How do I setup groups?

RealMotd needs to be highly extensible, so I made a separate YAML file for groups. It's stored in RealMotd's folder(path_to_server/plugins/RealMotd/groups.yml). This file does not create itself, so you have to create it. The best way is to copy this example file:

groups: # root tag
    mygroup:  # group name
        members:   # members
            - Tomsik68
    mojang:
        members:
            - Notch
            - jeb_

MOTD modes + groups + worlds

This examples show how different motd algorithms work with world-specific and group-specific mode.

SINGLE

1. Look for motd.txt in messages/group/world
2. Look for motd.txt in messages/group/
3. Look for motd.txt in messages/world
4. Look for motd.txt in messages/

DAILY

1. Look for motd_MONTH_DAY.txt in messages/group/world
2. Look for motd_MONTH_DAY.txt in messages/group/
3. Look for motd_MONTH_DAY.txt in messages/world
4. Look for motd_MONTH_DAY.txt in messages/
5. Look for motd.txt in messages/group/world
6. Look for motd.txt in messages/group/
7. Look for motd.txt in messages/world
8. Look for motd.txt in messages/ where MONTH is current month and DAY is the current day of the month

RANDOM

• Note: RealMotd only gets to other step if there are no files with .txt ending in the given folder

1. If group-specific & world-specific: Any file from messages/group/world
2. If group-specific: Any file from messages/group
3. if world-specific: Any file from messages/world
4. Else: Any file from messages/

• world is name of player world
• group is name of group player is in

WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST READ?!

Don't worry if you don't understand to what you just red. It's just too messy. Just check out the Quick Start page for setup.
