SCUM servers can now send automated messages using Notifications.json. Use it for restart warnings, reminders, or server tips.
File path:/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Notifications.json
if the Notifications.json doesnt exist yet in your Files, create it:
Click on “New File” and write your Notification in (you can change later) so the file will get created
Name the file correctly!! Notifications.json
You will then See the file is created in
SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/
You are ready to paste your Notifications in this file! Make sure to check if the json is valid, you can use this website for it: https://jsonlint.com/
save the file and restart the server, now all should be displayed at the given times!
