Inactive [ADMN/DEV] PermissionsEx (PEX) v1.19.5 - Tomorrow is Today! [1.4.6-R0.1]

Version: 1.19.5

PLEASE USE BUKKIT-DEV FORUM FOR DISCUSSION/HELP
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/permissionsex/
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

PermissionsEx (PEX) is a new permissions plugin, based on Permissions ideas and supports all of its features. But PEX is more! It offers different backends, powerful ingame management, fine grained restrictions for world modification.



Current features

1. Bukkit Permissions (SuperPerms) compatible.
2. Several backend support. Currently bundled backends is File (YAML) and SQL (MySQL, SQLite). Also it's possible to add your own.
3. YAML backend, with new, fully rethinked, config schema. Now all user, groups and their permissions are stored in one file - permission.yml. BTW file name is adjustable too.
4. SQL backend, most delicious. Currently MySQL and SQLite supported, but other DB (like Postgre) are possible too. PEX deploys the DB scheme (tables and initial data) automatically. This means, that you only need to provide data on how to connect to the db, everything else PEX will handle by itself.
5. Flexible architecture and API - you can change a lot programmatically.
6. Compatibility layer with TheYeti's Permissions (2.7.4) (as a separate part of the plugin). In most cases plugins, which use Permissions, will alsowork with PEX also.
7. Rich chat/console command interface. You can do almost everything ingame. Command list below.
8. Modifyworld - Embedded restrictions mechanism (we call it "modifyworld"), which provides the possibility to control players abilities, such as destroying/placing blocks, riding carts/boats or even getting spotted by mobs and much more. Disabled by default.
9. Multigroup inheritance. User, as well as Group, can be member of several groups. And inherit their permissions, options and prefix/suffix.
10. Permissions based upon Regular Expressions. This mean you can use regular expressions. Example: modifyworld.blocks.(destroy|place).(3|12) - this permission allow place or destroy only sand (12) or dirt (3) blocks. There is still limitation on dot usage in your regexps - dots are escaped by default.
11. Multiworld permissions. Just don't specify world and permission would work in any world.
12. Multiworld inheritance. You can inherit different groups in different worlds.
13. Easy migration from Permissions 2.x. Converter for both YAML and SQL are embedded into PermissionsCompat. Just use simple instruction.
14. Perfomance friendly. Low-level caching helps alot when you have 100+ online users
15. Promotional/Demotional system. You can assign ranks to groups and promote/demote users to higher/lower ranked group.
16. World-inheritance - permissions/option of one world can be inherited by another world.
17. Timed Permissions - you can give user permission only for some amount of time.
18. Chat Manager - small chat plugin, bundled with PEX. With prefixes/suffiex and colors. Check wiki for more details.

Remove the .jar not the folder.

 

Does this work on a 1.7.2 server? I'm having problems, and i guess thats probably why... :/

 

Hello! Please take a look at this, I think you may be interested in it as maybe a side project..? http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/request-roles-revival-for-permissionsex-pex.33640/

 

is it true that there is no API for permissionsEX except the superperms one?
cause I wanna make a plugin that hooks in to permissionsEx and changes the group of users through the plugin, possible?

that is the plugin I wanna make, but that is not possible without an API

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

 

i removed the permissions jar, kept permissions folder and world.yml, ran the commands through console and nothing has changed, am i doing something wrong here?

this is what the console is telling me

HTML:

 Server: /pex backend p2compat
PermissionsEx: Initializing file backend
CONSOLE: Permission backend changed!
Server: /pex dump file permissions.yml
PermissionsEx: Initializing file backend
PermissionsEx: Data dumped in "permissions.yml"
Server: /pex backend file
PermissionsEx: Initializing file backend
CONSOLE: Permission backend changed!

but it doesnt migrate it, just adds the current online players into default group.. can anyone else migrate my yml?

 

Im not asking for a new one to be made, im asking for it to be continued and permissionsex compatible

source code is in the link

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

 

How do I use iChat with this?

 

Error: http://pastebin.com/kMA9fhrS

Description: Trying to use /pex backend p2compat to convert permissions 3.1.6 to PermissionsEx. Many suggestions, they dont work.

<World>.yml - http://pastebin.com/YNAg9x1N

permissions.yml - http://pastebin.com/YNAg9x1N (EXACT SAME AS WORLD.YML)

You just need to download the ichat for permissions 2. Its on the same page as iChat p3.

Ah nevermind looked at the PEX Wiki and found it.

Though I would like to know about inheritance.
I'm switching from Permissions 2.7.4 (tried to use the PEX commands to do it for me and just got a lot of errors so I'm just going to do it manually) and there was an inheritance option in the YML which looked like this:

Code:

groups:
    Guest:
        default: true
        inheritance: null
        permissions:
        - permnode.chat
    Builders:
        default: false
        inheritance:
        - Guest

I was wonder if it was still used? If not whats the alternative if any?
The inheritance option really helped out with all the nodes instead of writing the same ones for every group.

Edit:
I guess inheritance works! When I did the exact same format from P2 to PEX it worked just fine. Might wanna put that somewhere so people know.

 

Doing:
pex group Admins create

Gives me:

After converting my permissions from Permissions 3.x (which I reduced to 2.x format first and then converted, it's working fine), do I still require the Permissions.jar to run on our server? I am just trying to cut down on plugins.

 

The syntax is wrong. To create a new group just do this:
pex group Admins
It'll make a new group called Admins.

 

What errors? I may have the same issue

 

This is everything that I do and what it says:

Line 278 does not say USERS, it has a permission node. Line 1 is: users:


Edit: Yes i did.

@25CentStudios

I looked at your Error report in your previous post.
The spacing for "users" is wrong, make sure there is no space before users in both of your YMLs.

 

How do I make several default groups for different worlds?
I have 3 worlds people join the first world and get the default rank(Newb) but when they goto world 2 they are still default rank newb jhow do i fix this?

Does the console fly like 50mph?

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

 

No, but it did before. You have an invalid permissions.yml

There is no space.

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

 

Well its saying there's a problem with that line, have you used an online YML parser?

 

It is possible to make it so that the rank guest can talk and when someone join it automatically writes them into permission.yml. Whats the best prefixer. I used to use ichat with perm 3x

 

Did the online parser return any errors?

 

Nope

 

Then its the plugin, have you tried redownloading the .jar and trying again?

Hmm, well I'm at loss as to what the problem is. You might have to manually convert everything like I have to.

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

 

Yes I have, multiple times


EDIT: This error only occurs when I am trying to migrate from Permissions 2 to PermsEx using the /pex backend p2compat command


EDIT 2: If I type and get that error mentioned above, all pex commands cease to work.


@STiChad

 

you can use ichat with this just use the one ofr permissions 2.x

 

what about users not getting automatically getting wrote in permissions.yml?

 

Copier.

 

How do I set a default rank per world? My users join on world one and are the default rank for world1 on worlds 2 and 3

lol sorry?

idk i havnt gotten that far yet lol

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

 

What would that entail? I have 14 worlds..

@STiChad

I was joking

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

 

get your first world done probably your spawn world thats what i did once you get that its easy for the rest
