Server timed messages?

[RHS-Jeff 0]

I was playing on a server the other day and noticed that it had some sort of timed message that displayed every once in a while, something like Join our teamspeak @ xxxxx or goto our website @ xxxx

Anyone know how to do this?

I saw that, and set the MOTD do display what I want, but I need something to either repeat the MOTD, or run a custom command/server message every X amount of time.

I looked through it again to double check I didn't miss something, but can't seem to find it.

Anyone?

Yeah you cant loop the MOTD. I don't think it would be that practical though, as you probably only want to repeat one or two lines, not the entire series of messages including the "Welcome to my server" bit.

You should instead using BattlEye RCON and the "Say" command. You can create a batch script that logins via BE, and says something like "Say -1 Please remember to donate to keep this server running" and then put in a pause of 60 seconds in the next line, and then repeat it, etc.

Example please - I'd like to add that to my the server monitor tool I've been working on to broadcast when the server is going to restart itself.

C'mon man. Use Google. Take you less than 30 seconds to find what you're after.

It wasn't rcon I was asking about, I meant the batch script to loop said messages, I currently use autoit to do the same as you suggested but wondered how your method differs...

I tried to input the messages as a batch file so I could run it through RCON, but I can't get it to work properly. The say command doesn't execute until after I quit the RCOn exe manually. Help? I'm a newb, but I couldn't google a solution.
