EssentialsX
Show join and quit messages when a player vanishes
Feature request
Feature description:
Two config options called something like message-on-vanish and message-on-unvanish which are broadcasted when vanish is turned on and off respectively
How the feature is useful:
This can be used to make fake join and quit messages. A similar feature was requested earlier (https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/2713) but was closed because there wasn't a reliable way to get join messages. This should fix that issue by allowing the server owners to input the format themselves.
I don't know why this should be a config option, especially Strings. It should be a simple boolean to fake a join/quit message based on what's already in the config. Otherwise good idea.
#3881 does this work until now? Cause I open the jar files and add some this Adds the config option below:
When a player enters/exits vanish, should a fake login/logout message be sent?
send-vanish-broadcast: false The message is taken from messages.properties which defaults to the same as vanilla:
unvanishBroadcast=\u00a7e{0} joined the game vanishBroadcast=\u00a7e{0} left the game
Reopening as this is still a valid feature request, even if the scope and implementation of #3881 wasn't suitable in the end.
I believe this feature should be at the very least partially implemented as a toggleable option. Since EssentialsX, by default, can handle join/leave messages, it should also be capable of handling join/leave messages for vanishing. The discord addon for this plugin also sends fake join/leave messages, so I see no reason why there should be no support for such within the game chat itself.
I'd propose that the config for vanishing join/leave is separated into 2 groups of 2 sub-configs. The first of each of these would be something along the lines of "vanish-join", where the possible states would be "default", where simply the message set in the already existing "custom-join-message" config would be used; a "custom" option where the admin could use formatted text, potentially formatted as if it were a /tellraw to everyone based on a new "vanish-join-message" config, effectively eliminating most issues when it comes to formatting; and an "off" option, where no message is sent at all, for servers which have alternative vanishing solutions/plugins which directly affect all of chat. Of course, the same 2 configs should be present for quitting. Separating these as such would also definitely prove useful, as some servers like to send join messages yet not any quit messages.
