Hey Trenloe, is there a way to change the title of the MOTD to something else more suited to a campaign? I guess an example would be "Previously on Curse of Strahd", but basically anything to suit a campaign being run instead of a plain old MOTD. While I'm okay with XML code now, I'm not too much up on LUA stuff yet, even though it does look somewhat similar.
If possible I'd like you to walk me through the process needed to change it from MOTD to anything I so desire, or a DM in a group I play in also wishes too. I have Notepad++ so I know how to easily edit files after changing extensions and modules to ZIP files and opening the LUA and XML files to change things, I just don't quite understand what I'm looking at entirely yet, and a bit of practice would make perfect, so to speak.“The line between the Light and the Darkness is not always so thin, for Good can come of wrong just as Evil may show from right. But sometimes...the Ends justify the Means”.

Looks like the following line in manager_motd_extension.lua is what you need to change:
if DB.getValue(vNode, "name", "") == "MOTD" then
Actually not the whole line, just the MOTD between quotes.
Whatever title you want to use on your story entry has to match exactly with what is between those quotes.

Hah, yeah I had a feeling it'd be as simple as a single line of code or one section of it. I'm just not exactly an expert in the field and only dabble when I want something done. It's always the way though, one little thing, but it did the trick when I tested it via Local Host.
Thanks for jumping in for me, it'll be useful to both myself as a GM and for the DM who runs another game for me.“The line between the Light and the Darkness is not always so thin, for Good can come of wrong just as Evil may show from right. But sometimes...the Ends justify the Means”.

Thanks for the confirm.
I never claimed to be sane. Besides, it's more fun this way.
