marsmars 155 Posted January 5, 2014 Not sure if a bug, or suggestion, or whatever, but anyway when I log in to a server an MOTD shows up, and it sometimes has useful information such as teamspeak info or organized events going on in the server The problem is that the MOTD disappears too fast, sometimes before I get to read it all ? can this be changed somehow to stay longer so?

creature 1189 Posted January 5, 2014 Haven't tried yet but if you open the direct chat window then hit the page up key, it should show again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marsmars 155 Posted January 5, 2014 STUPID QUESTION ALERT!.....whats MOTD?? Do ya mean a custom loadscreen for that server?"Message of the day" Its the message you see when you first log in to the server, appears on the loading screen and on the chat briefly when you enter the server. for example "this server restarts every 4 hours" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karmaterror 982 Posted January 5, 2014 Ahh I see thanks guys :) Id guess its an engine setting for how long text stays for, does it stay for about the same time as a direct chat, or status message? If its that, this could be one for the bug tracker. Or if someone can figure out custom loadscreens might be a better way to get the info across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted January 5, 2014 Does not work Well, other than checking to see if theres a key bind to scroll the chat in the options that hasn't been set for the game, I'm out of ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kichilron 8550 Posted January 6, 2014 You realise you can change the time between the MOTD's forcing it to come up later, so it's not trying to show while you're loading? That appears to be the most common problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
