Discussion in 'Inactive/Unsupported Plugins' started by RedFalKon, Jan 31, 2011.

  1. AutoMessage (Version 1.5a)

    Attention: There is currently an issue with AutoMessage v1.5a on CB Build #1185 which causes duplicate console output, in-game messages are unaffected however, this will be fixed in v1.6.

    A Simple Automatic Message plugin developed upon request from:
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tip-message.2933/

    This Plugin allows multiple messages to be broadcast serverwide at a set interval. The default time between messages is around 20 Seconds. This can be changed in the configuration file "automessages.properties".

    Installation
    1. Copy "plugins\AutoMessage.jar" to your CraftBukkit Server Plugins Directory.
    2. Copy "plugins\automessages.properties" to your CraftBukkit Server Plugins Directory.
    Commands

    • /reloadmsg - Reload the Message Configuration File (OPs Only)
    Adding Messages


    New Messages can be added by creating a new line in the properties file in the form of "msg=[message]".
    Code:
    msg=This is a Sample Message !
    Colours can now be used in messages with the $ prefix
    Code:
    msg=$cHello $eAll!
    Multiple Lines can now also be used in messages with $n

    Code:
    msg=Hello All!$nA New Line
    Colour Codes:
    Show (open)

    Black = $0
    Dark Blue = $1
    Dark Green = $2
    Dark Aqua = $3
    Dark Red= $4
    Dark Purple = $5
    Gold = $6
    Gray = $7
    Dark Grey = $8
    Blue = $9

    Where can i find a list of all the color codes? Thanks!
     
  3. This will be a feature of the newest release as the plugin will send messages to each person rather than the entire server to allow users to specify if they wish to have automatic messages or not.

    Check for the Colour Codes section in the OP

    @RedFalKon Enjoying this so far. Can you suppress messages when there are no users currently logged in? My console log fills up with messages that no one is reading.

    I'd like to ask this in reverse. What is the point of sending messages when there is no one around to read them? It should be an easy condition to add. In pseudocode:
    Code:
    timercallback()
    {
       if (server.getPlayerCount() > 0)
          chat.printMessage(message.next());
    }

    i've a other good idea : $s underline s$
    $b bolt b$
    $i italic i$
     
  9. That is currently impossible due to how Minecraft displays text. Only the standard text formatting and colours will work when displaying messages in the game.

    For me they only show the first tip when reloading the whole server, but after that it wont show any messages, and /reloadmsg just gives me another error. And i am only one who can see that first message, no one else. Any idea what could be wrong?

    PLUGIN WORKS FINE WITH CB#1597 (first recommended 1.0.1-R1 build)​

    I have a (exactly it's two) suggestion(s) for a new feature:
    Usercount-dependencies and show-rate!

    Messages are shown when a usercount of x is reached. Messages are shown y-times as many as other messages.

    So for example:
    msg=Hello people! check out the forums!|1:1
    it shows the message when there is at least 1 player on the server and it is shown in a rate of 1.

    msg=Server is nearly full! Get premium to not-be in the danger of getting kicked!|25:5
    this message is shown when 25 players are on the server (if you have 30 slots for example) and is shown 5 times as much as a message with rate 1.

    Maybe this can be extended to:
    msg=Server is full! Get premium to avoid being kicked!|28:5;29:8;30:10
    This message is shown 5 times more often with 28 players, 8x with 29 and 10x with 30 players.


    Edit:
    This is, because the Automessage "spams" my Server.log, even if there is no one online. ;)

    Very interesting, however, I don't want the members of my server to see these messages! Could there be some permission support for as to who can see these messages? That'd be very helpful <3

    This brings in a new idea... or an extension of the quoted one:

    Make 5 blocks with messages. Every block has its own permission-node. So for example:
    block one:
    msg=blabla
    block two
    msg=testmessage
    block three... and so on.

    Now the permission-nodes would be like:
    automsg.block.one to see block one.
    automsg.block.* to see them all.
    automsg.hide to see no messages.

    And for every block you can set if random or not... and how often it is shown. oh! and the player-dependency and display-rate. :D

    I guess I could write down a combined extension-idea for this plugin... in .config-file style.

    Can you add a command to be able to broadcast at anytime if you need to instead of having to wait to preview your broadcast?
