AutoCast
AutoCast is now using Java 6!
What is AutoCast?
Well, AutoCast is a plugin developed by OperationVOID, lead by CorruptEntity. AutoCast is a plugin that broadcasts any message at any desired interval. It can have 1-10000000 or more messages. The broadcasts can be any color, or even bold, italic, underscore, and Cross-through. Simply just add the code for it in the messages.txt, and it is there. AutoCast is used by thousands of servers worldwide! Even execute commands through AutoCast!Commands:
/autocast - toggles the plugin on and offFeatures:
Choose your broadcast name. Choose your broadcasting speed. Change the color of your Broadcast. Have your broadcast Bold, Italic, Underscore, or Cross-through. Execute commands through broadcasting. Have unlimited diffrent broadcasts. More to come!How to install:
1. Download AutoCast.jar and put it in your plugins folder. 2. Edit the config.yml and messages.txt or whatever your global messages file is to the way you like! 3. Run your server!Color Codes/Text Modifiers
Warnings:
When updating, remember to backup and remove your configuration file before updating. Without doing this, your Bukkit would bug out and the plugin would crash. Remeber NEVER EVER EVER EVER have a extra line on your messages.txt . If you save an extra line, you will get some errors and the plugin would crash. It is reccomended to use the version of the plugin that is made for your version of bukkit. If you are getting a major.minor error, that means AutoCast is using a newer version of Java then you. Simply update Java on your host.FAQ:
Q: When I edit the file it creates lots of errors. Why?
A: Make Sure your messages.txt does not have an extra and unused line, and make sure you are using the newest version of Java.Q: Whe I start this plugin for the first time, I get lots of errors. Why is this?
A: When you start the plugin for the first time, Bukkit generates messages.txt then tries to run it, but it is empty. If it is empty it does not know what to broadcast. Simply stop the server, edit it to how you like, and restart the server.Q: How do i remove text formatting like bold, italic, etc?
A: Use the reset code, which is &r. This removes all colors too.Team Members

Its because they don't want to compile in JRE 6... Im assuming you use Mac, these devs probably won't compile in JRE 6 which would fix your problem so i would try another broadcasting plugin.

Posted Jun 22, 2012I dont understand why there is a lot of crap in the description about who owns the plugin and the dev stuff. Thats cool and all but id rather know about the plugin rather then who "owns it". So apparently its just a broadcaster.. Not trying to insult but a broadcaster plugin is rather simple to program. Also there is absolutely no reason to compile with JRE 1.7, its a bukkit plugin, bukkit is written using java 1.5. If you were building a swing application, then java 7 is helpful, bukkit plugins using java 7 is simply a sure way to get people to not use your plugin since macs do not officially support java 7, also you cant claim it's used by thousands of servers worldwide unless you have some sort of evidence like Metrics to back it up, 4k downloads doesn't mean 4 thousand people use auto cast. As i probably said early I'm not trying to hate or what not but i mean come on my plugin has twice as many downloads but only like maybe 60-70 servers actually use it and i know because have metrics proof. Downloads will always exceed the volume of servers using it. I would give auto cast a try but... apparently java 7 has methods that you need which java 6 doesn't have... :/

Okay, I figured out whats wrong. You have an older version of Java then the one AutoCast was used to recompile with. Simply update your Java and your errors should go away. If errors continue, please let me know.

Posted Jun 22, 2012Hi, I'm trying to install this plugin on my server. I am using the latest build and I have the latest build of AutoCast. However, when I start the server it throws this error (also note that not 'AutoCast' folder is made and that I am using OSX Lion):
[SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins/AutoCast.jar' in folder 'plugins' org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: me/OperationVOID/AutoCast/OperationVOID : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.loadPlugin(JavaPluginLoader.java:151) at org.bukkit.plugin.SimplePluginManager.loadPlugin(SimplePluginManager.java:305) at org.bukkit.plugin.SimplePluginManager.loadPlugins(SimplePluginManager.java:230) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.loadPlugins(CraftServer.java:213) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.<init>(CraftServer.java:189) at net.minecraft.server.ServerConfigurationManager.<init>(ServerConfigurationManager.java:53) (I have only included the beginning)

Answer to question #1: Yes, I have been very busy with school lately, and I am now able to get more development in as I am now on a Summer leave.
Answer to question #2: Here is fine, but as this plugin get more interest, it is harder to read every comment.

1. Download the latest version made for the version of bukkit you are using 2. remove the entire AutoCast folder and let it redownload If both of those fail, please tell me the plugins you have installed.
