  • Animated sign lines
  • 5000+ placeholders
  • Player specific sign lines (information about a player that only he sees)
  • Incredible performance (only sends the sign animations when in view)
  • No lagg
  • Clickable sign action with commands/chat,... that can also contain placeholders
header_about.png

DynamicSigns is a plugin that allows you to let your players (or yourself) use animated sign lines that are configured in the config.

Every sign line can have its own individual permission or you can give someone permission to create all sign lines you configured.

The sign lines can contain any of my large list of 5000+ placeholders. Every sign containing a sign line is unique to each player, so placeholders that are specific to a user will be different for each player.

Usage
  1. Add MVdWPlaceholderAPI 2 or higher in the server
  2. Configure the sign lines or add extra sign lines in the config
  3. Do not forget to reload with /dsigns reload
  4. Give yourself dsigns.use.* or dsigns.use.yourlinename
  5. Create a new sign on the place you want the line write [dsign:yourline]
  6. Need help? PM me , I'll be glad to help you
The usage for this plugins is designed for server admins that wish to set up some signs for information.


header_configuration.png


A few things you have to know is that apart from the normal configuration. There are also separated config files for some groups of placeholders. (like bungeecord ,...)


CONFIG.YML

Code (Text):

# ------------------------------ #
#
# DynamicSigns 4
# (c) Maxim Van de Wynckel
#
# ------------------------------ #

# Variables: These variables can be used in the TEXT section
# of both the header as the footer.
#
# {PLAYER} - Player name
# {PLAYERNICK} - Player nickname
# {SERVER} - Server name
# {PLAYERCOUNT} - Server player count
# {BUNGEECOUNT} - Bungee network player count
# 5000+ more ... see spigot page

# Formatting: These are formatting tags allowing you to format the animations
# or placeholders.
#
# Substring: This allows you to split a word (even a placeholder) in parts
# example: <substring begin=0 end=3>Hello World</substring> = Hel
# usage: This can be used to split placeholders when creating a typewriter
# or to split the colors in a placeholder.
#
# Scroll: This creates a scrolling animation of the text inside it. It accepts
# two arguments (the length and space between scrolls).
# example: <scroll width=20 spaces=20>&2This is a &atest</scroll>
#
# PLENTY MORE! See spigot page

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
# GENERAL PLUGIN SETTINGS
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

## Config version (DO NOT EDIT)
config: 3

## Language file
lang: 'en'

## Debug mode
debug: false

## Log to file
log:
enabled: true
# Reset log on startup
reset: true

## Update checking
update:
check: true # RECOMMENDED YOU LEAVE THIS TRUE

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
# PLUGIN SPECIFIC SETTINGS
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

# Placeholder settings
placeholder:
# Force install all placeholders (NOT RECOMMENDED)
force-all: false
# logs the memory usage of placeholders on startup
log-memory: false
# Clear unused placeholders that are not enabled.
clear-unused: true
# Config cache only
# This will only use placeholders in the config
# HOWEVER: IT WILL BREAK ALL CUSTOM PLACEHOLDERS!
# IT WILL ALSO PREVENT ANY HOOKS (PlaceholderAPI)
config-cache: false

## IMPORTANT:
## 1) When you have questions/problems send me a PM first
## 2) It is advised to keep your interval above 15 when you have a lot
## of signs. This is also (just like the tweaks) something you have to
## experiment with and see what gives you the best performance.
## 3) The plugin won't cause server lagg. The only lagg that can occur
## is system lagg due to having fast intervals (packets that flood clients)

## -- Following tweaks depend on the usage and performance of the server/clients ---
## If you have a server where you join right next to animated signs (hub,..) it is advised to
## add a bit of a delay before sending the sign updates.
## If you place signs near warps ,.. it is advised to increase the delay of teleporting a bit.
## These values are things you need to experiment with, they are not 'optimal' out of the box
## Test it like default first, then lower/increase it.

header_placeholders.png

Placeholders (or also called variables) are the things you put on your scoreboard and can change dynamically. You have vanilla placeholders that just contain things like the player name, statistics, ... but there are thousands of placeholders you can use from other plugins you may be using. That way you can personalize your scoreboard!

Troubleshooting
(This title does not mean you should start shooting when you have a problem)

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx"
A: This means you have not tweaked the settings in the config. This is a warning send clientside. If you get them while creating or destroying a sign this can happen if the interval is too fast (but you should not worry about it).

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx" when walking around
A: First thing to check is your update distance. Make sure this is not incredibly high. Try lowering this and see if it makes a difference.

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx" when joining
A: Increase the join sending delay, so the player has time to receive chunk packets first. If the error still persists, try checking the update distance.

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx" when teleporting
A: Increase the teleport sending delay, so the player has time to receive chunk packets first. If the error still persists, try checking the update distance.

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx" when respawning
A: Increase the respawn sending delay, so the player has time to receive chunk packets first. If the error still persists, try checking the update distance.

Q: My players receive "Unknown sign at xxxxx" when they break a sign
A: This usually means your refresh rate (interval) is below 10. Also keep in mind that the plugin is meant to 'setup up' signs (read the READ ME above) breaking a sign can sometimes trigger this message. If you really don't want it you can easily solve this by increasing your interval.

Q: Colors do not work on signs
A: This plugin does not handle colors on non-dynamic signs. Meaning all other signs that do not have any animation won't have colors added by this plugin.

Q: My config keeps resetting and creating a backup
A: This most commonly means you have a broken configuration. If it is the default config and you have not even opened it send your startup log to Maximvdw (PM in a (private) pastebin).

Q: The placeholders do not update even despite I set a quick interval
A: Placeholders can be throttled by the plugin in case they take too long to fetch. Like intensive mysql actions,... Try lowering your interval.

Q: I am getting a lot of lagg but my TPS is fine
A: This means your client is receiving too many packets. Most commonly this means that the tweaks are not optimal
- You are receiving too many updates a second (lower the interval of the sign lines)
- You are receiving the updates of too many signs (lower the update distance)

Q: When I join/teleport/respawn I see "[dsign:Xxxx]" on the signs
A: This is the join/teleport/respawn sending delay. The signs are not updated immediately after join. You can try to lower this.

Q: What is the recommended interval?
A: It depends on each server and situation. Interval also means placeholder updates (what can cause MySQL problems if it is not cached) but mainly overflood the client with new sign updates. I would say around 15 ticks is recommended if you have multiple signs. 4ticks if there are just a few signs, but personally I would not go under 4 (100ms).

Q: Sign lines randomly stop updating
A: In 99.99% caused by a plugin that cancels all tasks of all plugins.(Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelAllTasks() ).

Q: A placeholders is not working
A: I have 5000+ placeholders, I can't test them all if another plugin updates. Just message me with a PM and I will fix it for the next version.

Q: I configured a sign line, but when I create a sign it remains [dsign xxxx]
A: Did you reload the config after creating it? If none of the signs show the animation this could be due to "Sign lines randomly stop updating"

Q: I have copy pasted the signs with worldedit and it no work!
A: Signs have to be created manually in order to be created. WorldEdit or any other copy/paste tool is not supported.

Q: My sign line looks weird with cut off colors ,etc...
A: Signs can max be 16 chars long. Make sure to set scrolling animations to 15 using the width parameter.e

Q: On startup it says "Removing sign at ..." in the console
A: DynamicSigns will check the signs on startup to see if they are still there.

Q: This plugin is too cool
A: Sry, you can leave a review to express your feelings <3
