Update 1.4.6

Kix's Auto Announcer ++

1.0.7 | 1.8-1.14.4 SUPPORT! Major fixes, improvements, and optimizations.

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.7

It is highly recommended you update to this version as soon as possible as it provides much more stability than 1.0.6 along with some nice improvements!

Changes & Improvements

Full version support expanded to 1.8+. The plugin now works without errors on versions 1.8-1.14.4. This includes 1.8, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, etc, and all the way to the latest Minecraft release!

Added a version independent sound system, 1.8+ sounds will be remapped to the appropriate 1.9+ sounds and vice versa when necessary.

Removed the %slayed-mob name% placeholders as they are in use by very little (if any) people and conflict with such a wide range of version support.

Fixed multiple issues regarding some tab auto complete options not appearing with certain commands.

All commands now properly show in-depth tab auto complete arguments.

Tab auto complete now sorts possible results as you're typing the command to provide true tab auto complete based off of what is already typed.

Added "<< Change Pages >>" clickable text to the help list to provide an easier navigation experience. Compare to how the broadcast list pages function.

Added new /an exportstyle command to allow users to export their current header, footer, prefix, and centering options to one magic string of code.
Added new /an importstyle command to allow users to import a generated export of styles via a style code.

When running /an preview without specifying a broadcast number: in addition to the generic left aligned preview there is now a 2d generic preview that shows the generic text center aligned.

When previewing a target broadcast with /an preview <number> the (preview) text is now "(Announcement [num] preview)"

Added additional checks to the /an setsound command to ensure the pitch is within the valid range of 0, 1, or 2.

Made small changes to various output / response messages from commands.
Changed the quick action hover text for "Define broadcast worlds" to include "(default: all worlds)".

Removed "<erase and enter permission node here>" from the set visibility permission quick action. The tab autocomplete shows what to type now, so that text is not necessary.

Removed "<erase and enter world names separated by commas here>" from define broadcast worlds quick action. The tab autocomplete shows what to type now, so that text is not necessary.

Tidied code and did some pretty major optimizations through code deletion and more efficient writing.

Bug fixes

FIXED: Tab auto complete only showed all the plugins commands, no matter the argument within a subcommand. Now, tab auto complete functions as expected and shows proper arguments for each command and displays some writing errors such as no broadcasts available when attempting to delete a broadcast, and more.

FIXED: A small display issue that made a strange symbol appear before any colorcodes in the "Added Broadcast" output.

FIXED: If there was an error with the preview command, such as the player providing an improper broadcast number the plugin would show the error message output but also showed the header and footer. Only the error message appears now.

FIXED: "ALLWORLDS" setting in the config instead of "ALL" when using the /an setworlds command which caused fatal errors.

FIXED: In some cases settings changed via commands did not update right away. Now, every setting change made via a command should instantly update without requiring the server to be restarted or the use of /an reload. The /an reload command should only be necessary if a manual change to the config file was made.

Updating Steps

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-x.x.x-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.
Place the new KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0.7-PREMIUM.jar in your plugins folder.
Restart your server.

1.0.5 | Version bug fix + other improvements

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.5

Changes & Improvements

The preview command (/an preview) now supports viewing specific announcements. In addition, "(Preview)" now shows at the top of previewed broadcasts to prevent confusion between automatic broadcasts and previewed broadcasts in chat. If the broadcast number is left blank, the command will display a preview with a generic message as the broadcast text like previously. New command syntax: /an preview [optional broadcast number]

General code optimizations and cleanup.

Bug fixes

FIXED: Kix's Auto Announcer ++ 1.0.3 broke version support for Minecraft 1.13.x. This release will work with Minecraft versions 1.13.x through 1.14.x like originally intended in the last release.

Updating Steps

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-x.x.x-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.
Place the new KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0.5-PREMIUM.jar in your plugins folder.

1.0.4 | 1.14.4 Support

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.4

Changelog

The plugin is now compiled with the 1.14.4 version of the Spigot API. This is mainly just to stay up to date on new Minecraft releases and provide easier transition in future releases if a feature requires this API version.

Updating Steps

This update is not mandatory. Previous plugin versions such as 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 should work just fine on Minecraft 1.14.4 without updating to this release.

However, if you come across any problems that seem version related, please update to this release before requesting support.

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-x.x.x-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.
Place the new KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0.4-PREMIUM.jar in your plugins folder.

1.0.3 | Improvements and bug fixes

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.3

Changes & Improvements

The custom broadcast command (/an cbc) now supports left-aligned and center alignments. New command syntax: /an cbc <'left' or 'center'> <broadcast content>

The set sound command (/an setsound) now supports the option for pitch modification. New command syntax: /an setsound <sound name or 'none' to turn off> [optional pitch]

The custom broadcast command (/an cbc) now supports the usage of Placeholder API placeholders (in addition to built in placeholders).

The broadcast list (/an broadcastlist) now shows broadcast alignment (left aligned, center aligned) under broadcasts in their attribute lists.

The preview command (/an preview) now is able to display header and footers center aligned (if they're set to be centered).

The set header and set footer (/an setheader, /an setfooter) commands now displays new lines as actual new lines in the chat, instead of "%nl%" placeholders in the place of new lines.

The set header and set footer (/an setheader, /an setfooter) commands now displays alignment accurately, instead of always left-aligned.

The added broadcast (/an addbroadcast) message now shows the number of the added broadcast for quick reference in the case that you have to delete, edit, or run other commands that require the broadcast number right after it's added.

Added additional comments in the config to note what certain entries mean more clearly. (only visible when the config is first generated).

Removed some unnecessary console messages and edited some of the current messages to be more clear and direct in their meaning.

General code optimizations and cleanup.

Bug fixes

FIXED: When using automatic centering, automatically inserted new lines lose their current colorcode formatting.

FIXED: Automatic centering breaks in the header / footer when there are multiple lines.

FIXED: Announcements stop appearing when the header is turned off via /an setheader NONE.

FIXED: Announcement sound is off pitch.

Updating Steps

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-x.x.x-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.

1.0.2 | Automatic centering, quick actions, and other improvements

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.2

Summary

This update adds automatic centering support to announcements, fixes a bug concerning the delete command, and other improvements.

Changes

Automatic centering
The new /togglealignment <broadcast number> command allows you to determine whether announcements should be aligned to the left or automatically aligned to the center of chat!

Along with this great feature, there are 2 additional commands to determine the header and footers alignment: /tha and /tfa. (toggle header alignment, toggle footer alignment.).

Quick actions
New clickable text on the "Added Broadcast" message called quick actions allow you to quickly add modifiers to the announcement that was created. Instead of having to manually run commands after you add the broadcast to set worlds, permissions, or center it, you can just easily click on one of the quick actions.

Deletion bug fix
In certain scenarios deleting announcements via /an delete <num> would cause improper formatting in the config with announcements set to display in all worlds. This no longer occurs when using /an delete.

Small message changes
Some console messages were slightly modified to be more visually appealing and clear on what they meant.

Updating Steps

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-x.x.x-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.
Place the new KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0.2-PREMIUM.jar in your plugins folder.
Restart your server.

1.0.1 | Bug fixes and improvements

Kix's Auto Announcer ++
Update 1.0.1

Summary

This is a relatively small update, however it is strongly recommended you update to this release as it fixes crucial bugs.

Changes

- World visibility bug fix. In certain cases announcements would not display in their assigned worlds while using random broadcasting ordering. Per world announcements utilizing random ordering should work as expected now.

- Small modification to config layout. However, it does not affect already generated configs, rather fresh installations of the plugin.

Updating Steps

Delete KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0-PREMIUM.jar from your plugins folder.
Place the new KixsAutoAnnouncer-1.0.1-PREMIUM.jar in your plugins folder.
Restart your server.
