Installation

Visit our downloads page and download the latest version of ZavAutoMessager! Here is the downloads list.
You should have downloaded a file called "ZavAutoMessager.jar", take that file and place it in the plugins folder of your server.
Restart or Reload your server.
Done!

Configuration

Once the plugin has been successfully installed, a folder should automatically be generated in your plugins folder called "ZavAutoMessager".
Enter that folder and inside you should find a file called "config.yml". Open this file with a text editor to start configuring ZavAutoMessager.

Once you have opened the file, this should be the default config that you see:

# Default config for ZavAutoMessager.
# Visit http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/zavautomessager/ for more help
# Plugin created by the ZavCoding Team
# Authors: javoris767 and zachoooo.
# Make sure all your messages are inside of single quotes. (This makes sure that color and special characters work properly)
# If you want to make your own line breaks MAKE SURE WORDWRAP IS FALSE!!! Custom line breaks are only supported when wordwrap is off.
# Update checking requires an internet connection.
# Set update checking to false if you have no internet connection or you have a very strict firewall.

enabled: true

wordwrap: true

delay: 60 # In Seconds

permissionsenabled: false # If true, only people with permission can view the message.

chatformat: '[&6AutoMessager&f]: %msg'

messageinrandomorder: false # Should the messages be displayed in a random order

updatechecking: true

messagesinconsole: true

requireplayersonline: true

dontrepeatrandommessages: true

    default:
    - '&6Example Message'
    - 'Thanks for choosing this plugin :D!'
    - 'Test Message'

    someother.permission:
    - 'Only people with the someother.permission node can see this'
    another.node:
    - 'Only people with the another.node node can see this'

Here is an explanation for the config:

delay	Amount of seconds in between each message	60

messages	Set the messages that will be displayed in the chat	List of chat messages
updatechecking	Set if you want the plugin to check the internet for updates	true
messagesinconsole	Set if you want messages to appear in console	true
requireplayersonline	Set if you want messages to send only if a player is online	true
dontrepeatrandommessages	Set to true if you don't want random messages to be repeated	true

Using the term default will make it visible to everyone. All other nodes you will need to give to people for them to see it

So i'm getting this error in the console:

01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:573) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:409) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.MinecraftServer.q(MinecraftServer.java:476) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.DedicatedServer.r(DedicatedServer.java:225) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.MinecraftServer.r(MinecraftServer.java:512) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_5_R2.scheduler.CraftScheduler.mainThreadHeartbeat(CraftScheduler.java:345) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_5_R2.scheduler.CraftTask.run(CraftTask.java:53) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at com.zavteam.plugins.RunnableMessager.run(RunnableMessager.java:28) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at com.zavteam.plugins.RunnableMessager.getRandomMessage(RunnableMessager.java:57) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO at java.util.Random.nextInt(Random.java:300) 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] INFO java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: n must be positive 01.05 19:51:27 [Server] WARNING Task #43498 for ZavAutoMessager v2.5 generated an exception

My config is error free and i added the permission nodes to the groups.

Here is the config:

enabled: true
wordwrap: true
delay: 300
permissionsenabled: true
chatformat: '&e##&r %msg &e##'
messageinrandomorder: true
updatechecking: true
messagesinconsole: true
requireplayersonline: true
dontrepeatrandommessages: true
messages:
  Message.Quest:
  - 'Hey Welcome to the server! Do &4/rules&r to read the rules and &4/register&r apply for build rights.'
  - 'Cant build? Type &4/register&r to get build rights. (Can take up to 24 hours to be accepted)'
  - '&4Welcome&r to the server! Be sure to read the signs at spawn!'
  - 'You could always help us out and donate! Do &4/buy&r.'
  - 'Visit our site&4 http://survivalblox.webs.com/ &rfor server updates and a forum.'
  - 'Skip the /register thing, And just donate!&4&n http://goo.gl/jdRJK'
  Message.Player:
  - 'Vote for us now!&4 http://survivalblox.webs.com/vote &rAnd get 5 Xp Levels!'
  - 'Help support the server! do /buy and donate! or go to ->&4 http://goo.gl/jdRJK.'
  - 'Got griefed?! Do &c/report <Message Here>&r. And we will handle it!'
  - 'Visit our site&4 http://survivalblox.webs.com/ &rfor server updates and a forum.'
  - 'Play 48 hours on this server and get a Special rank!'
  Message.Donators:
  - 'Sick of these messages?! do &4/automessager ignore&r to ignore them!'
  - 'Want to see all the commands available to you? do &4/warp CommandRoom'

Am i forgetting something or doing something wrong?

Thanks, Clbrend.

@Ties_v_Asseldonk: Go

You get to set your own permissions nodes :) Just like how it shows you how those messages are in the default group, just make a guest group. If you're still having trouble, try the config generator linked to on the front page

I'm havving some issues with the permissions.

I have a few messagees set up, but I want that only the people in the Guest rank will se them. In the config I have set the permissions to true:

permissionsenabled: true # If true, only people with permission can view But now I need to know what the permission node for this message is.

I'm sure it's in big bold letters in the front page of this plugin and that i'm just not looking good enough, but could anyone help?
