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:
Introduced to 1.2 is variables, please come with more suggestions to variables!

• ignorethisword - This will not be displayed!
• %date% - Server date
• %realservertime% - Server realtime
• %player% - the name of the player that sees the MOTD
• %IP% - ip adress of the player that is seeing the MOTD
• %world% - The world the player is on
• %level% - The player's experience level
• %xptonextlvl% - displays the xperience points to next level, (i think it does that atleast)
• %totalxp% - Displays the total experience points
• %foodlevel% - Your current food level
• %playertime% - The players realtime(or total playtime, need to doublecheck)
• %playercount% - Displays the amount of users online!

Todo List:

• Redo the size setting
• Add images Resize image fucntion
• Layers
• Add configurable buttons? - will kinda be in with the tab release!
• different tabs - my task after 1.5!
• "links"
• Various variables, like player, time, IP address etc... MORE variables!
• Add "ignorethismessage" as a variable to be ignored, (you cant start with %, so adding that wich wont be displayed solves the problem)

Known issues:

• none, for now...

Great idea. Needs some prettying up though. I'm sure once Spout 1.1 comes out there will be more GUI options though.

 

What do you maen by "prettying up"? Just want some feedback

 

At last someone dit it!!

 

@jonas_747

Yay someone coming into plugin development with an excellent plugin! You sir deserve the right to be called Plugin Dev. Btw Excellent plugin.

 

@jonas_747
You might wanna do something this
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-spout-help-menu.34999/

 

This is basically what I mean by "prettying up". I think it would be a good idea for these tabs to be different things. Maybe all customizable. Main one would be MOTD then I would like help, commands, then probably my website info on the last one. Something like that would be really cool.

 

Yeah it would be amazing if user could bring up menu and look up for custom recipes (image).

 

Thats what i hope for it to be! im new to spout so i dont know if i can make that background yet. but the tabs i can probably add .
Gonna work fro tags like %player% and such today, and redo the size.
Thanks for the kind words by the way

 

I've followed Spout since it came out. I know they planned on expanding the GUI API in 1.1. I'm sure there will be more options then. They even were working on getting an in game web browser.

 

Look out for spoiler tags spazzing out, you've got 2

 

Yeah i saw that, im excited too!

I dont know why, i added single

Code:

[spoiler] and [/spoiler]

and it just made 2

Love.

 

Can you upload the source ?

 

i'll do it after i get home from school,

Let me upload the standbard config for you...
Here you go

Theres around 50 downloads on it. Please give me some feedback on what i could add/change, and new variables you want me to add, does anyone want %money% for iconomy?

New Version!
Version 1.3

• %playercount%

Quick fix - v1.31

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

@jonas_747 Would it be possible to draw an image? Either from URL or from within the plugins folder? We currently have the Splash Screen plugin which displays an image only, but would really like to use your plugin and its extended features (variables!).

 

Working on it now!

1.4 is here!

• You can now add images!
• Players clicking close will no longer close the MOTD for others!

1.4.1 here with a smal fix:

• Fixes a bug where players taht disconnects from the server while having the MOTD open will crash the plugin.
