Inactive [GEN] Essentials v2.1 [?]

The new essentials thread is here:

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/740.15312/

Support can be found on IRC.

 

So, i have enabled Essentials without problems. However, how do i easily do it so that normal users, that connects can use commands like /spawn and /warp "location" and so on? Without having to make them op?

 

Next version will have this removed, you can then reload the plugins manually or whenever. Plugins that use permissions need to be reloaded to pick up the group changes.

 

@ementalo Any chance of getting /respond (/r) to instantly /msg back the person that just /msg'd you?

Example:
/msg mhalkyer hi!
/r hi back!

Very good, thank you for your answer.

 

You would give them permissions in your permissions file:

Yep it's possible, after we have dealt with any #210 side effects, I will add it to our list

 

I know. But, i can't really figure it out. So, could you - be an angel and give me a file i can copy and paste, which i just replace the admin name with mine, and that easily let me make it so guests who can connect can use certain commands.

 

@imoro it is the umlaut which is breaking the parser, I will see if I can sort this for next version

 

Because i really don't have a clue at all how to do it

 

anyone can upload lastest well working CB version with this essentials?

 

I get the exact same behaviour from #202 #210 and #218
(Essentials 133, Permission 2.0)

 

I have essentials installed and it says i loads but i cant get /help or anyother command to work. Any suggestions?

Code:

# A color code between 0-9 or a-f. Set to 'none' to disable.
ops-name-color: 'c'

# The character(s) to prefix all nicknames, so that you know they are not true usernames.
nickname-prefix: '~'

# The delay, in seconds, required between /home, /tp, /warp, etc.
teleport-cooldown: 60

# The delay, in seconds, required between /heal attempts
heal-cooldown: 60

# The number of items given if the quantity parameter is left out in /item or /give.
default-stack-size: 64

# Whether or not to reclaim memory on player logout
reclaim-onlogout: true

I would be soo gratefull. If ya could give me the "permissions" settings, so i could copy those. And use them, since i cant figure out at all how to do it..

 

Craftbukkit Breaks some of this, Or this conflicts with another plugin, "Spawncontrol" was working fine with "Essentials" until the /time fix, It does not error it just wont handle /spawn.

Even tho I have /spawn disabled in essentials "Spawncontrol" should take over it has in the past, /spawn now just shows a chat messege saying /spawn when used and does nothing.

I mentioned this to the Spawncontrol Creator and he said that his spawn is working fine on bukkit 218 with General plugin so it must be this one.

Edit
I will report back with any more information I come across with regarding this issue!

Edit2
CONFIRMED - Removed essentials from startup no more issue.

 

craftbukkit was updated and something was changed with commands handling, thats why most plugins which are working with commands are messed up now.

 

I though we just fixed the last lot of command handle issues that bukkit changed . What was changed this time as all my plugins work bar /spawn when this ones installed.

 

@Quakecy Don't have it on the machine where I am at.
@ledhead900 Yes the new bukkit updates make plugins with the same commands unable to co-exist easily at the moment. spawncontrol also needs to change their command handling to onCommand instead of onPlayerCommand
@Dodecha http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19244232/Essentials.jar

 

How do you change what is displayed when you type "/help", because it shows commands from other mods. And there are like over 17 pages which is ridiculous because not everyone can use these commands.

 

Hmm but I though disabling them would mean that the command DOES not exisit, seems all essentials does then is stop players interacting with it instead of not starting it.

 

yes, we need to look into this some more, before you could cancel the event and let other plugins deal with it, now this functionality does not exist, you just return true or false on whether the command should process or not. Once bukkit does the alias stuff this should be eaiser.

 

hmmm I don't see why instead of having a disabled command list why not just have a ENABLED command list.

and any command not in that list does not even get started or prased in game at all infact any command HOOk associated to using the command is just ingnored if the command is not enabled on this list.

You might need to make a seconday plugin to go with essentials having a plugin contain the commands and a Essentials being the CORE plugin.

What I mean to say is you might need an API for hosting the commands that can be called from by essentials plugin this way it can CALL a command AS its needed and not load them all on startup. Avoiding the whole issue and many future issues.

You can then Alias the commands as you see fit within Essentials for reasons as you only have to reffer to the Hook in your API to start the command, So you could have each command alias adjustable in the config.

Maybe even completely change how the config reads the commands by haveing a new section called Alias's and you simply would then just type a command in like this.

- spawn,alias 1 ,alias2,ect

Then have it ignore the orginal command spawn if you have assigned an alias.

I'm not sure how you would do any of this I'm just throwing ideas around out loud.

 

Hate to sound like a complete moron here, but what are the new EssentialsSpeedy and EssentialsPromote folders in the SVN?

 

You have to specify all commands in the plugin.yml file now or they will be ignored and that plugin.yml has to belong to the plugin requesting those commands. A manual step would be that you could unzip the jar edit the plugin.yml to remove the commands you don't need and then zip it back up. There also is no hooks anymore for command it just happens, the API way may be the way to go though however we will have to see what the bukkit team have instore first.

 

hrmm.. im not sure that making plugin authors not use same name commands is smart. once again, breaks a TON of functionality, makes you guys have to read 97923472 useless posts about the same thing, and rewrite code..

 

Craftbukkit build 230 and essentials build 133, typing '/version' or '/plugin list' give this error "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 75" http://pastebin.com/hVTRVEZV

That easy eh, So I can remove any command I want simply by opening the jar with winzip/7zip and exracting the plugin.ymal and edit this remove the commands not needed then package it back into the .jar.

Hmm I smell a fix comming on if this true a manual fix.

EDIT:

Uploaded SMALL UN OFFICIAL FIX for those running the "SpawnControlPlugin" to get /spawn to work again.​

Change log​

Essentials ver 133.1​

Removed- /setspawn​

If the YAML parser appears to be breaking when it encounters special characters, save the file as UTF-8. The YAML specification explicitly forbids special characters in documents saved as ANSI, for some strange reason.

Version 134 has been released.

@ledhead900 You cannot disable the commands in the config file? Add spawn and setspawn to the disabled-commands list.

@Mike24 Try updating Essentials. Your version of Essentials does not match your version of Craftbukkit. Time methods were recently changes in release 210 of Craftbukkit.

 

Zenexer is it possible to set up per user warp's that only admins can issue to them?

 

Is there a way to /mail to (all) as in a global message?
would be nice for updates and such they might miss on forums.
