Server banners
Rotating server banners are enabled through the cvar b_banners, which specifies the number of banners to display.
If set to 0, it disables rotating banners.

Each banner is defined through the cvar b_bannern, where n is an integer from 1-999.

The location of the banners is defined through the cvar b_bannerlocation:
0 - Player chat area
1 - Left popup area (not recommended)
2 - Centerprint area (where, for example, the 'Arming dynamite...' message is displayed)
3 - Console only
4 - Banner area (the very top of the screen)
The time in seconds between banners is defined through the cvar b_bannertime

Example:
b_banners 3
b_bannerlocation 0
b_bannertime 30
set b_banner1 "This is banner number 1"
set b_banner2 "Banner number 2 is being displayed"
set b_banner3 "Now banner number 3 is shown"

example.cfg wrote:// b_bannerlocation - Defines the locations where banners are printed
// add together the following values:
// 8 - player chat area 16 - left popup area (not recommended)
// 32 - centered above the chat area 64 - console only
// 128 - banner area (recommended)
// For compatibility, the old-style locations (from 0-4) are also supported.
// The client defaults to b_logbanners 1, which effectively adds 64 to the
// locations list if it's not already present, so adding 64 isn't necessary
// unless you want to force the messages to be logged to the console.
// default: 128 valid values: 0-248
set b_bannerlocation 128

conosle mesages by -say show in player chat earea so use b_bannerlocation 8

console only means don't display them anywhere else
if you want them displayed in the console and the chat area then choose 8

yeah i have tried that.

but it does not add "console" onto the beginning of the message like it does when you use rcon say

1.) Why do you want it to add "console"?

2.) add it by urself

"^7Console: put text here"
