Are you talking about a message in console, like a text chat message from the server admin, but automated? I think I saw it on some servers, but I don't know how to make it... :( PS: some general info about OAX here: (DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/OAX Title: Re: OAX - OpenArena Extended - Server Console Advertising Post by: Akts^Itachi on February 22, 2011, 03:11:32 PM I suppose you are not talking about the "message of the day" ((DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Servers#Message_of_the_day), right?

SupeR servers are using such tools, you might have an eye here (http://www.superbots.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=697). Title: Re: OAX - OpenArena Extended - Server Console Advertising Post by: Akts^Itachi on February 23, 2011, 01:20:25 AM kktoes ty
