[CUSTOM] Zone MOTDs

[John Adams]

I was thinking it might be a cool [custom] EQ2Emu feature if we allowed admins to set customized MOTDs for individual zones. Say a player zones into Commonlands - and there is a GM event happening that day. Maybe a special message with instructions, etc. Many other applications as well.

Just a thought, for that 0.9-1.0 cycle.

Scatman said he was interested in taking a look at this custom request, so I have added the zone_motd field to the `zones` table at his request.

[Scatman]

Done, after some minor difficulties

How'd the linux thing turn out?

[Scatman]

It wasn't a linux problem, at least I don't think. It was the fact that I didn't set my field to NULL. It runs fine on win32 and linux now though.

Well hell, thanks for jumping on that Scatman! I didn't expect that feature for a year A nice custom touch, imo.

I plan to use it to message the content team about what is or is not ready in a zone. I think it'll be very useful to others as well. Nice work!
