The plugin features a rich in-game config editor as well as the ability to edit the config from the disk. The plugin is designed to be very lightweight and cause no impact on server resources! The plugin is updated within days of new releases to ensure complete up-to-date server compatibility! Check out the plugin review here!

Features:

Fully configurable configuration!
Rich in-game config editor!
Quick and painless reloading!
Option to randomize broadcasts!
Color code support!!
Run commands in your messages!

Installation:

Just drag and drop into your plugins folder then restart or reload your server! Simple!

Usage and Information:

This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

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
The OS version/name and architecture
The core count for the CPU
The number of players online
The Metrics version Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.

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!

Yes. I removed the auto-update check and replaced it with a command. Apparently they didn't like it to much. Expect an update in the next 5 minutes.

It seems to be a bug, switch your "Random option" to True.

Help! After updating to the newest version I am having the issue that only the first message in the list shows up on the screen. I have checked everything and even re-written all the messages by hand - still the same error! Please help!

Resolved! Thank you!

Re-posting since the guy who said he was going to help never got back to me.

I keep getting an error that says the specified list does not exist when I try to broadcast anything from default. The config still has everything there, I've not removed anything. I have enabled the list and the program. It's in the right location.

It does not work I do not recommend

My config

----------
AutoMessage Configuration File
----------
Message Configuration:
Messages are handled in lists to allow for advanced customization!
Feel free to add color codes by using & in your messages!
To split a message onto multiple lines use the \n delimiter!
Lines starting with / will be run as a command!
To add single apostrophes into a message use ''.
For a complete tutorial go to http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/automessage.
If you are unfamiliar with YAML use the in-game commands: /am help

settings: enabled: true min-players: 0 log-to-console: false auto-update: false message-lists: default: enabled: true random: true interval: 45 expiry: -1 prefix: '[&bGłos z nieba&r] ' suffix: '' messages: - "Test 1" - 'Test 2' - 'Test 3' - 'Test 4' vip: enabled: false random: false interval: 45 expiry: -1 prefix: '[&bPrefix&r]\n' suffix: '\n[&4Suffix&r] ' messages: - 'This message will be displayed only to users with \nautomessage.receive.vip!'

What bad ?

Hmm I was just thinking like having a schedule of messages that all broadcast at a certain time but I actually like your method a bit more.

@ELCHILEN0

Would you be able to do it for the hole day!

message-lists:
  example:
    enabled: true
    interval: 120
    expiry: -1
    scheduled-time: '06-01/05/2025' or '' for disabled
    random: true
    prefix: '&7(&eHostelCraft&7) '
    suffix: ''
    messages:
    - 'This message will be sent on June 2nd in the year 2025'

-Hostel

Does this seem like a good way of pre-scheduling messages?

message-list:
  all-other-keys: above
  scheduled-messages:
      00:00:06-02:
        - 'First message on {DATE}'
        - 'Second message on {DATE}'
        - 'This message will be sent on the at 6 AM on the 2nd of every month!'
      00:00:06-01/05:
        - 'This message will be sent at 6 AM during on June 2nd every year!'
      00:00:06-01/05/2025:
        - 'This message will be sent at 6 AM during on June 2nd in the year 2025!'

Tell me what you guys think! :)

I will take a look into this and release a bugfix shortly. I refactored quite a bit of the broadcast code to be more generic and aplicable in other cases and I dont doubt I left out a few lines.

I'm setting up my message lists using the in game console, and yml editing, but it won't display anything past the first message unless I turn random on, then it will display the other messages, but turning it off gets it stuck on just that one message.

PvPServers To fix it only sending the one message turn Random on!

ELCHILEN0 There seems to be some kind of bug and its only sending the first message on the list when you have Random: false!

The biome is part of the variables in the messages. These were added a few versions ago to allow dynamic messages to players. I am actually thinking this is an issue with the plugin used to add a moon biome. The only reason I say this is because I am using the Bukkit API to get the location the player is at. I get the block the player is on and then get the biome of that block. I will look into it more and possibly add some more checks.

Hey, ELCHILENO. I noticed back 6 pages ago, you commented on someone's comment. They said they got this error

What happens is, when someone is on the moon it says this. This should not happen. You seem to have something in your plugin that looks for biomes? Why would automessage do that? And it breaks your automessage to that player for about 10 minutes after they leave the moon and all the time on the moon.

In Tekkit, the moon is from the mod galacticcraft. Is there a way to stop your plugin from looking for a biome and just automessage? Becuase I am not sure what you added to your plugin which forced it to look for a biome.

Make sure you close the config and reopen when editing. Often times when changes have been made to the file the editor will not update to reflect these changes. To disable the suffix set the key suffix: 'your suffix here' to suffix: ''. I hope this helps.
