Plugin category: ADMIN Suggested name: Events A bit about me: I'm a server owner that has been long searching for a plugin like I am about to describe. What I want: I would like a plugin that allows you to in game add server events to an announcer. So you can add the event, and it broadcasts the events to the server. Like faction battles, auctions, etc. I think this would be great for all server owners! Ideas for commands: /events add <event name> <time> <time zone> <description> <date>, and then /events remove <event name>. Ideas for permissions: events.addevent, events.removeevent When I'd like it by: Whenever would be nice! Similar plugin requests: None.
I might just go ahead and try to make something like this. I'm guessing just generating a config file and reading the contents of the events in the config file. Would that be the easiest way to go about doing it?
I'm not sure I know what you want. Once you create an event, would it be announced automatically on a regular basis? If it's only being announced once then many chat plugins have a /broadcast or similar command that would do what you want.
You might check out this: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/commandticks/ Lets you set up a whole slew of automatic.. anything, anything that's a command. It doesn't have commands, but it's possible I might add them, along with a few methods that let you broadcast, etc, without your server already needing the command.
