Server message

Post by BurP »

Hi,
I recently setup a server but im having some trouble with the message(title)_of_day
I wanted to make a nice menu with all the rules and a welcome word blablabla..
But i am searching for a code to center the text, i have no idea what kind of code it even uses.
I could only find in the forum that \n is code for new line.
Maybe if someone can link me a clear list of some of the most used commands im fine.
Thanks

That is the only one there officially is. We also have the 0x color codes, read the wiki on those, but no formatting like centering things or making tables.

Except we should mention that it's monospace, so you can create your own sort of designs using spaces.

Example:

Code: Select all

You can change the font in 0.4 alphas, so you shouldn't count on the font always being monospaced.

you need to write it all on one line, without using returns, so

Code: Select all

+------------------------------------+\n|       _____   _   _   _____        |\n|      |__ __| | | | | | ____|       |\n|        | |   | |_| | | |__         |\n
and so on

You can also use “\”:

Code: Select all

line 1\n\
line 2\n\
line 3
Still, not all clients use monospaced fonts.

This would be what you need:

Code: Select all
