Posted May 17, 2014Using 1.2 for 1.6.4 is it possible to reload the MOTD without a server restart?
Edit: When not changing it in game I mean. Editing the config externally then reloading.

Posted May 10, 2014A nice variable would be %version that would show the version. (Auto updating like if i changes my version to 1.8 it would detect it!)

When you launch the server, is there any error? Probably, you'll be writing something incorrectly

Posted Apr 21, 2014Please add a(n Essentials formatted) nickname variable for Server List MOTD (and Login MOTD), so that you can see who joined the server last.
Thanks!? :)

Posted Mar 31, 2014I have a suggestion, There should be an option to have a randomizer where the server owner can set random messages that will change each time a player clicks multipayer.

I would also like to be able to add a line break character to the external server motd, to allow for a two line message. Other than that, the plugin appears to work great!

Posted Mar 14, 2014for some reason the plugin keeps deleting its like entire config file. and i've had issues with player logins throwing error.
http://pastebin.com/EaBPB39x
I think the error on login is due to the config deleting itself other than the external motd but everytime i set the config it just dletes itself again.
