Player Count Message
Player Count Message
- now animated
By: flyguy23ndm
Thanks for 20k+ downloads
made from my config
Intro
This is my first plugin and has grown much beyond my original sights and has grown in size by a factor of 20 reaching into the 10's of thousands of downloads. The plugin has recently been adapted to allow animated server pings with moving text and a gif for the server Icon. I saw someone was offering an animated config for $12 a download and I thought, I can do that and better, for free. Then, the mega-upgrade of my original plugin had begun and hopefully you will enjoy the fruits of my work. So, if you want an animated ping for you minecraft motd, you've come to the right place.
Also, the old config (earlier than v4.0) has been replaced by a new file. The server will not atuo-transfer from the old config. And I got rid of the motd.txt file.
Note, you need Protocol lib to run this plugin

UPDATE
Hello, I would like to apologize to anyone that wanted to use this plugin. The latest version of minecraft broke this plugin (that was a few months ago). I was discouraged by this so much that I just abandon the project and refused to look at it. This is unacceptable behavior from a content creator and I shouldn't have acted this way. I will post the source code for the broken plugin soon. This code will not work but anyone can see the code that made the magic work (undocumented scrawl is the real magic. I will never document it... that is way too much work for the time I have now). Hopefully this will be of some consolation. I may change the software so that it will work as the initial versions did without the animation. Apparently 37k of you have downloaded the software and I thank you for your support and not reporting me constantly for the small support that I have given.
here is the source code:
bukkit: https://github.com/nicholas-maltbie/PlayerCountMessage
bungee: https://github.com/nicholas-maltbie/Player-Count-Message-Bungee
Feel free to modify, copy or update the code as you please; I only request that you cite me. Also, if you make any cool projects with my work, send me a like and I'd love to see what you have made.
Nice Plugin! :3
@flyguy23ndm
you say it wont work with bukkit but its on bukkit.org?
Also im making something like this tooo :)
it dont work...
When i try after restart pcm load:
Will this also work with bungee cord installed?? Also will it work with spigot ?
@MoejoeAw44
Someone wrote a plugin for Bungee: http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/serverlistplus.241/
this will not work with bukkit and I haven't tested it at all because I know it only works with bungee. People that use it say it works but I can't vouch for it. Hope it helps
Could you please add Bungee support? If there is already a way to do this with Bungee, could you please tell me? Thanks in advance!
@DanielBlakey
I just looked into it, sorry I was lazy, the only way to do this is by setting the online players to the number of lines as far as I know so if you're alright with that I can do it.
Also, I'm rather new to plugins and I don't quite know how to add an optional integration such as only loading it if the plugin is present
@flyguy23ndm
Thanks!

Great plugin! I'm having trouble setting up player lines. Could you provide us with the config you used in your picture? Thanks!
@flyguy23ndm
Ah ok cool - another couple of things: Do you think you'd be able to integrate VanishNoPacket to hide people who are vanished? I've noticed I have 4 lines of text before the player list then 15 lines of names but if I have 16-19 people on it just has 15 in the list but if I have 20 or more on it starts saying the and 1 more thing at the bottom - is there any way that could be worked around so you get it to say and 1 more at 16 players in my case.
Cheers
@DanielBlakey
It's possible, I would just need to do something to allow you to format spacing in names so that if you had a longer name it could still appear as a nice grid
ex:
compared to: (with spaces instead of "-")
I would just need to code it and have it so that instead of "%player%", you could do "%player#%" with # being the set number of characters cutting "flyguy23ndm" down to "flyguy23" or "short" being extended to "short - " (with spaces instead of "-") if it were 8. But I would have to code that and test it and that takes time, and I'm being lazy :) .
Brilliant plugin I love it :D - It's probably impossible like as in a limitation of Minecraft but I was wondering about having multiple usernames on one line for showing who's online.
I have made major improvements allowing you to edit in game and show players in game from the ping (what it was originally). I will have it tested and uploaded later today. Thanks for using the plugin and this should fix the problems people have been having.
Plugin isnt working Getting errors like others

Amazing plugin!
@hiSycor
Try resetting the config or re downloading the plugin. I will probably come up with a better way to add lines sooner or later.

@CamSFGiant
Try resetting your config by deleting it then restarting or reloading your server. It isn't a problem with protocol lib or bukkit according to your error. I think resetting your config will help because I just did a test with the latest version of protocol lib an bukkit and that fixed it. If you have another question just pm me.
I get this error with latest version of protocolLib, and craftbukkit. With the config message set as.
