- now animated
By: flyguy23ndm
Thanks for 20k+ downloads
made from my config
Intro
This is my first plugin and has grown much beyond my original sights and has grown in size by a factor of 20 reaching into the 10's of thousands of downloads. The plugin has recently been adapted to allow animated server pings with moving text and a gif for the server Icon. I saw someone was offering an animated config for $12 a download and I thought, I can do that and better, for free. Then, the mega-upgrade of my original plugin had begun and hopefully you will enjoy the fruits of my work. So, if you want an animated ping for you minecraft motd, you've come to the right place.
Also, the old config (earlier than v4.0) has been replaced by a new file. The server will not atuo-transfer from the old config. And I got rid of the motd.txt file.
Note, you need Protocol lib to run this plugin

UPDATE
Hello, I would like to apologize to anyone that wanted to use this plugin. The latest version of minecraft broke this plugin (that was a few months ago). I was discouraged by this so much that I just abandon the project and refused to look at it. This is unacceptable behavior from a content creator and I shouldn't have acted this way. I will post the source code for the broken plugin soon. This code will not work but anyone can see the code that made the magic work (undocumented scrawl is the real magic. I will never document it... that is way too much work for the time I have now). Hopefully this will be of some consolation. I may change the software so that it will work as the initial versions did without the animation. Apparently 37k of you have downloaded the software and I thank you for your support and not reporting me constantly for the small support that I have given.
here is the source code:

bungee: https://github.com/nicholas-maltbie/Player-Count-Message-Bungee
Feel free to modify, copy or update the code as you please; I only request that you cite me. Also, if you make any cool projects with my work, send me a like and I'd love to see what you have made.
update to 1.12!!!!
I need version to 1.10.2, please!!!
Java 8!

I have just tried it with Spigot 1.8.01.8.8, And craftbukkit 1.8.0/1.8.8 And im still getting the error :'(
Im getting the same Problem as everyone is, Im downloading spigot 1.8.0 so see if its the version Ill get back to you all <3
how to disable animation?bungeecord version
@theadopolomc
yeah Im having the same issue I have Protocol LIb installed and everything
When I load the plugin, it says Pinging... and the player list has the no connection icon, but I can join. When I unload the plugin it's fine! Plz fix ;-;
@ChunkieMiner
I've got the same problem but I think it has to do with the version of spigot we use, I use the latest one but I think it doesn't work with that versions only till 1.8.1
Isn't working, tried both versions. Im on 1.8.7 Spigot
Cześć Mam mały problem z tym pluginem wystepuja u mnie problemy (przepraszam za mój angielski transalate google) http://hastebin.com/obetakecer.vbs I hope that you will help me luck :)
The following message keeps on spamming my console when I use this plugin, it happens if I use the 1.7 or 1.8 jre version:
12.06 16:37:27 [Server] INFO java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException 12.06 16:37:27 [Server] WARN An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.
Nice, great plugin! :) Can you please make an option to display the player's ping?
@steven2009594 Does not work with 1.8.4 clients. No animation plugin that I have seen works with 1.8.4 yet. A fix is planned soon.
I tested the plugin for u too
@Maxetto
Second line doesn't work on mine server either
Great plugin!!
Any update for the Bungee version and 1.8.4 Fix/alternate? Thanks
my dosen't worl on 1.7
@Polishgaming
There is and is called "pcm.staff", you can color it differently by putting something like this in the messages "&<colorcode>%staff%". It supports as many Staff members as you want.
@HYPExMon5ter
From what I understood from your comment, you want blank lines to show in the MOTD/Somewhere, right? For that you just need to add this to the lines (remember, this is counted as a line, so you also need to give it the animation, interval and loops):
@G182120
If you're using bungeecord, i get past it by running commands from the bungee's console. If you're using Spigot/CB i have no idea, when i used 4.2 i got no problems.
@Maxetto
Just a little Bump. Still waiting for some kind of reply/fix
Just to let you know, Mojang patched animated MOTD's in 1.8.4 are are not planning on adding them back :(
