In Game Auto Messages

[amouda56]

Is there a way to have messages appear during in-game play?

For example, every x minutes I want a message to come up from a list of messages. Like:

a) welcome to the server
b) visit us online at ....
c) whatever else

etc.

Are there vars available to use? or a 3rd party program?
I can't seem to find anything yet...

Yes there is.
You also get a great mod as well

Add this to your cod-server/pb/pbsv.cfg


//************************************************** *************************************
// PB TASKS - pb_sv_task
//************************************************** *************************************

// Empties list so tasks dont pile up, resets list.

pb_sv_taskempty

// Task setup for PunkBuster


pb_sv_task 20 300 "say ^7Welcome To: ^1[^7|^156^7|^1] ^7Canadian Legion ^7Call of Duty: UO"
pb_sv_task 30 330 "say ^1-=^3Resistance is Futile^1=-"
pb_sv_task 40 360 "say ^3Visit us online at ^7www.56thCanadian.com"
pb_sv_task 50 390 "say ^3Punkbuster Admin MD5^1-^3Tool Cheat Detector Loaded & Running!"
pb_sv_task 60 420 "say ^3Email Server Admin: ^7amouda@56thcanadian.com"


Then do this in-game console

\rcon pb_sv_restart

Never mind, I did it for you.

i know this is a old theread but how may on these lines can you puy in

thanks
kronos

[Clanwarz]

As many as you like. but you have to make sure the numbers do increase. This way they actually scroll through. The amount of time is basically up to you. But spamming players is not what we really want to do, just drop them a message everyother minute seems to be ok.

[kronos]

thanks alot i will get this set up tonight

You can also download the message center.

Get it HERE (http://67.18.70.14/Brian/RudeDog_BoS_MessageCenter.zip)

[kronos]

do you think the message center is a better way to go than the code entry?

[Clanwarz]

I have never tried his message center so i can't say one way or the other.

[BoSBrian]

Test them both. It only takes seconds to test.

[kronos]

OK I USED THE PROGRAM VERSION (THANKS PROGRAMER) BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND THE PB CONFIG FILE ON MY SERVER TO TRY THAT WAY

QUESTION CAN I LENGTHEN THE TIME BETWEEN THE LAST MESSAGE AND THE FIRST MESSAGE

THANKS

[BoSBrian]

The messages are evenly spaced.

Interval between messages set with this cvar

seta sv_rddelay "30"

[kronos]

RIGHT I UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS JUST WANTING TO SEND OUT THE MESSAGES IN LIKE 10 SEC INTERVIALS THEN WATE LIKE 5 MIN ANS SEND THEM AGAIN
IS THAT POSSABLE

THANKS

[BoSBrian]

No, I don't think so. RudeDog would have the absolute answer, but I believe that part is hard coded in

[kronos]

OK THANKS A MILLION

[rudedog]

Sorry for the delay in seeing this thread

all message mods including my message center mod can not adjust the amount of time the message is displayed. It can adjust the amount of time between messages.

Hope this helps

[Distillers]

can you do messages using console without typing them everytime?

[rudedog]

You can change the messages via the console and they will "stick" until your exec your cfg file or restart the server.

Just type:
rcon seta sv_linerdX "your message"

X= message number you wish to change

your message = your new message

If you just want to display a simple message then type

rcon say your message

[kronos]

THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM I LOVE THE PROGRAM JUST AS IT IS ACCEPT I WOULD LIKE TO SET UP 8 MESSAGES 10 SEC APART AND THEN WATE LIKE 5 MIN TO START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN

THANKS
KRONOS

[rudedog]

ah, sorry I missunderstood you.

Ok this is easy.

Open my pk3 file with packscape or winrar. Your looking for _rudedog_message.gsc

Which is located in this dir.
\maps\MP\gametypes

double click _rudedog_message.gsc

Find line 76 3rd from the bottom
wait rd_delay; // delay in seconds
}
}

Change it to this

wait 300; // delay in seconds 300 = 5 minutes
}
}

Save file and you should be all set you will not have a 5 minute delay before starting the messages all over again.

If you have any problems let me know what version your using.

Ok here is a good one. I put my messages is using the pb_sv_task like the following

pb_sv_task 30 240 "say.....
pb_sv_task 60 240 "say......
pb_sv_task 90 240 "say......
pb_sv_task 120 240 "say ......
pb_sv_task 150 240 "say.....

At first the all come up like planned every 30 seconds and then a 1.5 minute break. But soon they all start showing up at the same time. Any ideas?
