I assume you are using PEX if you are able to give yourself the '*' node. If this is the case all you need to do is give the group the negate permissions for the announcements you don't want them to see.

I'm not sure if there is really a necessity to change the permission node, especially since I already have people using the plugin. You can potentially make the nodes whatever you want. For example you could create an announcement group named "theoverlords" and give your admins the ga.theoverlords permissions and they would receive those announcements.

v 0.6 has been submitted. It allows custom colors using &0-9a-f and removes the auto reload (which can be annoying when adding a lot of messages or making changes). When you are finished making changes, simply do /ga reload to apply them all. More changes coming soon including choosing random vs linear announcements, manually running announcement, and choice to enable/disable announcements.

@Digitalink2008 Well the good news is, fully compatible with 1.2.3 :) Starting work on updates today.

@Digitalink2008

We are in BETA but its running as a normal server. mc.vapidflats.com Will get this updated soon, I promise.

@Silthus

The groups tell the plugin which groups are available. So if you define your own group you must also add it to the group list. You can also use /ga reload if you manually edit the config.

@Enrux

I am currently very busy redoing our server which will hopefully be up this week. Once that is done I will be able to focus on the features people have asked for in the next update. Thank you for your interest!

@R3TRI8UTI0N

In the next update I plan on adding multiple colors per announcement, thank you for the suggestion. In terms of word wrap, the issue is that not everyone uses the same font which means determining where word wrap should be is kind of difficult. I suppose the best solution for this would be to use word wrap while in default, I will look into it.

@ArrowsToDaKnee

Delay is the amount of time it takes before the announcement will start upon server start or plugin reload. Repeat is how often the item repeats. This because especially useful if you have multiple sets of messages able to be seen by one group, for example, if your VIP receive both the global message plus the VIP message, you will probably want to make sure they aren't being broadcast at the same time which is where delay comes into play. I will also be looking at a multi-line solution for the next update.

Thank you all for your feedback.

@gabizou

I will double check but you should be able to edit the config manually, and as long as you follow the yaml format, you should just need to do /ga reload in game and it should load all of your announcements. I'm not sure about mulit-line support I will look into it for a future release. Thank you for your feedback, if you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

@Digitalink2008

Glad to see you remembered and are going to give it a shot! Please do let me know if you have any issues. I plan on making a few changes in the next update that should make it a little nicer during setup.

@zackb1079

Since this is the plugin that I use on my own server, I plan to support it as long as I can. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to offer them!

@Mr_H4mm3r

You need to set up your groups and messages using the plugin in game commands, then give your user the proper permissions. Here is a complete example of adding a new group, removing the default message, adding a custom message, and setting the timers:

/ga add mygroup - this will create the group 'mygroup'
/ga mygroup remove 1 - this will remove the default message
/ga mygroup add We are now on MC 1.1! - this will add the message "We are now on MC 1.1!" to the group mygroup.
/ga mygroup set delay 30 - will start broadcasting 30 seconds after server start
/ga mygroup set repeat 600 - will repeat every 10 minutes

You then need to give the players that you want to see this message the permission node ga.mygroup. You would then create another group the same way and so on. You may give one user multiple group nodes to allow them to see multiple messages from other groups.

Don't forget to give users ga.global so they can see global messages.
