The ''motd.cfg'' file shown is the first found in this order: in your ''[[homepath]]\current_mod'' folder, then in your ''OAinstallation\current_mod'' folder, then in your ''homepath\baseoa'' folder, and then in your ''OAinstallation\baseoa'' folder. <small>This means that the game may print the ''motd.cfg'' file you previously set for ''[[baseoa]]'' also when you are running a [[mod]]: simply be careful to place the files in the right folders and do some tests. If you do not want a message of the day, you can simply delete the ''modt.cfg'' file, or save it empty (the latter method will prevent the engine from searching for a modt.cfg file in the next folder). For some info about the "[[homepath folder]]" location under different operating systems, take a look [[FAQ#Where are the configuration files saved?|here]].</small> |
