Hey JLeafbryd,

you said, you're wondering, if there is a way to change the front of a broadcast message from [Info] to, maybe [Broadcast]. I'm working on this to make it changeable in the Config.

Hey, first this is a great plugin, but i was wondering if there is a way to change the broadcast message so instead of saying [info] it could say something like [broadcast], or whatever is needed? Thanks

I keep getting this error after some time. Could it be the case this happens after all messages in mesages.txt have been shown once?

Hi I think plugin is a great idea, but I have a problem,

05:27:10 [WARNING] [BroadcasterEnglish] Task #32834 for BroadcasterEnglish v1.1 generated an exception java.lang.NullPointerException at me.lalo5.Broadcaster.BroadcasterEnglish.broadcastMessages(Broadcaster English.java:75) at me.lalo5.Broadcaster.BroadcasterEnglish.access$0(BroadcasterEnglish.j ava:66) at me.lalo5.Broadcaster.BroadcasterEnglish$1.run(BroadcasterEnglish.java :54) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_4_R1.scheduler.CraftTask.run(CraftTask.java :53) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_4_R1.scheduler.CraftScheduler.mainThreadHea rtbeat(CraftScheduler.java:344) at net.minecraft.server.v1_4_R1.MinecraftServer.r(MinecraftServer.java:5 30) at net.minecraft.server.v1_4_R1.DedicatedServer.r(DedicatedServer.java:2 24) at net.minecraft.server.v1_4_R1.MinecraftServer.q(MinecraftServer.java:4 94) at net.minecraft.server.v1_4_R1.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java :427) at net.minecraft.server.v1_4_R1.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:8 49)

Also would it be possible to adjust broadcast time, amount of messages, send to player when they login?

Thanks
