Hi,

I'm part of the admin team of a UK server and I was wondering/trying to find out what options there are to show the server rules to players before people enter the server, just like the old motd/consgreet did.

Any help/suggestions/solutions are welcome!

    There are basically four options:<ul><li>Use the old consgreets - they only show up in the console, which isn't displayed automatically.</li><li>Use an amx-style MOTD (flickering green text - limited in length and disappears after a while).</li><li>Use the Display Rules plugin (can be found at modns.org) to display the rules as chat text (limits you to 4-5 lines).</li><li>Wait until Flayra fixes the MOTD code. There is a way to display a CS-style VGUI window with the rules, but it currently screws up all other VGUI windows, including popup menus and commander mode.</li></ul>

    Its been awhile and was just wondering if there is an update on option 4 status.
    Now that steam have added Natural Selection to 3rd party install, more and more new players are joining our server, Having a window that pops up when they join like the CS MOTD (html) for server rules would be very handy Indeed.

    Can anyone point me in the right directions to get this to work as default server or with amx_mod ?
