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!

Hey! I've been using your plugin for a while now and, I was wondering if there was a way to take away the ability to see a message system. For example, group "Mod" is inherited by group "default". Group default has automessage.recieve.default and group Mod has automessage.recieve.mod. For some reason I cant seem to find a way to have it so that group "Mod" does not see automessage default. Yes I have tried to negate the permission. Is there any other way do this?

Edit: Never mind! I found the error, it was just a grammatical error on my part. Love the plugin! :)

I will look into player_logins and total_logins but I am pretty sure that those would require stored data which is not the purpose of the plugin. However, unique_players I should be able to do. And for time/date I was considering adding something like {date_year}, {date_month}, {date_month_literal}, {date_day}, {date_day_literal}, {time_hour}, {time_hour_military}, {time_minute}, {time_second}, {am_pm}. And I wouldn't mind adding group/vault support. :)

Can you add {unique_players} ,{player_logins}, {total_logins}, {time} & {date} ?

{unique_players} is the number of players who were logged
{player_logins} is the number of times the concerning player logged in.
{total_logins} is the total login amount (any player, at any time)

{time} is the server time, in a 24 hours format (13:20) and follows the server time. (it would be really cool if we could change the time zone in the config, but not required, its alright if the time is the server time)
{date} is the date, in a day.month.year format, so for an example: 13.06.2013 which is today, it follows either the server time or eventually the time zone set in the config.

It would also be really useful if you could add support for {<group>} were <group> is a group in a Vault supported permission plugin. It may even be even more useful, but again optional if we could change the output of the {<group<} in the config.

I understand if this is beyond the main purpose of the plugin, but I would be happy if you could add it.

Please remember this has not been added yet but the format is opposite of the normal date format. It goes seconds, minutes, hour, day, month, year. If you exclude year then it would broadcast every year was my thinking, leave out month and year and it will broadcast every month etc.

    scheduled-messages:
      00:00:06-02:
        - 'First message on {DATE}'
        - 'Second message on {DATE}'
        - 'This message will be sent on the 2nd of every month at 6 o clock'

Can you explain scheduling?
00:00:06-02
Which one is hour, second, minute, month, year, day, etc.?

@TMtheBest

Make sure you dont have an error in your config. Paste all the information in an online yaml checker and fix any errors there. The config is only saved when edits are made to the file and therefore a crash would not cause it to be wiped.

@GumbyDammit

Glad you got it figured out :)

@Beaving

Oh shoot I forgot to mention that in the change log. In the newer versions I replaced {DISPLAYNAME} with {DISPLAY_NAME}. Hope this resolves your issue :)

Besides the sudden [Suffix] bug which Sakiys already mentioned, {DISPLAYNAME} is not replaced with the name anymore. I like your plugin very much, but until that is fixed I need to use an old version :P

I think I win the Dumb Guy of the Week award. In your example above, I thought it was a double-quote (") instead of two single-quotes (''). Duh.

I've got a small problem, each time my server crashes, the hole file becomes blank. It's completely whipped. It's still there in the plugins file, but there nothing in the config.

@Sakiys

Type /am suffix <List> or manually edit the config and set the suffix key to suffix: ''.

@saxons12

Type /am list and if the message lists show up then make sure you are spelling the names right. Otherwise make sure the yaml syntax is correct in an online yaml checker.

I also have this issue:

"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."

@skiracerdude

The expiry is set in milliseconds since 1970. Unless you want to compute the value yourself I recommend using the in-game commands. You can set the expiry by using /am expiry <List> #d#h#m#s where # is a number.

@GumbyDammit

I really dont see this as an issue. The functionality works perfectly and doesn't conflict with the actual message.

It's really bugging me seeing double-quotes instead of single-quotes in my messages. Is it possible for you to substitute the two on the fly? I'm aware of the XML requirement for the double-quotes, but this seems to be a reason to NOT use XML and just use a simple text file instead.

What unit is the variable 'expiry' set in? Seconds? Minutes? Days?
