mail.jar is in /lib. everything else works. Sending is fine.

 

Hey, I am not sure if you're aware of this, but anyway, Wikipedia has a nice list of all mail to SMS gateways here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
Nice plugin, but unfortunately I am unable to use it since my provider doesn't support mail to sms

 

I have about 5 lists bookmarked, most of which have providers that aren't on any other list. I just don't have time to go hunting around for all of them.

 

its for texts

 

you must set up an email address to send and receive texts

 

when me and my members tries to send me a message it say sending message.. and then message failed
plz can someone help me plz... :,)

ok i think i know the problem now... can u plz add telia. tele2. 3. in sweden... plz

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

 

Hey there Codisimus,
Tried to play around with your plugin, but every time I do I get bogged down with a bunch of [SEVERE]'s.
The first line of which says:
"[SEVERE] java.io.FileNotFoundException: lib\Register.jar (The system cannot find the path specified)"

Am I missing something blatantly obvious or is this an actual issue?

if you'd like the rest of the errors that accompany it I'd be more than happy to share them.

 

how do i do that

 

Just so you are aware this plugin appears to have compatibility issues with the "MyWarp" and "MyHome" plugins. I've tested this by removing TextPlayer and running server, and receiving no errors, but when TextPlayer is active, I get a "there was an error while executing command" error in game using /home and /warp. I've replaced these plugins because TextPlayer is just so awesome, but I thought you should be aware

 

Please add!!!

 

I looked into this a little bit. I looked on my computer for a folder called "lib" and the only one I found was in the java install folder (in Program Files). Is there supposed to be a file there called Register.jar that I'm missing or is it something the plugin itself is supposed to come with/install?

 

Plz add kpn support

 

look for /lib in the server folder. (like where /plugins is there should also be /lib). if there isn't then this plugin won't work so you need to create it

 

The only folders in my server are backup, plugins, world, and world_nether. You're saying make the /lib path and it should create the rest of the files it needs?

edit: running it after making the /lib path did something, it made a mail and Register jar, but now it's giving different errors after a couple server reloads.

Code:

do I have to make a gmail account and fill in the information in the email config file?

 

Events wise, can it send you one when the server goes down? If not, can you add that?

 

@ACStache
yes you do have to make an account, and in future version I will have it automatically create the /lib folder

@Jallenator
If the server goes down there is no way for this plugin to run... so I don't see how that would be possible sorry

 

cool, thanks for the help. will let you know how it goes

 

@Codisimus
you could run the script in the onDisable() bit couldn't you? (sorry if that is just completely stupid)

 

got everything squared away, awesome plugin with alot of room for expansion!

new issue cropped up:
sent a message back to the server and got:
[INFO] Could not read incoming mail!
[SEVERE] java.lang.NullPointerException
[SEVERE] at TextPlayer.Mailer$2.run(Mailer.java:128)

are the only commands currently available the ones listed in the first post? I tried changing the time to see what would happen and got that error.

 

that could work but if the server is shutdown due to a loss of power or anything besides /stop you would not be notified. (also the server being reloaded would trigger this too)

 

@Codisimus
Then you could add a message with something like: "This is an alert that one of the following things could have happened: 1.) server reload 2.) server has been stopped... etc"

The reason I would like this is to tell me when the server randomly shuts down due to a plugin error or something

Edit: also, could you not add some kind of listener in the onDisable() that would test to see if a reload had just been done and if so it would not send a message?

 

If that happens, I'm not sure that it would activate onDisable()

I'll have to check to see if there is a way to check the reason onDisable() was activated

I would proly add an option for when the server starts too. (perhaps its a server hosted from home so you want to know as soon as you can play on it)

 

@Codisimus
It is a dedicated box, the plugin errors and stuff I was thinking of would be coming from another plugins like Citizens or Factions and stuff. If you did this, it would be really great and I would be incredibly grateful

 

Wth, why you dont see my messages?

Can you add this carriers?:

Telenet; Telenet.be
Mobistar; Mobistar.be

 

yes, why you also don't see/ignore my messages?

Can you please add?:
Sunrise Switzerland; sunrise.ch
Swisscom Switzerland; swisscom.ch
Orange Switzerland; orange.ch

 

can you add support for CommandBook? or is it just all commands supported
ohh and i get this error.. i made an email adress but when i try to send it fails and thorws this
