Title: [] in-game MOTD
Post by: cg on April 17, 2018, 09:18:32 pm

throw like 3-5 spans on the login screen that display whatever text we give them

add chat commands /motd1 (text), /motd2 (text) etc to set the text in the messages

give certain accounts (basically you and me at the moment) some account flag that lets them use the motd commands. if we ever actually implemented "chatmod" as a thing, that works fine

among other things i can use this to advertise "league is starting up" and whatever other shit necessary. seems like a pretty minimal coding time with a lot of payout. can probably recycle the code for displaying the most recent patch change if needed

Consider Kongregate, who skips login screen. Otherwise this can be put together in under an hour

writing down the answer from chat - additionally post motd to on-menu chat upon login

I login automatically, I see login screen for only a fraction of a second before it's replaced with the main menu. So yeah posting it somewhere else is better.

Minimal viable product. UI tweaks can be iterated on; marking this closed
