An OLD tutorial from Moparscape b4 Silab remove c+p tuts.
Forgot who made this but 100% Creds to him!

.:Step 1:.
Underneath:

Code:

public class client extends Player implements Runnable {

Add these two voids:

Code:

public void writeAnnouncement(String announce) {
    try {
        File file = new File("./Announcements.txt");
        file.delete();
        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("./Announcements.txt", true));
        bw.write(announce);
        bw.newLine();
        bw.flush();
        bw.close();
    } catch(Exception e) {
        sendMessage("Failed to write announcement!");
    }
}
public void LoadAnnouncements() {
    try {
        BufferedReader announce = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("./Announcements.txt"));
        String announcement = announce.readLine();
          announce.close();
            sendFrame126("@[email protected]"+announcement, 6570);
           sendFrame126("", 6572);
            sendFrame126("", 6664);
        setInterfaceWalkable(6673);
    } catch(Exception e) {
}
}

.:Step 2:.
Next search for this or something similar to it with all your other Ints and booleans (should be a big list)

Code:

       public int playerLastLogin

Then underneath add this:

Code:

        public String announcement;
        public boolean AnnouncementUpdate = false;

.:Step 3:.
Now add this with your other commands:

Code:

        if (command.startsWith("announce") && playerName.equalsIgnoreCase("NAME OF OWNER")) {
        try {
            String announcement = command.substring(9);
                writeAnnouncement(announcement);
boolean Announcementupdate = true;
        } catch(Exception e) {
            sendMessage("Failed to write announcement!");
    }
}
if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("delann") && playerName.equalsIgnoreCase("NAME OF OWNER")) {
    try {
           File file = new File("./Announcements.txt");
            file.delete();
    } catch(Exception e) {
    }
}

.:Step 4:.
Then add search for your update command:

Code:

if (command.startsWith("update")

Then add this with it:

Code:

PlayerHandler.updateAnnounced = false;

.:Step 5:.
Now look for:

Code:

public boolean process() {

And add this underneat the {:

Code:

                if(AnnouncementUpdate = true){
                LoadAnnouncements();
                }

Save & Compile!
