SERVER MESSAGES NO LONGER WORK
New, UrgentPublic

Description

I have a private server through Nitrado.net and I had my messages.xml file configured and all messages were working fine, however. After the recent 1.05 update, my server messages are no longer working. I have even started my server over from scratch and they still are not working.

<text>----> EVERY SATURDAY PVP ALL DAY @ SEVEROGRAD <----</text>

In this line, the <---- is causing an issue with the processing of the message. Without it, the message should work.

@Impuls I will try this.

Can you assist with another question? If I have the below message, I understand it will ONCONNECT, WAIT 25 mins
before displaying but, I do not understand the REPEAT - Is it repeat every 60 mins? or 60th min of the hour? or repeat 60 times? or WAIT 25 mins for FIRST message with 60 min counter already started then repeat every 60 mins?

<message>
        <delay>25</delay>
        <repeat>60</repeat>
        <onconnect>1</onconnect>
        <text>Test Message</text>
    </message>

@Impuls BTW your suggestion to remove

the <---- is causing an issue with the processing of the message

Resolved my issue! Thank you.
