Auto Announcing From Website

[Ventricle]

Hello guys , MXC is dead nowadays , so i decided to code this shit. Also I miss L2J

 

Basically it gets the data from the website (Ex : http://l2leaders.comoj.com/announce) and announce it

You make new file  in your host and name it whatever you want and then put (Announcement here| auto announce time)

 

SO if you put (Vote for US|60) it will announce vote for us every 60 seconds

 

To change website

String websiteURL = "the link containing the announce data";

You don't need to restart server each time you change the text it will update automatically

 

Code : http://pastebin.com/FLuaDDpu

 

Not tested but it should work.

Which is the point of making a connection to a website and get the info from there? Instead of doing it via configs? Imo is the worst way.

You wouldn't need to restart the server via config neither if you load the info from the .properties every time.

 

And this...

 

+ @Override
+               public void run()
+               {
+                       Announcements.getInstance().announceToAll(text);
+                       getInstance();
+               }

way more logical to getInstance() before the announcements, to update the info if it's changed. Edited January 4, 2014 by ^Wyatt

If you can edit a .txt/html file and upload it to the server with the phone, you can edit a .properties file and upload it to the server too, don't you? :x Edited January 4, 2014 by ^Wyatt

This.

Also i now saw the code and this one is terribly not efficient. Opening a conneciton on top of a vote reward system can be terrible for te server + that the code itself is bad.

You already use a site to upload the shit so why no adding a php file where you have 2 textboxes and a button. One for the content of the announcement and one for the seconds.

You submit and you save these 2 values in a db table. You simply call the text and seconds from db and you did it properly. 

If you wanna take it a step too far you can also make a delete and add more than one button in the site but i doubt it you have such a skill no offense.
