How To Set An MOTD On Your Squad Server

The message of the day is shown to players when they join your Squad server, making it the ideal place to describe your community and list your server rules.

Editing Your Squad MOTD

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Navigate to SquadGame/ServerConfig/ and open MOTD.cfg. If it isn't there, create a new file named MOTD.cfg, in capital letters.
  4. 4
    Write your message, then click save.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Lines don't wrap in-game, so keep each line short and press Enter to start a new one.

MOTD Formatting

You can highlight text in yellow by wrapping it in an <a> tag, or add a link with href:

<a>Welcome to our Squad server!</a>
Rules: play the objective and use your microphone.
