@BlueDude35
yes
Does this work with 1.6.2?
Awesome plugin, 97%
Earn 3 more percent by adding an option to edit the MOTD in-game :D
Hope you can do that in future updates
Sadface if you can't
Again. Awesome plugin!
Nevermind, I feel stupid now.
Is A Great Plugin. Testing... :D
@ShawnPR1
Sounds weird, if this is the case I may completely recode the plugin's config system to make it work more smoothly.
@CraigEge
I changed the config of multiMOTD (correctly formatted and all) but it doesn't want to accept the changes at all ... I even tried restarting my server (it's hosted on clanforge).
I also tried saving changes then reloading the config in-game with /multimotd reload (this worked on my hamachi server but not clanforge)
Is there any way to fix this dude?
@ShawnPR1
What problem are you having?
@ThisUsernameIsMine
I'll look into this when I can
@MightyFlyRudy
Can you give me the plugin name? I'm getting problems with this plugin now, on my clanforge server though
@ShawnPR1
Thanks for the info. I ended up finding a different plugin to suit my needs after the lack of help, though.
@MightyFlyRudy
I got the same problem but just found out how to fix it :
You need to save changes to the file then type this command in your server /multimotd reload
If that doesn't work for you I'm not sure what will, just keep in mind that you can have your server running while doing this. The changes will be loaded from the changed config if you run the above mentioned command.
Hope that helps :)
@CraigEge
Every time I start the server, my config file gets overwritten with the default values. Here is my config.yml:

@CraigEge
tyvm! ;) +1
edit: I'm getting the below error when using %month_text%:
full error: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/7907/
@CraigEge
:D m(_ _)m
@ThisUsernameIsMine
@soysuva
Updated as promised, I will get to the ToDo list when I can :)
@CraigEge
ok, thanks. I'll look forward to it then. ^_^
@soysuva
Also, for me the %n% works fine, it does only work on the actual login and not the server list as the heading says.
@Marium0505
For that I would need to make the plugin save the players name with their IP on their first time joining the server since you don't know a players name till they actually log in (why I haven't already done this).
@soysuva
You will, it's just I'm an extremely busy person, I will update it some time in the next 7 days when I have time :)
@Marium0505
Bump
-sigh- :( I guess we won't get an update this year. :( Guess I have to look for another motd. I really liked what this motd does, but their's too many bugs with the motd not displaying correctly and the variables not working. Also the%n% variable doesn't work.
