Drop the plugin in your plugins folder and restart the server.

You can now edit the config file and the tips.txt file in the plugins configuration folder. No need to restart your server afterwards, just run the the /tipreload command to reload the config and tips!

Each tip should have it's own line like follows:

This is a Tip.
This is a Tip with §f§lCoLoR and BOLD Formatting.§r

The config file looks as follows, and is easy to understand

// Configuration for EzTips Plugin
// Interval in minutes for displaying tips
Interval: 20

// Prefix displayed in tip messages
Prefix: 'RANDOM TIP:'

// Color of Prefix
// Possible values: BLACK, DARK_BLUE, DARK_GREEN, DARK_AQUA, DARK_RED, DARK_PURPLE, GOLD, GRAY, DARK_GRAY,
# BLUE, GREEN, AQUA, RED, LIGHT_PURPLE, YELLOW, WHITE
Color: RED

There is one Permission for all of the commands.

/tipadmin list

(lists all the tips on file)

/tipadmin edit <#> <New Text>

(edits the tip # to the new text)

/tipadmin add <New Tip Text>

(adds a new tip with the text)

/tipadmin del <#>

(deletes the tip numbered #)

This means the tips.txt did not generate properly.

To fix this just go into your plugins/EzTips folder and create a tips.txt
