Hi

It's not really a tutorial, but I've made a pack to be able to get a dynamic
and graphical motd
I've modified my scripts so you have a config.php file, but all the text is
still hardcoded. It will not be difficult to modify it though.
You'll find the doc (in french and english) and a tar.gz with all the needed
files on my server's blog: http://www.coldfire.info/?p=64
Feel free to ask for help replying to this "thread".
The motd as provided has about, rules and contact "blocks", as well as a
mapcycle bloc, displaying in color current map and nextmap. If the
current/nextmap is not in the mapcycle, then the map name is written in the
legend. And the code has comments, so it should not be difficult to modify
and adapt to your needs if you have basic php-gd knowledge.
