Solved Timed announcements

Discussion in 'Plugin Requests' started by Evano, Jul 21, 2015.

  1. I was curious if someone could make a plugin that announces an important message at a specific time with a GUI at the top of the screen possibly? Unlike Timed Execute, I need something that's NOT in seconds if that's at all possible. I tried to use Timed Execute however if I ever had to restart my server to apply an emergency Oxide hotfix or Steam Update it would throw off the timing because the automatic server restarts are scheduled through my hosts control panel not via a plugin.

    It would be nice if I could have special messages appear at certain times of the day specified by timezone with am/pm indication. Long story short I have shared hosting and due to the growing playerbase and high usage I need to reboot my server every 12 hours to free memory
    (says my host) it works great and most players have gotten use to it.

    However, newer players seem to think the server crashes all the time despite the messages I have in "Notifier" letting them know the server reboots twice daily. It's important to me that my players know that these "Crashes" are not crashes, but intended reboots because I care how my server is portrayed.

    In advanced, thanks :)
     
  2. So basically make a plugin that will announce something everyday at Xam/pm at the VPS's time?
     
  3. That's exactly it :) I need to be able to put multiple messages at specific times am/pm using the servers time.
     
  4. That sounds really easy to do, will take a look when i can.
     
  5. Thank you, i'd really appreciate it.
    [DOUBLEPOST=1437514506][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry for the bump but I wanted to add. It would be cool if these announcements didn't show up in chat and showed up similar to this

    Without the "From: Name" part - This is going to be for special announcements before automated restarts so I need them to stick out and be a little annoying so it draws their attention.

    Also if there is a way to make it execute a "Save" command at a specific time too that would be great but not a big deal if you can't. Sometimes the automatic restarts happen before a auto-save and it rolls back like 5 minutes :S
     
  6. Got the basic add new event based on GMT time up and reset all events just gotta sort pop up integration and ready for first REL :) for compatibility if you have no gui plugin it'll fire it to chat
     
  7. This is done already, If anyone could lock the thread or delete it.
