[INACTIVE][CHAT] ScheduledAnnouncer 1.8.1 - Auto Broadcasts by a Scheduler [1.1-R4]

ScheduledAnnouncer [Version 1.8.1]

Download - Source - Issues

Scheduled Announcer is a very simple tool, which only does what's its name told us. It automatically sends a broadcast out of a list controlled by a schedule.

Features:

• Sends Scheduled Broadcast to all Players
• Easy to configure by 'config.yml' or ingame with the '/announce' command.
• Supports colors (&1, &2... &9, &a, &b... &f) and newlines with &n.
• Supports executing commands inside Announcements. (Like "Now it will get day!&n/time day")
• Supports newest Bukkit permissions system!

1. Download the latest Release
2. Drag&Drop the JAR file to your 'plugin/' directory
3. Restart or reload your server

There's a video tutorial on how to setup and configure that plugin on YouTube too. Thanks to @BrandonHopkins!

# ScheduledAnnouncer Configuration File
# =====================================
#
# Don't use tabs in *.yml file!
#

announcement:
    # Use this flag to temporary disable the announcements.
    # enabled: false, means that there wouldn't be any announcements.
    enabled: true

    # Set this to true will announce in random order.
    # 'false' will announce in sequential (one after another) order.
    random: false

    # Defines the prefix for the announcement. Use & + hex char 
    # for color codes.
    prefix: '&c[Announcement] '

    # The time of one interval in seconds.
    interval: 100

    # List of messages to announce. You could use color codes by
    # using & + hex chars too. &n will produce a new line.
    messages:
    - 'This is the first default announcement!'
    - 'Use /announce help to get info how to config this plugin.'
    - 'You can also configure this plugin with its config.yml too!'
