thanx for help, you are a good people.
This is awesome! This truly is the future. I noticed that at night cycles, the text dims. Any way to prevent that? I tried glowstone and touch to see if it would brighten it up but no effect.
Some of players crash due to hologram text. Cannot use plugin because of that =(((((
@iMxAndyy It's just every 10 minutes and doesn't lag, but in the next versions I will only save when editing.
@iMxAndyy Thank you! I didn't know, I will make them stationary ASAP!
@GPlayer93 There are some blocks 54 blocks above the hologram; remove them.
@Dementedesquiciado Please make a screen.
holograms are rly too far visible =(
for example: our main spawn ins on y:20 and you see them 100 blocks above
--------------------1 other thing: since today every new hologram is bugging after few seconds

(using version 1.2 of the plugin)
Can I know why is here that wither skulls? That's enough lagging my server...
I have been using it for a while and from what i can gather by what i have seen is that it works by spawning a horse with the name of whatever we set and just offset the horse into the sky somewhere. as you can see them when you look up.
My question is that i can see the horses moving up there and it seems to cause my frame rate to drop quite a lot. I have been on another server where i can also see the horses but they don't move and this server does not cause any frame rate difference
How do i make it so the horses are dead or stationary which seems to stop the lag?
Ps: sorry for double post but i had two questions
Why does the plugin save holograms so often? does it need to save anything at all if i haven't changed anything and is there anyway i can stop it?
@Dementedesquiciado I didn't understand
Does this use the first used horse concept, or does it use another way made possible with the Bukkit API?
Great job getting this out so quickly btw! ;)
@Thom4444
use /killall all Works for me when they stick around
@Thom4444
and its lagging me badly!
I deleted the plugin, for lag reasons, and a lot of the tags are still there!
Ok, so for some reason our displays are all really dark and you cant see the colors very well, we've tried reloading the plugin but that doesn't work.
@Freelix2000
This is fully possible without bukkit API. You can do this in vanilla minecraft with command blocks. However by the looks of the files here, it seems it will only support the version the file was made for. The dev is probably using some specific NMS code to accomplish the holograms.
@shoomte
No you cannot. Horses did not exist in 1.5
@jithins
More than likely not, as MCPC+ uses a different set of NMS. The dev would have to develop a version specifically for that kind of server. I doubt that will ever happen. Sorry.
@AnAwesomeGuy
do test.png instead of test or whatever kind of file it is.
I can't get the readimage to work it just says that it couldn't find the file 'test' in the plugins folder but it is in it and it is called test and i have also tried to put it in the HolographicDisplays folder but it just can't find it.
