Inactive [INFO] FirstJoin v1.3 - Shows if a Player joined for the first time *CUSTOM QUIT&JOINMESSAGES*[1000]

First Join ​

Version: v1.3​

Shows when a Player joins the server for the first time (and more with 1.1+2!):​

​

​

The plugin is very simple. I created it for my server CreepCraft.net, because as a non-Whitelist server we have alot of new people every day.​

Because I can't be on all the time, I needed a way to show if someone joined for the first time or not.​

​

What it does:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

It replaces the default join message with what you see up there. The awesome part about this plugin is
that it requires no configuration Not anymore! Now you can configure the color AND the text for both first joined messages and regular messages! and works with any server (it looks inside the world folder to see if people have joined before) even if it has been running for a while.
Also, it uses no flatfile or ANY kind of storage, as that is not needed.

How to install it:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

IF THE WORLD IN SERVER.PROPERTIES IS NOT "WORLD", THEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE world UNDER WORLDNAME WITH THE NAME OF YOUR WORLD OR IT WILL NOT WORK!

Worldname - The name of your worldfolder, the same as inside the server.properties!

Firstjoin Message - Changes the message that is displayed when someone joins for the first time. Please notice that currently the Player name is always displayed on the left, currently you can not change that part yet, but probably later!

Join Message - Replace the default message when someone enters the server.

Leave Message - Replace the default quitmessage!


Join & FirstJoin & Quit Color - the color of the messages, look at this picture as a reference:

​

PLEASE NOTE, IT'S NOT A &, IT'S A §!

Features:

• Changes default join message on first join.
• People that already play on the server won't be told that they joined for the first time
• Configurable Joinmessages (Text & Color!)
• 1.2 Adds Configurable Quitmessages! (Text & Color)
• No flatfile/Mysql storage

Any chance I could get the source code? I want to make a fork for my server with a system to give people starter items =)

 

It might add a few configuration files but you could possibly add a different spawn point if a player hasn't joined the server before, good job on the plugin though.

 

it already has a config file that lets you set custom messages. I stopped doing stuff on bukkit but I'll try to keep this updated on major releases (even tho I'm 95% sure it wont break), for the spawn thing look at a plugin called HeroSpawn thats what I used on my server, this was simply meant to display a message

 

Oh, this is perfect...

@Pencil
Would there be a way you could add the ability to give configured items on first join? i've been looking EVERYWHERE for something like that. my server uses slimeballs as money, and i need to find a way to give people a starter kit at first login .

Thanks!

[edit]: as far as i know, there are no other plugins that do this... Or do it properly anyways.

 

Naw dude sorry :/ I would have done it if I was still actively developing, and might do later if I ever chose to come back, but for now you could use Phatloots to give out stuff to people. Just put it in an area where only the new people get to, make it a 1 time only loot

 

aww, alright. thanks for your time though

And thanks for the suggestion too! i'll have a look and see how it works!
You may have just saved me a lot of stress . +1

 

Pls, can u update this? I doesnt work:/

 

Very detailed, i'm sure it still works, you just didn't read the first post >_>

 

This is great, but is it possible to make it customizable per person? Like let's say we have a guy named joe, and a guy named bob. I want it to say
Bob has appeared!
Joe has entered!
and then have a database that allows an admin to change someones leave/join message on the fly?

 

Sorry but that would be just too much work D:

Maybe I'll add the option to assign it per group later on

 

Possible add that the joining message shows where country the player joins?
optional so u would put it on and off from config

 

Not a bad idea I would have to look into it D:

 

Uhhhh, am I the only one who doesn't know how to do that double S thing? Help please.

 

I can't do it either, just copy/paste it from the default config If you already deleted those just stop your server and delete the config folder

 

Ok thanks

 

Does this work with Bukkit build 1000?
Also, looks good, nicely done

 

Why not just try? Yes ofc it works D:

 

@Pencil right now when a player joins it only outputs his name e.g.
Infectedd
when a player leaves it's just alright. Huh

 

Try deleting the config file and let it get generated again. You might have just configured something wrong D:

 

@Pencil
Would be a nice feature to be able to customize the leave join messages to have multiple colours so some words different colours to others instead of the whole message being one colour ?
Just a suggestion would be nice.

 

I think you can do that already Just put the symbol & the color code in the actual message

 

Ah lol I should have tried that before I suggested it will give it a test when I wake up

Actually just thought of something else would it possible to change the message to if a certain user joins / leaves they have there own message ?

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

 

That would require me to store information D: Hmm, maybe ^^

 

Storing information is a good thing >.>

 

But storing information means it's not lightweight anymore ^_^

 

can you add to the join message

Saul100 Joined from [Country] ? ( for first time maybe ? )

 

Maybe I'll have to see

 

@Pencil Are you Norwegian? Since your plugin is the only one that supports the Norwegian or Danish alphabet

 

Nope, German ;D. Thats probably why it supports your characters Like öäü ?

 

No, more like ÆØÅ, I think only norway and denmark use those letters. Can you make a MOTD plugin that supports those letters? Like MCDocs.
