When I try to use the custom afk message with /afk MESSAGE it says ERROR: Player not found.
When players do it it just sets them afk with the normal message.

Negate essentials.afk.others or add more than just MESSAGE

Hi, thanks for the response. However, I just tried that and neither worked.

Could you run /ess debug then paste the console output when a player runs /afk test test?

Could you post the corresponding output in game? There's nothing in the debug log that indicates that this isn't working correctly.

its just doing the standard Afk message "cas is now AFK

My server is play.wintercrestc.com if you want to see it for yourself

Relevant wiki page

However, this can be changed in the locale file (messages_en.proeprties, or whichever locale file you are using) by modifying userIsAwayWithMessage and using the {1} argument, the message.

userIsAwayWithMessage=\u00a77* {1} \u00a77is now AFK.

Edited it with that but still not working

Properties filles. Where all the message's are. (most part of it anyways)

You can get it from here > https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/tree/2.x/Essentials/src

Please show us you'r file.

And try to do /afk This is an test.

If you want to set an other player afk with message its the same but then an name before "This"

Yeah i did that and edited both the en and normal one and it still isnt working

https://pastebin.com/Ga5RAJgk

userIsAwayWithMessage=\u00a77* {0} \u00a77is now AFK.

It was at 0 previously, but i thought md said to put it as 1

Try
userIsAwayWithMessage=\u00a77* {0} \u00a77is now AFK. Reason: {1}

DId not work either.

Does the player have the permssion > essentials.afk.message

And did you try to use: /afk This is an test.
and do you have: userIsAwayWithMessage=\u00a77* {0} \u00a77is now AFK. Reason: {1}

Yes, I am also OP.

Yes i am literally writing, /afk this is a test
and yes i have that in both the EN and normal msg properties

"both the EN and normal msg properties"?

I copy pasted the config into every language file just in case it was using a different one.

You only need 1 language file...

Please say witch one you use

and send us you'r config,

Okay, I deleted every language file except EN and this is it

Does other changed message's works?

Does other message works that you have changed.

If you change an other message, Does that changed message appear?

Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. What other changed messages?

I haven't changed any other messages, what would you like me to change?

Yes. Change an other one and check if the changed one appear.

Okay, i changed
heal=\u00a76You have been healed.
to
heal=\u00a76You This is a test heal

and it didnt change, it just said " you have been healed"

kay, Give us you'r config.

(I edited "you have been healed" back, by the way)

Give us you config.yml

Well, you didnt specify what config, theres no need to be rude ^.^
https://pastebin.com/EDsBA15P

anyway
Try to change "#locale: en "to "locale: en" and rename you'r properties file to "messages_en.properties"

Okay, did that and it still isnt working.
Here is the updated config: https://pastebin.com/PZs9fNe6

Here is a screengrab of the file showing message properties

Please show us the current messages_en.properties

https://pastebin.com/a4eGG9Kf

Then its maybe because of "Paper"

It works fine for me, (spigot)

@Dutchuser Please keep it civil. The issue is not related to Paper.

@Castiella I can't tell what stage you're at in terms of getting this sorted, but here's a rough concise guide to using locale files:

1. Download the appropriate messages_ZZ.properties file from here (where ZZ is the language you intend to use), and place it in plugin/Essentials/.
2. Remove the # before the locale option in config.yml, and if necessary change en to the language that matches your downloaded file.
3. With a text editor, find the line that starts with userIsAwayWithMessage and add something like - "{1}" to the end of that line.
4. Restart your server and try /afk test test again.

That worked, thank you so much!

Good to hear - let us know if you need any more assistance.
