Messaging

From version 1.2.0 on, you can easily customize the message of the day (the welcome message you get when connecting), as well as send regular messages to all connected clients.

Configuration Example

Add the following snippet to your server.appsettings.json in your LaciSynchroni block, then customize it as you need it.

{
  "MessageConfiguration": {
    "MessageOfTheDay": {
      "Severity": "Warning",
      "Message": "Welcome to %ServerName%! There will be a scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, 10th October 2045! Expect 20 minutes downtime!"
    },
    "PeriodicMessageInterval": "0.04:30:00",
    "PeriodicMessages": [
      {
        "Severity": "Information",
        "Message": "Please consider compressing your mod files to help reduce server load!"
      },
      {
        "Severity": "Warning",
        "Message": "Namazu have invaded the server and are holding it ransom! Please help!"
      },
      {
        "Severity": "Error",
        "Message": "Oh no, there are %OnlineUsers% online! Panic!"
      }
    ]
  }
}
