Broadcasts

Broadcasts are automatic messages. Zentrix sends them on a timer.

Use them for tips, reminders, rules, and calls-to-action. They reduce staff spam.

Who sees broadcasts

Broadcasts are state-aware. Players only see messages for their current state.

Typical states are lobby, waiting, and playing. This keeps messages relevant.

Display modes

• Chat broadcasts send one or more chat lines.

• Title broadcasts show centered text on screen.

Use titles sparingly. They can interrupt combat and looting.

Formatting support

Broadcast text supports:

• Hex colors (&#RRGGBB)

• Legacy colors (&7, &l)

• Empty lines for spacing

• Unicode symbols

Operational tips

Keep intervals reasonable. Fast timers can flood chat.

Avoid aggressive broadcast frequency during PLAYING. Combat chat is busy.

Configuration

All timings, state targeting, and message content live in broadcasts.yml.
