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!

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.

@zorrobyte
You can tell what version the Tekkit Edition runs on via the number in the brackets. The version below is obsolete. The current Tekkit Edition works perfectly with the 3.1.2 build of Tekkit!
@kezz101
Tekkit runs CB 1.2.5 in which your Tekkit version doesn't work with since it's a 1.3.2 version.

@XterierK
I have released a small bugfix version which fixes the loading issue. Thank you for reporting this error! :)
@Captain_Derek45
a simple temp fix, download version 1.4, restart server.
The config should load, then download the 1.6.
Edit: Nevermind, 1.6 isn't reading the config. Ediit2: Actually it does.
@Captain_Derek45
I'm having same issue.
Hey the config doesn't seem to be generating? It still shows the test announcement in game when the server starts but there is not a single file generated.
Version 1.6 and Tekkit Edition 1.0 Released
Version 1.6 contains a minor bug fix with the configuration. This is (99% sure) the last of the errors that you will be having with the configuration. I am now beginning work on massive new features including option tags, permission per announcement and more.
Also today marks the release of the Tekkit Edition. Several Tekkit users were expressing some errors with SimpleAnnouncer that only happened on Tekkit Servers. The only lack in features for the Tekkit Edition is the '%motd%' tag. This is due to a MotD not being available on Tekkit servers.
Thanks!
@NIKE0071996
Ah. Well there seems to be several major issues with the configuration. I shall release a bug fix for this shortly.
um weird but my config file keeps reseting every time i stop my server =^) what is wrong?
Version 1.5 Released
Version 1.5 is mainly a bug fix, however a few new features have been included too. As pointed out by a few people, the configuration would only load at the start of the plugin. This was due to a minor variable error which has now been corrected! You can also use several custom tags in your announcements. They take the form of '%tagname%'. You can find more information on them above!
Thank you all for your support!
@BiohazardBreach

Im having some trouble getting the Announcements to show, I've added the file, the config generated along with the anouncements.txt but when i add the broadcasts like so

Thank you all for being so patient! I can tell you all that Version 1.4 of SimpleAnnouncer has been released! This version has several major changes:
Keep subscribed to file updates so you know when the new versions are out!
Thanks for your help and support, Kezz
@kezz101
good to hear that, i hope it gets released soon xP
@Matt19901
Okie dokie! Thanks for the pointer!
I will be releasing version 1.4 soon. This will contain a complete rewrite of how announcements are read/broadcasted. This update will see the removal of announcements.txt in favour of a section in the Configuration file. This update will bring the possibility for future updates to have permission nodes per announcement ect.
It seem to work the commands all work and what not, the only issue i see that the announcement.txt isn`t being read or interacting with the config/.jar file or server correctly in some way.
