Got an Error?
Please read this if you have any issues with the configuration: http:dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/simpleautomessage/pages/config-yml/
This plugin uses Carlgo11's pastebin-reporter. You can disable sending of your latest.log by setting send-log to false in the config.
Report an error:
- Stop your server.
- Set debug to true in the config.yml (change the debug string to: true)
- Startup the server and let it load for as long as the delay is set to in the 'time:' string
- Run the command /SimpleAutoMessage Support
- Click the first link that starts with "
http://cajs.co.uk/link/
" - Press connect and tell the developers/helpers what your issue is
- Wait for reply(Can take a while)
Remember to be careful with the config.yml! Even one single blankspace in the wrong place can destroy the whole config!
Required information
The following text has been requested by different dev.bukkit.org moderators.
1. This plugin uses mcstats. It automatically uploads data about the plugins usage to it's mcstats page. The information cannot be traced back to your server and it does not upload any private information. Mcstats helps us see the demand of the plugin; how common some issues are, (which makes it possible for us to priorities the issues); the countries using SimpleAutomessage, (Which makes it possible for us to make translations of the plugin to these countries); motivates us to continue develop the plugin.
Do you still want to disable mcstats? Here's a quote from http://mcstats.org/learn-more/, written by Hidendra, on how to disable mcstats:
Quote:For this service to track a plugin, an author must explicitly add it to their plugin. They will most likely have made note of this addition in any changelogs. Your server cannot be identified nor controlled in any way by MCStats. As well, you have access to the same data that the plugin author can see.
You are free to opt-out of submitting data whenever you wish. This will immediately stop sending data for any plugins that supports MCStats / Plugin Metrics. Simply edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and change opt-out: false to true
You can find this plugin's stats on http:mcstats.org/plugin/SimpleAutomessage/.
2. This plugin uses Gravity's Updater 2.0, with some modifications. This allows you to automatically get updates when available. It is strongly recommended to leave this as it is but if still want to turn version checks off set "auto-update" to false and "warn-update" to none.
Do note that when you disable update checking your server is at risk. You will have to manually install security patches and other updates.
3. This plugin uses Carlgo11's Reporter API. This allows you to quickly join our support chat and allows us to see your issue via pastebins created when joining the support chat or by doing /simpleautomessage report. If you wish not to give us your config and log, simply don't use /simpleautomessage support nor /simpleautomessage report. If you wish not to upload your log when asking for help, set "send-log" to false in the config.
4. Simpleautomessage version 1.2.2 and newer have dev-all-perms that allows the developers of this plugin all simpleautomessage perms for your server if the server isn't a offline-mode server. It is completely up to you if you want to grant us that. To disable this, set dev-all-perms to false in the config.yml.
However this may help us help you with your server if you require help from our support channel.
I've made my own ! https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/simpleautomessage-lotuxpunks-edition
does the newest version support line breaks? It isn't working for me.
@Azen0x
It's rather easy really. Every new line is a message. Color codes (if wanted) are the same as those in-game.
If you need further help mail me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Carlgo11

@Discoveries
Not at the moment. Feel free to post a feature request
Does this plugin offer the ability to create multi-line announcements by using "\n"?
@ergenta
go to the config.yml and add msg1: 'test message' at the bottom of the config.
Restart the config and I'm sure it'll output the message.
See one of the user tutorials out there on how to configure Simpleautomessage further.
Hello, Im running craft bukkit version git-bukkit-1.7.2-r0.3-56-g3779cff-b3072jnks (mc:1.7.9) (implementing api version 1.7.9-r0.1-snapshot)
I can't manage to get this plugin to work even with default setting. the console says it's installed with no errors coming up, but no message is ever broadcasted through the in-game. I've add this simpleautomessage.cmd.* to the group owner, but it says it already has direct access.
No matter what I do nothing ever broadcasts.
My quest is this; What can i do to fix this issue?
Hi.
Is it possible to skip a line please ? Thanks.
Hi everyone,
we have now switched ticket manager to Assembla.
We recomment that you use that page if you need help with Simpleautomessage.
You can also contact us via IRC but there might not be any helper online when you need help.
@ergenta
There is a prefix and suffix setting in the config.yml
Can you please add a prefix?!?!? I've tried like 6 other broadcasters and they all have some kind of issue with them, either it's an er with a box around it or the config doesn't save. This is the only one that actually works, but with no prefix!
Please add one. Thank you
Gotta love this plugin!
@carlgo11
ok I'll do it ASAP
@Veho360
There is no such thing at the moment. You're more than welcome to fill in a feature request on our github.
I can't make an SimpleAutoMessage Saying the amount of players online. What do I need to write? I've tried {players} {ONLINE} and some others... Best Regards Veho360
Some people have reported that links no longer are clickable in the auto messages.
This is a vanilla minecraft issue for 1.7 and 100% client-side. Until Mojang fixes this I can't do anything about it.
You can try to shorten the urls which makes it easier for the players to write the url in to their browser.
