Learn how to share important information with players on your Veloren VPS using a welcome message or chat → Find out more
Automated server messages are a simple but effective way to share important information with your players directly in the game. You can use them to display server rules, announce events, share tips, or remind players about your Discord at regular intervals—all without any manual effort.
In this guide, you'll learn how this works on your VPS and what options are available for Veloren.

The ZapX dashboard on your VPS doesn't have a built-in feature for sending messages to your server on a schedule. So you'll need to set up recurring messages yourself, using one of these two methods:
Both methods only work if the game provides an interface for them. The next section explains what's possible with Veloren.
Veloren doesn't document a built-in feature for scheduled chat messages, and the installer doesn't set up RCON for Veloren. However, you still have these options:
Welcome message (MOTD): Veloren displays your server's welcome message to players. It's in C:\ZapX-GameServers\veloren\data\server\server_config\description.ron, in the motd field (in the block for the en language). For example, you can add your rules or Discord link:
motd: "Willkommen! Regeln und Discord: [dein Link]",
Stop the server before editing the file, then start it again using Veloren (veloren) - Start.
Manual messages: If you're in the game, you can reach all players with the chat command /world [Nachricht]. This is useful for spontaneous announcements, such as before a restart.
If you set up Veloren using the Game Server Installer, the server runs in the background under its own Windows user and automatically restarts after a crash. There isn't a console where you can enter commands. To edit files, connect using Remote Desktop and stop the server first with the Veloren (veloren) - Stop shortcut.
For Veloren, the welcome message in description.ron is the easiest way to share important information with every player. You can send spontaneous announcements in-game using /world. If you have questions or need help, our support team is here for you every day! 🙂
