Color Codes/Text Modifiers
Warnings:
When updating, remember to backup and remove your configuration file before updating. Without doing this, your Bukkit would bug out and the plugin would crash.
Remeber NEVER EVER EVER EVER have a extra line on your messages.txt . If you save an extra line, you will get some errors and the plugin would crash.
It is reccomended to use the version of the plugin that is made for your version of bukkit.
If you are getting a major.minor error, that means AutoCast is using a newer version of Java then you. Simply update Java on your host.
FAQ:
Q: When I edit the file it creates lots of errors. Why?
A: Make Sure your messages.txt does not have an extra and unused line, and make sure you are using the newest version of Java.
Q: Whe I start this plugin for the first time, I get lots of errors. Why is this?
A: When you start the plugin for the first time, Bukkit generates messages.txt then tries to run it, but it is empty. If it is empty it does not know what to broadcast. Simply stop the server, edit it to how you like, and restart the server.
Q: How do i remove text formatting like bold, italic, etc?
A: Use the reset code, which is &r. This removes all colors too.

Hello, I have been having a similar issue to others. Whenever I make multiple messages in messages.txt, it only broadcasts the first line. How can I fix this?
First message only broadcasting. I tried /n, <n>, putting them together, preceding the lines with / and ! and brackets, but no dice. This looks sweet, i hope theres a fix soon! no rush tho. i think wed all prefer quality fixes then lots of shitty ones.
