Mani Admin is quite old and I don't think you can use it for what you are after.

I would suggest looking at a newer admin mod like Sourcemod (sourcemod.com) and looking in there addons section for a plugin that will do this for you

ok, I have this too in my servers uhm well it isnt the plugin you need to open the MOTD.txt in ur cstrike/ folder ill show u what to do.. well its very simple actually just go to ur motd.txt open it or edit it then just place this in it:
<NOEMBED>
<BGSOUND src="<YOURSITEHERE>/cstrike/intro.wav";>
</NOEMBED>

any further questions Ill be glad to anweser them!
have fun!

That's a very cheap way to go about it. Admin tools like sourcemod have plugins that can run it ingame, rather than relying on a MOTD to handle it.

It is really easy with mani admins mod.

In your "/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/" there is a file called "actionsoundlist.txt" open that and this is what you will see:

//"joinserver" admin_plugin/actions/joinserver.mp3
"votestart" admin_plugin/actions/startyourvoting.mp3
"voteend" admin_plugin/actions/endofvote.mp3
//"roundstart" admin_plugin/actions/roundstart.mp3
//"roundend" admin_plugin/actions/roundend.mp3
"restrictedweapon" admin_plugin/actions/restrictedweapon.wav
"menuselect" admin_plugin/actions/menuselect.wav
"menuexit" admin_plugin/actions/menuexit.wav

take the "//" out of the line

"//"joinserver" admin_plugin/actions/joinserver.mp3" so it looks like ""joinserver" admin_plugin/actions/joinserver.mp3"

then get the sound file you want people to hear and name it
"joinserver.mp3" to mirror what is in that line (alternatively
you can name the sound what you want but you will have to mirror
that name in that line in the file).

Then place the sound in:

"/cstrike/sound/admin_plugin/actions"

then finaly upload it to your fastDL site with the directory of:

"cstrike/sound/admin_plugin/actions".

Now a player will hear the sound
every time they join the server.

NB: Keep the sound under 30-40 seconds to avoid lenghy download times.

I like that motd method! I find it a pain when servers make me download sounds before joining.

All I will add is a suggestion to make the .wav as small as you can. Dithering usually helps a lot when downsampling.

Yeah I aggree to a certain extent. If it is a full song it is not such a great idea. I have kept my entry sound to 22 seconds or less and it mere seconds to download.
