Local HTML File Error

[Violat0r]

Using the latest ulx with a local HTML file causes the following error. I replaced the motd.txt with a file that contains HTML.

[ERROR] addons/ulx-master/lua/ulx/modules/cl/motdmenu.lua:216: attempt to index field 'motdSettings' (a nil value)

Due to workshop restrictions (and potential security concerns about having motd stored in the data folder), we moved away from loading the MOTD from a local file and replaced it with an MOTD generator. The generator can create/configure a quick MOTD without having to know any HTML.

However, we are planning on bringing back support for a local HTML file- it's probably used more likely than we think. We are working out the details and will have something soon.

For now, you'll either have to stick with the MOTD generator, or find a place you host your webpage and access it via URL.

This bug (ULX not recognizing malformed MOTD setting files) has not been fixed yet, but you can use MOTD files again with ea5840a

The newest changes to ulx broke the url option. It does not save the url and reverts back to ulyssesmod.net.

Delete your ULX config file under data/ and see if the problem persists.

We've just changed the cvars to to ulx_motdfile and ulx_motdurl, and adjusted the configurations. This should solve the issues with the URL not saving.
