    PistonAlert
    Version: v3.1

    PistonAlert is a simple and lightweight plugin which is still very handy. The only thing this plugin basically does is message a player when he places a piston. Everyone knows pistons still are a bit buggy like crashing the server when using too much of them. But reminding a player will help controlling his behaviour.
    Also the plug-in will send every admin online a message by using the BukkitPermissions plugin and writing the amounts in to a file, this can be received by commands.

    Installing is very easy, just add the PistonAlert.jar to the server plugin folder, and reload the server.
    A file folder, to store config.yml and Data.yml will be created automatically!
    You will need BukkitPermissions though.

    @CainFoool Thanks! Its my first :3
    I know, i still decided to release it. Maybe someone just needs it..
    Im adding a database right now wich is registering how much pistons are placed by 'player'.
    After that ill add a limiter and stuff. Also @Redyugi

    Also, pistons are not 100% glitch free.
    When using to much in multiplayer, with pressure plates i expierienced some crashes..

    I thought this was for people using the piston dupe, but I reread your OP, and you said 'warn the player' so... I understand now. =P

    @Redyugi Ah oke :3

    Added permissions support in version 2.1
    Please add -'PistonAlert.info' as permission node.

    Please ignore the database created, not finished yet!

    Nice plugin,
    some idea's:
    maybe you can make a config where with you can add blocks to the warner,
    or something like that.
    if you fix the colors that would be awesome,
    good plugin for a beginner.

    Does it say if the piston is sticky or normal?

    MuisYa

    @Garloth
    Nope, it will only give a message ''Has placed a piston'' not if it is a sticky one or not,
    If you like i could add it though?

    EDIT: The newest version (v2.2) supports differing pistons!
    Hope you like it.

    Gimme ideas, and please post if you like it guys!
    And i need someone to help me with printing out in a other format.
    If you have alot of experience with it, please leave a reaction!

    When i am back from vacation i will upload the new version 2.5
    - Added a database for storing amounts of a player. eg "muisya: 15"
    - Added a function when you break a piston, the database will do youre current amount -1
    - And i hope to fix commands, but im not sure yet.

    Also OP fallback would be nice. Can someone help me with that :D
    Thanks!

    Hello Guys, i got this problem that all the players get spammed, cant you do like its only Op's
     
  15. Offline

    MuisYa

    @Tobytheminer At the moment the warnings are for players with the permission 'PistonAlert.info'
    If you give every player this permission, all players will get spammed. If you set the permissions for only admins, only youre admins will get a message.
    At the to-do list is a OP fallback incase youre server ain't using permissions. For permissions click this.

    Hope i helped you. Feel free to ask more questions.

    I don't believe pistons are buggy... BUT!! Sticky Pistons had a way of Bypassing Ownblocks if you placed a block, you had the ability to steal that block!! I haven't tried this out, but this would be great if it said something about sticky pistons or blocked them or something. But I believe they already may have plugins similar to that. Would be nice if it warned about other things, such as bucket of water. Either way, great idea :)

    @Lunthus
    Pistons are not very glitchy anymore, but still when using to much at the same time they will crash the server.
    I will look into that, but there are already enough plugins which do that i think...
    If you want me to add a config option to block sticky pistons, just tell me ill add it :3

    Hey just a suggestion, you should make it to where I can customize the warning message. Ex: Pistons are illegal and you will be banned! Or something.

    Also it would be great if you added permissionsEx support, I hate running a bunch of different permissions plugins.

    @Jackoo Eehm, this plugin is inactive and im not supporting it anymore...
    Are you still using it?

    Jackoo

    Yeah I am. Pistons are illegal on my server because players are making console spam machines. And this is the only way I could find to possibly control pistons.

    And unless i'm mistaken, inactive plugins should have [Inactive] in the title?

    MuisYa

    @Jackoo Hmm, well the plugin is still working thats why i didn't put [Inactive] in the header yet.
    THe permissions support can't be done. Bukkit made its own permissions and everyone needs to use that, so im not gonna add support for something else...
    The custom message can be done, ill try to download the plugin and decompile it xD
    And than add it...
