Posted Mar 17, 2012Good job, i love this plugin, but it could be better if you add this command /autoannouncer add <message> So people can change their broadcasts in game.

and what is /announcer restart¿¿?? re you kidding. if you need to change your messages every day search another plugin. you pay me to make a plugin? no! so STFU. I hate people who complain about something they get without move a finger.
@Zed_Networks
/reload is the worst command ever. but should work perfect.

I had that too. I didn't have Vault installed and adding that, and re-adding the jar fixed it for me.

correct, but perhaps more importantly... why do the announcements not start automatically after a reload? Am I missing something, I have to type /announcer on every time I reload? This should at least be configurable. It could even remember its place, and continue on the schedule.
definitely needs a way to reload the config, and a way to broadcast an announcement manually. And thanks for telling me it needs vault.
I do like the config file, it's quite intuitive, even if there are features missing that the plugin kinda needs... but the in game aspect of it is really putting me off.

Vault doesn't need to update for 1.2.3, it's working perfectly fine on my server.

Posted Mar 14, 2012You really need to add a reload function for the plugin or some way of rechecking the configuration. There is no way to update the messages other than to restart the server, and it's a bit ridiculous to have to do that. Sure you can change the interval time, but don't you think being able to change the messages themselves is a lot more useful?
Also you need to make it clear that the permission option only works if the server has Vault.

Posted Mar 14, 2012How does the per group announcements work? Do I replace default with the name of the group? Or a permissionnode that the group has?

Posted Mar 12, 2012Yeah I could use some in-game commands. This makes it possible to use it on a public server allowing VIPs and admins who don't have access to server files to add messages and stuff.

Posted Mar 11, 2012What if I want to make announcements about commands and stuff to donors but give information about donating and stuff to the default group?
I think that makes sense.

the groups say that the messages send only if the player are in these group.
if you are not in Default group you dont read the message.
