(Just a stupid noob) Help with permissions and how they work, + pluggins and how they work.

First off, most of this knowledge I'm looking for will probably be on this site... I couldn't find much :/

Now, now. Don't go hatin' on me because I know this has been asked/answered probably atleast 7239 times, but why not 7240? So..., just a noob at MineCraft + Bukkit with some probably easy and "OMFG how did I not think of that!!" answers.

1. (MOST IMPORTANT) OK, so SpoutCraft/Spout... I have a server, works... with a plugin folder that also works, but I put spout in there like this: Server-folder/plugins/then they are both in here, no folders. I have yet to test it, but I was thinking I should make a folder called spout, then put both spoutplugin.jar and spoutcraft.exe in there... is this my problem?

2. This is probably the most important, OK so I have notepad++ and can open .YMLs and know what they are. I am also tech savvy and know some java, but darnit I can't find out how to set permissions... (yes, that was a question)

3.
Hmmm. I went into the permissions.yml and put this in:

According to this thread/plugin: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-mech-armor-abilities-1-2-5-r4-0.85015/
armorabilities.* should enable all permission Well, no. It didn't work :/ In the CMD (that's how I run my server) I have this message:

[WARNING] Server permissions file permissions.yml is not valid YAML: ma
pping values are not allowed here
in "<reader>", line 3, column 20:
permissions:
^


Does it like, not like the colon or somethin? O.O

Thank you guys/gals SOOO much!! But a link to a tutorial will be just as fine x)

 

you set your permissions in the bukkit permissions.yml. check the bukkit wiki on how to do it. most people are using a permission plugin, though, like Groupmanager, PEX, Bperms, or permsbukkit. i recommend groupmanager, but you should check them all

 

So, screw the config files and yada yada for the plugins, just use bukkit's permissions.yml!!? God I'm slow x) A java coder cant figure this out, lol. Is that seriously where I set them at for all of my plugins?

Pusu, would you happen to be able to answer my Spout question? x)

The ^ is under the : at the end of permissions, but it's being dumb... just imagine lol.

Can someone help please?

IT is supposed to be like this.
Both Essentials (GM), PermissionsEX and bPermissions had a similar format.
mine for PEX but works fine for essentials.

PHP:

groups:
  default:
    prefix: '[Visitor]'
    default: true
    permissions:
    - multiverse.access.*
    - permissions.build: false
    - bukkit.command.tell
    - bukkit.command.me
    - NoiseNotifications.alert
    - CommandBin.spawn
    - CommandBin.starve.self
  Host:
    options:
      rank: '100'
    prefix: '&6[Staff]&c'
    suffix: '&b[Host]'
    permissions:
    - '*'
    - .give.item.*
    - adminchat.send
    - adminchat.read
    - adminchat.broadcast
    - mwStop.stop
    - mwStop.use
    - CommandBin.hat

 

Dude, this has nothjing to do with my post...

 

What I am saying is that,
doing this.

PHP:

Groups:
      default:
          Permissions:
              Permisison.node.


Is not how a normal permisisons.yml is.
And since you stated in your other thread that you are using Permisisons Bukkit, this format would be correct.
That post I made earlier, you did not specify what permissions plugin you are using.
Second: If you have spout questions you may want to go to their spout threads.
If you want to set or give yourself permissions by Permissions Bukkit.
This is how:

PHP:

users:
  omnitv:
    groups:
    - admin  //notice its groups for permissions bukkit
  jacklin213:
    groups:
    - member

IF you only stated earlier in your thread I might have said a different response.
