Awesome!!

I hope I don't sound too dumb when I ask this question, but do you need to be running the Steambot when you install and load this plugin? And how will this work, the bot will create an announcement based off of the cfg file in the ZIP file?

Re: [ANY] Steambot - Announcements & Events [1.0.1]
 

Yes you need to run Arkarr's Steambot for it to work.

Also, edit the announcement phrases in the translation folder.

Can we have a better error message?
"Error sending steamgroup announcement, please contact an administrator." doesn't state the cause of the error.

Re: [ANY] Steambot - Announcements & Events [1.0.1]
 

The configuration file under the 'configs' folder is so you can allow your admins or server moderators to choose which announcements they can send to the Steamgroup. This allows you to setup predesignated messages that your admins or server operators have to use so they can't cause problems or anything.

Yes, you do need the Arkarr Steambot running.

When I use sm_announce, it tells me that it was successful. However, the group did not an announcement and checking my bot, it was spamming this(even after restarting it):

I did not modify the translation files.
