ET:QW - Repeating messages
Posted by Steven H on 03 October 2007 01:04 PM
There are two ways on how to create repeating messages in Enemy Territory: Quakewars, the first is using the built in banner messages and the second is using PunkBuster tasks.

Built in Banner Messages
To use the built in banner messages configure the following variables in your server.cfg:

seta g_banner_loopdelay "300" // delay before banner messages repeat in seconds
seta g_banner_delay "1" // delay between banner messages in seconds
seta g_banner_1 "^7Welcome to a ^1Multiplay ^7ET:QW server"
seta g_banner_2 "^4www.multiplay.co.uk ^7for all your gaming needs"
seta g_banner_3 "^7IRC: ^4#mpukhosting ^7on QuakeNet"
seta g_banner_4 "^2Forums: ^4http://forums.multiplay.co.uk"


Using PunkBuster Tasks
The second way is to use PunkBuster tasks this allows more flexibility with respect to timing of the banner messages.

To use this create a pbsvuser.cfg in your Profile -> Config if you dont already have one and then add entries like:

PB_SV_Task 30 300 say "^7Welcome to a ^1Multiplay ^7ET:QW server"
PB_SV_Task 31 300 say "^4www.multiplay.co.uk ^7for all your gaming needs"
PB_SV_Task 32 300 say "^7IRC: ^4#mpukhosting ^7on QuakeNet"
PB_SV_Task 33 300 say "^2Forums: ^4http://forums.multiplay.co.uk"
