[INACTIVE][MECH] MessageTimer v1.3-beta3- Message Broadcaster [556+]

Current Version: 1.3-beta3.

MessageTimer allows you to send a message to all your users every x seconds of your choosing. You can also send a custom message to each group using GroupManager!

Download:

Code:

http://stmeter.org/projects/MessageTimer/MessageTimer-1.3-beta3.zip

Features:

• Custom Sentence
• Editable Intervals
• Send different messages to groups, using GroupManager

Commands:

• /globalmessage - Returns the current message

Configuration:

1. Open messagetimer.properties
2. Change seconds, to your choosing. If you want minutes, multiply the minutes you want by 60. For example if you want a message to go off every hour, make the seconds 3600
3. Change sentence to your choosing. Make sure you are using ! instead of & or § for colors

More extensive configuration is located in the properties file.

Changelog:

• Fixed for Bukkit 533+, removed unnecessary events.
• Updated for new Bukkit, code has been redone. Easier to use.
• Fixed version 1.3, Permissions is no longer supported. Use GroupManager(v1.3-beta1)
• Support for Minecraft 1.3 and Bukkit 430+(v1.3)
• Added Permissions Support. Added interval between messages(v1.2)
• Added support for multiple messages(v1.1)
• Initial Release(v1.0)

Links:

• For color codes use this.

Known Issues(New):

• When you start your server, MessageTimer disables, then reenables. Although it works fine, fix is coming soon!

Plans:
Soon, I would like to move away from using messy properties file's and use the YML format. In addition, I would like to support Permissions again as well as making the Custom Messages for each group work better.

Please report any bugs you may find. I will fix them ASAP.

 

I can add that to the next version.

Would you mind posting your properties file?

 

I actually didn't change anything from what you had. I just wanted to give it a wirl and see how it went before I started putting in my own custom messages.
But basically it says

Code:

#Properties file for MessageTimer 1.3-beta3

#In seconds, how often all Message should appear
seconds=30
#Every 30 seconds MessageTimer will print out whatever is defined in message
 
#How often each message should print
#You can have one message print, then wait a second, then print the one in the next line and so on
messageInterval=1
 
#What you want to have the server print
#Use \n for new line and !color for colors
#So if you want the color blue you can use !9
#Color codes: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Classic_Server_Protocol#Color_Codes

message=!9Hello World!\n!9You're running MessageTimer!\n
 
#Support for GroupManager
#Use this if you want to send a custom message to each group
#NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS BUGGY *TRY WITH CAUTION*
useGroupManager=false
 
#Syntax for messagesForGroups:
#GroupName@Message1\nMessage2\nMessage3\n&GroupName2@Message1\nMessage2\nMessage3
#If you want a working example, you can do something like this for Administrators and Moderators
#Admins@Make sure mods are doing their work!\n&Moderators@Remember to watch for griefers!\n

messagesPerGroup=Default@Hi Users!&Admins@Hi Admins

 

What version of CraftBukkit are you using, and do you think any of your plugins will be conflicting with it?

 

I'm using the latest (downloaded it the day I posted this) and had no plugins. This was in fact my first one.

 

Would you mind trying the recommended build instead of the latest? Here

 

I have the same problem as jminxCA and i'm running bukkit 556
What should I do???

 

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, I just tried it on a clean 556 build and it works perfectly. What plugins are you running, and have you changed the configuration? Can you post the error you get?

 

No I didn't change the configuration.

The plugins I'm using is World Guard, World Edit Homex, Spawnx and Warzones.

Here is the error I'm getting

21:03:14 [INFO] [MessageTimer] --------------->WARNING<---------------

When might the new update come out???

 

The error gives you the problem. 21:03:14 [INFO] [MessageTimer] Properties not loaded. Does your properties file
exist? Are permissions set correctly?

If you have put the files into /plugins/MessageTimer I'll take another look.

I'm shooting for an update in the next few days. I finally have a break and some time to work on it

 

Can u update this please?

 

Don't use a plus sign in the version tag. If you really need to use more versions, use [X-Y] or [X,Y].

 

considered inactive
