Server News
for NidToolbox Light
requries nid-core module available here
NEW - if you would like to have your server logo appear in the notifications area in messages that come from NidToolbox. Please join my Discord https://discord.nidaren.net/ and post them in #server-logos
channel.
Create displayable Server News, containing most recent updates to your server.
Support is provided as well as suggestions are accepted on my Discord here
Server News module allows:
- This simple module allows server admins to list recent Server News on date-by-date basis.
- News can be then displayed by the players in a pop-up window in game via a command.
- It is possible to set the module to display the news automatically on login, and with set delay. For instant display, set delay to 1.
- Module can be reloaded at any time, without the need of a server restart. Both message and configs are then loaded from the files.
- Module is fully customizable, indcluding colors, formatting and font size.
- Title of the window can be set as well, it accepts all currently available in game colors and formatting.
- It is possible to set everything via the in-game commands but, for best results: edit both News Message and config file in the text editor, for the ease of use of all the available formatting tags.

Requirements:
As any module of NidToolbox set, it requires nid-core version 1.0.3+ module, available in the main forum thread: here
How to install:
- Unpack .zip archive
- Copy nid-news.dll to Mods\NidToolbox\Modules
Settings files:
Config files are located at:
- Configs\Mods\NidToolbox\ServerNews.json - contains module settings.
- Configs\Mods\NidToolbox\NewsMessage.txt - contains news message.
ServerNews.json:
{
"Info1": "NidToolbox Light: Server Changelog settings.",
"WindowTitle": "<color=#add8e6><i>MyServer</i>™</color> <color=yellow>Server News</color>"
"ShowOnLogin": true,
"DisplayDelay": 1
}
ShowOnLogin - when true, Server News are displayed when player logs in. Default value - false.
WindowTitle - allows setting title for the window, accepts all kinds of formatting.
DisplayDelay - when ShowOnLogin is set to true, news will be displayed after the delay timer has elapsed. Default value: 1 - Instant.
IMPORTANT: Delay timer starts when the log in request is handed to the server NOT when the player appears in the world, so account additional 6-10 seconds for the word load.
