oO?
What else do you expect
like:
"edit ur server.cfg and add the following line to it:

Code: Select all

set sv_fullmsg "Ur text here."

then restart the server"

???

thanks deus

lol! Next time a sample config file with the setting is question is in order!

Server can give alternate messages to "server is full" by changing the cvar sv_fullmsg
Server can redirect clients to other servers when full (e.g. sv_fullmsg "ET://host.to.redirect.to:port")

can u give some example?

for example: "ET://89.174.246.11:27965" didnt work, theres an error



any ideas?

Here you go Luke, an example for you. On ghostworks server we advertise some friends of ours. The spaces are there to force the line breaks.

set sv_fullmsg "^7Sorry, we are full. ^7Maybe you could try our ^7friends at: ^3-=( Midnight Spikage )=- ^3 195.3.138.4:27960 ^7or continue to wait."

edit: hmm, looks like the forum post may have removed the excess spaces, you may need to fiddle.

hey,

thx, but i was thinking rather about automatic redirection, when u typed in sv_fullmsg only ip:port, it isnt working :/. The other idea is with hostname but i have no idea how

[McSteve]

set sv_fullmsg "ET://195.3.138.4:27960"

I tested that in my server.cfg and it works fine, maybe check for typos?

I have tested this redirection (luke's situation) too and an error just appeared in my console... shouldn't.

McSteve, it's a bit not useful, because you have to remember IP. Hopefully someone will make a screenshot by a "Print Screen"

[McSteve]

set sv_fullmsg "YOUR MESSAGE HERE"

will print a different message to "server is full", with no redirect.

set sv_fullmsg "ET://123.4.567.89:27960"

will automatically redirect to the specified IP.

[Igloo]

McSteve, it is set correctly.

The only way is the server admin made a "blank space" error (i mean  )...
