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 sorry i had no intentions of being rude. I didn't understand your Details about the plugin. So i was basically just showing everyone the basics of what i did to figure out how it worked.

I didn't mean to say the VIP thing was annoying. i was tired, and was just typing the thoughts as they generated in my head.

-~~- It is a very nice plugin :) very useful for many things.~~

The VIP message list is in the config as an example. You dont need to criticize the plugin in such a bad mannered post.

@JaDaName

The permission is automessage.receive.message-list. Replace message-list in the permission node with the name of the appropriate list.

@Chalkie19

This is already possible. Inside your message add the \n delimiter to start a new line. If the line does not start with a / then it will be broadcasted to the server. This allows multiple messages and commands during one interval. The random player name seems a little unnecessary so I most likely will not add it. The plugin uses a very low memory footprint and I have not done any extensive testing but I am sure you could have hundreds of lists. I can tell you the approximate object size of each message list in memory but even then the mapping of Name to Message list is very quick to read, minimizing access times.

- automessage.receive.* - automessage.receive.default

If anyone has any permission issues, try 1 of the above messagelists default messages: - '&1First&r message Please Visit the new website! \n You can apply for ranks here \n BLAH BLAH WEBSITE '

line 1 welcome to the server line 2 please visit our new website line 3you can apply for ranks line 4website blahblahblah WEBSITE

__________

I took the VIP part out... annoying...

also... messages - '&1First&r message Please Visit the new website! \n You can apply for ranks here \n http://blahblahblah.com/ ' - '&'2Secound&r message

if you do it like that... server starts for 45 secounds... says line 1.. then waits 45 secounds again for message line 2..

This looks great.
With the command part, is it possible to do multiple commands? I am hoping to create a reward system but I would like to notify the player as well. Example below.

message-lists:
sixhourlyrewards:
enabled: true
random: true
interval: 21600
prefix: '[&3Reward!&r] '
messages:
- '/give {NAME} diamond 5'
- '/give {NAME} cake 10'
- '/eco give {NAME} 5000'

Would it be possible now or in a future update to have something like?
- '/give {NAME} diamond 5','/m {NAME} You have received 5 diamonds as a reward!'

Also the ability to have a random player name variable to allow random rewards?

How many different types of announcements could I run before this was not so "light weight"?

Thanks for the info.

You must have been using a very old version if you still had the automessage.properties file. Try deleting or renaming the AutoMessage folder and install the latest version. Restart or reload the server to let the configuration regenerate automatically.

Seems to not work after the update :/ I put all of my new messages into the config, saved and typed /am reload, and deleted the old automessages.properties file generated from before the update. I gave the permisson automessage.receive.default, but nobody, not even me, can see the messages.

Make sure you are negating the appropriate nodes. If you require assistance feel free to make a pastie of your config and permissions and PM them to me. :)

Despite permission nodes for certain lists, everyone can see them. What am I doing wrong here?

What that looks like is that you are using custom biome types that the plugin does not recognize. Are you sure that a biome type is set for that world/location?

@MCv4d3vil

it works for me too, just do /am reload and then /am broadcast default 1 you can replace 'default' for what ever you named your set of messages on config. This fixed it for me. :D
