If you guys need somewere to host your text files for usage, contact me I can get them up, like so:
http://68.147.211.67/halopc-motd_106.txt
or an idea here, would it be possible to create a program that automaticaly downloads a replacement Strings.dll and replaces the default one when there is an update? You could then host the modded txt file on a web site, create w/e ads and stuff you want, give the auto downloader to people who want it, and there ya go, spiffy new messages for the community. You could put map updates or news on Halo 2 Vista, ads for clans mb?
For my clan I posted a download to a modded Strings.dll, they download it, I update the motd every now and then, we win :P
