[GEN] MOTDAdvanced v1.2 - More MOTD Functionality [740]

MOTD Advanced: More MOTD Compatibility
Version: v1

This plugin is used to give each rank a different MOTD, using Permissions by TheYeti. Currently, it has hooks in permissions and can default back to op.txt if there is no permissions, and its messages for each rank can be edited in the messages file, generated after 1 run of the server with it enabled. It currently runs best on Permissions 2.5.5, the most recent version of Permissions. Special credit for this plugin goes to MadMonkeyCo and the Herocraft Coding Team.
Features:

• A seperate MOTD for each rank
• Permissions compatibility

Fixed download- and should there be my name in it?

 

People don't get that until a mod comes by, sees the plugin, approves the plugin, and gives them the Plugin dev title. :3

 

I understand what he means now

 

We're adopting Ziddia into the Herocraft coding team I hope he makes everyone proud

 

Thanks Kainzo, and I appreciate the help

Nearly finished!

Now finished it with permissions compatability and a config file!

YAY!

 

For anyone who is interested, I will be attempting to revive BlockTruansmute next!

 

Config file didn't generate just an empty folder.
please post an example so that I can create it myself.

 

Just copy and paste this file into your folder: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18856017/messages.yml

OHMYGOD IM IN PLUGIN RELEASES!

Lol! It took half an hour for this to be buried! Lol!

Why did you send me a file that has a remote desktop property?
messages.yml.rdp

 

I didn't even know it had that extension

Maybe something stuffed up in the dropbox?

I swear to you, I had no idea that it had that though. I'll fix it now.

It comes out as a yml to me...

What OS are you using? I've only tested it on Windows 7, I don't know what would have happened there...

And, I'm not entirely sure that the config file is working, I'll ask MadMonkey how to use it again, I must have done something wrong (He helped me set up the config file)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

OSX Snow Leopard

 

It comes out as a .yml, unless he changed it. I know why the code doesn't work on Linux and I fixed that problem in all my other codes. I'll contact Ziddia and tell him how to fix it.

 

Thanks

OK, fixed it up. To configure it to give your group "admins" a special MOTD, you would have it like this:

admins=(Your message here)

Fixed, I think.

could i have a default template for the config? mine wont generate, probably because my server is servercrafts

 

okay, give me a sec

This should do it:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18856017/messages.yml

Just add on each line the name of your group=your MOTD

EG- Admins=You are an admin!

Thanks I will test later
Keep up the great work.

 

Thanks, I am making a spells plugin as we speak

 

How many lines of text for each moto are available
Is it a /motd command call
Example of permissions entry would be nice
Thanks

Fixed working well good job : )

Thanks, take a look at my sig for my other plugins, im also making a spells plugin right now for Herocraft

Stay tuned

 

Greetings, and thanks for sharing this!

1. Does this plugin allow usage of the hexadecimal-based color codes?
2. What is the character limit per message - can there be multiple lines?
3. Where is the messages.yml file to be placed - should I make a folder named MOTDAdvanced in plugins?

I love how simple the messages.yml syntax is.

Code:

admins=(Your message here)

 

Ok, answer time.

1. I plan this for a future version (if I get around to making one) but it would require hooks into iChat or herochat which I can't do right now.
2. I'm pretty sure it should be able to be larger than a line, correct me if I'm wrong
3. It should generate folder and file on first run. If not, tell me and I'll add the file and folder to the main download.

Thanks for the interest!
Ziddia

 

All your properties file generates is

Maybe you should put some instructions...

 

21:32:43 [INFO] MOTDAdvanced version 1.0 is enabled!
21:32:43 [SEVERE] Nag author: '<NoAuthorGiven>' of 'MOTDAdvanced' about the following: onPluginEnable has been replaced with a new signature, (PluginEnableEvent)


You should fix this.

Thanks for the work.

Yeah, what am I supposed to do with
"#Minecraft Properties File

?!?

 

617 version please?

 

Will be doing this now. Updating ASAP

Fix is now available for 617, it comes with a default messages.yml for you to read over. It works perfectly btw.

How it works is, under the stuff which has hashes before it, you put your ranks and messages like this:

You don't need the quotation marks around your message, but I believe that the ranks are case sensitive.
