    I just installed it, it looks great! But I wish the server name was in the plugin config so I do not have to restart every time I want to change the name

    I don't get what your on about much.

    I gather u want to host it on your own severs maybe that could have been an option but frankly its much more hassle to host your own then to just let a hoster do it for you and besides you're using bugger all of your OWN bandwidth this way as the hoster is most likely using a PAID Web host of some kinds that he probably uses for his own website for his server and has an abundent of bandwidth and wants to share it with u for free.

    Id would not be anything but gratefull.

    @OP

    looks good will give it shot - u got any data on local bandwidth useage ?

    Virtually nothing, your looking at approximately: 27 bytes in and 65 bytes out once a minute.

    /reload will update your server name under Bukkit no need to restart your server :)

    ...and on the tangent of listing the dyndns names for the IP, be sure there's adequate space for the names to not run over things like port # and such.

    For example:

    So yeah, I wrote an open-source plugin which lets people create their own advertising free banner hosted on their own minecraft server. Yay. :p OPENSOURCE FTW!

    Yes we are looking into that, the images will need to be the size of the large banner, no text required.

    An example of what your looking for is:-
    [​IMG]

    While the name of the site where you can get the plugin is technically advertising, its only so others know where to get it from, so hardly bad.

    Also hosting banners on a minecraft server is a bad idea, LAG!!

    Looks good simpler then Minequerys is lol.

    Btw Im actually offering to attempt to make more banners for you for the time being until users can upload there own I'm willing to apply effects and things to ones you have to give different variations.

    I believe I pointed that out to the guy who was whining coz he could not use this to host with.
    I just dont why he was complain I'm just gratefull I dont have to host it myself and its free. I already host dynmap but thats not too bad as its not a constant thing that is showing 24 hours a day.

    That's one reason not to use the hostname tbh as they can be very long and there is limited space, so possibly better to stick with the IP on the graphic but generated from the hostname each time.
    That way it will always fit and be up to date, what do you think?

    Adding a drop down for some alternative backgrounds would be quicker to develop than custom uploads so if your willing to do some alternatives for people that would be cool IMO, see the example background above as a template.

    I think it'll work out well. As you can see (at this time), I have put the banners up so you can see the differences.

    Not really any lag - consider the banner is 30kb and being served from the BukkitHTTPD plugin - so causes no noticeable lag at all. See that signature of mine? Served directly from my minecraft server, with an up-to-date player list and infinitely customisable themes.

    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-web-bukkithttpd-0-0-3-now-with-themable-signatures-803.17201/

    I've been using it on my server since I first wrote it, and there's been no lag. You're welcome to test it yourself and let me know if there is any lag.

    Sure will get onto it to start with ill do colore changes of the one u posted for me and tints then move on to completely new and varied ones.

    I already got the one u sent me :p, do you plan at some point maybe introduce custom uploads ?

    Im going to assume the informaiton displayed is a static display and cannot be moved around the banner "if it is not let me know" there for I will keep only small img to the left and leave the right side of the banners free and clean as per example.

    You can paste in dns entry to the viewer search option but currently it will resolve it and used that from then onwards.

    We will look at updating that so it stores and uses that for lookups each time in the future.

    I like to host scripts by myself so they can't be edited with advertisements, etc. Or changed in the future without notice. Also, unlimited bandwidth (datacenter) doesn't cost me anything. Even if, I could simply pay the cheap 10c per gig. Also I don't use a "Web Host", but I do sell it if you want.

    Thx but I have a webhost, I guess your probably an owner of an ISP or ceo of some other ISP backbone infrastructure man I wish I had those kinds of resources. The closest that that I will probably get that is being a network techy for an ISP . I get your point now tho and its not a bad point tbh.

    We're considering it but most of them wouldnt fit, so we may not do it, or we may do it if they fit falling back to the IP if they don't.

    If you're still having issues download v1.0b and drop me a PM with your server IP / Port so we can look at it for you.
