This is for template.txt, NOT template.dat, you can learn about that on the prior page.

Open the root directory of the mod and find the ..\Among Us\TOHE-DATA\template.txt file to get started! You can see that there are some words in the file, such as welcome, onMeeting, and other gibberish.

• welcome:exampleMessage - this is the message that will be sent when other players enter your lobby.
• onMeeting:exampleMessage - this is the message that will be sent when each meeting starts.
• onFirstMeeting:exampleMessage - this is just like onMeeting, but the message sent here will only be sent on the first meeting. Any meetings after will prioritize onMeeting.

You can edit these templates, or add your own on new-lines!

To add your own templates, you can either follow the text below, or use the Template Editor.
On a new-line, you want to add your trigger word and your message. Such as: example:this is an example template! (The trigger word being example and the message being this is an example template!. (YOU NEED THE :!)) You can add as many of these as you want. You can then save the file, boot up the mod, and run /t example in your chat box to see if it's set up to your liking!
If you create copies of the trigger word on new-lines, it will send them in seperate messages. Here's an example:

Alternatively, you may also use this Template Editor put together by one of TOHE's Contributors, Drakos.

There is a Tutorial at the bottom of the Template Editor's page if you need it. If you do not want to watch it, here's a small guide about how to use it.

1. Enter a Title for the template. This title will be displayed at the top of the template when it's activated in game. Here's what the title will look like by default:
2. Enter in what you want the template to display. You can edit the Font Size & Text Colors, but it is recommended to do it last. (From: Drakos)
3. Enter in the name for this template. This name will also be the trigger word for this template. [example]:this is an example template! ([example] being the name/trigger word)
4. Click the "Copy as HTML Formatted" to copy your template to your clipboard.
5. Locate ..\Among Us\TOHE-DATA\template.txt and paste your new template on a new-line.
6. You can then save the file [[Ctrl] + [S]], boot up the mod, and run /t [example] in your chat box to see if it's set up to your liking!

The Template Editor is only 1 of the many Utilities by Drakos which are on this Among Us Utilities page. You can find a Welcome Message Guide, Pixel Art Editor, & Gallery.

You can visit Resources to view Variables, Text Formatting Tags, Usable Fonts/Symbols, & more that will assist you in customizing your best lobbies!
