MOTD and the possibility to give the player a message over rcon

48 votes

I would love it if we could have a MOTD and also a way to message players via rcon.

I have autobalancing and stuff like that and I would like to inform the player why he gets team switched :D

The MOTD could also be html or just a link that opens :)

Yes! This would be perfect for communities to add their own discord, or their server rules etc upon spawning into the server.

Absolutely agree this is a most needed feature on Pavlov. MOTD would allow for important information to be passed over to users by server admins etc. I was actually going to suggest this same feature. I'm glad I made a search before posting.

The ability to send players a personal message over RCON would also be absolutely fantastic these days. I hope this show sup soon rather than later.

Yep, MOTDs would be very nice for rules and links, and could also be updated with important info, like all servers going down every Tuesday night for maintenance etc.

Please also consider to send a customized message to a given player via RCON.

There's an empty spot on the new Server Info area that would be awesome to add the MOTD.
Check out this screenshot to see what I mean.
