My team and I can make this for you. Just to confirm how this works, it shows a different help message based on what permission you have? What happens if a person has the permission for two different help messages?

 

Could hook into Vault and use permission groups instead then I didn't think about how the '*' would affect that in permissions

 

Just a thought maybe we could see which is the higher permission and show that help message instead?

But how would we determine which is "higher" permission?

We could also just determine by going through the list and then the last help page list it finds would be the one used. It would just mean you'd have to be careful to list the pages for higher-ranking pages further through the list, so you'd want the help page lists ordered like this:
- n00b help
- mod help
- admin help

Or however your ranks work.

EDIT: Just saying, that would probably be a good bit easier. Also @EndureBlackout is one of my team members just so ya know.

 

Anything that works is fine with me as long as I can assign different help page lists to different groups in some sort of way

 

I just made a plugin like this - check it out here: https://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/customhelppages

Instead of having to set each page, with my plugin you can create a giant list and adjust how many lines you want per page.

 

Doesn't do what I need. I need a plugin like that but with the addition of permissions or groups for different help lists

 

This shouldn't take long to complete, either @EndureBlackout or I will keep you updated on the status.

 

So instead of one main list, you want several configurable lists that you can assign to a group?

 

Yes

 

Annnd finished. Here is the plugin. Let us know if anything needs to be changed.

Permissions:

• vHelp.help - allows player to use /help /? commands
• vHelp.<helplistname> - allows access to help for that specified name
• vHelp.admin - allow /vhelp reload

Commands:

• /help - help command
• /? - help command
• /vHelp - main command
• /vHelp reload - reload the config

Actually just want to amend one thing to that: the permission for different help sections is not the name of the section but the permission you specify for the section with permission: "yourPermission"

Also this is for Java 8.

 

I know this was already filled, but I updated my plugin as I thought this was a good idea. You can check out if it fits your needs now.
