AutoServer "/adminmsg" question

[fasteddie399]

Does anyone know how to (if possible) configure a multi-line AdminMsg in the macros.ini file?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, that is not possible (at least yet). How long messages would you need?

Actually, maybe it's not the 'adminmsg' I'm interested in. I've noticed that on Punatiainen's Punaball autoserver, as soon as a player connects (during the Registration phase), a multi-line message is displayed (in white text), and each line is preceded with "<Server admin>". How can I do that?

Thanks!

I guess it is using MikeNike's server admin tool (or some other similar program) which allows one to do that kind of things. MikeNike or someone else may be able to tell more.

I guess you mean the punaleague.tk autoserver.
I am not sure, but i think, that the serveradmin messages are just these, which you can add in macros.ini under the macro Reg.

So what you can do is:

Search the line "Begin Reg" in macros.ini in the sliders folder.
Then write lines like
/say Welcome to this Server...
/say email to fasteddie@... for support...

The macro closes with an "End".
Good luck!
For more questions, just email me or reply this post.

Hey Mike -

I've tried exactly that, and no luck...

I'm wondering what other "Begin xxx" macro segments there are, besides the obvious default ones in the macros.ini... For example, could there be one for when a player connects like "Begin PlayerConnect ..... End"?

It appears to me that the Begin Reg macro only runs at the beginning of the Registration phase, and only those players connected at that moment will see it. The big difference I've noticed with the punaleague.tk server is that the multi-line message is displayed each time a player connects, not just at the beginning of registration.

???

Thanks for your help though, and you too Ande!

macros.ini has all those default macros so there aren't any for someone registering yet and Reg works as you described. I am not sure who has done the script (if not MikeNike) but they can be implemented by an extrenal script/program which reads log.txt and then puts commands in autoserver.cmd. I believe that's how it has been implemented in those servers.

Interesting...

Perhaps I'll go straight to the source... I'll ask Punatiainen.
