Rented server in game messages

[Markyd 12]

Don’t know if any of u have got it to work yet but @aux7 Has kindly raised a ticket for the problem as he helped me and a few others with trying to get it working and even spent time writing a script for us to use with no success so a massive thank u for all the help u have given us 😉 just sharing the info with what’s going on so far 

[HowsMyShot 20]

mine doesn;t work either

I assume we're having the same issue.

Whenever I set the Server Messages under the "Config Files" > "messages.xml" it just reverts to the default example messages and displays nothing to the players.

I've contacted Nitrado with no luck, got a very generic blanket response in regards to server pre-orders which wasn't even brought up by myself.
Either way I've continued with the ticket and awaiting further response.

Picture of the issue attached:

ok, how. Whats the secret?

[Markyd 12]

Yeh wots the secret 

[HowsMyShot 20]

Nitrado first have to fix their issue which when you save message.xml it revert  back to previous one 

I spoke to their manager and told what's the issue and fix they said will work on it

[Markyd 12]

That’s dont say how u got it working lol I’ve not had reply’s back from them yet and I’ve given up trying to get it working as it just resets itself all the time 

[HowsMyShot 20]

Funny that I DM Impulz the fix for it, No reply, I wonder if that guy every reply but a acknowledgement will be appreciated

and just noticed now an hour ago they posted in Twitter that fix, but I hope they understand the issue about Nitrado not saving message, Hope that fix happens as well

remember to remove the line 3 <!-- and at end line 45 i think sane <!--

if after shutdown server and save message.xml still revert back to old one then Nitrado have not fix their write permission issue

In sure a shutdown then save message.xml then start server is required 

When you do that did old message.xml come out

that not gonna work

[HowsMyShot 20]

<!-- syntax will deactivate it

but again if nitrado did not fix write permission to message.xml from web interface even after server shut down then pointless

[Buzzed 0]

This definitely works. The trick is stopping the server, then editing the messages.xml, save it and then start the server. Just make sure to use the right syntax. I got mine working this afternoon and have made several changes to it with it all staying after the save.

Here's mine...

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<messages>
    
<message>
        <deadline>600</deadline>
        <shutdown>1</shutdown>
        <text>This server (#name) will shutdown in #tmin minutes.</text>
    </message>

    <message>
        <repeat>15</repeat>
        <text>You're playing on server (#name). Message Buzzed for any issues. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!</text>
    </message>
 
        
    <message>
        <delay>10</delay>
        <repeat>50</repeat>
        <onconnect>1</onconnect>
        <text>We're currently set to Private. Get geared up and be ready to face new people joining soon.</text>
    </message>
    
    <message>
        <delay>2</delay>
        <onconnect>1</onconnect>
        <text>Welcome to server #name</text>
    </message>

    
</messages>
