Tutorial Video

What is VSRO Control Color Notice & DPS Rarity?

VSRO Control Color Notice & DPS Rarity is a dual-control system that gives server administrators complete power over notice message colors and DPS Meter monster filtering. Choose between Red, Green, or Blue notice colors to match message importance, and enable/disable specific monster rarity levels (0-8) in the DPS Meter to reduce spam and focus on important targets - all with real-time application and no server restart required.

How It Works

Dual Control Panel System

  • Notice Color Section: Simple radio button selection between Red (Default), Green, and Blue
  • DPS Rarity Section: Individual toggle switches for 9 rarity levels (Rarity 0 through Rarity 8)
  • Visual Feedback: Selected options highlighted immediately with golden accents
  • Auto-Save on Change: Selecting any option automatically saves to configuration files

Real-Time Application Process

  • Click to Apply: Changes take effect the moment you select a color or toggle a rarity switch
  • Instant Update: Notice messages immediately display in the new selected color
  • DPS Filter Active: DPS Meter instantly shows/hides monsters based on enabled rarities
  • No Restart Required: All changes apply to all connected players without server or client restart

Configuration Files Updated

  • NoticeColorSettings.json: Stores selected notice color (Red/Green/Blue)
  • DPSMeter_RarityConfig.json: Stores enabled/disabled state for each rarity level
  • Auto-Backup: Previous settings backed up automatically before applying new changes
  • Persistent Settings: Configurations survive server restarts and updates

Notice Color Control

Available Color Options

  • Red (Default): High-visibility color for warnings, errors, and critical alerts - appears at top-center of screen
  • Green: Positive color for success messages, rewards, achievements, and good news - appears at top-center of screen
  • Blue: Calm color for information, announcements, tips, and general notices - appears at top-center of screen
  • Single Active Color: Only one color can be active at a time - affects all notice messages uniformly

Notice Message Display Location

  • Top-Center Position: All notice messages appear at the top-center of player's screen
  • Large Text Size: Messages use large, readable font for maximum visibility
  • Auto-Fade: Messages display for 3-5 seconds then fade out automatically
  • Message Queue: Multiple messages queue and display sequentially without overlap

Color Usage Best Practices

  • Red for Warnings: Server maintenance, errors, PVP zone warnings, death penalties, failed actions
  • Green for Rewards: Level up, quest complete, rewards received, success messages, positive events
  • Blue for Information: Server announcements, event schedules, tips, help messages, general info
  • Match Server Mood: Change color to match server events (Green for celebration, Red for serious)

DPS Meter Rarity Filter System

Monster Rarity Levels (0-8)

  • Rarity 0 (Common): White name monsters - basic mobs found everywhere, lowest threat level
  • Rarity 1 (Uncommon): Green name monsters - slightly stronger mobs with better drops
  • Rarity 2 (Rare): Blue name monsters - challenging mobs with decent rewards
  • Rarity 3 (Elite): Yellow name monsters - elite mobs with good drops and higher difficulty
  • Rarity 4 (Champion): Purple name monsters - champion-tier mobs with valuable loot
  • Rarity 5 (Unique): Orange name monsters - unique monsters with rare drops and high HP
  • Rarity 6 (Boss): Red name monsters - boss-level monsters requiring party coordination
  • Rarity 7 (Special Event): Special event monsters - limited-time spawns with exclusive rewards
  • Rarity 8 (Legendary): Rainbow name monsters - legendary bosses with ultimate rewards

DPS Meter Display Control

  • Independent Toggles: Each rarity level has its own ON/OFF switch - enable any combination
  • Real-Time Filtering: Disabling a rarity immediately hides those monsters from DPS Meter
  • Damage Tracking: Only enabled rarity levels show damage numbers and statistics
  • Combat Log Integration: Disabled rarities still record damage but don't display in meter

Filter Configuration Strategies

Professional Tips

For Server Administrators

  • Match Notice Color to Message Type: Red for warnings, Green for rewards, Blue for information
  • Test Color Changes: Try each color in-game to see which looks best for your server theme
  • Ask Players: Poll your community on which DPS rarities they want to see
  • Event Preparation: Change colors before events start to build excitement
  • Document Settings: Keep notes on which rarity filters work best for different scenarios

DPS Rarity Management

  • Start Conservative: Begin with only Rarity 5-8 enabled, add lower rarities if needed
  • Monitor Player Feedback: Ask if DPS Meter is too cluttered or missing important mobs
  • Performance Testing: If players report lag, disable lower rarities (0-3) first
  • Event-Specific Filters: Create different rarity profiles for different events
  • Seasonal Adjustments: Enable more rarities during slow periods, fewer during peak times

Troubleshooting

  • Notice Color Not Changing: Refresh X9 Filter Control Panel and check NoticeColorSettings.json
  • DPS Meter Still Showing Disabled Rarities: Ask player to relog or check DPSMeter_RarityConfig.json
  • Changes Not Saving: Verify file permissions on configuration JSON files
  • All Rarities Disabled: Enable at least one rarity level or DPS Meter will be empty
  • Color Looks Wrong: Different monitors display colors differently - test on multiple screens
