recently I was playing a multiplayergame that showed the server rules as text lines.
Since there are lots of servers out there with different rule sets like "Mobgrinders are not allowed", I thought it would be nice to have an easy possibility to spread them.
I imagine it like this : Maybe a txt document or a text.properties ( I don't know enough about it so I can't decide), where you can set the text itself, how long it should be shown and how often.
[time shown] : For example text1 is shown for 5 seconds, before the next message shows.
[waiting time] : time until next message is shown, optional
[variable] could be :
-rotation : Text shows infinitely often in rotation with other text lines set to rotate.
-number : How often it shows up before not being shown again.

[text1] [time shown][waiting time] [variable]

[text3] [time shown][waiting time] [variable]

How would you like this addition to SMP ?
[EDIT] if i didn't make myself clear enough it is a good idea. (i couldn't even get what i meant out of that sentence :smile.gif: )
