Welcome updater
This serverside plugin will check the WelcomeMessage option in gg2.ini every minute (approx), and will retransmit the welcome message if it gets updated. Great for unwanted commentaries.
Please note: This is a serverside plugin: It only works if you are the host.



Sending a new welcome message is simple.

• Open gg2.ini (the options file)
• Scroll down to "WelcomeMessage="
• Change the text to the desired edit message
• Wait a few seconds for the update to get noticed
• ??
• PROFIT

Known bugs:

• When the server is started, the welcome message will display twice instead of once. (Affects host only)
• Game maker is dumb and writes to gg2.ini when closed, even when no changes are made. This causes Notepad++ to think the file was edited.

To install this plugin, download "welcomeupdater.gml" and put it in your Plugins folder

    if (global.nextchecktime > 1800)
is this in ticks? I thought gg2 ran at 60tps

Yeah, you only run 60FPS servers if you're a buffoon.
global.nextchecktime is incremented by 0.5 if you're running 60fps, and 1 at 30fps, so the time is always 1 minute.

Code: [Select]

global.nextchecktime += global.delta_factor;
