    Hello fellow "bukkiters?"

    I've got a big problem with my server my motd shows weird symbols. I use this for colors: /u00**
    Do i do anything wrong? I don't use any plugins for my MOTD this is the line i typed: \u00C2\u00A7d\u00C2\u00A7kiii\u00C2\u00A7r\u00C2\u00A76\u00C2\u00A7lOPEN-MINERS 1.7.4\u00C2\u00A7d\u00C2\u00A7kiii\u00C2\u00A7r

    Thank you, xxmarijnw

    Can you screenshot what it looks like? And also what you set it to be.

    Electro440 This thread is about xxmarijnw 's problem, you can join in the ride and see how it relates, but this thread will only follow the OP's problem. You can always create your own thread, but I suggest waiting to see if this thread answers your problem too.

    xxmarijnw Mind posting your plugins list? It could either be how your MOTD manager is handling the symbols, a typo in the symbols or your Texturepack's Font.
     
  6. This is format of the motd in server properties. If you want something more clear and better use this plugin:

    Gamecube762 I didn't want to create another thread, as this one is clearly already here. I'm assuming that 'weird symbols' is the same problem that I have. I don't think there are many different 'weird symbols' that can be put into a motd without you setting it.

    xDizasterCYx I don't see why I'd have to install a plugin for this. Color codes have never caused a problem before.

    xxmarijnw Sorry if I have taken over your thread, or if we have different problems.

    You are NOT using the right codes...that's why.

    \u00C2 = ? (this looks like an "A" character with a curve over the top)
    \u00A7d = Pink
    \u00A7k = Magic characters
    \u00A7r = Reset format codes to default
    \u00A76 = Orange/Gold
    \u00A7l = bold

    Remove \u00C2 and your funky characters will go away.

    My MOTD tag works perfectly. Here is how I have mine defined:

    Code:
    motd=\u00A7c\u00A7lHamCraft \u00A7r\u00A79v0.9.0\n\u00A7r\u00A7a|\u00A7c\u00A7k88\u00A7r\u00A7a| \u00A7lFactions,PvP,NoPvP,Parkour,Minigames \u00A7r\u00A7a|\u00A7c\u00A7k88\u00A7r\u00A7a|

    it isn't necessary, it's just for better results :)
    this plugin has many features about the motd.

    Alright, thanks. Maybe I'll try it out :)

    LHammonds Thank you so much. Those were the symbols that were showing up for me... an A with a curve on top. I will remove that code from my MotD now, thanks again :)
