[EDIT/FUN/MISC] AdvancedShears v 1.3 - Cut through more blocks and mobs [953-1060]

AdvancedShears
Version: 1.3
Official Website (updated first) : AdvancedShears

This plugin gives the shears more functions. Its now possible to cut more leather of cows, more bacon of pigs and eggs of chickens. You can also get everytime flints using shears, get the shrubs and grass and added the ability to place them.
Since 1.2 you can also cut glass, bookshelves, ladders, tnt, jack'o'lanterns and sticky pistons and get the used items back. You can also cut saplings down to get seeds and sticks and cut just the upper layer of slabs down to replace them on an other place.
There is also a support for different ways for permissions. In all plugins of mine using devbukkit 770+ will have a property called permissions with four different options :

1. CONFIG - Only use the plugin's configuration-file
2. BUKKIT - Use bukkit's build-in permission-system
3. PLUGIN - Use the permissions plugin
4. OP - Only operators can use the plugin

To change the range and the possibilty for everyone to use it (ignoring the Permissions) edit the '/plugins/AdvancedShears/config.yml'. Original file:

Code:

all_on_mobs: true

Oh. Any word when your update is up?

 

I can upload it, but there are no changes but this and the tnt thing.

 

Just found this out by my players, I guess the shears don't take durability with this on?

 

There was an infinity-bug, but this is fixed. I don't know whether I fixed it already or just in the dev-build.

 

I'm using 1.2 so maybe just the dev-build?

 

Ok, I'm checking the whether I got all new things in it and upload it. There will be no video, because of the less changes.
Just have a look in a few hours.

Requested tiny update is out.

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

 

Perhaps you should provide a static name for the most recent jar? I can see people downloading it automatically and not changing the file name thus having multiple versions of your plug-in running at once

 

Should not be my problem when administrator can't keep up their server properly, but I understand your problem. I'm thinking of putting this in my download-script.

 

Groups that dont have any permissions to use the plugin can still use it? How to fix this?

 

Use v 1.3 or change the configuration (the nodes are self-explainatory). In 1.3 this is fixed. Didn't you read the latest changelog or the post above ? Otherwise do this next time.

 

I use v 1.3, and to what I have my configuration?
It now is the default config.yml
I already tried to give the Builder group the permission "- - advancedshears.*"

 

Set all_*** to false and check whether you have set the permission-node right. I don't know whether the space between the second hyphen and "advancedshears.*" makes any different without. I would remove permissions with "- -advancedshears.*".

 

How to disable it that people can enable TNT with their hands?

 

remove the node "advancedshears.tnt_nerverexplode". There is a doubled mistake by me. You can only activate tnt when you have this node and there is a spelling mistake I just saw

 

Ummm... It's me again.
These nodes are set:

Code:

    - advancedshears.blocks.bookshelf
    - advancedshears.blocks.bushes
    - advancedshears.blocks.glass
    - advancedshears.blocks.jack_o_lattern
    - advancedshears.blocks.ladder
    - advancedshears.blocks.sapling
    - advancedshears.blocks.slabs
    - advancedshears.blocks.sticky_piston
    - advancedshears.blocks.tnt

This is the config:

Code:

infinity_sheep: false
all_on_mobs: false
leaves_radius: 1
all_on_blocks: true
mob_drop_chance: 50

Glass, bookshelf, tnt, etc, don't drop the shears drop. It just behaves normally. Even I with * permissions still does nothing special? I'm on AS 1.3 in CB 1034. No errors in the logs from what I can tell.

Edit: Just did a double take at the logs and saw this:

Code:

02:45:52 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] Enabled.
02:45:52 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] You are running version 1.3.
02:45:52 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] Only OPs got permissions to use this plugin.

I have Permissions? Why is it doing OPs only????

 

It should generate a configuration-option called 'permissions' set it in your case to 'PLUGIN'.

 

In the config file? I had to stop and start the server in order for the new config to show as reloading the plugins didn't.

Code:

10:23:19 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] Enabled.
10:23:19 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] You are running version 1.3.
10:23:19 [INFO] [AdvancedShears] Only OPs got permissions to use this plugin.

New config:

Code:

infinity_sheep: true
all_on_mobs: true
leaves_radius: 3
all_on_blocks: true
mob_drop_chance: 50

 

Just add the node 'permissions: PLUGIN'

 

Only OPs can use it but in the config it says PLUGIN
I have Groupmanager for permissions

 

sry but currently the (old Phoenix) Permissions since 2.8. I thought when I'm talking about the permissions-plugin it's obvious that I'm talking about the "Permissions"-plugin. But I can add Groupmanager in my permission-system.

 

Cool Plugin!!!

 

Hey add it so you can cut metal fences faster, like metal cutters.

 

I got a lot of new things in the dev-version. Please be kind and wait a bit longer 1.9 is pre-included
