well - well,

after an extensive search with the help of all-mighty-google, on http://code.google.com/p/oax/ wiki and http://openarena.ws/board/ i still didn't found how-to.

i would like to config my server to advertise a message from time to time, let's say every 30 min, so the ingame players could see something like : pls wisit my website @ ...

i know this is possible, allready saw this on some servers and what i've understand from the docs i found is that this is done with the help of oaX

so i've dl, installed & configuerd oaX and is working fine.

now what ? ty.

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?
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...  Sad

They could use some external rcon command line, which would allow to use cron to plan events, or maybe they use some custom QVM but I think it's the first.

SupeR servers are using such tools, you might have an eye here.
