Config Guide:​

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

The Config thats generated looks like this:​

Code:

Texts:
    text1:
        text: This is a demo text
        color:
            red: 1
            blue: 1
            green: 1
        posy: 100
        posx: 100
        size: 2

text1 - text1 is the name of that text, 2 texts cant have the same name
text - This is the text that will be displayed
Color red, blue, green - This is the color of the tex, in RGB format, maximum number for the is 255, if you go past that the color will just be black
posy - Y position of the text
posx - X position of the text
size - The size of the text, you cannot make decimals at the moment. You can in 1.2!
like this: 1.13 is one size.
Multiple texts:

you can add more texts easily, just simply do like this:

Code:

    text1:
        text: This is text 1
        color:
            red: 1
            blue: 1
            green: 1
        posy: 100
        posx: 100
        size: 2
    text2:
        text: this is text 2, both of us will be displayed!
        color:
            red: 1
            blue: 1
            green: 1
        posy: 100
        posx: 100
        size: 2

Just remember that 2 texts cant have the same name, then only one text will be displayed
i have no idea what the maximum number is but i guess you could go over 1000's of texts if you want.


Images:
introduced in 1.4 is images!
Image formats: png or jpg only!
Image height cant be bigger than 239! If it is, your image wont be displayed
its very simple how to add them just add this to your config:

Code:

Images:
    Image1:
        url: http://forums.bukkit.org/data/avatars/l/3/3659.jpg?1316978098
        posx: 100
        posy: 10

Heres a example with a text that wont be displayed:

Code:

Texts:
    text1:
        text: ignorethisword
        color:
            red: 100
            blue: 1
            green: 1
        posy: 150
        posx: 150
        size: 1.5
Images:
    Image1:
        url: http://forums.bukkit.org/data/avatars/l/3/3659.jpg?1316978098
        posx: 100
        posy: 10

Very easy!
You can also add as many images as you wish

General config settings:
Hotkey - This is the hotkey to open the MOTD Simply put in KEY_yourpreferedkeyhere list over possible keys: here
Closebuttontext - This is the text that is on the close button
hometab - Does nothing, ignore this
hotkey_is_enabled - true or false, you want the hotkey to be enabled or not?
only_display_on_first_time_joined - Only display the popup on player join if the player has never joined the server before.

Variables:

Keep getting this. Also, it didn't auto generate a config folder.

 

I'm having an issue configuring colours. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's probably very obvious.
My config looks like this

Code:

Texts:
    text1:
        text: Test text.
        color:
            red: 0
            blue: 0
            green: 256
        posy: 8
        posx: 8
        size: 1.5
General:
    closebuttontext: Close
    homeTab: home - does nothing yet
    hotkey_is_enabled: true
    hotkey: KEY_M
    only_display_on_first_time_joined: false

However, this just makes the text show up as black.
What am I doing wrong?

 

Hmm, i cannot seem to recreate that bug, how many people are logged into the server? does it only occour when someone types /smotd? does the MOTD still show? as for the config, here you have a rar with it,:

The maximum number for the colors is 255

 

Freaking awesome !
Oh yeah, what about a support for png transparent images ?

Edit: I'm admin but I havent permissions with your plugin, which permissions plugin does it support ? I'm using Permissions 3.1.6

 

It uses bukkit permissions, superperm iirc

Edit: Are you sure transperent images dont work?

 

I tried, only .jpg files works.

 

That weird, on the sppout wiki it says it supports PNG's, o.o
Edit: i tried a png image when i tested it, so i dont know why it wont work...

 

MMm maybe I just failed x)

 

will you upload the source? would really like that

 

Im not home ATM, so i cant, but im unsure about the whole giving out source thing.

 

why?
I don't want to copy your plugin!!!
I just want another plugin based on a spout gui, and I like to start from another plugin that uses it then.
so I make nearly all my plugins

 

What do I think of it?
In the past I've had a wall with signs all over it next to the spawn. It had basic commands and how to get help.
This would be a great replacement for that.

 

Thanks! please post a screenshot of how it looks,(sensoring out the server name offcourse)

 

I would so much a support for Permissions 3.x.x

 

We'll see tomorrow, i have started on another plugin too

 

Ok.
When I saw your plugin first time, I thinked about this:


This is a kind of character sheet with his rank, his job, his money, and some links set his house and teleport himself to. (some shortcuts to help menu, shop, capes, etc ...)
I wondered if it was possible with Spout, so if you're plugin come with more customisables buttons, it could looks as cool as that 8D

Its really the plugin of my dream, so i'm everydays everyhours looking at your thread for more *o*

 

Im workign on tabs currently, wich was halted a bit, but before im releasing tabs im adding another option to set the render priority of an image, button or text. after that i will work further on tabs and make fully configurable new hotkeys so you can for example have h set to "home" and c set to commands tab or somethign like that, option to hide the tab button will also be added more variables and yeah, configurable buttons wich has configurabel commands! configurable is my keyword here X)

 

I really like the picture adding update!

 

Wow. Stupid typo on my part. Thanks.

 

Sure pictures works? i tryed .png and .jpg, both not workign for me: here is the set up file:

Using your latest version, bukkit recommended for Mc 1.8 and recommened spout/spoutcraft

 

Image height cant be bigger than 239! If it is, your image wont be displayed Just discovered

 

Jap, you are right. Works now in .png. Nice
Any progress about your Tab-Working?

 

I was away this weekend and will start working when i get home soon

 

Nice, I made a donation

 

Are you the guy who sent a 1NOK donation? o.o it all got lost in fees lol

 

This and various other plugins are having problems with the new version of towny. Rather lame, as this is quite a helpful plugin. Do hope something gets worked out =D
