How to add text

Each tab on your welcome panel has it's own object which contains not only text lines but also additional pages, some visual options etc. To start adding text follow this route in your config file: WelcomePanel.json ➞ "Text Tabs" ➞ {Text Tab Object} ➞ "Text Lines".

{
    "Text Lines": [
      [
        "My text line number 1",
        "My text line number 2",
        "My text line number 3"
      ]
    ]
  }

It's crucial to not delete any brackets or miss any comma otherwise it will result in config error. I recommend using some kind of json text editor which will highlight basic mistakes for you, for example Visual Studio Code (online, no download needed).

Adding multiple pages

Adding another page is done but inserting another array with text into "Text Lines" section. Please pay attetion to square brackets and commas. You can add unlimited amount of pages by following same pattern as in example bellow.

{
    "Text Lines": 
    [
        [
            "My text lines at page 1",
            "My text lines at page 1"
        ],
        [
            "My text lines at page 2",
            "My text lines at page 2"
        ],
        [
            "My text lines at page 3",
            "My text lines at page 3"
        ]
    ]
}

Text Styling

Text in Rust plugins can be styled with standard rich text tags, it's similar to HTML. Every tag must be closed at the end of text line, otherwise none of the tags will work and they will be shown as regular text. If you ever encounter this issue, please do not reach out to support for help but make sure you double check your text lines instead.

"Text Lines": [
    [
      "<size=45><color=#4A95CC>RUSTSERVERNAME</color> #4 {playername}</size> ",
      "<size=25>WIPE SCHEDULE <color=#83b8c7>WEEKLY</color> @ <color=#83b8c7>4:00PM</color> (CET)</size>",
      "\\n \\n",
      "<size=25>RATES <color=#83b8c7>2x GATHER</color> | <color=#83b8c7>1.5x LOOT</color></size> ",
      "<size=25>GROUP LIMIT <color=#83b8c7>MAX 5</color></size>",
      "<size=25>MAPSIZE <color=#83b8c7>3500</color></size> "
    ]
],
