hey the Text to cofigure it is empty is that the way it should be ? in the Odd folder under plugin also can yyou make some examples of how to set it up ingame for touches to last 30 minutes ?
also how can I just make them disapear instead of transforming into redstone torches ? since there is no config text

thanks in advance

 

Read the first post. There's a configuration sample. Set relightable to false if you want them to just disappear.

 

Hello, I am interested in ths mod to had this mod to my server, but before I wondered if it worked with bukkit 740?
Thanks

 

It should, but I haven't done much testing.

 

Is it possible to add a config-feature, that deletes all torches when loading the plugin? (after server restart)
I want to build a dark-world with your plugin and the torches get permanent after restart.

 

Love bumps<3

 

The best way to handle this would be to create a table based on players with torch locations. Then when a player leaves or enters the server recheck his/her torches and if they are out of the time limit remove them. This would catch all of the torches that keep turning permanent.

 

That wouldn't be the best way. Expect an update sometime this week. I'll be home and back to a friendly environment conducive to programming

 

Excelent news. Can't wait to prevent eternal torchs from server restarts .

 

cb 684 - inactive
(and is the version range really needed?)

 

I could just say 553+, but then people would complain that I don't have the latest version number in the title, so I'd have to add that, then somebody would complain about having a range in the title, so I could remove the old version number, but then somebody would complain that I don't list it working on old versions despite it working, ad infinitum

 

Why would anyone run old bukkit and search for new plugins? The whole point of current bukkit is to run latest recommended.
And if you have an old server it's somewhat crazy to add new plugins because the only good reason to run old one is stability.

Anyway the range is just a side thing, the main problem here is this plugin is not 766 (not even 733 - the first 1.5 recommended build)

 

Give me a forum mod that I can stick a list of used functions into so it will auto-update my thread title with the latest build number as long as those signatures aren't modified

 

How do you exactly relight a torch? I have coal in hand but when I try to light it up, it just breaks down the redstone torch.

 

Right-click to use an item, just like anything else. Why people think they have to punch a button and try to break it to use it, I'll never know...

I'm still working (very slowly) on updating this, but I've got summer classes next week that I'm spending time preparing for.

 

I tried both ways, seems like if I'm not connected to the server when the torch goes off I can't relight it? Or possibly if I didn't place it? Not quite sure. But there were cases when I could relight torches easily with right clicking so I'm confused...

Anyway, just a suggestion. Would it be possible to implement a % chance for the torch to go out when the duration is up? This is a great mod, but its almost impossible to maintain your torches when you start to have a much larger cave / house. etc.

 

Yes, it's one of many things the next version will have.

 

This breaks in #860 (or so it seems); I am not getting errors, but torches simply are not burning out. I think it's about time for an update, no?

 

Sorry, I've been busy at school and Minecraft isn't a priority right now. It'll get done eventually... I just can't say when eventually is

 

It happens. We patiently await your "eventually!"
