Disclaimers
This plugin uses the Minotar service to display player avatars as the server icon.
SexyMotd v1.2 and earlier: In order to provide information about new updates, this plugin uses Gravity's auto updater service to query dev.bukkit.org for new updates. Updates are not automatically downloaded, but can be downloaded with the /bm command or by clicking the provided link when an update becomes available. Update warnings can be disabled by setting the CheckUpdates section in the config to false.
SexyMotd v1.2 and earlier: We use PluginMetrics by Hidendra to collect data about the servers running SexyMotd. This data is packaged and sent to report.mcstats.org in order to be processed. The following data is collected from your server:
- Your servers unique metrics id.
- The version of PluginMetrics.
- Your server's CraftBukkit version.
- Player count.
- Your computer's operating system.
- Your computer's arch type.
- Your CPU's core count.
- Your server's online mode state.
- The version of java you have installed.
Metrics can be disabled by changing the opt-out section in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml to true.
REQUIREMENTS
This plugin REQUIRES ProtocolLib in order to function! You can get it here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/protocollib/
Hey! I like the plugin but I do have a few suggestions that may or may not be possible. Do you know how Mojang's Authentication servers can be somewhat unstable. Maybe if you could detect when they were down and have an option in the config to set a message for while the authentication servers are down.
Quite often players thing our server is down for maintenance and don't realize it's Mojang but having this feature would throw a message in their face saying it's not the server's fault but Mojang's end. Might be difficult to do but a real cool feature!
@AmeesingMees
This is essentials :)
@AmeesingMees
That is likely another plugin. Commands were removed from SMotd in 1.3.
when i type /motd it saids /motd [chapter] [version] what is this
@Zeeptin
You have to use apostrophes around the motd in order to keep it from reading the % as a special symbol.
I can't set the player amount to %onlineplayers%+20 Do I have to put this in quotes or something? I get an error saying % cant be used as indentation
@AyhamAlali
What is shown when you use the variable?
best plugin ♥ plz fix %randomplayer% it not work :(
@Qwertyness
Ohh that is the reason why the don't work. I have already another option to reload the plugin.
I unload first and then I load him again with UltimateCore. The config files are read again and that works fine :)
@Coolechriz
If you are using 1.3+, the commands were removed. If you want to retain the /smotd reload command, you can PM me and ask for the new 1.4 version. I can't post the link here because it's an external file domain.
@Qwertyness
/sexymotd reload and /smotd reload but other commands like /smotd info exc. Also don't work
@Coolechriz
What is the exact command you are using?
@Qwertyness
Only with Sexymotd work my commands not. And i get no errorlog in my console.
@Coolechriz
So other plugins are having the same issue? If so, it could very well be an issue with permissions.
@Qwertyness
I've really tried but I do not get any message back and changed nothing.
I Think non of the commands works on my server.
@Coolechriz
The command /Smotd is also valid.
Nice plugin, but i can't reload this plugin because i have another plugin that uses the command /motd
Can this fixed please!
@Chsteerr
Standard meaning what? The image defined in the bukkit configuration?
It only shows the standard image, it works at beginning for some user with smotd..
@Chsteerr
What is shown as the image? Were you using any images prior that did work (with or without the Smotd)?
Hey, i have the same problem like Emalton.. It doesent load the image, the parth is correct...
we have the newest version of protocollib and sexymotd
