This mod allows you to set up a countdown timer that will broadcast to the entire server. This mod was requested by Archie (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-simple-timer.87052/http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-simple-timer.87052/). This plugin really doesn't do much... yet. I'll be sure to add more features to it in the future, but for now, all it does is announce the countdown to the server.

The configuration file is a bit confusing. I plan on changing it later.

The commands are:
/countdown <length> <unit>
this will start a countdown for a specified amount of time. Valid units are second(s), minute(s), hours(s) and day(s). The other main command is
/countdown <length> <unit> interval <interval length> <interval unit>
this will make a countdown that sends an announcement to the server when it reaches the set interval.

For example, /countdown 5 minutes interval 5 seconds - will start a countdown that is 5 minutes long. Every 5 seconds, it will announce to the server how many seconds are remaining. That is just for the default configuration. Or, you could just type
/countdown 5 minutes - and in 5 minutes, the server will announce that the countdown is complete. If you want the server to broadcast every second, you would want to do /countdown 5 minutes interval 1 second.
/timeleft - that will print to the user's chat how much time is left on the countdown
/stopcountdown - immediately stops the countdown
/reloadcountdown - this reloads the configuration file

Permissions:
countdown.start - /countdown
countdown.stop - /stopcountdown
countdown.timeleft - /timeleft
countdown.reload - /countdownreload

There are probably glitches in the configuration. Please notify me if you find a glitch and I'll fix it. I will be adding more to this in the future. I just had to get this out now because I am getting rather busy soon. Some planned featurs:

• Count up timer
  
• better commands
  
• countdown will be able to execute commands
  
• better permissions management
  
• fix that darned configuration and its multitudes of confusion
  

Eh I think I'd be better off just re-writing it. It got very crazy with all the values in the configuration and such. I'll say myself that the code is pretty ugly. I have no clue how to use git, nor have I invested the time to learn how to use it, yet. So the source code is not posted. Perhaps I'll post it in the future.
