A unique identifier
The server's version of Java
Whether the server is in offline or online mode
The plugin's version
The server's version

This plugin features an update command which will check if you are running the latest build and download the update to the plugin folder if it not currently installed. You are required to trigger the command manually and you must restart or reload the server for changes to take effect.

Thanks to my donators!

MultiWorld support is a little more tricky when it comes to permissions and takes a few more steps. Check out this page for a little more help. https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/wiki/Advanced-permissions-setup#wiki-pex-multiworld

This is what I would end up doing:

member: permissions: worlds: survival: permissions: - automessage.receive.default creative: permissions: - automessage.receive.builder

Hope this helps. Also be sure to use the latest version 2.0.2 I looked back and found an error with permissions in the plugin.

- automessage.recieve.builder - CREATIVE

- automessage.recieve.default - Survival

people in survival see the command for creative.

If you are using the version 2.0.0 and above the config has changed substantially. Messages are no longer handled by message lists. You must migrate your config to the new format. First backup your old messages/config. After that reload the config and copy the messages into the default list or create your own lists. Be sure you do not just copy and replace your config with the backed up config. If you want to add more lists follow the message list format or use the in-game commands. For every list that you have add the appropriate permission of the list. I hope this helped.

@Nytoro

Yes this is possible what I would do is setup two message lists for each world. Then add the appropriate permissions to each group in a specific world.

@FlashLight32

I can try to investigate why letters aren't being read from the YAML or if its an error in some other part of Bukkit. Ill look into this.

Did the wildcard permission and still nothing, also like i said i deleted everything and reinstalled the plugin before and re-added my messages and it still doesn't work...

I am running 1.4.5 Spigot i don't know if that has anything to do with it. All my other plugins work fine but AutoMessage and LegendaryMessages (Both don't display delayed messages)

It probably would have helped if the config was automatically converted, but oh well, backing up and resetting the config is the first step to fixing the problem. Once you've reset (delete and let the plugin generate) the config, copy over the information from the previous config to the new one and reload it. This process has been part of AM a long time, so from now on, if you continue to use AM, I suggest expecting that you will need to properly refresh the config with each update.

With the permissions, it is
automessage.recieve.(listname)

Or to receive them all, the wildcard node works.
automessage.recieve.*

I have read your FAQ and your Config page and it states nothing of my problem, in fact your Config page is DIFFERENT from mine!

Do i place automessage.receive.[message list] exactly into my permissions or do i put automessage.receive.messages or automessage.recieve.message-list because it says messages: on my config not message-list:

My GroupManager permissions for players: http://prntscr.com/km2bx

My Configuration for AutoMessage: http://prntscr.com/km2f5

And i know how to run my server and install plugins thank you. You do not need to be a complete dick about it and spam mail me on my own server. I am simply asking for help on a problem with your plugin, i have asked dozens of other authors for help and you are the first, THE FIRST to ever treat me the way you did. Everyone else helped me nicely and promptly (except IcyRelic he has just been ignoring everyone lately)

I do not want any trouble, i just want your plugin working correctly on my server. That's it!

Have you read the instructions I honestly spend a lot of time and effort programming this plugin and get very angry when server owners such as yourself do not read the instructions. I have addressed nearly every issue that has been asked in the FAQ or Configuration Guide. In your case you need to add automessage.receive.[message list] to the groups or players who you want to receive the message.

Sorry this plugin isn't designed to accomodate every little feature request. This seems a bit overkill for the plugin.

suggestion:
the plugin sends a message equal to the % of the number of the players.

so you set your "max players" for the 100% of the time. for example 100 players. and you set a time of 50 seconds.
then 40 players get 40% of the time. that's 20 seconds. and when 100 players are online the time ist 50 seconds
