- now animated

Thanks for 20k+ downloads

My Config

made from my config

Intro

This is my first plugin and has grown much beyond my original sights and has grown in size by a factor of 20 reaching into the 10's of thousands of downloads. The plugin has recently been adapted to allow animated server pings with moving text and a gif for the server Icon. I saw someone was offering an animated config for $12 a download and I thought, I can do that and better, for free. Then, the mega-upgrade of my original plugin had begun and hopefully you will enjoy the fruits of my work. So, if you want an animated ping for you minecraft motd, you've come to the right place.

Also, the old config (earlier than v4.0) has been replaced by a new file. The server will not atuo-transfer from the old config. And I got rid of the motd.txt file.

Note, you need Protocol lib to run this plugin

Tutorial

Video I made, it's pretty bad but it should work :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biH75H36K0Q

UPDATE

Hello, I would like to apologize to anyone that wanted to use this plugin. The latest version of minecraft broke this plugin (that was a few months ago). I was discouraged by this so much that I just abandon the project and refused to look at it. This is unacceptable behavior from a content creator and I shouldn't have acted this way. I will post the source code for the broken plugin soon. This code will not work but anyone can see the code that made the magic work (undocumented scrawl is the real magic. I will never document it... that is way too much work for the time I have now). Hopefully this will be of some consolation. I may change the software so that it will work as the initial versions did without the animation. Apparently 37k of you have downloaded the software and I thank you for your support and not reporting me constantly for the small support that I have given.

here is the source code:
bukkit: https://github.com/nicholas-maltbie/PlayerCountMessage
bungee: https://github.com/nicholas-maltbie/Player-Count-Message-Bungee

Feel free to modify, copy or update the code as you please; I only request that you cite me. Also, if you make any cool projects with my work, send me a like and I'd love to see what you have made.

That error originates because you are using a version of Java that is less recent than the version I'm using. Which version of the JRE (java) are you using, I compiled the code with Java 8.-_25, make sure your java is updated.

Some page where people that know more about java than I do talk about it: http:stackoverflow.com/questions/12770622/java-lang-unsupportedclassversionerror

I have a problem with the newest version. I'm using Spigot 1649 with the protocol hack and when I start the server I get this error:

What version of the plugin are you using, and are you sure you're using the correct version of protocol lib?

Hello, this is a message about the future of this plugin. If the bukkit staff will approve another version of the plugin, there will be a big update soon, it will support animated messages, the server icon, and the version name (the online/max text). It has a few caveats but I think that they are manageable. The only thing I need now is a nice, original gif or the default image. If someone could make one of those and pm it to me I would be very grateful. I can make GIFs but I only use GIMP to do so. Additionally, if anyone would like to help me with testing and such, (the version for testing is almost complete :D) pm me on the forums or add me on skype, it's flyguy23ndm.

Working on it. Expect this plugin to be added to sponge when it comes out. I'm re-coding it from scratch and hope to have it ready asap.

If anyone has ideas for the plugin, post them and they may be added in the new version.

Hey Nicholas, another feature id recommend ( As i recommended staff showing )

A permission to show I.E pcm.show Having that permission shows you on the list (can be toggled) Having pcm.ignore DOESNT show you on the list (can be toggled) maybe /pcm show {Shows you on the list} and /pcm ignore {Doesnt show you on the list} Also an addition to my staff showing, pcm.staff

i have a feeling it depends on whos running your server and how it is being run i find multicraft panels unable to work with some plugins, while those plugins like this one work fine on custom control panels

do you have protocol lib on your server (a version 3.3.1 or newer)?
