Update your server name

01What it does

It is not a separate item in the admin list. Open Server Information, then the Update your server name tab on that page. You type the name the way you want it to read, then color the letters. The page builds one colored-name string you can copy, or you can send it straight to your server with Install on Server.

02Coloring the letters

• Type the name in the box. The letters appear underneath as buttons.
• Drag from the first letter of a color to the last letter. You can also type the start and end letter numbers.
• Pick a color with the hex picker, or type a hex code, then press Paint selection. That stretch keeps that color, and the next color begins on the following letter.
• Spaces stay as spaces, so the words still read normally.
• Clear colors puts the name back to plain white.

03Gradient

The gradient picker takes three colors: a start, a middle and an end. Press Make it gradient and Surge fades those colors across the letters you selected, one step per letter. Drag a shorter range first if you only want the fade on part of the name.

Surge, Gold and Ember are ready-made fades if you want a starting point. You can still change the three colors after you pick one.

04Copy or install

The preview shows the name the way players will read it. Under that is the colored name as one string. Copy puts that string on your clipboard.

• Install on Server asks you to confirm, then updates the live server name.
• It only counts as done after your server reports the name changed. If the server is offline, you'll be asked to try again once it's back.
• Names can be up to 200 characters. Quotes, backslashes and line breaks are left out so the name stays in one piece.
• This is free on every server.
