Game_Master Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Is there any way to broadcast a server message every 5 minutes or so in JKII much like there was a way to do this in Half-Life CS? If anyone has any ideas as to how I might do this, please let me know. Much thanks, -GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 You would need a script to do this...perl would work well. I know of such a script for RtCW. When I get some time, I'll see if it can be adapted to work with JO. I don't see any reason why not as the console is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_Master Posted April 2, 2002 Author Share Posted April 2, 2002 Could you by any chance link me to this script? I'd be more than happy to fool around with it myself to see if I can get it working. Thanks, -SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TL] Dr. Who Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 i belive if you create an autoexec.cfg in your Main / Base / baseq3 folder then add a line: Say Welcome to blah, blah or echo Blah blah Welcome to it will run it every time the map is run you may want to throw in a Wait 5000; Say "Welcome to blah, blah" or Wait 5000; echo "Welcome to blah, blah" oh yeh the wait 5000 is 5000 frames.. you can calculate the time you want yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 I was trying to meet his request for an "every 5 minutes" type of notice. WAB does that, but I think that for now WAB is a bit overkill. There used to be a link on Quark's site to the "other app" from which he got some inspiration, but it's gone now. I'll have to dig through my stuff and see if I can find it. With the map change idea, it's also possible to add a wait/say command to the rotation or to call an exec file to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_Master Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 What is WAB, exactly? We've figured out a way to make it print messages in the console area of the screen, but that means very little on a 32 person server, as death messages cloud the console. We'd need to broadcast a message which appears in the center of the screen in order to get any kind of information across. I appreciate the help... -GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_Master Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 Anyone have any other ideas on this? I really need to get this working... -GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 At this moment, I'm not aware of any way to send a message to all clients that will appear in the center of the screen as such...only a message from console that is going to, as you said, typically get lost amid everything else going on. If I run across any way to accomplish that, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_Master Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 I appreciate it. We're currently running a 32 person server with a pretty nice ping, but it's difficult to do this without getting any messages across to clients. I've got a guy likewise working on it too, but he's a busy man and can't spare much time. -GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
