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 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!

The commands still don't work and now, when i'm using %n a weird symbol appears. The line splitting work but a weird symbol also appears. I'm really trying to get the command thing to work but i can't do it :(.

This is how the message looks like: - 'You have the following kits available:%n/kits'

The new line should be %n.

@ZackTee3

Essentially it allows you to use custom string formatters. For example you can now type a message like this:

- '%s': - 'Your message here' - '%1000s': - 'This message will take up 1000 characters ALWAYS' -'%-10s %s': - 'Far Left:' - 'Right String Here'

I can't get commands to work with messages! I use the / but it doesn't work. I tried adding a message like this : - 'You have the following kits available:\n/kits' Can anyone explain me how to get this feature to work?

Question

What does the new feature do and how does it work?

New feature: ":[]"

Basically it looks like this in the config: 'This is a message': []

The new feature would be the open and closed square brackets above.

About Apostrophes

This isn't a suggestion but just to point out, you don't need to add a double quote in place of an apostrophe. You can simply put your message in double quotes, and use apostrophes normally.

Example (normally): 'Don"t do drugs'

Example (alternatively): "Don't do drugs"

It works just the same.

Just remove the ? characters from the front of the messages and replace \n with %n.

I fixed my problem. It works when I type in this:

settings:
  enabled: true
  min-players: 0
  log-to-console: true
message-lists:
  Basics:
    enabled: true
    interval: 30
    expiry: -1
    random: false
    prefix: '&l&6]'
    suffix: '&l&6]'
    messages:
    - ? '&r&fTo see server stats, type &l&5"/mss stats&r&f"! %n Stats started on&l&5
        12,19,13 at 7:30 P.M.&r&f! %n The server started on&l&5 12/18/13&r&f. %n I
        accept &l&5PvP&r&f, but there are &l&5rules&r&f! %n If you want the rules,
        ask Tucker. %n You &l&5SHOULD&r&f ask me before you start PvP! %n Be &5&lsafe&r&f,
        &l&5respectful&r&f, and &l&5obey the rules&r&f! %n Oh, and &5&lhave fun&r&f!
        %n &fThe time is &5&l{HOUR}:{MINUTE}&f&r.'
      : []
  formatted:
    enabled: true
    interval: 1410065407
    expiry: -1
    random: false
    prefix: ''
    suffix: ''
    messages:
    - '%6s %9s %10s':
      - Custom
      - formatted
      - '&2message!'

It's working again. It was the '%', the plugin probably doesn't allow it to be used :)

Hi ELCHILENO,

I've tried adding messages to the config with the new %n line it still wont let me do this.

I've started from scratch to avoid conflicts with the old config. Adding a new group "Offender" with no messages (yet). It was added to the config by "ingame command" (/automessage add Offender) and generated automatic the default messages.

Offender: enabled: true interval: 45 expiry: -1 random: false prefix: '[&bPrefix&r] ' suffix: ' [&4Suffix&r]' messages: - First message in the list!: [] - '&aSecond message in the list with formatters!': [] - ? "&bThird message in the list with formatters and a \nnew line!" : [] - ? "&cFourth message in the list with %8s formatters and a \nnew line!" : - advanced

As you see this generated the bug with the ? and used the old \n wich in the chat did break to a new line.

I also dont understand what the line " - '%6s %9s %10s':" does in the "formatted" section of the config.

I'm back to 2.3.5 version that still works for me (for now).

The :[] is a new feature but the ? must have been an error.

Hey,

Could you please tell me what's wrong with this config? http://pastebin.com/6R9NPizt It added the [] and ? itself.

Version 2.4.0 downloaded from this site. Config deleted and regened automatically gives me this console log.

http://pastebin.com/5aEtcpzs

%n works ONLY on 2.4.0 and above. There are reported problems with older versions with \n but 2.4.0 works.

Here is the config.
