SpoutBroadcast
SpoutBroadcast is a plugin that displays text in the SpoutCraft window. This text can be set in the configuration file and can be overridden at any point via command. The text in the configuration file supports colour codes and the commands support colour names defined in the configuration file.
Features
- A configuration file to change the various options including colours and time delays.
- A file to store the messages and optionally their individual colours.
- Alternative messages can be set for players without Spoutcraft (sent via chat). Add 'messageAlt: This is an alternate message for non-spoutcraft users' without the quotes below each message in your messages file. This allows you to send an alternate message with formatting supported by your chat plugin to these users.
- A command to override the current text to broadcast important messages.
- A command to display a popup for one player with a message to get their attention.
- Supports permissions via Vault.
- Global Override - Override The Message For Everyone Until A Delay Is Over. Supports colours defined in the configuration file.

To-Do
- Add More In Game Errors/Usage Help.
- Add a welcome message system?
Would be nice to be able to use / and æ ø å in the text so you could use broadcast to show people some standard commands and scandinavian letters :)
@randomer679
thanks, that sounds good
forget about question one, i messed up :D
@minecraftyord
I don't understand what you mean by which project? lol messages are only one colour due to a spout limitation :) and there is only basic non-spoutcraft functionality (it was a slight typo :P) that sends the messages via chat to people without the client. By improve I mean I'm going to allow customization of the chat messages and possibly allow people to opt in and out of receiving messages via the chat instead of the window :)
1st: which project? :D
and 2nd: you write 'Improve none Spoutcraft functionality. ' Does that mean that there IS functionality and it doesnt work very well, or that there isnt any at all? If not, PLEASE do it, it would help a lot :)
OH: and can you change colors within a message so that half of it is blue and the rest green for example?

I was going to but when I tried to sign up hadn't been enabled yet and I never got round to it again :P I'll probably do it in the next week and try and get my current project on its first release as well.

Thanks for keeping this updated! It would be great to post this on getspout.org as well, it's a good community, and it could get more attention there. Even if you link the actual download back here :P
@sheepwool7
Thanks! If you ever have any feature requests don't hesitate to ask as at the moment I cannot think of anything to add so I'm just making sure it works with every new build :) I have another plugin I'm currently working on taking most of my time but I'd gladly add new features to this one :D
I will totally put this on my server, I just need to get more users on spout (: I'll post the IP when it's up! No, I'll post the IP now, and then make a new comment when it's up..!

@Wulfspider
I was planning on adding this eventually :P I'll probably add it in my update I've got waiting to release :)
A feature suggestion for you... x/y placement for positioning the message on the screen.
Hey KrYojeNiX it should work fine on 1185 :) sorry about skipping a build but I was doing a lot of updates to the plugin as you may have noticed and a new RB was released whilst I was still updating it so I released it for that. So long as you use the latest RB of spout it should work :) I'll be sure to visit your server once its up, thanks! :)
Hi, was using your cool plugin on our 1.7 server before updating to 1.8. but was sad to see no 1185 ? Not tried the 1240 build as not all our plugins are updated to it yet so we are stuck on 1185 for now Do you know if this has any issues or will work with 1185 before we try it? Been messing members around enough testing stuff and with the recent minecraft changes just passed and still to come.. Oh my..... lol Had already tried the 1060 but had no luck, that might have been spout related as been having a lot of members complain about it not functioning like it should if at all lol Will definantly be using this again as soon as we can update to 1240 :) Find it extremely helpfull to display whats available on server, common commands that especially new members struggle with and also displaying the website address at regular intervals. Thanks again :) p.s. ya welcome to come check out on server once we get it back on :P
Can't wait to test this.
WTB a download link. I'd be happy to post a video tutorial as payment.
If you can do something similar to SpoutEssential's 'splash screen' without all the bloat...either as part of this plugin or something seperate...it'd be appreciated.
About time. :D
