I tried this, but can't get it to work, is there another way?
Syntax: Select all
from _messages import UserMessage
from filters.players import PlayerIter
from filters.recipients import RecipientFilter
def load():
for index in PlayerIter():
motd(index,
name='info', show=True,
subkeys={'title': 'Test', 'type': '2', 'msg': 'http://www.google.com'})
def motd(users, name, show=True, subkeys=dict()):
recipients = RecipientFilter(users)
message = UserMessage(recipients, 'VGUIMenu')
message.set_string('name', name)
message.set_bool('show', show)
message.set_byte('length', len(subkeys))
for key, value in subkeys.items():
message.set_string('key', key)
message.set_string('value', value)
message.send_message()
I'm getting errors like "Could not find field name 'key' for usermessage 'VGUIMenu'".

It is likely that you are doing something wrong in your `key, value` loop, but I do not have enough experience to tell you.
On the CSGO MOTD subject, it is very sensitive issue and when you fix your key-value problem, you are likely to get to the point when MOTD just doesn't work anyway.
In that case, please read this topic:
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1808763 it helped me once, hopefully it will save you hours of a pain.

I tried to open a motd window in csgo now again with the recent messages update, but it's still not working properly.
In my testing code I found out that the motd panel actually opens, but it's hidden even tho "show" is set to True. The website I'm using opens a new browser tab/window which will be displayed in game, but the actual motd won't.
ScreenshotSyntax: Select all
from messages import VGUIMenu
from events import Event
from players.helpers import index_from_userid
def motd(index, title, site, show=True):
name = 'info'
subkeys = {'title': title, 'type': '2', 'msg': site}
VGUIMenu(name, subkeys=subkeys, show=show).send(index)
@Event('player_say')
def player_say(event):
print("test")
userid = event.get_int('userid')
index = index_from_userid(userid)
motd(index, 'test', 'https://jsfiddle.net/opuztLvj/4/')
Any ideas? Thanks.

Your screenshot shows a working MOTD, so where is the problem?
When I was testing the MOTD with the new messages package I was using the example MOTD from the AlliedModders thread stinckyfax linked here:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
var popup=window.open("http://blog.counter-strike.net/motd/recent_post.php","Test Page :D ","height=600,width=800");
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>It seems like you always need to use the "window.onload" listener and use the JavaScript function "window.open" to open your website.

The problem is that this is not a solution, but a workaround. You will first need to open another website to get to the website you actually want to go, making it a bit more tricky if you have a plugin that let's you open a players' steam profile and not the same website every time.
Sourcemod can do it, so why not SourcePython? I would still like to use the regular MOTD panel.

A better workaround would be to write a temporary file on your server and send that instead of the actual website. Though, I hope there is a real fix.

How do you send that?

Syntax: Select all
motd(index, 'test', <path to the file on your server>)

I've never used MOTD with local server pages, so I don't know - path relative to what? mod folder? E.g. cstrike/page.html?

I can't remember if relative paths were working. But if they are working, they would probably need to be relative to the srcds executable. Example:
Syntax: Select all
motd(index, 'test', 'file://cstrike/page.html')

Worth mentioning that I got this error in CS:S
Blocking MOTD URL 'file://D:/srv/page.html'; must begin with 'http://' or 'https://' or be about:blank

Sorry for bumping older threads, but Im still having problems with that.
In my plugin, players can view their or other's player profiles in form of a menu and theres one option to open up the player's steamcommunity page. Is there already a work around or a good redirect script for that? I dont want to add for every player a specific STEAM_0:xx redirect file on my web server.

How about this
Syntax: Select all
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect</title>
<script type="application/javascript">
var redirectToIndex = location.href.indexOf('#');
if (redirectToIndex > -1) {
var redirectTo = location.href.slice(redirectToIndex + 1);
window.open(redirectTo, "MOTD", "scrollbars=yes");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Use it like so
Code: Select all
/redirect.html#http://steamcommunity.com/id/its_iPlayer

Guys, a new Valve patch happened.
It broke this way of displaying vgui menu in CS:GO.
Some code:
Syntax: Select all
from commands.typed import TypedSayCommand
from filters.players import PlayerIter
from messages import VGUIMenu
from players.engines.csgo import Player
def motd(player, title, site, show=True):
name = 'info'
subkeys = {'title': title, 'type': '2', 'msg': site}
return VGUIMenu(name, subkeys=subkeys, show=show).send(player.index)
def vgui_show(player: int, session_url: str, session_id: str):
print(f'opening {session_url}/ for player {player.index}')
vgui_menu = motd(player, 'test', f'{session_url}/')
return vgui_menu
@TypedSayCommand('!vgui')
def cmd_on_strip(command_info):
print(command_info.index)
player = Player(command_info.index)
vgui_show(player, "https://jsfiddle.net/opuztLvj/4", "")
Code, in jsfiddle link:
Code: Select all
<script>
function timeIt(){
setTimeout("moveIt()",1);
}
function moveIt(){
window.open("http://google.com");
}
</script>
<body onload="timeIt()">
I used windows game client with -insecure argument for testing.

Hey,
you should definitely read this thread because CS:GO is not showing a motd unless you use a workaround with javascript.
Im not sure, but I think I heard something about the dead of CS:GO motd because the way they changed the motd in the recent patch. (You can only put a url in the motd file...)
I cant confirm it, but I can remember hearing something like this the past days.
Maybe because of the Panorama update? Are you using it for the testing purpose?

First of, I should mention, that I used code from this thread, and it worked fine before Panorama update. I tried to debug it till protobuff method in _send().
Worked without errors, and trick you described, worked fine (see jsfiddle code).
In my opinion, problem is in Panorama update. Valve even mentioned MOTD in official patch notes (not relating to this issue, but still...). If this is correct, I still require community help with this issue (at least, pointing out that my testing enviroment is incorrect, and everything works fine).
