How to put messages up in game and knowing what time the server is set too?

[aphex187 52]

Sorry for the n00by questions here guys!!!

Basically we just have the MOTD when in the lobby but i've been mooching about on other peoples servers and can see that some have different messages popping up telling people when the server will restart etc. Is this by a seperate RConn tool or just the servers control panel?

Also wanting to put what time the server is at in the title, atm in game it's just after 9 in the morning, in the control panel settings it's set to -6 UTC but i'm wanting to know what it would be in GMT? Sorry getting a bit confused with UTC haha!! >.<

Gmt and utc are essentially the same thing, we don't use gmt anymore, the difference is a fraction of a second.

Hi,

The rotating messages are handled with BEC, within the schedule section of it: http://www.ibattle.org/

You can also use this scheduler to restart your server at set intervals.

It can be a pit painful to work your way through the settings at first but it does work, just read and follow the instructions very closely.

You will need to run this on a dedicated server or similar.

UTC and GMT are the same time-zone.

UK and Ireland are currently in GMT+1

Hope that helps a bit,.
