To answer questions that came up in-game about creating an MC2 news server, here is a complete .php script that you can use as a news server endpoint. Should be enough to get you started and you can customize it from there as you see fit.

<?php 

    header("access-control-allow-origin: *");

    header("access-control-allow-headers: Content-Type");



    $json = file_get_contents('php://input');

    $data = json_decode($json);



    if($data == null || $data == false || !property_exists($data, "req")) {

        exit();

    }



    $requestId = $data->req;



    if($requestId == "networkinfo") {

        $resData = new stdClass();



        $resData->networkName = "My News Network";

        $resData->networkNameShort = "MNN";

        $resData->logoBackground = "#ff0000";

        $resData->logoText = "#00ff00";

        $resData->logoStroke = "#000000";



        $resData->taglines = array();



        $resData->taglines[] = "My News Network - It's Good Stuff!";

        $resData->taglines[] = "You are watching My News Network!";



        $cannedResponses = new stdClass();



        $cannedResponses->healthcrisis = array();

        $cannedResponses->healthcrisis[] = "put your news headline here 1";



        $cannedResponses->techunlock = array();

        $cannedResponses->techunlock[] = "put your news headline here 1";



        $cannedResponses->highunemp = array();

        $cannedResponses->highunemp[] = "put your news headline here 1";

        $cannedResponses->highunemp[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $cannedResponses->ollargestsettlement = array();

        $cannedResponses->ollargestsettlement[] = "put your news headline here";

        $cannedResponses->ollargestsettlement[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $cannedResponses->starvation = array();

        $cannedResponses->starvation[] = "put your news headline here";

        $cannedResponses->starvation[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $cannedResponses->lowapproval = array();

        $cannedResponses->lowapproval[] = "put your news headline here";



        $cannedResponses->lowsecurity = array();

        $cannedResponses->lowsecurity[] = "put your news headline here";

        $cannedResponses->lowsecurity[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $cannedResponses->lowentertainment = array();

        $cannedResponses->lowentertainment[]  = "put your news headline here";

        $cannedResponses->lowentertainment[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $cannedResponses->loweducation = array();

        $cannedResponses->loweducation[]  = "put your news headline here";

        $cannedResponses->loweducation[] = "put your news headline here 2";



        $resData->responses = $cannedResponses;



        echo json_encode($resData);

    }

?>

This should be enough information to get a PHP script up and running. You need an https endpoint, you can get a free ssl cert using certbot. For a list of all of the variables that the news headline responses accept, see this thread.

Note that I did not run this code first to see if it works, so there might be typos or syntax errors, so just use your brain while implementing!

Hope that helps!
