MessageChangerLite

MessageChangerLite

This plugin should be still working on newer builds, so please try before asking.

A simple plugin which allows you to change the server's default messages which will be displayed during login, logoff, server down, kick, server full and more to whatever you want.

If you would like assistance in person, you can find me in IRC as Zach443 here.

Features

• Change the server's default messages
• Display a message to the player when he changes worlds
• Implements Metrics so that I know it is worth doing this.

Based upon FrozenBrains MessageChanger.

Configuration

Will create a config.yml file on first run in the plugins/MessageChangerLite directory. Edit the messages as you like and restart or reload the server to make them active.

%pName is the playername
%world is the worldname
%msg is the default mesage
You can use colorcodes from here

The example config contains already 2 permission nodes for displaying custom messages based on permissions.
If the EVENT like SERVER_FULL doesn't exist, for example in permnode1 the plugin will fall back to the messages configured in the default section.

Permissions

Looking at the sample / default config:

• permnode1 is messagechanger.message.permnode1
• permnode2 is messagechanger.message.permnode2

Of course you can call permnode1 and permnode2 whatever you like.
NOTE: Permissions will be parsed based on the categoryOrder config node.
As soon as the plugin finds a permission it will try that category, if it doesn't find a message than it will fall back to the default!

FAQ

• Q: Join and Leave messages are not working, the rest is.
  A: You need to turn off Join / Leave messages in AdminCMD
• Q: I see strange results with the permission nodes. Why?
  A: I do parse the permission nodes in the categoryOrder, but I fall back to default if a permission node doesn't have a message.
  So I don't check for more than ONE permission node!
