Info

To have your server appear in the public server list, a Pastebin ID must be set. Our guide for this can be found here: Pastebin ID. The server must be turned off for changes to take effect.

Open your server settings and check that nothing is entered under 'SCP Server Name'.

If you are sure it is empty, please navigate to the Configuration tab (raw text view) of your game server.

Now open the config_gameplay.txt by pressing the blue button.

Our config editor is now open. You can customize your server name with "server_name". Using RichText you can apply different colors.

In this example, I want "Green Text", "Blue Text", and "Red Text" to be displayed in their respective colors.

For this, you need to use the tag <color="COLOR">Your Text</color>. All available colors can be found here. It is also possible to change other attributes like size.

Info

Important: The quotation marks " " around the color in the tag are mandatory, as shown in the example above.

When you have finished your customization, save it.

Info

Restart your server, and your server name will be displayed in color.
