Title: Info text to map
Post by: kanttori on July 27, 2002, 06:31:20 AM

Hello!

How can I put the info text with my terrain? I mean that gray box, what you can sometimes read when you download a new res-file in H2H-arena!

That gray box is the MOTD ( message of the day ) and is setup by the host.

It is found in your C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High folder

Here's BenDover explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

oh yeah, make sure you save it in your main directorly (eg. "C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High")

NOTE: Hosts do not see the motd

We have to remember we live in a world where we need instructions on how to put batteries in a remote;)

By the way! have you seen the "Show MOTD" in the setup.  Doesn't work in H2H or Offline?  
Does it work Online?
