This is really helpful! Thank-you. But, I'm such a newb. Got stuck at putting .jar file into the spigot buildtools folder (where exactly?) and then running terminal (are you on a Mac?). Wondering if you have seen someone do a video of this? Can you point me in the right direction? I would be most grateful! Momibelle
In reply to Momibelle:
(you asked awhile ago but I thought I might as well help anyway)
If anyone wants to run this on spigot 1.9 and later you will need to remap some legacy methods as mentioned here in this post (under craftbukkit).
Basically, download the jar here, on bukkitdev (should be named Announcement.jar). Then put the jar in the spigot buildtools folder and run this command from a terminal (command prompt, etc.):
Then use the Announcement-1.9.jar instead of the previous file and everything should work fine! I've done this in order in continue using this plugin on my server, no issues so far.

This appears to have broken in Spigot 1.9: http://pastebin.com/JSVwVYJT
And I know it says 1.0.3 in the traceback, but I just confirmed it is the same plugin file that's posted as 1.0.4 here. I think you forgot to update the version number in the code.
I really love this Plugin :D BUT I have 1 problem... When I set random: true in Config and then start the Server it resets to random: false Please help D:

I'll second this, it's kind of annoying to have it not work from console actually :-) This is actually the first plugin I've run into that the commands didn't work from console, so it surprised me.
i need the 1.7.2 version D:
Really love this plugin, Been using it ever since i released my server. So simple and fast.
Just keep updating it.
@tomwilson5
Oh, yep, that worked. Thanks. :)
@camdenmcdonald
Have you tried using the permission announcement.receive?
For some reason, the announcements only show up for opped players. Is there a way to fix this?
For some reason, when I go to the config file and change up the prefix and message, and then open my server, then close it, my messages and prefix is gone and turns back to "&4Announcement". Can someone help me?
@tomwilson5
Yep, works perfect! Thank you My next recommendation, would be allowing the console to do commands. Just another convenience thing.
I Love This Plugin It Works with 1.7.2
@tomwilson5
Lovely... When it's released, i'll let you know if it's working for me or not :D
@everidge1999
I have submitted a minor update and it is currently awaiting approval.
It seems a lot people are having the common problem of not being able to simply edit the config and then doing /an reload.
It's making us do a very inconvenient process of shutting down server, editing config, then starting server.
Can you please provide a fix for this for 1.7.9? Thanks in advance

I have tried the corrected configuration multiple times and cannot find any issues. Can you give me any more detail as to when it reverts back?
