looks good but i believe there is a plugin that does exactly the same: automessage (or is it autocast?)
@Zectric Thanks, I also never heard of that plugin. I'm working on more features, hopefully there will be an update soon.
Version 0.2 Added Economy Support - Users can now bid with iConomy money for there message to be broadcasted. Whoever has the highest bid wins Fixed Some Threading Issues New Command: /bsend [Message] [Amount] New Options In The config.yml file: useiConomy - Set To False By Default, bidtime - Set to seven minutes by default, After the time period elaspes, it will check what the highest bid is, and use that message. New Premission: ServerMessenger.Messages.Bid - Allows the user to use the economy support, Set to true by default Fixed Console Spamming Bug Note: If you see this while running version 0.2 in the console: Code: 11:38:17 [SEVERE] Exception in thread "Thread-17" 11:38:17 [SEVERE] java.lang.NullPointerException 11:38:17 [SEVERE] at com.jca2323.RandomServerMessenger.BidBroadcast.run(Bi dBroadcast.java:27) 11:38:17 [SEVERE] at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) It's error that will be fixed in 0.3. It happens when nobody bids and the list is empty. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
@thedragon_hunter, Looking into that now. Also, A config example is on the post. ServerMessenger Is Now On BukkitDev! http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/servermsg/ EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Looks pretty useful, though I would like to see those messages stand out in the chat, so I am gonna wait till you implement color (code) support. Other than that seems nice
The config file is blank. You might want to fix this. When the config file is blank and you have a ton of messages, it repeatedly sends messages (until the server crashes) until you configure it like you quoted above.
@sinistershades, I fixed that in 0.2. Did you download the one from BukkitDev? EDIT: Updated the file on dropbox, Should be 0.2
Although this mentions color support, it does not seem to provide it, nor do you provide how to use it. Ive tried &a and $a and &AQUA etc, but none are working. Please can you provide some info on the Color Support that is meant to be incuded??
I like the idea behind this plugin, but i'm looking for an auto announcer with some more flesh on it's bones. For instance, i'd like seperate announcements per permission group, or even users. Like our guests can use some auto announcement giving tips and rules, and our members announcement for events and news. Moderators aren't in need of these announcements so they shouldn't get spammed by them. etc. I'm really hoping you would consider adding support for permissions and perhaps random messages.
Ok, Since I'm back for a little while, I've decided to update the plugin! Changelog: Version 0.3 Updated to Bukkit 1.1-R4 Added update checking ##Bleeding, not tested## Color support FIXED CONFIG.YML Updated to the latest iConomy. (Optional)
BroadcastTime : 300000 //The Default is 300000, That's five minutes in miliseconds useiConomy : false //The Default is false, Set this to true if you want to allow users to bid. bidtime : 420000 //The default is seven minutes (420000) This is the time period that users bid before it is over First try regenerating your config.yml file, by deleting it and start the server.
