Support can be found on IRC.

 

thanks! im using jestservers which uses TCAdmin which is supposed to pull the latest build whenever you update bukkit. apparently, its only on bukkit 66.

 

Updated to fix the bug discovered by @GameHex, where users.yml would not update automatically on /mail clear.

 

Wow you're quick! haha thanks a million

 

Glad to help.

@Bonemonster Well, so much for the technical support team.

 

Great plugin. Adds some much needed functionality I'd been missing.

One request would be a /listkits or something to show all available kits

 

Brack: /kit without any parameters should do that.

 

Could you add a timer to kits so that people couldn't keep using a kit over and over again? So they'd have to wait a set time? and I'm not sure whether this is a bukkit error or what but I'm not able to use setspawn, when i try it comes up with unrecognized command in console, but then again even help and other commands come up with that same error.

 

Updated and now its workin like a charm. Thanks.

This is a great idea for giving people items once daily, or hourly or whatever.

 

i cannot get item,setspawn, tp, give to work. What have i done wrong?

 

is it just my plugins or is it this? i cant seem to spawn colored wools which would be 35:1-15 any idea on how to fix it?

 

My server is on Linux, with only ssh (console) access. wget && unzip is not that hard and saves unnecessary reboots. Either way, link to the JAR and the zip of the configs if you're worried.

 

Essentials is incompatible with build 120 & 126. Causes my game to crash when trying to connect to the server at downloading terrain(yet is fine when I uninstall Essentials)

 

@Desereck All I know is that with the build that I just downloaded, it works fine. Perhaps it is a configuration issue, or another plugin dislikes Essentials?

 

So back to /mail...is there any way to have chat confirm the mail was sent? Another request, can it tell the user when they get mail in real time, or just when they log on? Thanks The mail part of Essential is pretty useful to me

 

@d3x It's not quite that simple: the config is generated at runtime based on available commands and such. My default config might look different from yours, especially in the case of optional components, such as Permissions. I might make a separate config generator, though.

@Bazzam Good point--I'll have to look into that. Was that possible with hmod?

@GameHex Mail while someone is logged in is kind of silly. Currently, read-receipts would be difficult to implement. However, I could allow admins to read others' mail.

@s0nge My guess is that you have Permissions installed.

 

@Zenexer I am using Permission, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, iChat, LWC and General now (although I highly dislike it as an alternative to Essentials). I am unaware of what would be causing a configuration error. I will try clean-installing essentials, the only thing I edited was the MOTD anways.

 

Haha yeah I thought realtime mail is kinda the same as chat...but yeah the only thing i was after was having it say something like, "Mail sent!" or something like that.

 

Please do not rely on command prefixes, as they will be inoperable in the near future. Bukkit is changing how it processes commands, such that command names will be immutable. Configurations will be unable to change command names.

@Desereck The MOTD would do it.

 

Clean install worked. I'm happy again


Though I remember doing a clean install on 120. Maybe WorldEdit corrupted it because it's supposed to be used for 121 (oops).

@Zenexer The MOTD worked fine until I installed WorldEdit, which was what I thought was the problem until I singled out Essentials as being the problem child of them all. Weird. Oh well. Is there a way to add multiple lines to the MOTD? So for example:

 

@Desereck That's a real doozie. You've got me stumped. Glad you worked it out!

@GameHex Updated per your request.

 

Oh! A suggestion: The /item command without a given amount of that item automatically gives you a stack of 64. I often forget to add an amount if I only want one of the item, and sometimes it's inconvenient to have a whole stack like that. Still, it's a minor thing, so don't worry about it unless it's easy.

Love the plugin!

 

Haha sweet you rock!

 

There was a MOTD function back on Hmod that the MOTD could add multiple lines if you used @, but that breaks the motd/plugin for Essentials. Same with the paragraph icon.

 

@Desereck Yes, it does not yet support multiple lines. Note that you must enclose the MotD in single-quotes if you want to include special characters, including @.

 

@Zenexer I do, and the plugin stops responding until I remove the @ and restart the server. I just broke my minecraft again going over three lines of text/ accidentally doublespacing/adding a -

 

Hmm... that's a bug in the YAML parser, which is out of my control. You could probably try double quotes.

 

Request:
I would like to see a /kick and a /ban command in this plugin that logs to a flatfile. I think that they are "Essentials" for any server. I know you can use /#ban but it would be good to use these commands with the Permissions Plugin.

 

Ok. there is obviously something I did wrong in the configs. I wanted the ability to spawn items, teleport and other mod/admin commands to only be available to mods and admins. For some reason, when I disble them for players, it disables them for everyone.

I also set the restrictions so that only ops can use them. For some reason, it isn't recognizing the ops and is grouping everyone as default players. Does it look at ops.txt and etc for this?

Could you have a looksee through the config files i sent you and show me how to set it?

 

The YAML parser is very very picky on syntax.

Two spaces = error
Two periods = error

Going to try double quotes and see if that fixes it.

@Zenexer Okay it looks like the /plugin reload Essentials is broken. Every time I reload the plugin goes unresponsive, yet upon server restart is completely fine.

 

sorry for the late thanks, i took a break and completed LBP2 on the ps3 with a mate of mine...very very very tired now!

Thank you for adding them in its greatly appreciated, will test them 2morro night (time willing)
