Hello community. I would like to know if there is any plugin that allows automatic welcome messages on the server, since the one we were using until now has stopped working and the developer is not going to continue with it. In my community we like to leave the servers in public mode so that people who want to enter to pilot, but we would like to make it known which community hosts the server so that pilots who enter it can see their times or can contact us at if they are interested in participating in an organized race. Therefore, I would like to know if there is any method, official or through a plugin, to inform visitors of our server. Greetings.
It doesn't work at all. It does not show messages, neither in the servers that it did before nor in the new ones, although I installed the latest version of the plugin.
It is the plugin that we were using until now and when it stopped working I went to download the latest version and that's when I read that, apparently, it has stopped continuing its development and has been disconnected from simracing for a couple of years. At least that's what I understood in this message from him. https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/welcome-message-plugin.30954/page-11#post-1081191
Using the latest version here and all working as advertised, can you post a screen of your server's WelcomePlugin.json...sometimes there's an erroneous comma in there stuffing things up.
Is the plugin actually running at all? I think if you run the server with trace=2 you should be able to see that it's loaded on startup in the trace file (hope I remember that right) *(it definitely should create an entry in the custompluginvariables.json file, so you could remove that and see if it reappears when you run the server. If not you may need to install the correct runtimes for it)
It works fine for us on 4 servers -- Installation -- - put the WelcomePlugin.dll file in the rFactor2 Bin64\Plugins folder - put the WelcomePlugin.json file in the rFactor2 profile folder - In the "CustomPluginVariables" of each server, you have to put this: "WelcomePlugin.dll":{ " Enabled":1 },
Works!! I deleted the lines created in "CustomPluginVariables.JSON" and re-executed everything, it re-created them and displayed the message on the server. We recently migrated everything from an old computer to a new server. Is it possible that certain things were left broken with the migration? Well, anyway, thank you all very much for your help.
