Example Configuration

{
  "GlobalIntervalSeconds": 0,
  "Messages": [
    {
      "Message": "<b><color:#FFD700>Server Notice</color></b> <color:#A8D8FF>Automatic messages are active.</color>",
      "IntervalSeconds": 300
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#7CFF7C>Formatting:</color> Use <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> and <m>monospace</m> text in your broadcasts.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 420
    },
    {
      "Message": "<b><color:#FF6B6B>Nested style example:</color></b> <b><color:#FFAA00>This text is bold and colored.</color></b>",
      "IntervalSeconds": 540
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#B388FF>Command tip:</color> Open your help menu with <m>/help</m> or check server commands in chat.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 660
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#66E3FF>Community:</color> Join us here: <link:https://discord.gg/your-server>Discord</link>",
      "IntervalSeconds": 780
    },
    {
      "Message": "<b><color:#00FFAA>Admin info:</color></b> Set <m>GlobalIntervalSeconds</m> above 0 to rotate all messages with one shared timer.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 900
    }
  ]
}

Global Interval Mode

Set GlobalIntervalSeconds to a value greater than 0 to send all messages with one shared timer in round-robin order.

Example:

{
  "GlobalIntervalSeconds": 300
}

When global interval mode is enabled, each message's IntervalSeconds value is ignored.

Individual Interval Mode

Set GlobalIntervalSeconds to 0 to use individual intervals for every message.

Example:

{
  "GlobalIntervalSeconds": 0
}

In this mode, every message uses its own IntervalSeconds value.

Notes

Use /servermessages reload after editing the config.
No server restart is required after config changes.
Make sure your JSON file is valid.
Replace the example Discord invite link with your own server invite.
