Understanding the config.yml

The configuration file (config.yml) lets you create custom signs that will be generated when you type a certain ID to the first line of a sign.

To make a new sign you simply go to, let's say, "Sign1-name:". After the colon, type in 'My new sign'. It will look like this:

Sign1-name: 'My new sign'

After this, we want to add an ID. The ID is also going to be used for the permissions, so this is important! Find where it says "Sign1-id:", and fill in the ID after this. Note that you may only have 13 letters in this line, and I cannot recommend adding symbols and color codes, as that would simply not make sense. After you are done, it should look something like this:

Sign1-name: 'My new sign'
Sign1-id: 'MNS'

Now, to add lines to the sign, scroll down to where it says "Sign1-line1:", and so on and start editing like we edited the other lines. Here, you can use color and formatting as you like, by adding a '§' before the color/formatting symbol. Complete list can be found here. However, you may not have more than 15 symbols on each line! When you are done, we could have something looking like this:

Sign1-name: 'My new sign'
Sign1-id: 'MNS'
Sign1-line1: '§2A sign made'
Sign1-line2: '§2using QuickSings'
Sign1-line3: '§2by my love,'
Sign1-line4: '§4Foldager§2!'

Now, to use this in-game you need to be sure that you have permission to use it! If you are OP, you will by default, but if you are not, here is how you do it: Add the following permission: QuickSigns.create.<ID> - You will need to replace <ID> with the ID that you entered earlier. When this is done, simply restart your server, grab a sign, and enter the ID with to cornered brackets around it: [<ID>]. Now when you click done on the sign, it should automatically fill in the text that you made.

Enjoy!

Note: You can not create more than 5 signs at the moment. I am planning to add more.
