Is it possible to use this to display my periodic messages instead of using the part in the cfg file (that I can never get to work correctly)?
I could just edit it to my needs, and then upload it in my lvz, right? |

ya...that should work
the only problem is most people have it off - because when they first download the game the msgs annoy the hell out of them |

Yeah, because everyone knows how to turn on multifire... "Enough already!" I'll just ask them to turn it on with the greet message. Should work though. |

You realise then, if they do turn it on, they'd be pretty annoyed when they enter another zone, so this is just a bad idea. Get a bot, or use the perodic messaging system. |

Good way to spread the word though.
Then someone explain that stupid periodic message system to me please. |

Misc:PeriodicMessage1:::Must be set to this format: (Time for repeating) (Delay after arena is created) (Text) *Read Next!
Misc:PeriodicMessage2:::Time for repeating will be after every X mins (60=1hour, 1440=1day), will display this message. *READ NEXT!
Misc:PeriodicMessage3:::Delay will be after first person enters arena, it will then start this many mins after they enter. Good so they don't get one instantly for no reason. *READ NEXT!
Misc:PeriodicMessage4:::Text will be the text. If text starts with a * (ie: *Hello), will act as a *zone message. If no * (ie: Hello), will act as a *arena command. |
eg "5 7 check out astral chaos' website!"
means it would be displayed 7 minutes after the first person enters the arena, and then every 5 minutes after that
add a "*" before text to make it a *zone instead of just *arena msg |
