[MISC] SpoutText 1.00 - Place text anywhere [1000]

SpoutText - Place Text Anywhere!
Download: JAR




SpoutText lets you, via a configuration file, place text anywhere!
In the location: in the config.yml file, you can use the following things:

• top-left
• top-right
• bottom-left
• bottom-right (very little space)
• health

Spout Client Mod IS NEEDED SO STOP ASKING.

You can modify the colour of the text by using HTML HEX Code (eg. FFFFFF for white, FF0000 for red).

Features

• Can reload the config using /spouttext

Permissions (Permissions 2.x, 3.x, GroupManager and PEX)
spouttext.use = Lets you use /spouttext to reload the config.

Known Bugs
None

To-Do
Add names for the HTML HEX.

Changelog
1.00 - Released

 

Question, how would those hex codes be used exactly? Great plugin for the rest. Oh, and spouttext reload is broken.

 

Something like a global On/off Command for Admins would be cool.
Example:
I just want to show a info text for 10 seconds or something like that and not permanent.

 

No, it's just /spouttest. Nothing else.
Hex Codes: FFFFFF is white. Look them up.

 

Hi CainFoool,

Nice work again.
Can't test now (my Spout client doesn't work anymore), but I will.
Is there a way to make (in the future) a "playlist" to show differents texts (and I hope at different places)?

 

Ahh, typing reload gave an error and removed the texts/


I know what hex codes are, but not how to use them.

EG, %FFFFFF%MyText
or FFFFFFMyText
Got the problem?


Edit: Still throws an error without the reload, ill see if I can copy it over, it's problematic because its rather long and I run it in Screen.

 

Make sure you're not putting in any spaces. I will fix it later.

 

Mmm, alright. This is the current file config :

Code:

spout:
    position: top-left
    text: Welcome to **notadvertising**! (Version 0.7.5)
    position: bottom-right
    text: /Rules for Rules

it INSISTS on removing the top piece, but why? :\

 

Sorry but .. as he said before.. How wo use fkn colour .. red is givin me eyecancer

 

#000000
#C0C0C0

 

Can you make it so that you have text floating within the world, not just in the GUI? Sort of like Augmented Reality apps on phones?

 

It seems like I have a general problem with Spout!
Your plugin doesn't work for me. If I join I get this error:

I need help!
EDIT: I made a new server with Spout, Spouttext and Essentials and it worked! oO
I think there's one plugin having a problem with Spout...

 

This happened to me as well if I used /spouttext to reload the config. If I restarted the server or reloaded all plugins it worked fine.

 

Please don't forget to add your plugin to the wiki http://wiki.bukkit.org/Spout/Plugins

 

Okay... not workin..
whether i use
spout:
position: bottom-right
text:#535334BAMcraft.de
or
spout:
position: bottom-right
text:#535334 BAMcraft.de

(Yes YAML/Phyton Syntax..)
It always sets to default after restart...

 

Superperms support please

 

Could you make it so it displays online players, and if online players is over x (configurable) it would flip through them at 10 names 10 secounds

 

Actually its:
position: bottom-right
text: BAMcraft.de
color: 535334

 

Exactly what I have been asking for, thank you!

 

can you make it so that we can change it on the fly from inside the game?
so welcome to our server becomes SERVER GOING DOWN FOR UPDATE IN 10 MINUTES for example

and have it cycle between multiple text lines

1) welcome to our server
2) do not swear
3) do not grief
4) no bunnies
5) no mimes
6) have fun

 

Nice idea, could be possible to display dynamic stuff. For example to show the speed of a player?

This surely requires client mod right? you should mention that in all your plugins to make it easier for you

 

The 'reconnect to see the changes' instruction is incorrect. using /spouttext tells me to do that, but when i relog i get the following error:

I end up having to do a full reboot of the server to see the changes.

Also, the text is always entered from the left, no matter where it is positioned. This results in text being cut-off if it's in the top-right and too long.

 

There is no way for me to align it if it's too long.
Technically there is but it would take a really long time.
Just try and keep the text short.

Top-left is the best place for text or the health.

 

Yeah, the problem being that's where SpoutWallet puts its text by default.

 

Seconded!

 

Arg it just wont work here is my config the top left text is not there

Code:

spout:
    position: top-left
    text: Welcome on haschtekaschtes Server =)
    position: health
    text: Your Health
    color: FFFFFF

 

thanks easy,basic and useful

 

It doesnt work..

Code:

spout:
    position: top-right
    text: MyCraft V.5. Spout is required!
    color: FFFFFF

 

Is it possible to put it on a timer so after a certain amout of time new text will appear. Could have 5 different things cycle through in one spot.
