To modify your PingPerfect SCUM server notifications it is very easy, simply follow the steps below.
- In your control panel click Configuration Files
- Modify the Notifications.json file using the Text Editor
- Default file structure:
{ "Notifications": [ { "day": "Everyday", "wait": "15", "message": "Welcome to another PingPerfect.com server!" } ] } - Example of creating a new notification that would send a small test message between 3:00PM and 9:00PM, Monday to Friday, that stays on screen for 60 seconds:
{ "Notifications": [ { "day": "Everyday", "wait": "15", "message": "Welcome to another PingPerfect.com server!" }, { "day": "Monday-Friday", "time": "15:00-21:00", "duration": "60", "message": "This is a test message" } ] }
Things to note:
- You do not need to restart the server in order to apply these changes.
- Any times used are often based on the location of your server, for example a server in New York would be EST time zone - you should test this during configuration to be sure.
- As a JSON formatted file it is extremely sensitive to correct syntax formatting, a small mistake will mean that the entire file does not work. You can use a validation site such as https://jsonlint.com/ to detect any formatting errors.
