4 years ago Hi, the in-game motd is only updated between matches. If you check the 'Welcome' area in the web admin panel it should display the updated motd but it won't show up in-game until the next match. !reload_motd will check the file on disk for changes whereas !update_motd just updates the score information.
Rebooting the server won't be productive in troubleshooting the issue, try switch maps. If the issue is related to the reload_motd command, restarting the tool might help. Double check your file names too. In the configuration file magicked_admin.conf you should have a section with your server information titled [server_one] or similar, the .motd file has to match that, i.e. server_one.motd, omitt the [] braces.

The issue I'm having, is I can far from constantly get the MOTD to actually update. Between infinite
