CSB Welcome MOTD greets players properly. A short delay after they connect it opens a welcome MOTD - either a URL or a local HTML/text file you specify - and prints a personalised coloured chat line with the player's name, their country (resolved with GeoIP from their IP) and, for returning players, their score. Set csb_welcome_firstonly and the MOTD is shown only the very first time a SteamID is ever seen; that flag is stored in an nVault database so it survives map changes and restarts.

Features

MOTD from a URL or a local file, shown once per map after a delay.
Coloured chat greeting with name and GeoIP country.
First-time-only mode backed by an nVault flag per SteamID.
Bots are skipped.
