Title: message of the day custom arena
Post by: flatiron1 on August 02, 2011, 06:55:45 AM

Trying to set up arena MOTD with no luck. I generated a message in my AH MOTD folder. Tried to upload thru CM tools several ways.  

Is this the correct way with no space between.txt              .txtguadacanal


or with space      .txt guadacanal

or just guadacanal without .txt


also how do I set it where the MOTD automatically comes up when logging in?


thanks

Just save it as a .txt file from Notepad

The file name is motd

It will save as motd.txt

Options > Arena Setup > CM Tools > MOTD

Actually, you can name it whatever you want: anyname.txt or mycustom.txt, etc.  If you want to keep it from having a horizontal scrollbar, keep the width to 55 characters or less.

Then just go to the MOTD in your custom arena and upload anyname or mycustom (without the .txt extension) and it should upload just fine.

There's a MOTD folder now if you haven't noticed. The txt files need to be in this folder this is new with the new update.
