How to Make a CSS MOTD

The Message Of The Day on a "Counter-Strike: Source," or CSS, server is the message that is displayed when users first connect to the server. "Counter-Strike: Source" is an online computer game which requires users to connect to a server in order to play. While "Counter-Strike: Source" servers display a standard MOTD by default, you might want to edit it to, for example, offer a personalized greeting to players or to tell them about special events. You can edit the MOTD on your "Counter-Strike: Source" server by modifying a specific file.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the directory into which you installed your "Counter-Strike: Source" server. Typically, that directory is named "cstrike." If your server is on a remote computer, you can either use Windows' remote connection tool or an FTP client to connect to it. If your "Counter-Strike: Source" server is on your own computer, open that directory in Windows Explorer.
- 2
  Double-click on the "motd.txt" file. The computer will now automatically launch Notepad and open the file.
- 3
  Replace the default MOTD by any message you wish to display to players connecting to your server.
- 4
  Save the file by clicking on "File" and selecting "Save."
