FrogAnnounce

An auto-messaging/auto-announcement/announcer/thing system for your minecraft server.

Bukkit version doesn't matter for this plugin. Please don't ask me to update it for that reason.

Description

Okay, so here's my first plugin which I've actually released that isn't amazingly small-scale. It's a fairly simple plugin which relays messages, at the rate in minutes, set in the configuration. It allows for colours, multi-line messages, message cycling, and message shuffling. I made this because I've seen a few plugins like this, but they're either out-of-date and don't work, or they just don't work, period. From thereabouts comes this plugin, FrogAnnounce. I know the name is lame; I'm not creative with names, sorry.

You mean such that "Donate:" and "Vote:" would be on separate lines?

This feature already exists.

Try this:

There isn't in the current version, but it is planned to be implemented as %player% and released soon.

I just tried it with a Russian message, and it has an issue with the character: 'с'. Let me see if I know what's wrong.

Edit: it could just be an issue with my console not accepting Russian characters; it shows up as '?' in my console. If you could try it out and let me know if it works, that would be fantastic.

You need to remove this and it should work:

Strings: - !!me.thelunarfrog.frogannounce.IndependentAnnouncement {} - !!me.thelunarfrog.frogannounce.Announcement {} - !!me.thelunarfrog.frogannounce.Announcement {} - !!me.thelunarfrog.frogannounce.Announcement {}

Remove all of it and it should function as you expect it to. Currently working on a fix, I know why this is happening.

I use 1.4.0 and last Bukkit, and this crash occurs even when I use standard configuration =-)
Also, I had one more issue now - when I tried to write messages in Russian (profile: http://pastebin.com/hNbgdVV6 ) I recieve http://pastebin.com/BCwACyrG in console at startup. And when I try to turn on this plugin by /fa on, I get "An internal error occured while performing this command" in chat and http://pastebin.com/C4pLS7ET in console. =-(

@redundantgaming

Could you please paste your configuration before you used the command, and specify what version you're on?

Edit: Nevermind. I think I know what's causing it. There's some left over code in FrogAnnounce's /fa add and its config loading. If you remove the section of your config that says "Strings:" then has a bunch of stuff like "- !!me.thelunarfrog.frogannounce.FrogAnnounce.Announcement @532525" etc, it will work again.

@MeJellyPelly

That isn't my doing, and I have no choice in the matter. That is the API that Bukkit uses.

Ahhh, now I get it!!

Put the entire message in double quotes " .. " and don't use the apostrophe escape (\') just use the apostrophe ('), i.e.

"Don't forget blah blah"

I think it would be better if it actually processed the escape code(s) though.

P.S. good luck with the exam :-)

Noted. Will look at these issues when I get home (about to take the AP computer science exam).

I tired putting " .. " around the message instead of ' .. ' but I get the error:

found unknown escape character '(39)

Hi,

Try putting the messages in quotation marks - that should fix the issues with apostrophes. For example: "stuff's happening"

I can't get the escape sequence \' to work. I have a message with the word Don't which I wrote as Don\'t but I get an error.

Text: '&6;Don\'t forget to donate at &c; http://xxx.yyyyyyy.zzz/ &6;or do /Buy'

What am I doing wrong ... or is it a bug?
