AutoCast is now using Java 6!
What is AutoCast?
Well, AutoCast is a plugin developed by OperationVOID, lead by CorruptEntity. AutoCast is a plugin that broadcasts any message at any desired interval. It can have 1-10000000 or more messages. The broadcasts can be any color, or even bold, italic, underscore, and Cross-through. Simply just add the code for it in the messages.txt, and it is there. AutoCast is used by thousands of servers worldwide! Even execute commands through AutoCast!
Commands:

More to come!
How to install:

2. Edit the config.yml and messages.txt or whatever your global messages file is to the way you like!
3. Run your server!
Color Codes/Text Modifiers
Warnings:
When updating, remember to backup and remove your configuration file before updating. Without doing this, your Bukkit would bug out and the plugin would crash.
Remeber NEVER EVER EVER EVER have a extra line on your messages.txt . If you save an extra line, you will get some errors and the plugin would crash.
It is reccomended to use the version of the plugin that is made for your version of bukkit.
If you are getting a major.minor error, that means AutoCast is using a newer version of Java then you. Simply update Java on your host.
FAQ:
Q: When I edit the file it creates lots of errors. Why?
A: Make Sure your messages.txt does not have an extra and unused line, and make sure you are using the newest version of Java.
Q: Whe I start this plugin for the first time, I get lots of errors. Why is this?
A: When you start the plugin for the first time, Bukkit generates messages.txt then tries to run it, but it is empty. If it is empty it does not know what to broadcast. Simply stop the server, edit it to how you like, and restart the server.
Q: How do i remove text formatting like bold, italic, etc?
A: Use the reset code, which is &r. This removes all colors too.

If you need help fixing errors, please ticket this page! thank you!
1.3 is for some reason making the plugin not work. I am fixing it soon.
How do i have it cycle through multiple messages?
@CorruptEntity
Thanks so much! :D
well, i just got back from a month or so or vacation, sorry for all your waiting. I see a large issue of only repeating 1 line. I will fix that ASAP!
When new update???
Have the same problem as TypicalRookie and PIPOKID
When will the update be released?
I have a problem, only the first message in messages.txt ever get shown.
When will this be updating to 1.3.1?
Ummmm..... Under facts you forgot a N
Q: Whe I start this plugin for the first time, I get lots of errors. Why is this?
When new version will come out?
@PIPOKID
No, the picture was it happening every 2 seconds. My test was every 2 seconds, so it waits 2 seconds, they deploys the first message. waits 2 seconds, then displays the second. Waits another 2 to send the 3rd. So on and so on until it reaches the end.
I am adding a newline function soon.
@CorruptEntiity
I have this is my "messages" file:
[HELP] If you have any doubts please type /help or /warp help
[Market] The market in the city is waiting for you to spend your money! /warp market
And for testing i've put 10 sec in the config.
But what i get is always the first statement, the "[HELP] If you..."
After 10 sec, the same statement and so on...
Looking at the image you've put in this topic, it should send the two statements every 10 sec, like this:
[HELP] If you ...
[Market] The market ...
and after 10 sec the same thing..
[HELP] If you ...
[Market] The market ...
and so on...
Shouldn't it?
Can you check one ticket? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/auto-cast/tickets/6-looping-only-one-line/
Yeah, in messages.txt there should be an example, that teaches, how use it.
Is it possible to get some examples of code and commands we can use in messages.txt?
I cant figure out how to use commands and set prefixes and such, and how to make certain messages to repeat and not others.
Thanks for dediced to move JRE 6, but i downloaded again and restarted my server, there was still major version problem. Can you give new plugin download link? There still v1.3, thanks.
