
go into arena, into o club, squads, click on upload squad motd button.
thats it!
-
so it looks like you can upload the MOTD and people can see it via O'Club if you have the rights, but it will only automatically pop up if the squad CO uploads it.
still a bug I'd say.

OK,I have a FALCON23 and a SMOTD got both to say the same thing..went to upload,waited,,waited.......nothing.but when I hit view it was there..what am I doing wrong? :headscratch:
-
... and you are the CO so it should pop up :headscratch:
Kvuo do they pop up in the MAs? or just DA/SEA?

ALL of em.. ew and mw too..
one thing I have not checked in awhile though, used to be you had to upload it multiple times. once for orange, once for blue, for each special events, etc.
seems its working fine in all of the mains with only 1 upload recently tho.
one more thing, perhaps. i just checked .help in game and there are some dot commands
.showsquadmotd filename
.setsquadmotd filename
and .showmotd filename
i'm not sure if i ever did any of those or not.. might be something...
also theres .sqdupload which I never saw before.

it should just say HOST: retrieving file falcon23.txt
thats it.. if u log out and back in it should pop up as far as I know.
