Description

BetterAnnounce

What is it?

Just another broadcast plugin, but it is meant to use as little server resources as possible, and still have capabilities to rival other broadcast plugins on here! Currently supports color codes, prefixing messages and custom intervals. If you'd like to see more features, please make a comment or file a ticket requesting the feature you are looking for.

Why, if there are already a multitude of broadcast plugins?

The thing I most dislike about other plugins is that they are so wrapped up in providing support for this and for that because of commands, they do not see the performance drops they are getting from their plugins because so many different features are being used at a time. My plugin aims to change this, as it is a one-class, 100 line plugin and still has much of the capabilites that those very plugins have.


Permissions

In order to use this function, you must enable group-announce.

announcements:
  default:
   - 'BetterAnnounce rules!'
   - 'You can even use &4COLOR CODES&f!'
   - 'Real men use &3BetterAnnounce&f!'
  moderator:
   - 'Your administrator has installed &3BetterAnnounce'
   - 'Let them know they''ve made the right decision!'
  admin:
   - 'Good job admin, you''ve successfully installed &3BetterAnnounce&f!'
   - 'You can now change these messages, as well as the permission node they will apply to in the config!'

In this example, everyone would get the "default" announcements, but only people with the permission nodes

betterannounce.receive.moderator

and

betterannounce.receive.admin

would get the announcements under their respective categories.

Configuration

Very simple configuration, can even be edited on the fly and all changes will be immediately mirrored, with one exception - interval period. Interval changes will not take effect until the next reload.

Using contractions When using contractions such as can't, won't and we're, follow the steps below.

announcements:
 - 'I'm an announcement that won't work properly!'
announcements:
 - 'I''m an announcement that WILL work properly!'
