Where are you guys from?

Can you give a description on what the plugin does?
I'm from The Netherlands.

[Stino]

Oh Cool,

I am from the Netherlands to!
I don't know exactly how the plugin works but you can look on adcraft.io

Thanks for replying!

[NiLSPACE]

This is just a guess on how it works: AdCraft connects to a server, downloads a list of possible ads and broadcasts them to the players.

If this is the way it works then I'm afraid I have bad new for you. MCServer plugins currently cannot connect to the internet.

They seem to have a proprietary plugin for the server, I don't think they'd be willing to share their API. If anyone was to write such a plugin, it would have to be them.

[Stino]

Hmmmm,

Can't we implement that? How does bukkit connect to the internet? What if we add a piece of code in a
different language that works with MCServer? And would it not be easier when we make a compiler from Java to C++?

Sorry it is a lot of questions at the time

I found this on the internet it is a Java to c++ compiler.

Hope it works

It is possible, but we would have to (re)write our Socket code. We don't want to copy code due to Copyright reasons. Even if we did get it to work then there is still the issue xoft mentioned.

Also, I don't think a Java to C++ compiler would work on something as big as Minecraft

[Stino]

Oke thanks! I am gonna contact them, I hope they make it for MCServer to.

What about a plugin that broadcasts ad.fly links?
