Got an Error?
Please read this if you have any issues with the configuration: http:dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/simpleautomessage/pages/config-yml/
This plugin uses Carlgo11's pastebin-reporter. You can disable sending of your latest.log by setting send-log to false in the config.
Report an error:
- Stop your server.
- Set debug to true in the config.yml (change the debug string to: true)
- Startup the server and let it load for as long as the delay is set to in the 'time:' string
- Run the command /SimpleAutoMessage Support
- Click the first link that starts with "
http://cajs.co.uk/link/" - Press connect and tell the developers/helpers what your issue is
- Wait for reply(Can take a while)
Remember to be careful with the config.yml! Even one single blankspace in the wrong place can destroy the whole config!
Required information
The following text has been requested by different dev.bukkit.org moderators.
1. This plugin uses mcstats. It automatically uploads data about the plugins usage to it's mcstats page. The information cannot be traced back to your server and it does not upload any private information. Mcstats helps us see the demand of the plugin; how common some issues are, (which makes it possible for us to priorities the issues); the countries using SimpleAutomessage, (Which makes it possible for us to make translations of the plugin to these countries); motivates us to continue develop the plugin.
Do you still want to disable mcstats? Here's a quote from http://mcstats.org/learn-more/, written by Hidendra, on how to disable mcstats:
Quote:For this service to track a plugin, an author must explicitly add it to their plugin. They will most likely have made note of this addition in any changelogs. Your server cannot be identified nor controlled in any way by MCStats. As well, you have access to the same data that the plugin author can see.
You are free to opt-out of submitting data whenever you wish. This will immediately stop sending data for any plugins that supports MCStats / Plugin Metrics. Simply edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and change opt-out: false to true
You can find this plugin's stats on http:mcstats.org/plugin/SimpleAutomessage/.
2. This plugin uses Gravity's Updater 2.0, with some modifications. This allows you to automatically get updates when available. It is strongly recommended to leave this as it is but if still want to turn version checks off set "auto-update" to false and "warn-update" to none.
Do note that when you disable update checking your server is at risk. You will have to manually install security patches and other updates.
3. This plugin uses Carlgo11's Reporter API. This allows you to quickly join our support chat and allows us to see your issue via pastebins created when joining the support chat or by doing /simpleautomessage report. If you wish not to give us your config and log, simply don't use /simpleautomessage support nor /simpleautomessage report. If you wish not to upload your log when asking for help, set "send-log" to false in the config.
4. Simpleautomessage version 1.2.2 and newer have dev-all-perms that allows the developers of this plugin all simpleautomessage perms for your server if the server isn't a offline-mode server. It is completely up to you if you want to grant us that. To disable this, set dev-all-perms to false in the config.yml.
However this may help us help you with your server if you require help from our support channel.

I'll need a little more than 'it doesn't work'. Give me logs with debug mode enabled or else I won't be able to look into it.

Posted Dec 12, 2013Will try next time I restart the server. But it's not only with your plugin. I tried AutoMessage as well. Same thing! Lag immediately after message gets broadcasted! Maybe it's a spigot issue?

To answer that I'd need a server.log with debug-mode enabled. See http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/simpleautomessage/pages/config-yml/#w-any-errors-do-the-following for more information on how to do that.

Posted Dec 11, 2013Plugins works fine on 1.7.2 however it causes the server to lag for just 1 - 2 seconds immediately after the message gets broadcastet. Why is that?

Posted Sep 26, 2013Mcstats back up!
Yup mcstats.org is finally back online again! Thanks to Buycraft, Avalanche Network and VladToBehere for helping Hidendra bring it back up again!
Everything will soon be back online again and you should no longer see these annoying mcstats errors in the console.
If you still get errors by SimpleAutoMessage concerning mcstats please contact me at Carlgo11@Carlgo11.com.

Posted Sep 20, 2013Mcstats.org down!
So as many of you know mcstats.org was shutdown today.
SimpleAutoMessage uses mcstatsto send graphs about how many that's using this plugin and so on.
Since the 4:th of September mcstats have caused errors in the console. We developers have hoped hidendrawould be able to fix this but it looks like he didn't have the time to.
The developers of mcstats.org will fix the errors showing up in all consoles shortly but in the meantime download the latest dev-version of simpleautomessage. (The Essentials team have also decided to remove the mcstats.org code so download the latest essentials version to fix the errors you get from them.)

See line 63 in the config.yml. "we'll" You can't have another ' inside a string that's surrounded with ' '. Fix this problem by surround the msg9 string with " " instead of ' '.

Posted Aug 5, 2013So in the latest update (v1.0.3), the time string changed to seconds. If you're using an old config.yml you will need to update the config by simply remove it or change the name. By doing that a new config.yml will be created next time the server restarts.
When you've done that set a new time. you will no longer need to multiply the seconds with 20 so if you want the delay to be 10 seconds set the time string to 10.
If you have any questions post a comment about it!

Posted Jun 30, 2013Sorry about this weeks previous upload. I found major bugs that I didn't find when I quickly made v.1.0.2 one late night :P
This time I've made sure there's no major bugs!
But look at me still talking when there's science to do...
