I'm assuming your BL folder is in Program Files.

My Computer > C: > Program Files > Blockland > base > config > server > prefs.cs

Find the line that says $Pref::Server::WelcomeMessage = "whatever";

Replace "whatever" with your message.

Sorry if there's an easier way.

yes, BL is in program files, and thanks, i never would have figured that out on my own, thanks a lot

ok from now on message me the things you need help with cause ill tell you... anways you could use igso or you can go to C:\Program Files\Blockland\base\config\server and open up prefs with notepad, find this line, and change the stuff in red:
$Pref::Server::WelcomeMessage = "\c2 Welcome to the -[TK]- clan server %1";
your will say something different because i changed mine already
after that save it and hit yes to overwrite the existing one
aww i was gunna tell him how lol

Well, you did leave out 2 important points: coloring, and adding the player's name.

Coloring is done in that line with \c# in the message, and # is a digit, 0-9.
0- red
1- blue
3- yellow
4- idk
5- idk
6- idk
7- white?
8- gray
9- black
They effect everything after the code, like \c0red \c1blue makes red blue
You do NOT have to space after using it.

Adding the player's name is done by putting %1 in the message, you also don't have to space it out either.
Like "Hi %1" makes "Hi yoshikid" in your case.

While in your own server or one you are a Super Admin on, type /colortest in the chat to see what \c#s you can use. Other things you can add:

<color:BB0000>Text =

Text

- Change the BB0000 with a Hex Code for any color you like. Works like \c#.
Rules\nDon't Spam<br>No random Spawns =

Rules
Don't Spam
No Random Spawns

- Newlines.
<a:www.example.com>Hello =

Hello

- Link, used by pushing M and clicking it. I'm not sure this is exactly how it is used, though...
<font:Impact:64>HI, %1!<font:Palatino Linotype:20> Normal chat. =

HI, yoshikid! Normal chat.

= Remember to reset with the Palatino Linotype tag or the person who just join will have messed up chat for a bit...

o and is there a limit to how long it is, cuz its not shoing up now after the hex code, im typeing in "<color:BB0000>Welcome, Build a fort, some rules\nMo Clan spamming<br>I have only wrench, dont ask for it<br>be nice %1" but it becomes blank, and i dont no what i did wrong, im thinking its the backslashs, do they have to be "\" or this "/" sorry for the trouble

[Space Guy]

Code: [Select]

$Pref::Server::WelcomeMessage = "<color:BB0000>Welcome, Build a fort. Rules:\nNo Clan Spamming\nI have the only wrench, don't ask for it\nBe Nice, %1"
Try that.
