Messages defined in mpmissions/<mission>/db/messages.xml are never displayed in the in-game chat to connected players.

The server starts normally, the mission loads, players can join and play, but neither a repeating message nor an onConnect/onconnect message ever appears on the client.

Environment:

• DayZ Server 1.30.164078 (dedicated server, app 223350), Linux (amd64), run in a Docker container (cm2network/steamcmd image) on Ubuntu

• Map/mission: dayzOffline.nasdara

• Client: PC, Windows

Additional information:

• The file is readable by the server user (verified from inside the container); no XML or parse errors are logged in the RPT/script logs during mission load.

• Tried both <onconnect> and <onConnect>, with and without <delay>/<repeat>/<deadline>/<shutdown> tags.

1) Set up a dedicated server with the default mission and edit mpmissions/dayzOffline.nasdara/db/messages.xml to contain:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
   <messages>
     <message>
       <repeat>1</repeat>
       <text>Test message #name</text>
     </message>
     <message>
       <delay>1</delay>
       <repeat>2</repeat>
       <onconnect>1</onconnect>
       <text>Welcome to my server #name</text>
     </message>
   </messages>

2) Restart the server, join with a client and stay connected for several minutes.

The test message appears in the in-game chat every minute, and the welcome message appears about 1 minute after connecting (as described in the example comments of the default messages.xml).

Actual result:

No message is shown at any time.
