Description

Put a welcome message on your server.

The welcome message will be shown once after players have selected their character.

HOW TO EDIT THE MESSAGE (DEDICATED SERVER):

Add the following section to your modoverrides.lua file on your server:

-- in MyDediServer/Master/modoverrides.lua ["workshop-1609069355"]={ configuration_options={ -- edit the welcome message here ["welcome_message"] = [[ Welcome ! Here are the rules: 1) Have fun 2) Be helpful to new players 3) Putting fire to everything = permaban ]] , -- you can also edit a custom title here, otherwise the server name will be displayed ["welcome_message_title"] = "Default_Title" , -- other window parameters MessageLength="big", --valid values: "small", "big", "bigger" MessageWhen="selection", --"spawn", "selection" WindowStyle="light", --"light", "dark", "dark_wide" WindowTheme="original", --"original", "redux" },enabled=true },

You need to keep the [[ ]] symbols.

HOW TO EDIT THE MESSAGE (HOSTED LOBBY):

1) Edit the file <DST game directory>\mods\workshop-1609069355\modinfo.lua and look for the following part:

local welcome_message_description = [[ This is the default server welcome message. You can edit it in <DST-directory>/mods/workshop-1609069355/modinfo.lua You can also put a custom title by changing welcome_message_title ]] local welcome_message_title = "Default_Title"

2) After you've edited the file, click "Reset" in the mod configuration options in your server tab or make some random modifications and "Apply" them.

KNOWN ISSUES:

The size of the welcome message is limited to about 5 lines by default. It is possible to select a higher size but only for "Redux" window theme (Forge).

Hey, I have been having issues with not being able to change messages even if I hit reset. Changing the modoverides.lua only works on my dedicated server but I like to generate the world on my PC and transfer the files to the server without having to edit it again. I couldn't find a way to work around this until I noticed you had some areas commented out for the title and message choices. I don't know if you were working on this as a future option but what you started doing with having the ability to select different titles and messages is the fix.

Great mod, seems exactly like what I was looking for. Does this still work?
Would it be possible to implement a public command that goes like /message or /rules or so to show the popup again?

I have no workshop-1609069355. What did I do wrong?

I feel like the welcome message is a bit complicated, but it is acceptable from the game its in, if it was in many other games, I would be VERY stingy about it.
