TextRoots - Providing textual basics Download v0.4.1 [#1240] 0.4 [#677-1185] TextRoots has been made for a nearly-vanilla server to provide some of the most basical textual features. At the moment it gives you the ability to welcome your players with a custom message, show them a list of players, which are online at the moment and let your users read the rules. A command to refresh the messagefiles' content is also onboard! There are sample configuration files within the download package. Features: Customizable welcome message as you join /welcome command to repeat /list|online command to show list of online players /rules command to display all rules /textroots command to refresh both messages 4 variables for use in every command Colourcodes support (use ampersand (&)) Upcoming: Reading from random text files like e.g. > /read news < (showing content of news.txt) Modifying those files like e.g. > /mod news 5 "new line content" < (changing line 5 of news.txt) You got an idea for an addition that would fit? Post it! Available variables: You can use them for both files #name# - Player's name #num# - Number of online players #max# - Number of maximum online players #list# - Shows all online players seperated by commas Sample configurations (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Sample configurations (open) Sample configurations (close) Code: &1================================ Hey there &6#name#! &1================================ Now playin' (#num#/#max#): #list# &1================================ Code: &4Online: &f#list# Changelog (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Changelog (open) Changelog (close) Version 0.4.1 - 2011/10/04 Updated (now for CraftBukkit #1240 or newer) Version 0.4 - 2011/04/14 Updated (now for CraftBukkit #677 or newer) Version 0.3 - 2011/04/11 Fixed colour codes (changed from § to &) Version 0.2 - 2011/04/11 Added /rules General fix for command-call from console Taking care of http://bit.ly/fMhMfr now Using /online as alias for /list instead of own execute command Version 0.1 - 2011/04/10 Initial release
Hi fellow plugin developer I am sad that nobody is interested yet, or responding. I would like to use this to get rid of the essentials message. For this, I got a few suggestions, where I do not know if they are easy to do or not. First of all, I would like to be able to give a lot more informations, not only a welcome message but also rules, news and reading out from a text file, but that can be additional and custom. basically, what I miss in a lot of other text/welcome plugins is the customizablity. You can change preset commands which appear either by command or on start. that should be a bit more custom. Like: adding a config looking like this:
Nice and simple, that's how I like wellcome messages! I will switch my server to your plugin and test a little bit
I like this plugin, i got tired with the default Messages. But this one i like, but can u Implement colorcodes with the &, because i only use that from my Classic Times Wonderful Plugin: Keep work!
@MisanthropX I don't know yet if it's possible to create custom commands out of a configuration file, but just reading out textfiles like /read (filename) (e.g. /read news, what will show contents of the news.txt file) should be possible. Writing into them with (/mod news 5 "new line content"). I'll have a look at that for next versions, don't expect thing too fast. This is my first plugin and Java experience at all @ShockBuddy You can apply colours with the use of § . Or do you want to use explicitly the ampersand? Why? Done in v0.3! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here are my 2 updates... Download link in first post has been changed. Changes: Version 0.3 - 2011/04/11 Fixed colour codes (changed from § to &) Version 0.2 - 2011/04/11 Added /rules General fix for command-call from console Taking care of http://bit.ly/fMhMfr now Using /online as alias for /list instead of own execute command
Again, I updated the file for the latest recommended build of CraftBukkit 677. No new features anyway.
I really like this plugin; I use it on my own server, but would it be possible to add some kind of Multi-World feature? Something like, getting a different message when spawning/teleporting/logging into different worlds? That'd be nice. And I'm sure you'd be the first to do so, as I didn't see any others with that feature. If this is stupid, or otherwise impossible, sorry; I don't know much about how plugins are programed.
Does this plugin work with Bukkit #818? If not, I would love to have it updated, however I understand if you do't want to... But seems like a good idea!
Works as a charm with latest recommended build! No problems noticed. Thanks for notifying, updating the title now.
Here you go, version 0.4.1 - just updated my build of bukkit and recompiled the file. Really happy that the old version worked since #670 with every CraftBukkit build New download in first post; if you have any wishes or requests just post them!
