Tobi Motd
Tobi Motd is a simple Motd plugin (Like the one in the server.propeties but this one
comes up after you are logged on)
To change the motd open the config.yml file in the Tobi Motd
directory. To use the motd codes you simply add them in the line. Example:
MOTD : 'Welcome %NAME%, The time is now %TIME%'
would if i logged in when the world time (not real time) was 17.15 become
Welcome rosaage, The time is now 17:15
The New codes won't work in console!
News:
Small fixes
Newest Version: 2.9!
Commands:
/motd - to show the motd
/setmotd - to set the motd ingame
/tm - to reload the config (after manual update of config.yml)
/tm help - Help menu
/tm timer - edit timer settings.. read /tm help for more info
/TobiGUI - Open TobiGUI (Buildt in config editor for TobiMotd)
The Timer:
I'm not sure if everyone knows about it but there is a timer in the plugin.
The timer will when it has counted down show a message to everyone.
You will not see the countdown.
Some info about the config:
- The Timer Message is the message that will display when the timer has counted down
(If you have more then one the plugin will choose one at random.) - Timer Minuets, Seconds and ticks. These set how long it will be between each message.
(20 Ticks is one second) And Will be added together so if the Timer Seconds is on 60, and
Timer Minutes is one 1 the message will display every 2 minutes. - Output to console is very easy to understand, It's basically if the message should be broadcast to the console or not.
- And of course to use this Timer Enabled has to be true, if not the timer won't even run.
Permissions (SuperPermissions) - If you are OP you don't need permissions

tobimotd.set - Needed to set the Motd ingame

@Rosaage
Thanks a lot!
@Nickchens Added now!
Very Simple MOTD plugin, and thats all I needed thank you :D
Can you make a command(like %NAME%) to list all online players(maybe %ONLINE%)?
Sry for my bad english ^^
Is it possible to have a list of randomly repeating text like every 15 minutes?
@graywolf336 Yup add %NL% to the motd (case sensitive)
Any way of adding a new line?
2.3 will fix errors related to the txt file.
@webname
I'll set up this poll to see what people think:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tobi-motd/polls/do-you-want-me-to-change-back-to-yml-because-of-errors/
Im having trouble directly editing the file "MOTD.txt" ( under linux by the way ) runnin 1,1r4 1938 it does not seem to work if directly edited and im getting "11:08:00 [INFO] [TobiMotd] Error! copy this and make a issue at the thread: java.io.EOFException"
but works ok if i use "/setmotd" within the game now i also notice there's some extra characters at the begininning of the file that changed when i went from the default MOTD.txt and used "/setmotd" what are they ?. And how can i directly edit the file. Used 1.5 prior to this for rei's minimap mod enabling codes
Where im a going wrong
forgot to add im using tobi motd 2.2
@callmejordy265
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't craftbukkit go from R6 to R0?
Any plans on updating this to R7?
@ramsydk Not yet, will add this to my To-do list.
Does this by any chance support seperate motds for each world?
Fixed %NL% not working for client in v2.2
I just installed this on CB 1.1-R4 and the %NL% isn't working for me. I didn't really configure anything because it looked pretty "plug and play". Hints?
Haven't time to update thread but just released 2.0 with the most amazing feature yet, a MOTD.txt! No more the old config.yml.
but this will require you to copy the motd (without the " and " or ' and ') to the new MOTD.txt generated at startup.
If anyone get more errors post a ticket
