First of all, I'm new to C#, so this mod might not be perfect!

The way it works is very simple. It reads a text file and displays it's content as welcome message on your server.

   }

Extract the downloaded files to the scripts folder and edit your welcome message in the message.txt

 

-UPDATE-

Supports now up to 3 lines of text, 1 icon and a hud text.

If you don't want for example the icon (or line1, 2 or 3), don't completly remove the line from the message.txt, but simply leave the line blank (or your unwanted line of text)!

To sum it up: Your message.txt contains out of 6 lines (no matter if blank or not):

Line 1: Text of line 1

Line 2: Text of line 2

Line 3: Text of line 3

Line 4: Iconname

Line 5: Hud text on the top

Line 6: Security line (always blank; otherwise server will crash)

 

Please report any bugs!
