didnt know what subject to call this lol,

how do you print something across the arena screen from the server,i dont mean chat.so every one sees it.

ie i was playing quake arena one day and a large colourful message appeared across my moniter saying hi all wankers lol.

only the server admin can setup MOTD.
"message of the day"
players cannot do it.

default quake3 motd config ..mods may have a better MOTD system,iknow OSP does

How do I change the MOTD?
set scr_motd "Message" in server file


How do I add colors to the server name or MOTD?
Use the following infront of the letters you want a specific color:
^0 for black text
^1 for red text
^2 for green text
^3 for yellow text
^4 for blue text
^5 for cyan text
^6 for pink text

For example, typing: ^1GriffinRUN would appear as:
[color=#FF0000][WYD][/color]
