Open File

This page covers two windows: the Open File window and the Message Of The Day window.

Open File

This window lets you pick a file on your computer. It opens when you choose Scripts from the CM Tools part of the Arena Setup menu. It starts in the scripts folder in your game folder.

• The title at the top says what the file is for, and the line below it shows the folder you are in.
• The list shows the files and folders in that folder. Folder names are shown in < >. Pick <..> to go up one folder.
• OK - Opens the selected folder, or uses the selected file. Double clicking a line does the same.
• Cancel - Closes the window without choosing a file.

A script is a text file with a list of dot commands, one per line. When you choose a script, the game runs its commands as if you typed them. Each command still needs the rights it normally needs. See Text Dot Commands.

Message Of The Day

The Message Of The Day (MOTD) is the arena message players see when they enter the arena. Players can show it again with Arena Message on the Tower or Hangar menu. Open this window with MOTD in the CM Tools part of the Arena Setup menu. You need CM or moderator rights in the arena to change the message.

The message is uploaded from a text file on your computer:

• Edit the motd.txt file in the motd folder in your game folder.
• Save it with a different name, keeping the .txt extension.
• Type that name in Enter your MOTD file name:. You do not need to type .txt; it is added for you. The file must be in the motd folder.
• Click Upload to send the file to the arena.

Delete MOTD removes the current message from the arena, after you confirm.

Cancel closes the window without changes.

When you create a custom arena, you can also choose a message file there, and it is uploaded when you enter the arena.
