RandomTips Announcer

RandomTips Announcer

RandomTips is an auto announcer that was creating out of the ideas for random tips and facts.

Whilst administering new players on our server I would manually type out a tip with a silly random number for example:

'ProTip#2352: Didnt make member rank? Its probably not your awful build.'
'ProTip#302: You can deny idiots from you plot with /plotme deny <idiots name>'

and so RandomTips was born.

RandomTips allows server owners and admins to setup announcements for specific worlds, to help new users learn tips or to just simply inform them.

Features

Multiworld support.
Custom prefix for each world.
A global announcer.
Random tip numbers (just for fun).
Add and remove messages ingame.
Stop and start announcements ingame.
Players can ignore a specific announer.

This plugin is exactly what I needed, and I had to wade through like 7 other crappy announcement plugins to find it :p

If it's not creating a folder, you're doing it wrong.

Anyway if you need to manually create the folder, copy config.yml from the jar to plugins\RandomTips

Awesome plugin. Would be nice to separate messages into permission categories. Something like

Messages:
  spam(permission randomtips.messages.spam to recive this messages)
  - '&4Visit &ehttp://www.domain.com&amp;4 for more info'
  - '&4Like us on Facebook! &ehttp://www.facebook.com/ServerName'
  - '&4Use &e''/buy''&e or visit &ehttp://store.domain.com/ &4to buy perks.'
  tips(permission randomtips.messages.tips to recive this messages)
  - '&4Visit&e http://mc.domain.com:8123 &4for dynmap.'
  - '&4Join our mumble server at &edomain.com'
  - '&4Need a admin or mod? Create a request type /modreq'

@Freelix2000

vampirictorch is correct, It has a default config.yml inside the jar, which is use to create when RandomTips first loads to create the /RandomTips/config.yml. However the default config.yml is on the page above.

If you want to configure it before loading once, then just create a file @ /RandomTips/config.yml and copy and paste the example config file above.

Simple.

it did its called random tips, if it didn't come with it for you then open with winrar the .jar file and manually extract/edit but BACK IT UP! first.
