[INFO] Tips 1.1 - periodic server messages [1.1]

Tips - periodic server messages:
Version: v1.1

BukkitDev project page

This plugin will allow you to set custom messages to be broadcasted by the server periodically.
A similar plugin with more features is rTriggers.

Features:

• Global, per-world and per-group (via permissions) tips
• Use colour codes on your tips
• Different sets of tips with different periods
• Show tips randomly or sequentially
• Configurable in settings file (plugins/Tips/config.yml)
• /tips reload command to reload the config file, available to ops or users with "tips.reload" permission, if Permissions is installed

 

hello, thanks for your plugins it work well, but something is missing, the ability to send messages to one or more group.
i wanted to use it to repeat the rules to guest and newbuilder groups
advancedbuilder, moderator and admin groups don't need to recieve those messages.

thanks

 

Alright this is the best tips plugin I could find so I would really like to get it working. I created the folder Tips and put the config.yml inside copied everything from the example config here and put it inside, restarted the server, and when I try to use the reload command it says it's an unknown console command, and it never displays any tips. What could be the problem?

 

Code:

Could not load 'plugins/Tips.jar' in folder 'plugins':
unacceptable character #FFFD special characters are not allowed
in "<reader>", position 210

Please Help me (=

 

Oh nice,
a mysql support would be great! So if you have an WebSite you can do the "tips" from the website with a php script into the mysql database and it would be very easy to control. Maybe you can add a mysql support if not its pity but no problem

How about a command for individual users to prevent these messages from being sent to them.

 

is ther ea way to set it to where you have a random msg apear every 20 min

 

can some oen plz help me with this

 

disabling tips per player?

 

Wanted a plugin exactly like this for a while, wish I found it sooner!

 

This plugin is perfect, simple, and effective. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a simple tip/message sender that's easy to manage but also provides world specific messages. Other competing plugins can be harder to maintain/complicated or just does more than the user needs. Been using it on my server for over a month now and I'm happy with the results.

 

This plugin doesn't work for me
It doesn't display any tips on my server.
There are no errors on the logs, btw.

 

Thank you works great!

 

I mean like could you add a command to disable tips for a single player (yourself) ? And permissions support for that?

 

Lol. All I want for Christmas is a clean console! Is there anyway to stop it printing to console? Because my console is spammed with 60 messages a hours xD. Too much clutter to read though.

 

im using bpermissions, adding the plugin wont evne create a tips folder, used to work on 1.7

i made my own tips foler+config.yml
added the lines in example, i t does give tips

but it wont let me do any commands.. giving the bukkit is sad awnser

Whats wrong with this config?

Code:

# tips by world, or 'global' for all worlds
# delay/period is in minutes
# color code: $x, where x is the color code [0-9a-f]

global:
    - period: 1000
      tips:
          - "$3O mundo Treba e' alojado pelo R3DSMiLE"

world:
    # every 5 minutes, one of those 3 messages
    - period: 20
      tips:
          - $6INFOtip: $fblog @ http://minetreba.wordpress.com
          - $BPROTip: $fpassa pela sala dos /comandos
          - $fPVP e roubar e' permitido
          - $fJunta-te a um $B/clan
          - $BPROTip: $fO mercado tem comida a venda
          - $6INFOtip: $fIdeias ou Sugestoes? usa o blog

 

It will work if you put quotes around every tip.

 

Download link broken.

 

Well, the whole point of being random is not having quotes
Also, i got it working by writing a new one from the raw example and avoiding : and ;

I am getting a 404 when trying to download the tips.jar (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4349335/Tips.jar)

 

link is down

 

I messed up the link when updating, it's back up now.

 

it output all double

 

Anyone else getting "Bukkit Sad" when trying to use /tips reload ?

 

Could you add a permission that makes it where a user doesnt see the tips like "tips.exempt" For vip members?

 

Could someone please tell me how the text color codes work?

 

Is this going to be updating? Would love it if it did. Very simple to use!

 

Why? It still works fine for me with RB 1.01-R1 (build 1597)
