Banners not working?

Post by Ghoti »

For some reason, the banners on my server do not seem to be getting displayed.. Here is an excerpt from my server.cfg:

Code: Select all

b_bannerlocation        0                       // Location of adverts
b_bannertime            300                     // Seconds between spams
b_banners               5                       // Number of banners
b_banner1 "Thanks for choosing the Happy Fun Ball Gaming Network!"
b_banner2 "Join us on IRC:  #funball on GamesNet and QuakeNet"
b_banner3 "Communicate with your allies on TeamSpeak:  The server's at et.hfbgaming.com"
b_banner4 "Kindly do not snipe, mine, or airstrike spawn points."
b_banner5 "Feedback or reccomendations?  Email ghoti@hsgcomputers.com"
Shoving, the XP saver, and everything else seems to work just perfectly.. Is there somehting I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: If it helps, this is a Linux server.

Well, I'll be setting this lower for the duration of testing, but I figure, 6 messages per map ought to be enough. That said, though, it just isn't working :(

it shouldn't effect it but you do just have 1 space between the b_banners and the 5 correct, and also the set term involved right... eg
set b_banners 5

That did the trick! Changing it to use the 'set' command got it working. Thanks!
