OfflineMessenger

OfflineMessenger

I made this for MC version 1.6.4, so it probably works with a few older and newer versions too, i just haven't tested yet; it uses craftbukkit

This is (opinion...) a better alternative for essentials' /mail command. This plugin also allows coloured messages too.

You can "Queue" a message for a player, and when they join, they will receive that message about 5 seconds later (customisable in config.yml). It will also message players who are online too (just after sending, but you could just use /msg though...).

The messages aren't automatically cleared, you can run the command /om clear to clear your messages. You can also send messages from console, or from the messageQueue.yml config, then run /om reload to load the messages from the config

there is a slight "bug" in the plugin; every time a player joins, in console it will say the player has pending messages regardless of if they do or dont have pending messages. will fix soon :))

Requirements

This uses PermissionsEx, so you need that (or anything thats called ru.tehkode.permissions.bukkit.PermissionsEx)

The permissions themselves are:

• om.clearPlayer (Permission to clear other players' messages)
• om.sendPlayer(Permission to send messages to other players)
• om.showPlayer (Permission to see other players' queued messages)

Features

• Supports colourful text
• Allows messages from multiple people

Commands

• /offlinemessenger or /om
• /om help
• /om show [player] (optionally put a player after show to show you their messages)
• /om send <player> <message> (to use spaces in messages, use the underscore character. to use colours, use the & symbol)
• /om clear [player] (optionally, put a player after clear to clear their messages
• /om reload (reload both configs)

Config

the messageQueue.yml config is structured like so (dont remove "queued"):

queued:
  PlayerToReceiveTheMessages:
    Sender1: '&4The Message &7here with &3colourful &atext &c:)'
    Sender2: 'e'
  AnotherReceiverPlayer:
    SomePerson: '&4no ok'

the config is written to each time someone sends or clears messages, there isnt a periodic save its just done instantly
