    Hello,

    I have a question which is better? Bpermissions or PermissionsEX ?
     
  2. In my opinion PermissionsEX is better. I find it much simpler and as much as I know of, it works with almost all plugins.

    A big plus is the MySql support that Pex has. If you need any help hooking it up i can help you!

    bPermissions in my opinion, but i suppose there are two sides.
    bpermissions is good if its your first time, as it offers a GUI as well, so it makes permissions management a breeze. However, as you get more confident with managing it yourself, you may decide to move to PermsX or stay with bPermissions. It's entirely your choice, but for a beginner, go bPermissions.

    I use PEX because of the granularity modifyworld gives it, but I'd recommend giving each a try and just seeing which you like best.

    After testing both of them for quite a while I think bPermissions is better because it supports multiple worlds easy, mirrors worlds, has a stable code and is updated regularly. The only reason I don't use PermissionsBukkit or BukkitPermissions is because it has no built-in prefix and suffix system. For me it is so much work to switch from BP to PermBukkit.

    I find permissionsEX just simpler to use. bPermissions confuses me lol.

    Looking through the config page helps you know that?

    I like and use PEX, as the config file and it's structure is similar to the older permission plugins with all the options and inheritance at the top and permissions below it. PEX also has a simple chat manager, and the ever customizable modifyworld, which is extremely useful for managing what exactly players can do.
    codename_B's bpermissions is still good though and seems to be better maintained than PEX with more documentation on bukkitdev.

    yeah, the gui makes it work great. I say use it to get a basic template going, then switch to manual editing
     
  17. We didnt have that kind of luxurious privilages when i started with permissions :p

    I like and use bPermissions. I have a How To Setup a CraftBukkit Server thread that shows you how to initially setup bPermissions and then make the changes necessary when adding mods that support permissions.

    Yeah, I think you're the only guy that understood how hard it was for some newcomers, and made a gui for Permissions.

    I hate to say this codename_B, but i'm afraid that i'll have to go with PermissionsEx.
    PermissionsEx has a lot of features that I like that bPermissions doesn't have, such as /promote, etc.
    But I haven't tried bPermissions before, but i'm so used to using PermissionsEx that I don't think i'll ever switch.
    I've heard many things about how bPermissions is easier to use due to it's GUI, but PermissionsEx allows the server admin to do more things without a GUI.

    bPermissions has /promote - where did you hear it didn't have it? :/ If you could list things that bPermissions ACTUALLY doesn't have that PermissionsEx DOES have I'd find that very helpful.

    Couldn't find anything. I probably was misinformed by someone. I apologize for that.
    I'm just used to using PermissionsEx... I don't have any actual reason for not using bPermissions.
    I would say that both plugins are equal.

    That made me laugh, but I have used PEX for a very long time now and I'm just switching to bPermissions now because I would really go through all of this trouble to make Vanish No Packet not log me in vanished all the time,
    All I need is somthing to point me in the right direction
    The server I do plugins for is a server called DoiCraft it is in still in dev but VERY close to being fully released,
    this server has MANY worlds and bPermissions creates a folder for every world and I'm looking at these files and just going:
    "Ummm
    Oh wait!
    Nooo umm
    Uhhh
    PermissionsEX again?"
    Can someone link me to the right direction?
    Much appreciated

    Edit: Please send me your help in a PM so I am alerted when you offer help, Cheers.

    PEX all the way. Its a HUGE improvement from something like... dare I speak of it... PermissionsBukkit.
    bPermissions, from looking at the config, isn't what I'm looking for so, PEX suits me VERY WELL.

    Pex is great and has almost similar formatting between bPerms.
    PermsBukkit is hard to follow (personally) and formatting it is irritating.

    PB is insanley hard to configure properly, and its a mess really. the extra : true/false part really annoys ya..

    bPermissions isn't the exact same, therefore not what I'm looking for at all.
