This is really helpful! Thank-you. But, I'm such a newb. Got stuck at putting .jar file into the spigot buildtools folder (where exactly?) and then running terminal (are you on a Mac?). Wondering if you have seen someone do a video of this? Can you point me in the right direction? I would be most grateful! Momibelle

That's okay! What you need to do is on your server, put the .jar in the 'plugins' folder. Then in your console (the terminal or console depending on what you have) write 'stop' - then once the server has shut down, start your server again and a folder should be created in the plugins folder and that's where you edit everything (click on the .yml files to open the config).

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me! :D
(you asked awhile ago but I thought I might as well help anyway)

If anyone wants to run this on spigot 1.9 and later you will need to remap some legacy methods as mentioned here in this post (under craftbukkit).

Basically, download the jar here, on bukkitdev (should be named Announcement.jar). Then put the jar in the spigot buildtools folder and run this command from a terminal (command prompt, etc.):

java -jar BuildData/bin/SpecialSource-2.jar map -m CraftBukkit/deprecation-mappings.csrg -i Announcement.jar -o Announcement-1.9.jar

Then use the Announcement-1.9.jar instead of the previous file and everything should work fine! I've done this in order in continue using this plugin on my server, no issues so far.

In reply to CakeLancelot:

I have been doing this with 1.9 -> 1.11.2. I actually have a jenkins job set up to take the latest spigot build artifacts and perform this with this *and* a few other plugins. However, it appears this trick doesn't work - at least with 1.12 pre6. Hoping things are updated so it will work with the official 1.12 release of spigot.

This appears to have broken in Spigot 1.9: http://pastebin.com/JSVwVYJT

And I know it says 1.0.3 in the traceback, but I just confirmed it is the same plugin file that's posted as 1.0.4 here. I think you forgot to update the version number in the code.

I'll second this, it's kind of annoying to have it not work from console actually :-) This is actually the first plugin I've run into that the commands didn't work from console, so it surprised me.

Have you tried using the permission announcement.receive?

For some reason, the announcements only show up for opped players. Is there a way to fix this?

For some reason, when I go to the config file and change up the prefix and message, and then open my server, then close it, my messages and prefix is gone and turns back to "&4Announcement". Can someone help me?

Yep, works perfect! Thank you My next recommendation, would be allowing the console to do commands. Just another convenience thing.

It seems a lot people are having the common problem of not being able to simply edit the config and then doing /an reload.

It's making us do a very inconvenient process of shutting down server, editing config, then starting server.

Can you please provide a fix for this for 1.7.9? Thanks in advance

I have tried the corrected configuration multiple times and cannot find any issues. Can you give me any more detail as to when it reverts back?
