SimpleBroadcast

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Minecraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Important Note

I discontinued this plugin. If anyone would like to work on it, please fork the GitHub repository.
The plugin however still works properly, if you use the declared Minecraft versions.

Hey, yeah, you're making a little mistake. You shall not replace the first single quotes wich are already in the config when it's generated, you shall only replace your own single quotes if you wanna use them in your message. :)

You're using a " ' " (single quote). You aren't allowed to use them. Please us %sq% instead of it. ;)

Hi, I'm having this problem that for some reason it shows the default broadcast messages. This is my config:

enabled: true

delay: 60

prefix: enabled: true prefix: '&4:&kI&4:&6Undead Hunt&4:&kI&4:&6 -&6'

suffix: enabled: false suffix: '&d[v1.6]'

pluginmetrics: true

checkforupdates: true

randomizemessages: false

requiresonlineplayers: true

sendmessagestoconsole: true

------------------------- And. I replaced the actuall names with hidden because we're not opening this server yet. :P

Anyway, That was my config but it still shows the default messages.

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with SimpleBroadcaster, I changed the messages it's supposed to broadcast and the settings but it seems to be sending the default messages.

I've looked at the plugin files and the config file I edited is the only file that should be affecting what the broadcaster says. I've tried restarting my server and reloading the plugin but this doesn't seem to make a difference.

For this problem I added a little variable which you have to replace with the " ' ". It should look like that: 'Don%sq%t forget about..'

Is it not possible to make it so there are ' in messages? Like "Don't forget about" but when i add that to the config like this - 'Don't forget about'

All my messages get disabled and it reverts back to the original broadcast messages. Any fix for this?

Can you add messages for multi worlds?

For example:

world:
- &2Message
- &2Blah

world_nether:
- &cWelcome
- &cHello

I've created a ticket with my server console error.

Edit: If I thought you'd put Malware on to your own website I wouldn't let you know your website is being blocked by Antivirus...

I don't know why I should put Malware on my own website. Virustotal says my website is almost clean (you know, one always cry havoc). But don't worry, it's your decision.
