Information Announcer

Mughisi updated Information Announcer with a new update entry:

Bug fix

 

thanks alot.. wont bugger you anymore

 

It seems that now we cant edit the 'Announcer.json' anumore... asa the server restarts it goes back to the default settings...

 

Hmm that shouldn't happen I'll have another look at it
[DOUBLEPOST=1430864071][/DOUBLEPOST]Just double-checked and it's working as intended, keep in mind that if your config is corrupted (invalid character somewhere) it will revert to the default config. It might be worth checking out if your json is valid on www.jsonlint.com

 

yes it was a problem with the a invalid character, tyvm !

 

is there a way you can add a option so you can turn on and off to show admins join/leaves ?

 

I would have to look at the RoK permissions system, or perhaps add some sort of list of steamids that shouldn't be shown

 

it would be great.. its hard now to make a sneak login to see if they all follow the rules

 

I don't want to throw out ideas that would keep you from working on other Plugins, but I do have a question about this plugin's future capabilities.

Will there be a way to exclude specific users from the log on/log off notice? For example, if an Admin were trying to be incognito.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

 

Oh man, I totally spaced on reading that. Sorry! Thanks for answering still!

 

Looks great to have. How do you go about installing the file/where do I put it???

 

sorry for the dumb question buddy, just found it. I just assumed it may be a different install place than the oxide files
[DOUBLEPOST=1430938770][/DOUBLEPOST]Well I extracted all the files in my /ROK/reign of kings/ folder on my dedicated server. I then restarted the server but nothing seems to have happened
[DOUBLEPOST=1430940828][/DOUBLEPOST]its ok mate, cup of coffee later and all sorted ;0)

 

To begin, great work Mughisi! We thank you for helping revitalize RoK with your plugins!

Now the gritty. When I updated RoK and Oxide for Alpha 13 Announcer reset to default settings. Not an issue. However, when I went in and set everything up as it should, it refused to cooperate in-game. The Announcer.json is customized and verified at http://jsonlint.com/. Even though it shows up properly in the .json, it remains at default in the game. Not sure what happened, but it worked beautifully before Alpha 13 hit. :-(

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

 

Was it resetting the config file to the default values after restarting the server? Because I just updated my local test server checked rules ingame, modified the rules and reloaded the config and then used rules in-game and I could see the changes. Also tried restarting and my changes in the config were still there and showed correctly in-game. You aren't the only one however that has mentioned this to me, also noticed this for a few players with other plugins for other games as well but I currently have no clue on what could be causing this.

 

It looks good in the config, but in-game it just shows the defaults as if they were never modified.

Is there a way to uninstall the plugin and reinstall? Do I just delete the Announcer.cs and Announcer.json?

 

Did you restart the server after making changes to the config file because if the server is already running it won't load the values again until the plugin is reloaded or the server restarts.

 

I made the changes when the server was stopped. I didn't start it again until I was finished. I tried restarting my server a few more times to test it and see if it worked. Always just showed defaults.
