So when I go to exec the file in the command console. I get an error saying the motd.cs file is missing from BasilMod/motd/motd.cs

You have placed mod files into wrong directory, or misspelled the name of folders. Make sure you place files into server, which you will start.

Server side installation documentation describes 4 steps:

Spoiler

1. Place these 2 files (config.cs and motd.cs.dso) in "BasilMod/motd" folder of server root.
2. Alter configuration. Configure messages and intervals.
3. Add this line to the end of your "main.cs" server script, or execute it in server console to load mod without server restart
   exec("BasilMod/motd/motd.cs");
4. Play LiF.

Your help file is sort of misleading. You will need to change it so people don't make the same mistake as this guy did, (just as I did as well).

The help file currently says:

"1) Place these 2 files (config.cs and motd.cs.dso) in "BasilMod/motd" folder of server root."

You should change it to say:

"1) Place these 2 files (config.cs and motd.cs.dso) from the "BasilMod/motd" folder, and place them into your server root folder."

This will save people a lot of time trying to interpret what that sentence is trying to convey. It's not easy to understand.

Your sentence is incorrect.

You should create folder "Life is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\BasilMod\MotD\" and place files there.

Full path of the file should be:
Life is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\BasilMod\MotD\motd.cs.dso

Weird, that's what I thought you meant at first, but they dont work like that because the server spits out the "can't find motd.cs" and the only way to correct this is to place the two files directly into the server root folder as described in my message. Wont work any other way unless your pack purports some other protocol that redirects them. I only installed the standalone, not the whole pack.


EDIT: unless the redirect is case sensitive, which is why motd doen't work, but MotD does.

[Custodian]

dont work like that because the server spits out the "can't find motd.cs"

make sure you add

Code: Select all

exec("BasilMod/motd/motd.cs");

to your main.cs.

EDIT: unless the redirect is case sensitive, which is why motd doen't work, but MotD does.

This depends on your hostring provider. Default(steam release) server running on windows is case insensitive.

Then there we go. Your provided help file has them listed in lower case. You'll need to correct that. Thanks for the clarification!

[Custodian]

I doubt. As I said, case does not matter.
If your hosting provider changes default server behaviour, you should be aware of that. All mods are designed to work with official steam release of the server.

Custodian, It is possible to make a message in global chat? Very useful...

Custodian, It is possible to make a message in global chat? Very useful...

With server-side only mod it is not possible (I dont know a way to do it).

[Cogollops]

Please reupload file motd.cs.dso or motd.cs

Can't load file!

[Custodian]

Please reupload file motd.cs.dso or motd.cs

Follow link from the installation instruction at first post. Mod files available via dropbox.

Timed messages is ok, but if I want, for example, give an automated warning to players about night is coming, and in 24h is not fit exactly whole number of ingame days - timed messages will not be useful because night will come in different time from server restarts (if server restarts randomly or in fixed real time).
So, is it possible to add another type of MotD, bound to ingame time?

[Custodian]

Timetable for scheduled messaged based on ingame time will be added in next version of the mod.

Мое почтение! Подскажите пожалуйста, что надо сделать, что бы в чате отображалась Кириллица?!

My regards! Please tell me what to do, to be displayed in the chat Cyrillic ?!
P.S. Sorry for my English

[Custodian]

My regards! Please tell me what to do, to be displayed in the chat Cyrillic ?!

Save your config.cs file in utf-8 encoding.

Spoiler

Сохраните файл конфигурации мода в кодировке utf-8. Это можно сделать при помощи программ notepad++ или alkepad.

[Seregaman]

Thank you very-very much!!!

Spoiler

Спасибо вам огромное!!!

[Seregaman]

My regards! Is it possisible to edit settings for global chat?

Spoiler

Еще раз мое почтение! Есть ли возможность прописать настройки для глобального чата?

[Custodian]

My regards! Is it possisible to edit settings for global chat?

Please, be more specific what do you mean?

Spoiler

Какие именно настройки вы хотите изменить?

[Seregaman]

Make the same settings in both system and local chat.

Spoiler

Сделать такие же настройки как в системном и локальном чате.

[Custodian]

Make the same settings in both system and local chat.

I dont understand what do you want. If you would like to display message at global chat, this is not possible with this server-side only mod.

Spoiler

Я не понимаю о каких настройках вы говорите. Если вы хотите показать сообщение в глобальном чате, то это невозможно сделать в моде который устанавливается только на сервер.

it keeps returning "file dosen't exist"

il make sure my command is pointing to the correct dir, but im sure i havent made a mistake

[Custodian]

it keeps returning "file dosen't exist"

Verify, that you have installed mod to your server, and you entering command at server console. This is not ctrl+~ console at LiF:Yo game client.

Hmmm dont have access to that panel, had to remove the mod and re-add it, there may have been an issue with the initial upload, its working now, thank you

[Ozzie88]

Hi There mate,

Im trying to add the mod but striking a few problems. (im noob)

I have installed it correctly (have done a few times) but i dont see the messages come up. i have read what other people have had problems with and tried resolving but not been able to do so.

I think it could be that im not too sure where to put it in the main.cs file?

could you provide a screen shot of where to put it the exec code and also a screen shot of the config.cs too?

Thanks greatly and keep up the great work!

[Custodian]

I think it could be that im not too sure where to put it in the main.cs file?

At the end of main.cs file, after all default content.

Spoiler

Code: Select all

.... begin of the file is omitted ....
else
{
   exec("scripts/root.cs");
}

exec("basilmod/motd/motd.cs");


and also a screen shot of the config.cs too?

Example config.cs file is available for download with the mod, follow the download link at head post.

[Ozzie88]

Great Got it working Now

Next problem > My server rules are not showing in any chat. I set it to show in system chat. what could cause this issue?

[Custodian]

My server rules are not showing in any chat. I set it to show in system chat. what could cause this issue?

Your configuration is wrong, or config.cs contain syntax errors after your edits.
You may want to use example config.cs and check how it works.

Please read mods description carefully.

Why you had added all other mods exec lines to the begin of the main.cs file?
Each mod cleary says, that you must add mod loading exec lines to the end of main.cs.

Check mod directory name, and make sure that command you are entering in the console is the same as in the main.cs file.
If you think everything is correct, search latest server log for "motd" and check for loading errors around, or share your server latest log with me.
