ScoreBoardAnnouncer
ScoreBoardAnnouncer
Announce messages using the ScoreBoards feature!
Features
- Send your players messages using the scoreboard feature added in Minecraft 1.5!
- A configurable scoreboard title!
- Complete automation!
- A reload command (/sba reload)!
- Configurable interval!
- Support for colours!
- An unlimited amount of messages!
What does it look like?
How do I set it up?
Follow these steps:
- Step one: go to the config.yml file.
- Step two: fill in how long you want the messages to stay at "stayForHowLong". This is in seconds.
- Step three: fill in what interval you want between the messages at "intervalBetweenMessages". This is also in seconds. It is very important that you make sure this number is bigger than "stayForHowLong". If you fail to do this, this might result in client crashes.
- Step four: write down your messages. An example of how to do that is given when you first open the config.yml. You must make sure that you follow the rules specified below.
Important notes & tips for messages
Every user of this is recommended to follow the following rules when writing messages. Not following these rules will probably cause client crashes - sometimes for every online player. So, pay attention to these:
- In the config.yml, you can setup an announcement with the following form (// starts a new line).
- Title Line//Last Line//Second Line//First Line//.
- Of course, you can have more than 3 single lines + the title line. This example just illustrates the order of the messages.
- A single line may not be longer than 16 characters (including spaces and colour codes). Not following this rule will result in client crashes.
- You can add colour codes by using the basic Minecraft colour codes format. That can be found over here. You must start a colour code with a '&' character. So, for example, if I wanted a red line, I'd use: "&cThis is a red line!".
Commands and permission
In the latest update (version 1.1) I've added some permissions and a command. The plugin now contains the following:
- scoreboardannouncer.see - Required to receive the messages that the plugin is sending with the ScoreBoard feature. Every player has this permission by default.
- scoreboardannouncer.command - Required to use any command starting with "/sba" or with "/scoreboardannouncer". Every player has this by default. Note: this permission is pointless on itselves - you'll need other permission, such as "scoreboardannouncer.reload" to actually be able to use those command features.
- scoreboardannouncer.reload - Required to use the "/sba reload" command. With this command, you can reload the plugin.
Questions?
Feel free to ask them in the comments.
Is it possible to add a timer ?
never mind fixed it! I was being dumb with yaml...
would be great if there is a command which you can do, and it adds or deletes, or lists the messages because its annoying going into the config
@eveninglight
Just fill in that the messages stay for 2,147,483,647 seconds and set an interval delay of 1 second. Infinite enough.
Can you set these for unlimited times for 1 message
Suggestion:
Different messages based on permissions group.
Dear @Rprrr could you plss make some more vids on youtube i would love that From Niels Tari
@Rprrr
Thank you very much! I really love this plugin, and I can't do without it!
@manuelgu
It's not possible to remove the numbers. Minecraft limitations.

@Vortex151
A version for 1.5.2 was uploaded! It's waiting for approval. :)
Update please!
Please update this to 1.5.2!
Maybe it's in the description but can I remove the Numbers? To list the favo-warps or the Citys on the Server? Greetinf
@jessefjxm
Please read the description. You've configured it incorrectly. Strings may not be longer than 16 characters - yours is, as it says, 17 characters long. This is not a bug I can fix but simply a limitation to the Minecraft scoreboards.
Players will frequently been kicked from server by "received string length longer than maximum allowed (17 16) " when I installed this plugin with Spigot 1.5.1R0.2 & 0.3 :(
Hope this can be fixed.
@Jalau
Guess what? Theres another plugin for that, Anyway if you download one of the latest Dev Builds of Craft Bukkit /scoreboard is there now.
Can you add Options, for showing stats? For example a leaderbord: Most Playerkills: 1. 2. 3. Or Most Monsterkills etc.
@ShakuF
If there's another plugin that's sending messages with the same title, it could cause problems. Though, show me your config.yml and the error message; I'm pretty sure I can show you it's a mistake somewhere in the config.yml. And if not, we might've found a bug here. Thanks! :)
I was using this plugin but it was crashing me ;)
I am sure i put configuration well(16 chars etc.).
Is it possible that this plugin have a little problem with another? And cause crashes?
@RoKaGeR
Don't use idiotically big fonts, please, thanks. Also, if it's kicking players, you're doing something wrong. Read the description of the plugin carefully, then configure your messages, delay and interval carefully aswell. The plugin isn't broken, you're just configuring it incorrectly.
@IchCraft033
It's 100% impossible to remove the line numbers, sorry.
@RoKaGeR
Your message is longer than 16 letters .... on line = max. 16 ....
