SimpleAnnouncer
Have you ever been baffled by just how complicated some announcer plugins are? Do you want really simple per-world, per-group, and even per-permission announcements? Want commands to be run before or after announcements? Well this is the plugin for you!

Found a bug? Let me know here.
SimpleAnnouncer only has 1 command with 4 options:
- /sa - Displays the help page - SimpleAnnouncer.sa
- /sa start - Starts announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.start
- /sa stop - Stops announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.stop
- /sa reload - Reloads the plugin - SimpleAnnouncer.reload
NOTICE: You need the permission: SimpleAnnouncer.sa to use any of the other options. You can also use the wildcard SimpleAnnouncer.* which gives access to everything
The configuration file for this plugin has become too large to display here. You can find the full configuration file here. There you will also find information about how to use per permission/world/group announcements, as well as information on how to run commands before and after announcements.
You can use all the colour and style codes in the Tag and your Announcements! So all you have to do is add your messages to the Announcements section and let the Plugin do the work.

Known Bugs

So I'm confused, all I want is to announce messages to everybody. But you have these sections with groups and worlds and permissions. I don't care about any of that, I want everybody wherever they are in this server to get the same exact messages. What do I have to change in the config so that it does that? I don't see any clear explanation for this config file.
@pokeonimac Thanks! It's always great to hear praise :)
@PinguCraftBR Do you mean like SHUFFLE mode?
@ThisUsernameIsMine Sure! I'll add this feature in version 2.1!
Is it possible to split announcements over multiple lines when they don't fit on one line?
If possible, how can it be done?
Great plugin btw! :-)
Hello, can you make an option in config.yml to don't repeat the announcements, all are shown just one time? Since now, thank you, your plugin is really incredible :)
I've found many "Simple Announcers", and thought this would be another one of those supposedly "easy" or "simple" ones and I almost turned away... but I was drawn in by your logo design and decided to try it. Good work!
Version 2.0 Released
After a few days of testing and hacking away at SimpleAnnouncer with Mach12, SimpleAnnouncer version 2.0 has been released! This version contains a whole load of awesome new features. Where to start hey? Well this is what has been added:
Take a look at the config and you'll notice it's changed slightly. This new update adds the ability to make your announcements go to exactly who you want them to. With per world, permission and group announcements, you'll be able to really control your announcements.
You can now run commands before or after announcements have been announced.
Not loads, just a couple :)
Woop woop!
Thanks for your support and I guess we're all looking forward to SimpleAnnouncer 2.1! Gimmie a shout if you have any feature requests, I'll add them in asap. Also, if you would like any tags that relate to other plugins (like MCMMO levels for example) then let me know!
@malteee
Your config has a typo, that's why it's showing an error.
Works for me in 1.6.2, latest dev build.
@Mach12
If you're the plugin tester, why would you comment saying it's an awesome plugin and it didn't work, etc.. o.o
Awesome plugin! I needed time to understand how the new config file works, but now it works perfectly!
Got this error with 1.6.2 and SimpleAnnouncer V1.9
Are you back from holiday? If so, please update!
The plugin worked for a while, then it started using the default announcements which weren't even in the config.yml file. I'm thinking having to generate a new config file...
@kezz101
No worries. The rollback worked. Good luck on finding and fixing the bugs.
@rbonafied I've updated the main page with information about this error. I recommend that you rollback to a previous version that is known to work (1.9). Sorry for any problems I have caused.
I just started seeing this in the error log. I'm going to need to rollback to a previous version that I've used for a long time.
Hi,
I could use a little help. I'm using v2.0 of this plugin. With the default configuration, I noticed no-one actually received the announcements except the console. Then I changed the world section to be 1: 'myworld'. Still the announcements didn't go to the folks connected. Then I set Bother to false. Still no announcements to logged in users. What am I doing wrong?
@HarryWills Sorry if I sound rude here but there is no way that SimpleAnnouncer would delete your permissions. SimpleAnnouncer does not and will not ever do this. It is impossible for SimpleAnnouncer to delete your permissions and if it did, the Bukkit Dev staff would not let it on this website.
@Builder432 I've finished and uploaded it now. Just waiting for the Bukkit Dev staff to approve the file. If you subscribe to file updates here then you will be emailed when it is approved!
@NLBlackEagle
It deleted my permissions for some reason, after I deleted the plugin and reuploaded the permissionsEX file it seems to work fine again.
@kezz101
kezz101 you said Version 2.0 that would have the per world announcements feature that would be released at the end of April and i still can't find the download for Version 2.0 so can i please get a link or an ETA on Version 2.0.
@Hangar Version 2.0 (containing per-world announcements) will be released tonight.
@NLBlackEagle Err I don't think either of the two announcement plugins would cause this. I can't speak for AutoAnnouncer but SimpleAnnouncer doesn't even touch the config file, the level.dat file or any other plugin's configuration. It seems like the problem is with another plugin...
Uhm, seems like this plugin kinda glitched the whole server, Loading the worlds doesnt goes as it should go, portals also doesnt work anymore...
I wonder what the name of the config file is, It might overwritten another plugin with the same config name
[Edit] Wow, it deleted my level.dat :O And more, but what? Lets see... Something happend with the My Worlds plugin, none of the portals work anymore...
SOLVED
It glitched with Autoannouncer. ofcourse... How logic
