Solved Colored server broadcasts in vanilla?

Hello,
I see many VANILLA servers that have automatic broadcasts that include colors in them. How could I do the same with my server?

Cheers,

Use color tags.
Oxide API for Rust

 

Non plugin way:
Most hosts have a tab in TCAdmin Panel called scheduled task, Mostly used for Restarts.
You could select "Run RCON/Command" set your broadcasts in there and just add
<color=red>Test message</color> = Test message
You have the messages run every x minutes/hours/days or at an exact time.

 

You cannot use BB-code tags.
Rust's format is documented here: Unity - Manual: Rich Text

 

Ok, this helped me alot!

 

Yes you're right, I copied the red text and pasted into the code(text) box.
Correction to my post:
<colour=red>Test message</colour>

 

That still won't work, you cannot use the british spelling of color.

 

Rip auto correct

 

I use Rust Admin in a Vanilla server and color works for scheduled commands!

Anyone know how to do color for death messages in Rust Admin?

 

With a plugin, It's possible.
Without a plugin you'll probably have to edit some of the core DLL's, I may be wrong tho

 

If you use RustAdmin (Free or paid), Go to: Statistics.
On the right hand side there is an option to broadcast kills, You can also change the test to send.
Default:
${victim} was killed by ${killer}

Example of colored: <color=green>${victim} </color>was killed by <color=blue>${killer}</color>

Note, You will need to have RustAdmin open and connected for the kills to be broadcasted.

If he has a dedicated, he can set up RustAdmin using <color=> and </color>
He can do something very similar with TCAdmin

 

Great! Can't wait to try it tonight.

I'm a purist vanilla kinda guy. So are my players. Yes you do have to have rust admin running all day. However mine crashes after long time use on windows 10

 

Are you hosting your server on a pc at home, dedicated server or hosted server?
If it dedicated server you could download rust admin on your box and have it 24/7 on there
[DOUBLEPOST=1476284711][/DOUBLEPOST]You could create a batch file so when the program closes it will reopen (Assuming auto connect to server is enabled) and connect back to the server

 

Hosted server.
I'm wondering if I can upload ftp somewhere

 

Sadly you can't really run other programs on a VPS, even through FTP

 

Not much you can really do, If you have a spare laptop or old PC you don't use you could have it on 24/7 and run this .bat to keep RustAdmin open:

Code:

@echo off
echo To close RustAdmin, Close this program first
:Restart
start "RustAdmin" /wait "RustAdmin.exe"
echo RustAdmin was closed, Reopening...
goto Restart

Other than that, You have two options;
1: Edit the DLL's
2: Go modded

 

The colored kill messages work very nicely
Is there a way to make "Server" in the messages have a different color?
