Posted Feb 16, 2012I am using PermissionsEx (latest) and latest Announcer;
If i reload my server, the next scheduled announce seems to give this error: http://pastebin.com/ddsLeq4y
Is this a PEX issue or Announcer issue? Anything i can do?

Posted Feb 13, 2012Is it possible to add a plugin-reload command? Server reloading (/reload) is strongly discouraged and restarting a server that is populated most of the time isn't something one would like to do when often updating announcements.
Thank you for creating this useful and handy plugin! ;)

Posted Feb 11, 2012there are no checks...
it's a simple task that's called every X ticks (1 second = 20 ticks).
it prints the message and changes the index to the next message.

Posted Feb 11, 2012Very nice. Is this known to cause lag, as it constantly checks to say a message or not?

Posted Feb 9, 2012Problem! I installed this on my server, and whenever I try to use /announce, it tells me that the announcement was not found.
I tried it on a clean server and it worked fine, both are running the latest recommended CB.
Plugins on the other server:
- AntiCreeper
- BuyCraft
- CommandBin
- Dynmap
- Factions
- Hawkeye
- HeroChat
- Heroes
- iConomy
- Jobs
- JackBeNimble (Anti-falldamage plugin)
- PEX
- Register
- Vault
- WorldEdit
Are there any known clashes? And if so, are any of these clashing with the plugin? I'll try adding each plugin individually on the clean server and testing, and I'll edit this post if I find out which plugin is clashing.

I'll release a view plugins today.
the new version of announcer will stays disabled when no players are online, so that should solve your problem. hiding the log entry is not possible for me as CraftBukkit does this automaticly.

Posted Feb 5, 2012I love this plugin, yet the server I run only has 5 members, so when I leave it on overnight (its 24/7), the server log gets spammed with announcements... Could you please (if possible) create a function to hide announcements from the log? If not (I understand it's hard making plugins), could someone tell me if they know how to hide the announcements?
Thanks in advance, Zolacolor
