So far I was running only 1 announcement group per rank in my server.

I had Registration and global announcement groups.

Now I made few more and the issue is some announcements display on the same time.

For example if I put 1 minute interval for Registration and 5 minutes for global then on the 5 minute marker the announcements will show at once.

I thought about this like 10 minutes and there is no way to fix this with the current announcement system.

Even if we put each group of by 1 second we can have maximum of 60 groups. But that isn't really what we want.

So the solution is to add group prefixes.

The main idea was to have different tags for announcements for each user group but since they announcements are "conflicking" or showing on the same time this isnt the best solution. So we can't have more then 1 announcement tag for 1 PEX group.

default:
  tag: '&2[Default]&7 '
  delay: 0
  repeat: 5
  last: 0
  prefixes:
  shop:
    tag: &2[shop]&7
  city:
    tag: &2[city]&7
  announcements:
    city:
  prefixes:
  - shop
  - city
    - Our Nexus city complex consists of 96 shop lots where 80 are usable by regular players.
    shop:
    - Need shop lot to start a business and get some money? Well ask an admin or higher to reserve you one!

Applying the same principles as the announcement groups have we are going to add prefixes. With this setup I can have unlimited amount of prefixes for the same group.

And the offset for groups can be set bu the delay if needed.

Alternative would be to manually add the prefixes into the announcement itself and disabling the group prefix but this is more flexible allowing to turn on/off the groups and also individual prefixes.

I hope you can implement this. This would be so ultimate feature :D

Hmm, I'm not sure I 100% understand this. Since you are coming up with a lot of ideas and customizations, maybe it would be best that you and I talk over Skype once I get moved? My Skype username is pocketkings719 so feel free to add me and we can talk and hash all this out when I have time.

Sweet, added!
