Simple but handy MOTD script

[stevend]

Installation:
Throw is in your customs folder, Then make a file in your /data/ dir called motd.html and put your message of the day in that file.

They can use [motd to bring up the MOTD now. If you would like for it to pop up on login goto the script in /scripts/misc/ and open loginstats.

Making it open motd on login:
If you would like for it to pop up on login goto the script in /scripts/misc/ and open loginstats. find this:

m.SendMessage( "There {1} currently {2} user{3} online,  and {6} NPC{7}.",
args.Mobile.Name,
userCount == 1 ? "is" : "are",
userCount, userCount == 1 ? "" : "s",
itemCount, itemCount == 1 ? "" : "s",
mobileCount, mobileCount == 1 ? "" : "s" );

... And right below it add this:

m.SendGump ( new motdg() );

at the verry top of the script add this:

using Server.Gumps;

What does "MOTD" stands for? I am not sure what this script does.

Message of the day.
Didn't test it, but I know from another motd script, that it crashed on button response Razor macros. Can you confirm, that this one won't crash in that case?

I try to add this script and edit the loginstats.cs as you directed, and i get an error:

The type or namespace name "motdg" could not be found

I can not have the motd pop up upon login until this problem is fixed or directions are given on how to fix it.

Looks like im not the only one with this problem.

Thx.

man theres alot of these motd scripts but this ones pretty good i like that other one with archives though but this is definitaly better then the one with months of the year

[stevend]

sorry guys, forgot the using statement, i added it now, itll work fine.

Now the MOTD works, but when it comes up it says MOTD.html not found or something along those lines..

I put a text file in my Data Dir, called motd.html , and wrote my motd in that file, and its not working.

How do i create a filetype .html? Do you mean, type the motd using html tags?

Thx again.

if you do not have hide extensions off then set it off makes everything on windows easier...its in folder options...or just save as in notepad and changes extension to * and add .html to the end...

[stevend]

just save as then change the save as file type att al files and save as motd.html
