Inactive [ADMN/DEV] Pail v0.7.5 - The simplest and most extensible Bukkit GUI [1.0.1]

Pail​

The interface for and by the people​

​

What is it?​

Pail is a Java swing Graphical User Interface designed specifically for bukkit.​

​

Why is it different?​

• Pail is written as a plugin, meaning the same, simple drag-and-drop install server owners have come to know.
• Pail uses pure Java and no external libraries, eliminating the need for any dependencies.
• Pail is designed for bukkit servers, allowing more control than any vanilla server GUI.
• Pail is extensible! Other plugins can hook into Pail to add their own interfaces, creating a single place for server admins to manage their server and players.
• Pail is completely cross-platform.

What can other plugins do?
Pail opens up many opportunities for plugin developers to take advantage of. Plugins can be written solely to add functionality to Pail, or Pail support can be integrated easily into existing plugins. Just imagine being able to edit your permissions groups, view server performance, or manage your world's economy all from a single interface!

===============================​

​

For Developers:​

You can start developing for Pail now! The API currently consists of several methods for adding your components to the interface. To add a tab for your plugin to the Pail GUI, pass the title of your plugin's tab and the JPanel containing your interface to:​

Code:

PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
((Pail)pm.getPlugin("Pail")).loadInterfaceComponent("Title", new JPanel());

For more method descriptions, the JavaDoc is available here.

Installation:
Just drop Pail.jar into your plugins folder. That's it!

Features:

• Convenient access to player related functions
• Interface for editing server settings
• Command buffer to recall recent console commands by pressing up and down
• Waypoint system for teleporting players
• Searchable console (with regular expression support)
• Much more!

Commands:

• Pail - Reopens the Pail GUI through the console

Yeah,
I just thought about it, that it would be very much work.
But I would be very happy, if you or feilmaster, or maybe together, could start this as seperate project. Definately, I won't be the only person, who would really like to have spout support.

Just think about it
Homegamer

 

I've actually been thinking of that... But I haven't studied Spout very well. I'll look into it at a later date. See how crazily complicated it is.

 

is there any way to let this plugin start at first?

 

What do you mean?

 

Nice idear, but in my case it doesn't work very well...
If i start a server with it in the plugin folder, i-cannot join on it. The screen says loggin in and nothing happens. White list or something is disabled. If i delete Pail.jar it works normally. But your plugin is so nice^^ could anyone help me?

By the way: here's a screenshot:

 

so that pail loads first ..... so that pail loads before every other plugin.

 

it does? pretty sure..

This... is caused from what. @escape i can't think... how do you try to direct to the file? -looks-

 

The file is supposed to be called just waypoints.dat

 

yes, but it's stored in plugins/pail yes?

 

@joshuader6
you can rename it: just an "aaa" before and it starts at first

@feildmaster
i don't know what you mean with: "this... is caused from what?"

 

@Merkel : I was thinking to myself and escape. Will look into it.

 

Ohh my, makes me wish I could write a plugin for this... SuperPerms gui? Hell yeah.

Mcmyadmin and permissions never agree.

Keep it up, you rock

 

Thanks. What kinda plugin would you write, if you could?

 

Seeing how simple it is to set SuperPerms in game, I'd do a GUI for those. No drop-down lists, just a circle check (if you know what I mean). Check check check enter permissions or group into box, done.

I could go further if you need an idea

I figure going off whats usable in game and allowing the click of a button to do those commands via simple GuI would make things quicker.

 

@Wiernusz : You might want to look at...

Advanced Pail

 

... Whoa. I'm behind on times here.

I run alot of spout plugins. Has this been tested with Spout?

 

@feildmaster
mmmh maybe i should add this adavancedPail.jar?

Edit: I#ve done it: no effect^^ i disable the 2

 

What kind of complex would Pail have with Spout? (Pail doesn't toss the gui over the game)

 

Is there any way to get the values in the waypoints editor? I thought of using this as a warp location manager instead.

BTW. Great Plugin! Love how it could be used instead of other GUIs, its even extendable to boot. ^_^

 

Not currently, IF it was implemented, how would you like it to be?

you're error is caused from the type of system you're running... and the path we're try to use.
I'll look for a solution, but i've been very busy as of late.

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

 

If i could help you something just tell me^^ thank you for your effort

 

Wow, first time I read that...

If it would be implemented, I thinks just make it simple... like
getWaypoint(String name) { return coordinates }

with coordinates having this:
coordinates.getWorld() - get the world it is in

P.S. What updates do you plan to do? Are you planning something big because it's 0.5.1 just yet?

 

Just an update: I've been busy lately but I should have a basic waypoints API done tomorrow. I'm also working on a system for user-switchable skins for the UI. How much work I'll get done the next few days depends on how long I lose power after the hurricane. =P

 

@Merkel
You're not using RB1060 are you.

 

I'm going to add this to my CraftBukkit Automatic Installer (Second most viewed thread on the help forums ) If that's okay with you.

 

Yey! Will there be also a way to register waypoints?

I hope the hurricane doesn't hit your side of the electricity block.

 

I've also fixed merkel's problem... (probably)

 

so i should download a newer version or just try it again?

 

What version of CraftBukkit are you using?

 

the 1060 1.7.3
