SimpleAnnounce
SimpleAnnounce
Create timed announcements/news messages with ease with SimpleAnnounce
You can create messages that are printed server-wide after a certain delay, and have it repeat every x seconds if you'd like. If you wish to send it only to users with certain permissions, or a lack of certain permissions, so it sends to exactly those whom you wish the message to send to.
Features
- Timed server-wide announcements/news messages
- Easily configurable
- Configure one-time or repeating messages
- Configure messages to only send to users with or without certain permission nodes
- Config auto-generation on first-run
- Optional debug mode to track down who is/isn't receiving messages and why
- Optional automatic config reloading to retrieve new messages
- '/simpleannounce reload' to reload on command!
- Permissions:
- simpleannounce to use '/simpleannounce' for help
- simpleannounce.reload to use '/simpleannounce reload' or '/simpleannounce r'
- Permissions:

Posted Dec 24, 2011Thanks for making the changes...I've added it to my server for testing.
So its checking to see if a certain permission is true versus being in a specific group?
includesperms: - permissions.build

Thanks a lot! Didn't know that there was a possibility to do that. Tried it with #0-f and &0-f, but I didn't thought about §0-f. Thank you very much and I'll then use this or another plugin, I'm not sure yet :)

Colors technically work if you use the correct characters in the config.
Example:

Posted Dec 24, 2011Including colors would be a cool feature :) Please try to not only make the whole message one color and include color-codes like &0-&f, so we're able to have multiple colors for one message.

Thank you! <3, and I have a suggestion add a feature where you can add colors, this would be really neat.

Posted Dec 24, 2011Hello taylorjb, I would love to compile the .jar myself but I have 0 clue on how to do that, I would really appreciate it if you could link me a pre-compiled build.
Thanks,
Lars

Well there is a jar available but if you are looking to compile from source I'd recommend checking it out as a project in eclipse but really you just need to be sure bukkit is on the build path and it should compile. If using eclipse you can simply export as a jar and drop it in to your server. I do not currently have a build script.

There aren't currently any commands but that is certainly a good idea and I'll add that.

Posted Dec 23, 2011This sounds promising as I'm looking to send announcements to certain groups. You don't list any commands are there any?
I'm fine as long as there is a "/simpleannounce reload", so I'm not restarting server to pick up new config.
