[INFO] ServerEvents 1.5.2 - Replace TwitterEvents, DeathNotify [BukkitDev]

Note: the original plugin and almost all of the work done on it is by croemmich. He doesn't have the time to work on it any longer, so he's allowed me to maintain it.

ServerEvents on BukkitDev

ServerEvents prints customizable messages to chat, Twitter, a database, or to a file.



If you appreciate this plugin, you are welcome to .

For usage info, head over to BukkitDev.

Thanks to mrgreaper for the idea and messages!

 

man you are a star ! thank you thank you thank you!

 

Finally, someone has filled the shoes of TwitterEvents!

 

where do we place the xml file ?

love the sense of humour in the example xml...must of been created by a comic genius (though i have heard he is not very modest)

 

Just run the server once with plugin in the directory and it will be created.

 

Just set up on my server Kaida http://twitter.com/kaidamc

 

can i be cheeky and ask for a further feature? can you have it say the twitter line into the servers chat as it posts it (preferably prefixed with a name)
for example our server has just today been named M.A.X. (minecraft and xtreme) so in the chat it would say
MAX [server] : im a little teapot short and stout

im working on expanding the xml file, heres what i have so far (id post a mo ago but there was an error..thats fixed now and it works!) feel free to add this to the first post and to the plugin

Here's a request since I never found this via hMod. Can it report when the time of day changes (day, dawn, dusk, night)? That would be a huge help!

 

may need to look over the xml file he has copyed my very bad typing lol (i was typing on the iphone and im dyslexic)

 

yah i just edited the xml a bit.... i kinda go for set up now fix later.... drives my users insane sometimes... lucky for me they are all my friends (I screen my players well.)

 

yeah we have a similier apporach, i will be adding to the xml file and so long as the plugin creator is ok with it, posting it here. ill try to keep it generic but there may end up being some of our server specifics in it (plugins we use and such like but ill save that for the end draft lol)

im at work so bored as hell so theres liable to be lots of lines added, after all more lines less repetitive it is
--- merged: Jan 24, 2011 9:54 PM ---
when you have edited my bad spelling out paste it into http://www.w3schools.com/Dom/dom_validate.asp, i submited an xml a little while ago that didnt work, put it through that found the error fixed it and reposted (the one above works perfectly)

 

I'm working on the ability to display messages to chat as well as fixing a bug due to twitter not allowing duplicate statuses.

 

an updated xml (will add more 2morro but should really do some work now lol)

Code:

Great work on the addon can't wait for the server chat messages.

If I remember correctly twitter events just added the time to get around the duplicate messages in twitter.

 

Anyway you could port this to actually show it on chat? Considering how there is currently no death message of any kind available, and I really like the random death messages .

 

if thats the case then the more lines i add to the xml, the less chance of duplicate lines appearing (and i plan to add a hell of a lot more lol)

 

That's what I did also. I'll have a new release up shortly.

 

nice update thank you

at work 2morro i will add more lines to it got our group brain storming (all family friendly due to the nature of our server)

 

if you have a non alphabetical character in the output string it puts an @ in there

example:
<join enabled="true">
<msg>%n has joined.</msg>
</join>

becomes:
seriosbrad has joined.@

 

I have it running fine, but I did come across this error.

Thank you for the great plugin!

 

Are you running 1.1? This should no longer be an issue.
--- merged: Jan 25, 2011 4:37 AM ---

I'll try to strip those out on the next release.

 

For some odd reason what ever number i try for keep_old, there are always 5 lines in server_events.txt. I have tried these values:4, 5, 6, 25 and 100. I'm sure server event is being read because if I change enable to false it stops producing the updates to the file as expected.

 

I put the fix in to version 1.1. Re-download 1.1 if you are already running it.

 

quick one as im falling asleep at my pc, me and the other main admin exited and the messages that displayed on the console are different to the ones on twitter, its not a major problem ofcourse but a wierd one...

right sleep per chance to dream

 

The shoes of TwitterEvents have space for other plugins to hook them. =p

 

Actually a thought of mine about an hour ago

 

Should be sleeping but it's just been pointed out to me the server is no longer posting random messages every 30 mins, there's no players active on it at mo could that be the cause?

 

If there are not any players on the server, it does not post random messages. I can make that configurable if you would like.

 

It makes it easier to see activity this way so I'm happy with that but adding config incase others want it is always good , right must turn off iPhone lol

 

As much as I like the default XML, some of the death messages just didn't cut it for me due to well... grammar issues xD

Here's my death messages:
