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!

You probably don't have 5 lines in your message.txt file...

 

Ah, yes.

Just edit the message.txt file...

As far as the names for the logo's go... I have no idea what those are. You'll either have to google it or try random stuff xD

Occassionally when players enter it shown welcome message to everyone, so have reported it showing on every player entering. Can you check it only shows to player connecting.

 

Are you also able to make it so the icon could be an image file

Cheaters...

Thank you.

EDIT: That code is not compilable. ILSpy doesn't decompile the code correctly. .NET Reflector works like a charm though.

For some reason I cannot compile the source. Could anyone help me with that?

EDIT: nvm, I used .NET Reflector and figured it out myself.

Does this bug still exist or was it fixed?

Yes, i'm going to fix this in a few days!

Should be fixed now and source code was added !

Hmm HUD Icons seem to hate me, when I use the icon you used it works fine..

but when I want to use for example this one: specialty_longsprint_upgrade

its screws up and shows some strange blocky image :S

what am I doing wrong here?
