So set file permissions so that the Minecraft server can read but not write the file. Problem solved.

(Yes, it is silly that this has to be done.)

 

smart!

 

Would have been nice if the OP had included the permission node in the first post..

Thank you Fluff.

@Harushimo, you're hardly an idiot for not putting the node in when it's undocumented :s

 

I've added it to the installation section.

 

can you add the ability to remove text??

 

Done. v3.2

 

I'd like to second the request to not delete the text file when you remove an object linked to a text file. This makes moving a sign from one position to another a real pain (plus, having to make backups of every text file in case you might later move the sign...) It would be very nice if it would simply disassociate without removing the file from the disk. Otherwise, I love the text file feature, since I can very quickly edit the text, fix spelling issues and the like.

 

*facepalm*
i'm dumb.

 

Yes, THAT !

 

do you have a link or so where we could find the different collors because it is alot of work to find them mannualy.

 

See attachment.

 

OMG some griefer just went through my server and broke every sign with SRM text files attached!!

@Milton
Please make it so that breaking a sign does not delete the text file!! why would that even seem like a good idea?

Love the plugin, hate the griefers.

 

Protect you signs with LWC!!!

 

Thats the thing. they are protected. When an unauthorized user breaks the sign, the sign disappears temporarilily and then comes back. On the client end of the person who broke the sign, the sign looks blank, once they re-log the text returns. The text never goes away for other users that look at the sign.

BUT when the sign gets broken, it seems to trigger SRM to delete the text file associated with that sign, even though the sign hasn't actually been broken. Or rather, it was broken, and the event canceled, and sign reinstated.

anyway, i've changed the write permissions on the text files now, but it's a problem that needs to be addressed to stop griefers from deleting your text files.

I hope this works with cb 733

 

yes it work

 

Thanks for the word

 

Works great with CB733. The option to output text in game from a .txt file is freaking brilliant.

 

Milton, in case you didn't notice, this plugin has been shuffled off to the inactive list. Do you plan on continuing to maintain this plugin?

I've already forked and added the fix to not delete files if the sign is broken. I've also started the beginnings of a developer API so other developers can integrate the use of SignReadMore text into their plugins. If you do plan on continuing, I'd like to talk to you at some point to see if these changes can be pulled into your plugin.

 

Things have been a bit crazy on my side.

And yes, I did notice it was moved to inactive. I'll be updating the plugin very soon.

 

Yes brilliant ! I love this one Milton

This sh*t need to be fix (conflict with CommandSigns)

I can't see anything wrong on my side. I suspect CommandSigns is trying to do something funky.

 

Indeed. Means someone needs the latest version of CommandSigns.

 

Updated my server to 740, updated srm and permissions and it broke. Tested it on my test server with only those two addons and when I write /srm I get an error. I am able to read signs though. And I was in the middle of making a tutorial zone based on your plugin. :/
Here's the log:

It looks like you're missing a permissions node... "signreadmore.srm"

PS: SRM is now on v3.3

 

Download link is still 3.2 and I both have the node, as well as - '*'

Updated to 3.3 Still getting

I found the bug, but that just means you're not using the command correctly.
e.g Usage: /srm line1 A string representing the line number
See Usage section for details

 

>.< my bad. First time I used it correctly but I got the error due to the permissions node, then I thought that writing /srm would just give the correct usage, checking if the plugin was working. Sorry to waste your time.

 

No worries. I'll fix the code so it can give a proper error message e.g Usage
