Maybe I'm a noob, but...

I've got a problem with my server, or rather with chat line. Can I (or someone who uses my server) enter any commands or write words in it?

I've downloaded Permissions and Essentials plugins, but chat still didn't work. What should I do?

 

you are going to have to be a lot more specific:

bukkit/craftbukkit version
essentials version
permissions version
OS

describe 'doesn't work'

you are pressing 't' for chat? right?

 

Emm...Yeah, 't'
Last version plugins, downloaded from here
And craftbukkit, too

 

Oh man, that's entirely the wrong way to ask for help. Fill this out.

 

Oh, thanks. Wait a second..

 

i wonder if there is a way to make a FORM that has to be filled out for support....

 

Would be beautiful. Could probably whip up a google docs thing, but not sure what these forums have to offer.

 

i looked at the New Topic page. It is basically a form already. Most likely, we just have to ask someone with some power to do this.. or grant rights...

 

1. What OS are you using (Brand and version - Ex. Windows XP SP3)?
Windows 7, emm, the latest
2. What architecture is the OS you are running (x64 or x86)?
x64
3. What version and architecture is your java install? (Type: java -version in command prompt.)
Version 6 update 23
4. What build of CraftBukkit are you running? (do NOT say latest. Say the build number.)
o.o.1
5. What command are you using to run your CraftBukkit server?
Emm...
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
6. What plugins are you running?
Essentials, Healthy, CreeperTNTnerf, MyHome, MyWarp, Permissions, ChatRoom
7. What error are you getting (post your server.log file if possible)?
Chat commands didn't work, with a message 'Illegal characters in chat'
8. What have you tried already?
Added Permissions and Essentials plugins, want to reinstall the whole server

 

Agreed. But since they posted the whole "Community Rules" and specifically this:
"8. Do not ask for a position on staff."
I don't ask for anything anymore. They'll contact me if they want help I guess.

No, we actually need the build number you downloaded.
Look at the link below. It will list build numbers. Its up to you to know which build number you downloaded when you downloaded it last. Sadly, there is no other way to know as of yet.

I've downloaded it on 21st, maybe, it's all because of bad version. I'll try to download the #158 build, thanks.

 

Good idea. If you have problems, I've found build 141 is pretty solid, although it has bugs (but then again, all builds have bugs, but none of them are that bad in this build).

 

My problem is still not solved.

Using Craftbukkit ver.261, no plugins

 

do you have any output from the server? (paste it here)
what were you doing when the problem occurred?

 

Entering any text in the CHAT line
That's my server window
