since last nights update i can't seem to get the plugin working ..is there any known problems since last nights update 

It's a universal plugin, so it isn't really affected by game updates. What exactly is the issue you are having?

just not working full stop plus had the plugin for a couple of years now ..also noticed that a few other plugins are not showing colors in text and just showing hex codes i ...

derException

(16:21:07) | Could not initialize plugin 'AdvertMessages v3.0.2' (FormatException: Additional unparsable characters are at the end of the string.)   iv tried the [#red] thing plus [/#] instead of the <end> and hex code lol or am i just being dumb ..also since last night most of my chat is showing the hex code rather then color .....I'm being dumb ain't i lol 

[#red]

[#ffffff]text[/#] is valid for universal plugins.
<color=#ffffff>text</color> can be used for Rust as an alternative.

wulf i know its probably nothing to do with the plugin as other things are also bit messed up but any help would be nice ..iv not altered nothing in the advert message plugin tho but iv also noticed other plugins not showing colours in chat just hex code 

Merged post

you ok with me posting my config of it that iv had for ages 

You can post the config, but please use code blocks or a pastebin link.

{ "Messages": [ "Vote for the server at https://rust-servers.net/server/147150/vote/ and do /claim for your daily reward", "<#7bea5d>for discord link", "There is no more skip night. the server is now set to 60 mins day 5 mins night.", "<#d60270>Server Plugins Kits .Bgrade .Tp .Sign Artist .Quick Smelt .BackPacks .Instant Craft .", "" ], "Settings": { "Adverts Interval (In Minutes)": 1.0, "Broadcast To Console": true }}

<color=#7bea5d>text</color> is valid, [#7bea5d]text[/#] is also valid.

<cyan>text</end> is generally invalid in any other plugin (it's custom handling in old versions of some plugins), and not recommended; same goes for the hex variant you have above <#7bea5d>text</end>.

so its lynchy being a right plum and needs to re do the config file .....lynchy is idle :) 2 servers 50 odd plugins and a gf ...just ignore the gf part lol she can wait till i fix the plugins pmsl ..thanks for the help wulf
