GUIAnnouncements

I could make a command to turn off the announcements but there wouldn't be any way to differentiate between normal helicopters and those that have been spawned by an event.

 

Would there be a way for the plugin dev of Chopper Survival be able to use a hook to disable gui notifications whilst the event is running?

 

If I put in a hook then yeah, I think the control should really be within my plugin so Chopper Survival would need some way of giving information that an event is running. That way my plugin decides whether or not to announce rather than the potential to have more than one plugin controlling the same variable.

 

aye agreed, @k1lly0u would you be willing to work with JoeSheep to make this happen? Would really, really help differentiate between event choppers and the (on my server) hourly default chopper that tours the map.

 

I'm attempting to use the restarts function of this plugin. I'd like the server to restart at 8AM 4PM and 12AM so i set up the public restart announcements to what i could tell would be the correct times, then i reloaded the plugin and got this error:
(17:59:32) | Failed to call hook 'OnServerInitialized' on plugin 'GUIAnnouncements v1.23.81' (FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.)

this is the config i set up to attempt this restarting and got the error with this.

Code:

 "Public Restart Announcements": {
    "Announce With Time Left (HH:MM:SS)": [
      "08:00:00",
      "07:00:00",
      "06:00:00",
      "05:00:00",
      "04:00:00",
      "03:00:00",
      "02:00:00",
      "01:00:00",
      "00:45:00",
      "00:30:00",
      "00:15:00",
      "00:05:00"
    ],
    "Banner Color": "Grey",
    "Cancelled Scheduled Restart Text": "The restart in {time} has been cancelled.",
    "Enabled": true,
    "Restart Announcement Text": "Restarting in {time}",
    "Restart At (HH:MM:SS)": [
      "08:00:00",
      "16:00:00",
      "24:00:00"
    ],
    "Restart My Server": true,
    "Suspended Restart Text": "The restart in {time} has been suspended.",
    "Text Color": "White"
  },

 

Change your 24:00:00 to 00:00:00 as the 24th hour essentially doesn't exist. Goes 23:59:59 then back to 00:00:00 To avoid confusion with this I might actually code in a conversion.

 

I figured out how to make this run with the in-game timer! You can use TimedExecute's in-game timer and just put announce.announce yourmessagehere in the desired timeslot and it works. Temporary fix until this one allows it's own in-game timer!

 

This does do announcements by the in game time though

 

NVM ! Found it

 

... good plugin, but position is not always good ! I want it not on top, i want banner / text bottom (see pic), how i make it ?

If this is not possible, is there gibs alternative plugin with Automatic Timed Announcements ?

 

This setting in the config:

Code:

"General Settings":{
   "Adjust Vertical Position":0.0,

Will move the banner up and down. Negative number moves it down and a positive number moves it up.

 

OK, its working, Thank U

 

@JoeSheep

any chance we can get this updated for the new Bradley APC to announce last shot like the Heli ?

Thanks

 

+1 please, please, please

 

Sure, I'll add it to my Trello list.

 

Thanks

 

Just to let everyone know. I no longer run my own server so I am out of the loop when it comes to updates to the game. Which means if an update breaks part of this plugin, I won't know unless some one mentions it. So please, if you notice anything wrong do not hesitate to post it here with as much information as possible. Thanks!
