12/14/97 - Message of the Day Quake 2 mod. version .2 This is an x86 Win32 DLL. The DLL AND MOTD.TXT MUST be installed into the \quake2\motd directory! This a simple MOTD patch for a Quake2 server. However, it reads the MOTD from the file MOTD.TXT. So now the server admin can easily change the MOTD for their own use without having to re-compile anything. The MOTD.TXT file also sets the display duration (in seconds) of the MOTD. The first line should be numeric. This is the duration the message will be displayed. The next few lines are the alphanumeric MOTD, up to 256 characters. The width of a line is shown in the included MOTD.TXT. Sample Useage: quake2.exe +set dedicated 1 +set game "motd" +set deathmatch 1 +map base1 Source code available on request.

The bug would cause the player to overflow when a third or fourth player would enter the game. Dumb. 12/12/97 released
