SimpleAnnouncer
Have you ever been baffled by just how complicated some announcer plugins are? Do you want really simple per-world, per-group, and even per-permission announcements? Want commands to be run before or after announcements? Well this is the plugin for you!
For instant support join my IRC channel #kezz101.

Found a bug? Let me know here.
SimpleAnnouncer only has 1 command with 4 options:
- /sa - Displays the help page - SimpleAnnouncer.sa
- /sa start - Starts announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.start
- /sa stop - Stops announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.stop
- /sa reload - Reloads the plugin - SimpleAnnouncer.reload
NOTICE: You need the permission: SimpleAnnouncer.sa to use any of the other options. You can also use the wildcard SimpleAnnouncer.* which gives access to everything
The configuration file for this plugin has become too large to display here. You can find the full configuration file here. There you will also find information about how to use per permission/world/group announcements, as well as information on how to run commands before and after announcements.
You can use all the colour and style codes in the Tag and your Announcements! So all you have to do is add your messages to the Announcements section and let the Plugin do the work.

@LiLChris06
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that I could help. If you have anything you want added to SimpleAnnouncer be sure to say and I shall get started on it right away :)
@kezz101
Woot! :D
Thanks this should help me get more people on the site, been having to broadcast myself for a long time now.
Finally SimpleAnnouncer V1.8 and Tekkit Edition V1.2 Released!
Cor blimey! It's been a while! Sh*t got real irl so that's the reason I haven't been updating for a while. However, I am back and better than ever. V1.8 and TE1.2 are just massive optimisation and bug fix updates. They fix every single error that everyone tagged below was experiencing. I'm 99.99% sure you'll have a hard time finding errors since I've spent a LOT of time testing.
So what's next Kezz?
Next up is localisation. I will be re-writing the command and log section of the plugin to allow all our non-English speaking friends to enjoy SimpleAnnouncer :) After that is the option to edit everything within the config.yml from in-game :D Look forward to that in V1.9 and TE1.3!
Once again, sorry about the delay. It won't happen again. Promise. Kezz
P.S To clear up confusion: TE1.2 works on Tekkit Servers running version 3.1.3 :)

Having the same problem as LilChris. Please update, I love this plugin! D:
@colefrick @SICC805 Blimey sorry about the delay. The bios chip on my computer broke :/ sucks to be me... Well I've fixed it now and I'll get to work on a fix ASAP!
Looking forward to the update, im getting the same thing as the other guys.
When the plug ins in my server and i change all the stuff to what i want it still says SAMPLE ANNOUNCEMENT
@kezz101
@LiLChris06
Now that is interesting... Thank you for reporting this. I'll release a fully tested fix within the next few hours. Make sure to subscribe to file updates so you know when I release every version!
@kezz101

@lenivets09 @lenivets09 @ohJey Thank you for reporting this. This issue appears to be when only using the SHUFFLE mode. I will release a fix to this soon.
@ohJey It will also include per world announcements :)
@lenivets09
same here
@kezz101
Per world announcements would be great!
Thank you for this, it got annoying always seeing the same messages on startup.
+messages is doubling. 2 messages is sand by 1 time.
If in config: 'test' 'test2' 'test3'
Is showing to chat like : test test2
AnnouncementMode: NORMAL
Getting error:
Getting error
@atomicben
Yup it would be perfectly possible! I'll be implementing this within the next few days :)
Version 1.7 and Tekkit Edition 1.1 Released
Version 1.7 and Tekkit Edition 1.0 adds the new feature of Announcement Modes. This allows you to customise how your announcements are, well, announced! In this update there are 3 modes, with hopefully many mode to come! You can see what each of these modes do above. Special thanks to @RicardoForce for suggesting this!
As always thank you for downloading and using SimpleAnnouncer! I always welcome any feedback at all!
P.S This update also fixes the issues you guys were having @Canister80 & @Captain_Derek45
@Canister80 Are you sure there are no Yaml parseing issues within your config after editing it? These issues often cause config files to reset no matter what the plgin is. You can check for issues here: http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/
@RicardoForce That's a brilliant idea! I shall have to implement this as soon as I get the chance :D
This really needs a random feature. With that it'll be perfect. Implement it soon please.
@Captain_Derek45
im haveing the same problem with the newest update and now every auto announser i use does the same no matter what ver it is i should never have updated =( its waird to when i dl the config from my ftp eit and put back when i relaod the server it still gives me the test annouance msg but i open the file and my changes are still there
Still having the same issue, I will edit the config, reload the plugin via /sa reload and it just resets the config to a blank document.
