Server Description - How to add a line feed

[McTschegsn]

Good morning,

 

maybe a stupid question - sorry for that.

I do not get the server description to work properly

 

Running a dedicated server which is doing fine.

 

When editing the file serversettings.lua there is a line called description which is -obviously ;)- for the server description.

 

When entering a single line, it works fine. As soon as I add a line feed (tried several Strings like \r for example) the server won't load properly and the server settings are ignored completely as it is trying to use the standard port etc.

 

What do I do wrong here? What string is used for a linefeed to work properly?

 

I am editing with notepad++

 

Thank you guys for a quick heads up.

In lua, the easiest way to enter formatted text (a.k.a. raw text) is by using double brackets.

 

 

Example :

 

 

local myLongString = [[This is a very
long string with some weird characters \\ \ \\\ 

and a few carriage returns]]

 

 

This will put the following text in myLongString :

This is a very
long string with some weird characters \\ \ \\\ 

and a few carriage returns

Will try that out. Thank you very much.
