I want to add an automatic message to my server that appears every set amount of minutes, I've seen it in other dedicated servers and was wondering how to do it. I would also like to know how to send a message to the players through the console, should I need to take the server down for a few minutes or something, it would be nice to give the players a heads up.

The only way you can do this is if its in Halo Custom Edition and you say in the CMD window.

sv_say "what you want to say"

Thats the only way I can think of.

Crap, my bad xD

I just kinda got the idea the Maw was only about H2V now, because that seems to be the only thing people talk/complain about nowadays :X

Actually, yes, it's not the " Sv_Say " command, no, it isn't. You create a notepad document named " motd ", type what you want the people who join to see, and as a command line, type " -motd ". I may not be correct, as it has been a while, but give that a shot.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Exactly. On our server it's:
sv_motd motd.txt
