GUIAnnouncements

{playername} is not supported in the new player announcements. Added it to the update I am currently working on though.

 

got it. what would the reason be it isn't going away? TY for the help BTW.

 

The announcements from the new player announcements list don't go away? Does it cycle through your list?

 

It does not go away. I just have this. Is only having 1 an issue?

"NewPlayerAnnouncementsList": [
"{playername} is now here. You've been warned!"
],

 

The {playername} wouldn't be what could cause that. It's a fault in the logic of my code not checking for one announcement and is -1 to the announcement count making the timer repeat infinitely. I'll make a note of it for my next update.

Also those announcements are private, only shown to the player that has joined with the purpose of displaying information to them as they are new. I have coded a feature for the update that seems to fit the purpose you are after though which supports {playername} and {group} so you can have "VIP JoeSheep joined the server! Quiver in fear!"

 

nice. so right now there are only messages to the player that joins not to the server? Will that update include an announcement to the server? I think that's what you are saying..

 

Yeah that's correct. The update will have a global announcement when a player joins. I'm also trying to redo the config so it is as easy as possible to understand as how I have it now is not the best.

 

that is great news. Any idea as to when that might be done?

 

Currently working on what I think is the last thing to implement then after testing and fixing anything I find I can release the update.

 

anyway to set the new announcement to 0 to have it announce all the time? or like a -1 or something?

 

If you want the newplayerannouncements to show all the time just set the showtimes number to something like 99999999999. If you have only one announcement then that will show and not go away, so maybe try putting two in there.

@enims You can have just one new player announcement now and it won't stay there for ever

 

Great work!

[DOUBLEPOST=1489886518][/DOUBLEPOST]looks like it only happens if Public Auto Timed Ann is enabled

 

I can put more messages gui "Join Text":"{rank} {playername} has joined." in sequence ?

 

Same problem, Disabled Automatic Timed Messages and it loaded without problems.

Thanks for reporting that, I just missed something. Reuploaded the update which contains the fix.
[DOUBLEPOST=1489926209][/DOUBLEPOST]

Sorry but the join/leave messages only support a single announcement/line. Out of curiosity, what would you use multiple announcements for?

 

When the plugin in french thank you.

 

Is that a statement or a question? Either way I'm not sure I understand.
