## Applying changes

With `auto-reload: true` (default), changes are applied a few seconds after you save a file. The game that is running is not stopped.

You can also use `/rncg reload` (it stops the running game).

## Text format

Every text accepts:

* **MiniMessage**: `<green>`, `<#ff8800>`, `<gradient:#ff8800:#00ccff>`, `<bold>`, `<click:...>`, `<hover:...>`
* **Legacy codes**: `&a`, `&l`, `&r` and hex colors `&#ff8800`

Both can be mixed in the same line. Start a line with `<center>` to center it in the chat.

{% hint style="warning" %}
YAML files need spaces, never tabs. When a text has a `'`, write it twice: `'Time''s up!'`.
{% endhint %}

## About data/database.db-wal and -shm

SQLite keeps recent changes in `database.db-wal` (and an index in `database.db-shm`) and moves them into `database.db` from time to time. They are normal. Do not delete them while the server is running. To back up the stats, stop the server and copy `database.db`, or copy the three files together.
