this is my plugin.yml:

Code:

name: KitBerserker
main: me.rob1998.KitBerserker.KitBerserker
version: 1.1
description: Allow players to access a cool kit and have cool status effects on kills.
authors:
  - rob1998
commands:
  berserker:
    description: Get the kit.
    usage: /berserker
permissions:
  kit.berserker:
    description: Allow player to access kit.
    default: op

 

Are there any tabs in your .yml? Make sure of that first. Also, are you sure that authors are listed with dashes before their names? Try this;

Code:

authors:
  rob1998

 

AS there is only one author do author: name .

 

Maurdekye No tabs, with dashes

still doesn't work

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

The description is invalid.

 

yeah, but what exactly is the problem?

 

I don't know, try removing it and see if it solves the problem?... Can't really see any faults in the file.

 

All of a sudden I'm getting similar problems with my plugin.yml, after adding permissions. I think that might have something to do with it.

rob1998@ You probably have some tabs, use an editor like Notepad++ and instead of pressing tab, use spaces.

 

I really don't have any tabs, tried in several editors

 

rob1998@ If you remove the description, is the problem fixed?

 

No

Wow, read the exception guys. It's not a yaml parse error. it's a zip exception. it can't read from the jar file. I don't believe the issue is with his code.

 

rob1998@ remove the "/" character

 

NO that's not it either

Look at the jar filename. "._KitBerserker.jar" seems unusual no? and clearly the error message has to do with an error, READING THE ZIP FILE. not parsing the yaml. @rob1998 rename your jar to "KitBerserker.jar" and try again.

 

Ah yes the Filename lol

 

The strange thing is that I named my jar to "KitBerserker.jar" and there is no file on my hard drive called "._KitBerserker.jar"...

 

a filename beginning with . is hidden (on os x and linux anyway) it's probably there, you just don't see it. if you're on one of those os's. try `ls -alh` or show all hidden files.

 

I know, but it really isn't there. I even deleted the plugin folder and made a new one, but still not working

Okay, I got it working again. I did a full reinstall and now it works..

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Could you upload the file somewhere for me to take a look inside and make sure you are exporting correctly?

 

okay i'm gonna give chu an example

Code:java

name: EChub
main: me.ShearsPig.Hub.Main
version: 1.0
 
commands:
  Command:
      description: This is the where the command get's stored. when a player does /help this appears!
permissions:
    plugin.*:
        description: All plugins
        children:
            plugin.command: true
            plugin.plugin: false
    plugin.plugin:
        description: This is your plugin permission (IF you do not have , IGNORE)
        default: op

 

I know how to make a plugin.yml file, but that wasn't the problem.
I already set this discussion to Solved...
