    Why do I get an error when I put portal.gif in the place of IMAGE and how does it know where to look for portal.gif?

    Is it possible to use the animated messages for lores?

    Yes, it is. You just need to create a runnable which will update the lore in the item every few ticks by setting the lore to the next frame of the AnimatedMessage

    I hope you can help me, I used this method to make my menus

    Code:java
    1. if (num == 1) {
    2. inv.setItem(12, createItem(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD, 1, (short) 0, "ItemName", "ItemLore"));

    This is to create the item in an inventory space, attach the name and lore

    Code:java
    1. public ItemStack createItem(Material material, int amount, short shrt, String displayname, String lore) {
    2. ItemStack i = new ItemStack(material, amount, (short) shrt);
    3. ItemMeta im = i.getItemMeta();
    4. im.setDisplayName(displayname);
    5.  
    6. ArrayList<String> loreList = new ArrayList<String>();
    7. String[] lores = lore.split("/");
    8. loreList.addAll(Arrays.asList(lores));
    9.  
    10. im.setLore(loreList);
    11. i.setItemMeta(im);
    12. return i;
    13. }

    And this is to add the description and to use my metode, I think this is what I have to change.
    My question is:
    I have to change or add to add a gif image as lore?

    @bobacadodl
    You can help me?

    You have to change the lore. If you add lore, that will just add more lines of the lore text..

    Youre already setting lore in your createItem method... I'm not sure what you're asking

    Ok, I use this method to create menus, my question is, How can I add a picture ".gif" as lore for one item?, Could you show me an example code?

    bobacadodl

    I dont have time to type up an example right now, but this is how it would work..
    1. create the inventory object with Bukkit.createInventory();
    2. create a new AnimatedMessage object, that has the gif
    3. set an item into the inventory
    4. Start a new bukkitRunnable that keeps updating the item in the inventory object and setting its lore to the next frame of the AnimatedMessage

    5. final int num = 1;
    6. getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,this);
    7.  
    8. inv = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9, "<<Example>>");
    9.  
    10. Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
    11.  
    12. public void run() {
    13. if (num == 1) {
    14. inv.setItem(8, createItem(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1, (short) 0, "Example", "Example"));

    25. ItemStack i = new ItemStack(material, amount, (short) shrt);
    26. ItemMeta im = i.getItemMeta();
    27. im.setDisplayName(displayname);
    28.

    To the people who are having issues at least where to put the image so it all works correctly you just drag and drop it. So as you can see his 3 files are located next to my main under my folder. And the img itself is at the bottom where you put your plugin.yml. Hope this helps those who are confused.
    [​IMG]
    So on eclipse you just drag the img file onto the Project

    and here's the static method that was on the github i used and it worked
    Code:java
    1. package com.paulreitz.mobmessagemain;
    2.  
    3. import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    4. import java.io.IOException;
    5.  
    6. import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
    7.  
    8. import org.bukkit.command.Command;
    9. import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
    10. import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
    11. import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
    12. import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
    13. import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
    14. import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
    15. import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
    16.  
    17. public class Mobmessagemain extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    18.  
    19.  
    20. public void onEnable()
    21. {
    22. getLogger().info("Mob Message Enabled");
    23. getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    24. }
    25. public void onDisable()
    26. {
    27.  
    28. }
    29. @EventHandler
    30. public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) throws IOException {
    31. BufferedImage imageToSend = ImageIO.read(this.getResource("creepermap.png"));
    32. new ImageMessage(
    33. imageToSend, // the bufferedimage to send
    34. 8, // the image height
    35. ImageChar.MEDIUM_SHADE.getChar() // the character that the image is made of
    36. ).appendText(
    37. "",
    38. "",
    39. "",
    40. "Thatssss a",
    41. "niccceee house",
    42. "you've got there"
    43. ).sendToPlayer(event.getPlayer());
    44. }
    45. }

    2. List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
    3. String[] gif = message.next().getLines(); //Error is on this line.
    4. for (String loreadd : gif){
    5. lore.add(loreadd);
    6. }

    This works great, the only problem is with converting player skins. Out of the 8 or so I've tried a good 3/4 of them are ruined because of gray or white when they clearly should be a different color.

    Examples:
    http://prntscr.com/3e3fk6 (In Game)
    http://prntscr.com/3e3fuq (How it actually is)

    I know its like this because of the limitations of the minecraft chat colors, so sadly theres probably no fix :(

    This is the greatest thing ever (Thanks, @bobacadodl !). time to combine Plo124 's IPUtil with this. Now... lets animate what happens when Jimmy doesn't get out of the house...


    A tornado is nearby
    uh oh.
    █ And fire o.o

    █ You should get out.

    Nao.

    Is it also possible to simply return an ArrayList? To make the Images as a Lore of an Item?

    Something like this?
    Code:java
    1. public List<String> getLines(File file) {
    2. BufferedImage image = null;
    3. try {
    4. image = ImageIO.read(new File(this.getDataFolder() + File.separator + file)); //or whatever location of the file
    5. } catch (IOException e) {
    6. e.printStackTrace();
    7. }
    8. ImageMessage message = new ImageMessage(image, image.getHeight(), ImageChar.BLOCK.getChar());
    9. return Arrays.asList(message.getLines());
    10. }
