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

@Eccentric Warmonger: It should tell you when you start the server. It'll say something like "b***" with the asterisks being the number. Also, can you show me the error if there is one? And what your .txt files look like?

@Linaks: Do you have Permissions? If so, downgrade. IDK what GroupManager is, but all you need to do is find the "2.0" link on the Permission topic, and replace the Permissions.jar from that link with the one in your plugins folder.

@glata: Please show me the error message. If you have Permissions 2.1 it might not work (even if you aren't using the Permissions related codes).

Also, thanks Lance and jwideman for helping out while I was away today/yesterday.

Tahkeh,

Can you point me in the direction of the newest CB? Mine doesn't tell me anything when I start the server, so I could have an old or outdated CB version.

Here are my text files:

LoginMessage.txt: Hello &4%nm &fand welcome to the EG Minecraft server.
Current players online: &3%ol.
For a list of rules and to see the server mods,
visit www.egclan.org


The BroadcastMessage.txt is empty.

Settings.properties:
#Thu Feb 24 16:16:42 CST 2011
iConomy-Currency=coins
/motd-Command=true
Broadcast-All=false

Would you like the server.properties file as well? I think my CB build is: 450
Implementation-Version: git-Bukkit-0.0.0-450-gd3c1ba4-b432jnks

Thanks, it tells me right there: b432jnks (Jenkins). Your build is 432, which LoginMessage should work on. Your LoginMessage.txt looks fine too...

Does it show you an error message? If so, can you paste it here inside code tags? Also, do you have Permissions and/or iChat?

When someone logs on, It shows the loginmessage 3 times. How do i fix it?

EDIT: I fixed it my self. No worries.

Somehow LoginMessage has been fixed.
I was simply playing around with the code, updated LoginMessage, redownloaded Permissions 2.1, and it worked. I've updated LoginMessage.jar on Dropbox, so redownload it and Permissions 2.1. Also, make sure the config.yml file in your Permissions file is renamed to your default server world's name (mine is world.yml).

Also thank Jambokid, he is the one that pointed out to me that LoginMessage works, you just have to rename that configuration file. Also, make sure to redownload Permissions 2.1 or the unofficial 2.2. There might have been some subtle fix when Nijikokun fixed the broken Permissions link.

Edit: Also, of awesomeness, this is my 100th post.

*cue: the first 3 verses of Portal's Still Alive*

It throws exception for me on 0.5_1

It worked on 0.5, but the %perol didn't work there, lol

No there are no error messages and nothing displays when I enter the server. Last night I deleted all my plugins because it just seems that none of them are working. I am going to try and reinstall this again today and see what happens. The only plugin that is working is "World Edit", so I know the server is using the craftbukkit wrapper.

Same here.
I'm using CraftBukkit Build #446.
Mac OS X 10.6.6

Lastest CB build et LoginMessage

I'm getting the same error b440jnks

@Everyone getting this long error: I assume you're using Permissions. Redownload Permissions 2.1 or get the unofficial 2.2 and see if that works. Make sure to rename config.yml to yourworldnamehere.yml!

@Eccentric Warmonger: That might be a problem with your server then, so yeah, I'd reinstall if I were you. Move your .bat file and your CraftBukkit .jar file to another folder, then run the .bat and see if your plugins work there.

After taking a closer look, it seems you have a different error...it's caused by iConomy. I guess the API has been updated. I'll update it too in LoginMessage with a quick fix. Look out for v0.5_2.

I installed permissions 2.4, don't use iConomy, still same error.

Did a quick update for the iConomy API. With LoginMessage v0.5_2, you have to update your iConomy to v3.0 (or don't, if you don't have iConomy. LoginMessage should work without it).

Try 2.3 or 2.2. Or even better, Nijikokun's 2.1. Supposedly the namespaces (changing this would cause breakage) were changed in 2.4, but LoginMessage has been tested and works on 2.1 and the unofficial 2.2. I just want to keep LoginMessage working with the official Permissions until Nijikokun tells us if Permissions will be handed over to TheYeti or not.

I just updated Bukkit and CraftBukkit from git and am currently running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-0.0.0-471-gbd27aca (MC: 1.3)

I get this in the log on startup:

Code:

As a point of reference, I had that problem, and it started working after I downloaded git-Bukkit-0.0.0-458-g557f3d2-b440jnks of craftbukkit. Only other thing I had updated was Tombstone and SlowHealth.

Right, I think commands might have been broken in a recent update. I'll wait until another recommended build to fix any problems, which right now is #440.

They removed onPlayerCommand (PLAYER_COMMAND)

Yeah. So anyways, did you ever get LoginMessage to work?

Can't test because of that. And i had 2.1 running before, it didn't work there.

I suggest using the last recommended build, as it is recommended...and LoginMessage will now be built to work on the last recommended build (however, I will be preparing for the removal of onPlayerCommand).

Also, did you redownload 2.1 when I posted last night and rename config.yml to your-world's-name.yml? Because I think Nijikokun might've updated Permissions 2.1 last night but didn't tell anyone.

Ofcourse i renamed, otherwise my other stuff like chat colors, commands didn't work.

@Tahkeh I get this error when i am starting the server:

I updated to Iconomy 4.0 and now the Login message doesn't work. My message doesn't include %bal either.

I get an error

Code:

Could not pass event PLAYER_JOIN to LoginMessage

so it's dead, I don't get anything in the chat
using latest recommended and iconomy 3.0 (not 4.0)

Yeah it worked fine before the removal of PLAYER_COMMAND. I was aware at the time of my posting that the API changed, hence the linking to the git commits in Bukkit/CraftBukkit. Basically it was just a heads up.
As much as i'd want it to work i think i can wait a couple of days until the recommended CraftBukkit build is above 470

Using bukkit 440 recommended. Tried permissions 2.2-2.3-2.4 same problem. It works fine without permissions. Is it that permissions is already using the newer commands? Old 2.1 download link is broken.

Niji has officially turned the reigns for Permissions over to TheYeti. Please either update for that, or support GroupManager.

I really like loginmessage and couldn't run my server without it, but I would really like to use permissions too. Every time I try to use any version of permissions I get an error like this, and loginmessage does not work.
