How is this done in UO?

I haven't admin'ed cod:uo but in cod2 to cod:waw its done via Punkbuster. You can do a search on how to setup PB messages - its pretty straight forward. Assuming CoD:UO used PB. :)

well I did it that method and the only way I got it to work was by having 2 pbsvuser configs... and I think this caused confusion with PB...

"PB_SV_Task [X] [Y] [command]
Adds a task to PB's Task List; The Task will be executed X seconds after entry and every Y seconds thereafter; use -1 for Y if a one-time task is desired; this can be used to execute game server commands as well as PB commands"

did you ever get it working tommydole?


it'd be like;

pb_sv_task 12 20 say "welcome to our server"

which would output the following

Console: welcome to our server

12 seconds after the map starts (server time not gametype timer) and every 20 seconds thereafter


also you can download this site's admin's server-sided mod (RudeDog's Message Center) to accomplish the same thing without PB
