Console Greet Message

RichoDemus

<div class="IPBDescription">Adminmod...</div> I want one of those long welcome messages in the console when someone joins, I downloaded a plugin that were meant to do it, but nothing happened

can someone post a link or name to such a plugin that you know works with ns

and can someone explain the difference between .sma and .amx files?, which should I list in my plugin.ini



I know all this should go in the adminmod forum @ adminmod.org

but I thought that I might aswell get answers here

Go <a href='http://www.adminmod.org/ascript/plugin.php' target='_blank'>here</a>. There are two or three to choose from. I use Sank's plugin.

sma files need to be extracted, adminmod has a file named "compile_all.bat located @ adminmod>>scripting>>myscripts>>compile_all.bat place the sma file in this folder and open compile_all.bat then go back one folder and open mybinaries folder or was it myscripts? one of the two folders will have your new amx file location: adminmod>>scripting>>myscripts to retrieve the amx file place it in /addons/adminmod/scripts/ in plugins.ini file you should put in a path similar to the ones already there. ie /addons/adminmod/scripts/plugins_consgreet.amx ect. their are more details to getting that plugin working but i believe it comes with a readme i suggest you read it. Good Luck

FYI: If you're using FTP to transfer .sma files, you need to do so via ASCII mode.

I have a consgreet that I edited to be VERY simple. There are ones out there that scroll way off the screen with a bunch of useless information. This displays the map, and how many players are on each team...that's IT...plus the usual consgreet.txt for custom messages.

1. Compile the .sma.
2. Place the .amx in the correct folder.
3. Add it to the plugin.ini file.
4. Create a text file named consgreet.txt in the ns folder. (This is your custom text.)
