Discussion in 'Inactive/Unsupported Plugins' started by RedFalKon, Jan 31, 2011.

  1. AutoMessage (Version 1.5a)

    Attention: There is currently an issue with AutoMessage v1.5a on CB Build #1185 which causes duplicate console output, in-game messages are unaffected however, this will be fixed in v1.6.

    A Simple Automatic Message plugin developed upon request from:
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tip-message.2933/

    This Plugin allows multiple messages to be broadcast serverwide at a set interval. The default time between messages is around 20 Seconds. This can be changed in the configuration file "automessages.properties".

    Installation
    1. Copy "plugins\AutoMessage.jar" to your CraftBukkit Server Plugins Directory.
    2. Copy "plugins\automessages.properties" to your CraftBukkit Server Plugins Directory.
    Commands

    • /reloadmsg - Reload the Message Configuration File (OPs Only)
    Adding Messages


    New Messages can be added by creating a new line in the properties file in the form of "msg=[message]".
    Code:
    msg=This is a Sample Message !
    Colours can now be used in messages with the $ prefix
    Code:
    msg=$cHello $eAll!
    Multiple Lines can now also be used in messages with $n

    Code:
    msg=Hello All!$nA New Line
    Colour Codes:
    Show (open)

    Black = $0
    Dark Blue = $1
    Dark Green = $2
    Dark Aqua = $3
    Dark Red= $4
    Dark Purple = $5
    Gold = $6
    Gray = $7
    Dark Grey = $8
    Blue = $9
    Green = $a

  9. Hi All,

    It's not currently possible to prevent the messages from being logged within the console as they are registered as broadcast chat events and so Craftbukkit outputs them to the log/console automatically, I'll see about changing this but it if the only solution will impact on performance (as i suspect it will, albeit minimally) I will not release it.

    As for the output only being in the console I cannot determine why exactly that could be, it does indicate that the plugin is working correctly but you may have a chat plugin which is intercepting the messages in-game and as such preventing them from being displayed to players.

    This error does not appear to be related to this plugin, the log shows the "StopTalkingAutoBan" plugin is causing problems.

    The new version will make use of the YAML markup format and should natively support all UTF-8 Characters.

    Looks like you have a spam plugin conflicting with AutoAnnouncer.

    I know you specified duplicate console output above, which seems to have been fixed somewhere after 1185 and before 1337. It no longer logs duplicate messages to the console, but it does log the messages to the console, whereas it did not in earlier builds (pre 1.8.1, maybe? I don't recall).

    I know some have called this spammy, but I rather enjoy being able to see what auto-messages the players in the server are seeing. I can then reiterate them from the console, which gets people to pay more attention to them. IE, if a message appears reminding them to vote for our server, I find I get a lot more votes if I also type a message from the console telling everyone to read the message and GO VOTE NAO.

    If you do intend on fixing what some would consider to be a bug, do you have any plans on making it a configurable option to show or hide the auto messages in the console?

    How can I write letters like ä,ö and ü? I'm from Germany so I have to write them verry often :D
     
  19. It's not actually a bug in that the game is built to output the messages to the console, there's not much I can do to prevent that since I don't control the core of the chat system. What is a "bug" however is several of the same message appearing in the console or in-game, that is a problem which can be fixed. Although it may have simply been an error in the RB, it's not that easy to tell now.

    If you refer to previous posts, I intend to change the plugin over to using the YAML format instead of the existing properties file format which will allow all UTF-8 characters (all alphabets) to be displayed in-game.

    Thanks for your interest and feedback !

    I'm loving this plugin ;D
    Is there any way you could make it say a message at a specific time of day.
    Like at dawn, midday, sunset, midnight or custom times?
    Thanks so much if you do this :)
