#
# ScheduledAnnouncer Configuration File
# =====================================
#
# Don't use tabs in *.yml file!
#
 
announcement:
    # Use this flag to temporary disable the announcements.
    # enabled: false, means that there wouldn't be any announcements.
    enabled: true
 
    # Set this to true will announce in random order.
    # 'false' will announce in sequential (one after another) order.
    random: false
 
    # Defines the prefix for the announcement. Use & + hex char
    # for color codes.
    prefix: '&c[Announcement] '
 
    # The time of one interval in seconds.
    interval: 100
 
    # List of messages to announce. You could use color codes by
    # using & + hex chars too. &n will produce a new line.
    messages:
    - 'This is the first default announcement!'
    - 'Use /announce help to get info how to config this plugin.'
    - 'You can also configure this plugin with its config.yml too!'

Approved, moved RB to end of title.

 

When i set the interval to more than 10 seconds it stop announcing eventually, please help

 

I tried to set my intervals to 3600 so they appear every hour, but they seem to appear every couple of minutes.

 

Sorry, I was not able to reply due to the 502 errors. Anyway, this was fixed in the latest release. You can download it from the updated download link.

As I said before, I was unable to reply due to the errors. Anyway, this issue was also fixed in the latest release, and can be downloaded from the updated download link.

FINALLY!!!!!! an announcer that works and makes sense

 

Hi, useful plugin and I'm using it on my CBS 1.2.5.
One note - it is making an error with random option ON. I have 40+ announcements but tried it with 5, and the same error occured, something with array size. When random option is off the plugin works fine.

 

Dehzz I was almost positive that was fixed in the latest release. Have you tried version 2.2?

Glad to hear you are enjoying it

Woah, this is extremely sexy. We can do our own commands? Brilliant.
EDIT: Please upgrade to dev, this is like the first announcer working in ages

 

I am using dev, if I know what your talking about. Just click the download link . And thanks for your input!

 

[ADMIN] is supposed to be [ADMN] . . . Not supposed to be an I in it. JS

 

Unfortunately, I am not able to edit titles

 

This is one awesome plugin.

 

Glad to see you like it!

 

looks like an epic plugin but i get this when i reload my server:

Lol, they are here:

ERRORRRSSS!!!!! All I did was put '&6message' I think its the &6 or &2 etc stuff that's causing it, it worked before PERFECTLY, now all of a sudden it doesn't work... I even reset the config file and repasted it.... Still didn't work....

EDIT: Redid all the phrases, but by copying and pasting them without the quotes then putting the quots after...

 

Reading the error helps

Glad you are enjoying it!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Unless, of course, it's not in human understanding, I did fix what it said to fix, but it didn't fix it xD But all is good now. Great plugin man!

 

Thanks for the input!

 

What a great plugin ! Thanks ! But the &n dosn't work .

 

Bug:

Players see the announcement TWICE instead of once.
Any way to fix this?
Server restart doesnt help, no error in logs, starts normally.
Using the newest possible version of plugin

 

That would be a bug in Spout. Think it got fixed in the latest dev builds.

 

switched to another plugin atm for while. But this should get fixed anyway

 

Thats fine, though I cant fix it. Its completely Spouts fault.

 

so spout must fix this?
how doesnt this announcer im using wont have this happening? :O its basicly 100% like urs in config , some bit changes thats all. odd

 

Many plugins, including essentials are having this issue. I would assume that you have either updated spout already or are not using messages longer than one line long. The new code for line wrapping is what caused this issue. You can see here that many people have this issue. http://forums.spout.org/threads/double-text-error.2492/

 

Well dont know , i suppose i have up to date spout it would tell its outdated i believe.
Also this new Zavsmessager doesn't do that it wont show double messages and ive never got double message FROM COMMANDS

 

Again, probably because my commands use up more than one line, which uses the word wrapping function
