[INFO] LoginMessage v0.8.1 - Custom messages for login, command, death events and more! [1.2.5-R2.0]

Their language shows up as nothing? That's never happened to me before. Can you give the exact sentence in which you put %locale?

That's weird; maybe the latest CraftBukkit broke LoginMessage. I'll check it out.

Edit: If both of you have the latest CB, that actually might be the cause of both problems. Let's see.

This is in my BroadcastMessage.txt file

Code:

&2%nm&b logged on and their language is %locale.

I just released a quick update. Tell me if it works now!

It still leaves out the language.

It is completely blank? It just replaces %locale with absolutely no string of text whatsoever?

It is completely blank, no text at all is displayed.

But then for other players, it will display the language. Kind of 50/50 at the moment, some have their language displayed, others do not.

Is there any pattern on who's language is/isn't displayed?

Not really. People logging in from the UK will have missing language and some will have their language displayed. Might it be due to a firewall on the clients computer, blocking the plugin from getting their IP to check for their location?

I don't know much about firewalls and IPs and all that business, but LoginMessage should be able to get your IP. After all, you can see someone's IP via the console when they log in to the server.

Tell me if you make any new discoveries. Meanwhile, I'll add in new LM content and see if I can find a better system to get someone's country/language.

Right, tested it on my local machine and it said what language I was. But on my game server it wont tell me what my language is.

The only problem I have is that most people know the login message as /motd and if they type that in nothing happens.

I tried using this plugin in conjunction with mcdocs but then I don't see the output from loginmessage.

If you do make an option for /motd you need to edit essentials so they don't collide.

My essentials doesn't handle my motd or rules.

My server would crash my client and everyone elses client if I had multiple iChat commands on the same line, in the login-message file. Just spent the past 20 minutes figuring it out, testing what plugins caused the server to crash the client/browser. Just letting you know.

Example:

&biConomy&f /money help, &aBetterShop&f /shophelp
&eiMonster&f, &dLWC&f /lwc, &2Tombstone&f
&aPreciousStones /ps (check spawn for info)
&4Nether&f is disabled

^ Would crash players clients/browser

This doesn't work. Supposedly when you run the plugin for the first time it's supposed to load those three text files, mine only loads settings.properties.

Sorry, I've had a busy week/end. I think LoginMessage has been broken again, so I'll work on that. And when I say "work on that" I literally mean work on that, as I have time now and I'll be trying to get out some new LM content besides bug fixes.

So you all stay tuned, I haven't left you yet.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Do you mean that iChat is causing a conflict with LoginMessage? Please explain a little better.

Okay, I'll make sure to put that as an option in Settings.properties.

You're supposed to have three files in your folder. Then you put text in them, and they'll show when you log in (details in the OP).

Are you saying you have text in the files, yet nothing appears when you log in?

LoginMessage has been updated! Read the changelog. Also, don't forget to report any bugs to me (because you know there will be bugs)!

Does this plugin have the option to broadcast a message, from a group of messages, at a specific interval on the server?

My server needs a very, VERY basic function;

Set a # of messages, example;

message1
message2
message3

and every 3 minutes, go down a list and "broadcast" to the whole server, these messages, 1 by 1

very simple, and I can see most servers needing something like this, eg "Donate to help keep the server running!" type deal, but I can't seem to find a plugin that does this!

Does this plugin do that? Does anyone know of one that does?

It appears LoginMessage 0.5 works fine if it's the only plugin installed, but when I put Permissions 2.1 alongside it, LoginMessage stops displaying anything.

This causes two distinct error messages that I've seen:

[SEVERE] Could not pass event PLAYER_JOIN to LoginMessage
[SEVERE] Could not pass event PLAYER_COMMAND to LoginMessage

The second one appears when I type /lmsg. Oh, err and I'm using craftbukkit 424

Hi

Thx for your Help

Yes, it seems iChat is causing a problem.

Looks like %perol does not take in account 'prefix' from users settings like this:

And also it displays 'null' if suffix is empty and not ''

@Latros: I'm pretty sure AutoMessage does that.

@lysandergray: and KiPiCoOl: Try updating to a later Craftbukkit, i.e. one that works on MC Beta 1.3+.

@SpyDaniel: Update LoginMessage, CraftBukkit, iChat, and Permissions to their latest versions and see if it works! I have no idea why iChat would break LoginMessage...

@xPaw: %perol was designed for group prefixes/suffixes, but if you want to I could add another code for users.

I'm having this problem too.

Take a look on iChat, it takes in account these per-user values, so it's more correct

does this work with new new minecraft version beta 1.3_01 ???

Yeah, I guess you have a point there. Will a user prefix will still include a group prefix?

Again, please make sure your Craftbukkit is at least 443 which is what LoginMessage 0.5 is built on. This might be the cause of the problem. Also, please include more information when you report a bug. Thanks.

It works for 1.3, and there wasn't an update to minecraft_server.jar so yeah, it should still work .

so how do we type the stuff into login message and broadcast like what is the format
--- merged: Feb 23, 2011 7:21 PM ---
what is the format for login message and broadcast message like time colour message or somin?

Where is build 443, i love this plugin but i can only find up to 432 atm
http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/

So we wait for 443 ? or think its a typo ?

Aw, I've got the very latest CraftBukkit (git-Bukkit-0.0.0-450-gd3c1ba4-b432jnks MC: 1.3 version) and although LoginMessage 0.5 loads up fine, there's an error showing whenever someone enters. You know, the problem with PLAYER_JOIN event that Vortigern2008 there mentioned. I don't have iChat, or something like this installed, so I don't know.

Should I be waiting for the next Login Message update, or is there something else causing it?

Read the first post. Everything you need to know is there.

Woops! I was looking at the wrong version. The server version is a long string of confusing text. I was looking at "443", but the right one was 421! Thanks for pointing that out! *embarrassed*

What do you have installed? Anything chat related could cause a conflict. Then again, there might be some point in the code where it doesn't check to see if you have iChat and causes an error if you don't have it (an accident of course, like the iConomy problem).

what is the format for messages? [colour] [time] message is that right ? please reply asap
