[SA:MP MAN]

I have downloaded a server but there are a couple of things i need to change, like the messages that popup, and the mode for the server. The problem is that i am a newb and i have no idea how to change these things. So can anyone help me and please explain to me how to change this stuff in the most simple way possible.
Thank you.
Sorry for asking for so much help on this website.

Open up the gamemode with PAWN, look for the text using ctrl+f and change that, then once your done press F5

Well to change Game mode you must have your own game mode and you can also find out some on samp fourms and game mode scripts for all that you can edit server.cfg file to edit most of the things.
