well if you're taking the html code and putting that right in the motd.txt file that might be why..

let me know if thats what you're doing and i'll tell you the better way

yeh... I just checked, I put it in the motd.txt

ok the most simple way for me to attempt and explain this is as follows: lol..

open:
http://southparktunes.com/dod/new_motd_logo1.jpg
and Right Click > Save Image As.. and save that to your PC.. then take that file and upload it to your webhost..

for the sake of an example.. lets say you put it in:
http://fullcontactgamers.jcbgaming.com/motd/

open:
http://southparktunes.com/dod/new_motd.htm
in your browser.. then goto FILE > SAVE PAGE AS and save it to your PC.. then using notepad open the .htm file. In notepad, make any changes to the code that you want.. like rules etc etc...

also find this line:

Code:

http://southparktunes.com/dod/new_motd_logo1.jpg

and change it to match the address where you uploaded the logo jpg file..

*following example*
http://fullcontactgamers.jcbgaming.c...motd_logo1.jpg

....then save the file (keeping it as the .htm file) and upload that to the webhost (same folder that you put the logo file in)

now you should be all set with the webhost...

next take the "motd.txt" file thats located on the gameserver and put this:

HTML Code:

<html><frameset cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="no" border="0">
<frame src="http://southparktunes.com/dod/motdAd.htm" name="frame_main" />
</frameset>
</html>

just change the:
http://southparktunes.com/dod/motdAd.htm
line to where ever you uploaded your motd.htm file
....following the example, that would be:
http://fullcontactgamers.jcbgaming.c...d/new_motd.htm

then save that file and upload it to your gameserver

all should be working after that..

*also* feel free to rename the logo jpg or the motd.htm file to whatever you want, just as long as you also change any links that go with them.. tho leaving them as is wont really do any harm...

hope thats easy to understand

yeh man... i messed with it and it finally works. Thnx!

diamond-optic · #16 (**permalink**) September 16th, 2006

some of the style stuff might not work.. like hovering style for links... not sure if the hl motd window can handle that..

I know this is an old thread but i need a little help from D-O

My website was recently hacked and i lost all the folders including my psychostats, i backed up the folder but the 1 file i needed was corrupt, It's the motd_top10.php, this is the file that links in and shows in the server MOTD, the psychostats top10 players on the server.

You wouldn't be kind enough to let me have this code again D-O.

Cheers

umm here's mine

idk if its the right one tho, it doesnt read the db directly each time the file is called. I have another file that gets the db entries (set up via a cron to run after each stats update) and it saves the top 10 players to another file.. Then this file just reads the entries that are saved in that other file
