Installation:
Just drag and drop into your plugins folder then restart or reload your server! Simple!
Usage and Information:
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.
This plugin features an update command which will check if you are running the latest build and download the update to the plugin folder if it not currently installed. You are required to trigger the command manually and you must restart or reload the server for changes to take effect.
Thanks to my donators!

With minor differences this config works. http://pastie.org/4044821
I added the messages each with the command instead of editing it by hand. It seemed to of made a difference.
@ELCHILEN0
Success so far, no errors on startup, now to make sure the messages are coming through....messages still aren't working. I don't get any errors but the only mesages that are working are:
First message in the loaded messages! Second message in the loaded messages! Third message in the loaded messages!
and they are still going off at the default time of 45 seconds. Though that are random.
EDIT: It seems after I changed my config the config was regenerated. I will try one more time.
EDIT:
This works: http://pastie.org/4044773 This doesn't work: http://pastie.org/4044776
Why doesn't the second config work? Whenever I use that as the config the whole thing gets regenerated on server startup.
@ELCHILEN0
1.7.0_03
and sweet for the dev build fix I'll try it out right now.
Fixed config errors in my dev builds! I will be releasing a fix once I add some new features and fix some formatting issues. If you would like a copy of my dev build the download link is here.
@gabessdsp
I am currently attempting to fix however I did some research on these common errors and have found this to be windows related due to the way that they handle memory mapped files. I am trying to program a fix ASAP. Can you tell me what version of java you are using? Do java -version in command line.
@ELCHILEN0
I am using Windows, but as ViscousSummer88 said he is getting it on Linux as well. Considering that a vast majority of OS's are Windows over Linux and Macintosh you shouldn't blame this on Windows, but find out how to fix it. So please fix it.
@ELCHILEN0
Nope, not just windows.... i have tried it on my windows server and my linux server.... same issue.
95% of people use windows, and 70% of people self host their servers using windows. but i dont think my server is windows. i rent a server i have no idea wth os it is but it might be ubuntu, when i go back to preivous build im good maybe update from that?
@DrFusion
Is the server running on a windows computer? Im going to try to find the cause of these issues however I think its a windows issue. Also try using the in-game commands and see if those work.
every time i try to reload, restart server to restart automsgs the config.yml never seems to register, the reoccuring msgs is "first message blah blah blah" etc. even though the config.yml is nothing like that..
To all having problems... Are you using windows for your server? I have been doing some research on the errors that are occurring and it seems to be windows related.
@Lolseeker
I will be adding this in a later update.
I am getting this error on server startup and shutdown.
http://pastie.org/4039190
Here is my config
http://pastie.org/4039194
Also as you see I have custom messages made but they are not being played, the default messages of "First message in loaded messages!" and so on are the only ones playing. The interval is still stuck at 45 seconds. Whenever I make a change to the config nothing happens. The only thing that works is "enabled: true/false".
I deleted the folder and automessage several times and started with a brand new download etc. What is the problem, and how do I fix it(or please fix it ASAP)?
Great plugin, any chance to see a permission to ignore messages? So only the players without the certain permission will see the messages
@Dr_Proffesor
Im not sure if your typing it in right... irc.esper.net not irs.
@ELCHILEN0
i cant get to it. i can go to esper.net but apparently irs.esper doesnt exist
@ELCHILEN0
IRC channel is on irc.esper.net and the channel name is #automessage. Just ask Ill answer whenever I get the chance.
@Dr_Proffesor
Let me open up an IRC channel so I can help you guys a little more.
@Dr_Proffesor
I have issue on loading the server and stopping the server also.
The error again is here http://pastie.org/4022894 on startup with new config and a restart
@ELCHILEN0
I freakin did what i put is also happening when it regenerates a new config. I am deleteing te config doing a full blown restart and it gives me those errors on startup
