Placing SteamIDs into this folder will give players admin rights, they will be able to execute basic commands. It’s also possible to give players access to additional commands by placing additional arguments in the brackets next to their SteamID.
Accessible arguments:
[SetGodMode] Gives player access to the “#SetGodMode True/False” command, which enables or disables instant building.

[RestartServer] Gives player access to the “#RestartServer pretty please” command, which will initiate a shutdown sequence of the server.

Example of adding a user to AdminUsers.ini
76561199637135087 <- admin commands
76561199637135087[SetGodMode] <- admin commands + setgodmode
76561199637135087[SetGodMode, RestartServer] <- admin commands + setgodmode + restartserver pretty please

Notifications.json

SCUM now supports server notifications through a simple JSON file called Notifications.json. This lets you send scheduled messages to your players, such as restart warnings, reminders, or fun server tips.

Similar to the RaidTimes.json file, you must convert the local time you want to implement to UTC.

So as an example, if the notification should trigger at 12:00 and your local time zone is now Eastern Daylight Time (-4 UTC), you must set the file time to 16:00, the equivalent to noon in UTC. This website can be useful for converting time zones.

File Location

SCUM Server\SCUM\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Notifications.json

You can edit this file at any time. No server restart is required after saving changes.

File Structure

The file uses a section called “Notifications”: [ ]. Each object inside this list is one scheduled notification.

{
  "day": "Monday",
  "time": "7:00",
  "message": "Good morning survivors!"
}

Available Keys

day – When the message should appear.
- Single day: “Monday”, “Tuesday”, etc.
- Range: “Monday-Friday”
- Special: “Weekend”, “Everyday”
time – At what time(s) the message is shown.
- Single: “7:00”
- Multiple: [“15:12”, “11:14”]
- Range: “14:00-15:00” → repeats every minute in that window
duration – How long the message stays visible (in seconds).
Example: “duration”: “10”
color – The text color in RGB format (R-G-B).
Example: “255-0-0” = red
wait – Interval (in minutes) between repeats inside a time window.
Example: “wait”: “2”
message – The text players see. You can include placeholders (see below).

Placeholders

You can add these into your message text:

#NumPlayers → shows number of players online
#Date → current server date
#Time → current server time
These two cannot be combined with other placeholders or message text.
#RestartIn(HH:MM) → countdown to restart
#RestartAt(HH:MM) → restart notice at specific time

Example Official Server Notifications.json

Below are the notification settings for official servers. These notifications will remind players of upcoming restarts. 1 hour before restart. Every 15 minutes after that, until 5 minutes remain. During the last 5 minutes, notifications appear every minute:

{
  "Notifications": [
    {
      "time": [
        "3:00",
        "3:15",
        "3:30",
        "3:45",
        "3:55-4:00"
      ],
      "color": "255-180-50",
      "message": "#RestartIn(4:00)"
    },
    {
      "time": [
        "9:00",
        "9:15",
        "9:30",
        "9:45",
        "9:55-10:00"
      ],
      "color": "255-180-50",
      "message": "#RestartIn(10:00)"
    },
    {
      "time": [
        "15:00",
        "15:15",
        "15:30",
        "15:45",
        "15:55-16:00"
      ],
      "color": "255-180-50",
      "message": "#RestartIn(16:00)"
    },
    {
      "time": [
        "21:00",
        "21:15",
        "21:30",
        "21:45",
        "21:55-22:00"
      ],
      "color": "255-180-50",
      "message": "#RestartIn(22:00)"
    }
  ]
}

Tips

Always make sure your JSON syntax is valid and that the desired local time has been correctly converted to UTC.
Test with a simple message before adding multiple entries.
Use placeholders to keep your messages dynamic and useful.
