    I recently saw a plugin on a server (IP - Eu.lightpvp.net) It had text scrolling on a boss bar
    Like actually moving.. I don't think the plugin is public,I couldn't find anything about it..

    Though your better off just joining the server to get a better example..

    I'm pretty sure theres a text limit for boss bars,I think it's a max of 64 characters,So they must be just showing boss bars over and over just starting each one's text off at were the last one left off..

    Anybody willing to make a simplier version of this,So I don't have to use something to keep adding and removing boss bars?

    The idea:

    Name doesn't matter

    Permissions don't matter to me,unless someone else wants them added

    I'm thinking just a config were you can set sentece's any size and how long to display the boss bar for total.
    So if I set it at like 5 seconds but its kinda long,It would go by fast

    Also support for multiple messages
    So It can go from a few sentece's to more and more

    The plugin would of course have to split the sentece at each 64 characters.

    "I'm pretty sure theres a text limit for boss bars,I think it's a max of 64 characters,So they must be just showing boss bars over and over just starting each one's text off at were the last one left off.." - This is what they do..

    Your not able to change the text size, but can add effect like bold or italics.If your a plugin developer, your able to make it using BarApi. which can be found on bukkit plugins.I will make this plugin shortly for you if i have time

    Also check out http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/boss-bar-automessage/ -! im not for sure if they have the scrolling text, but give it a try, If it dosent then i will start working on the plugin for you

    Sooooo basically, you want us to rip off another server's idea so you could use it on your own? I don't see how that's fair to them and to the Devs who made that plugin. Copying off another server on here is severely frowned upon, I highly doubt anyone will take on this plugin.

    Scrolling bar was also on my mind, and I barely play on other servers.

    Actually this isn't another servers idea, I have seen this multiple times on several different servers. Although he took a picture from a different server that doesn't mean it was the servers idea.

    This is not copying.

    Scrolling text has been around since the dawn of time, and is nothing new. This is a simple request to make it happen.

    It's not about the scrolling text, It's about the logic of going on servers, taking someone else's idea and telling people to copy it, not going to go into too much detail here, it is more of personal preference that everyone attempts to be as original as possible. Once again, personal opinion.

    (I don't really care, just trying to promote creativity because without creativity, there will be nothing new.)

    Crud41 Just cause it is not a new idea does not mean that it can not be done in an innovative way. Most things are just a better thing of another thing.
