In the server's Wipes page, open the Discord tab. Add up to 10 announcements, from a preset (1 hour before, Wipe starting, Just wiped) or blank.
To post them by hand instead, see Rust wipe announcements on Discord, and build one with the free Discord Wipe Announcement Builder.
Each announcement
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| When | From 24 h before to the wipe time, or right after up to 24 h after |
| Channel | The Wipe Announcements webhook of the Notifications page (posted only while that card is switched on), or the webhook of another channel |
| Mention | Nobody, @everyone, @here or roles (role IDs) |
| Content | Title, message, color, footer, server logo |
| Fields | When, wipe type, connect command, map link, next wipe, website, plus your own fields (for example a countdown channel) |
| Map image | After the wipe: the new map rendered by your server, sent with the message |
Variables: {server}, {type}, {time} and {countdown} (shown in each reader's time zone), {connect}, {map}, {next_wipe}, {website}.
The preview shows the message as Discord will. Send a test posts it now: pick your staff channel (the Server Alerts card) to check it in private, or the real channel, where everyone who can read it sees the test. A test pings nobody (mentions show as text) and its title starts with [Test].
When they are sent
- Before messages follow the wipes planned by the auto-wipe system (nothing is sent while an approval is missing).
- After messages go out when the auto-wipe system finishes a wipe, and also when your host wipes the server (Servycore sees the new world within a few minutes).
- A message with the map image waits up to 10 minutes for the image. A message whose time passed more than 15 minutes ago is not sent.
Each wipe in Past wipes shows which messages were sent.
The other Discord cards of the Control Center
On Panel > Your Project > Notifications, each card has its own webhook and says who it is for. Staff only cards show confidential information (player identities, reporters, failure reasons): give them a channel only your staff can read. Public cards are made for your players.
| Card | For | What it posts |
|---|---|---|
| Server Alerts | Staff only | Server offline or back, unexpected restarts, RCON password refused, plugin errors, wipes detected, done or failed (with the reason) |
| Moderation Alerts | Staff only | F7 reports, banned players refused, flagged chat, staff actions (mod-log) |
| Wipe Announcements | Public | The default channel of the announcements above |
| Live Server Status | Public | One message kept up to date every 5 minutes: each server online or not, players, queue, map, next wipe and connect command |
| Kill Feed | Public | PvP kills sent by the Servycore Leaderboard plugin, posted once a minute per server: killer, victim, weapon, distance and headshots (only kills made after you turn it on) |
Pick the events the Server and Moderation cards send. A planned restart is never alerted.
