=== Getting started ===
If you wish to use the Message of the Day feature, you need the following:
:- In the server's configuration file (see [[Dedicated Servers]]), set "bDisplayIntroMessage" to '''true'''.
:- In ''Game/Config'' add a new folder called '''Server''', in which you must create a file named '''MessageOfTheDay.txt'''.
<br>
''You are now ready to write the desired message of the day.''

=== Formatting the text file ===
Note: ''Currently, only very few formats are supported. More will be added with time based on demand.''

If you wish to keep the default formatting, there is nothing but text to write. If you wish to use different colors and text styles, you will need to use formatting.

;Available formats are as following:
:- Red ''writing <red>This text is red!</> will appear red.''
:- Green ''writing <green>This text is green!</> will appear green.''
:- Outlined Green ''writing <green_outlined>This text is green AND outlined!</> will appear green and outlined.''
:- Blue ''writing <blue>This text is blue!</> will appear blue.''
:- Outlined Blue ''writing <blue_outlined>This text is green AND outlined!</> will appear blue and outlined.''
:- More to come.

'''Every format must be gated between < and > and the format must be closed with </> as following <''Text format''>This is my formatted text</>''''
