game_motd

Displays a custom MOTD/briefing window.

If no file path or message text is set, then the following default files are used: mapname_motd (short mode), mapname or mapname_readme (long mode). Whichever file is found first is set as the window text.

Text length is limited to 1536 characters by default. The Long mode spawn flag removes this limit but has these drawbacks:

• Custom titles don't work. The window title is automatically set to the name of the text file.
• The file is downloaded to clients, and so must be renamed if you ever update the text.

Keyvalue	Description

1 : All players	Open MOTD window for all players, not just the activator.
