Message of the Day Config

May need to be rewritten because of pull #1317 (idk) - bomber

Using TShock, a more powerful Message Of The Day system is provided than what is currently implemented by default Terraria. In the \tshockfolder resides a motd.txt configuration file that allows you to edit the message of the day to contain any message you want.

The following variables can be used inside your message:

  • %map% - This displays the name of your world that your server is running.
  • %players% - This lists the name of all the players who are currently logged into your server.

Example:
Welcome to my server!
Current map: %map%
Current players: %players%
You may also change the color of the lines displayed by using the %r,g,b% variable. Replace the "r", "g", and "b" with 3-digit numeric values from 0-255, with 0 having no saturation and 255 having maximum saturation.

  • %255,000,000% = Red
  • %000,255,000% = Green
  • %000,000,255% = Blue
