"This mod REQUIRES permissions"

Instantly do not want.

 

Can't please everyone.

Here is an explanation: The goal of this plugin is to be as configurable as possible. In order to turn features on and off for different users/groups you need to use Permissions. I chose Permissions because it is the standard. I could add support for vanilla servers but then there would have to be two checks for every server tick for every player. In high traffic servers, the sprint speed can be drastically reduced. If I were to add support for nonPermissions servers, the performance could drop to 50%. I would rather run the risk of not pleasing everybody, than having this plugin perform badly.

 

How about include a permissions .jar and a non-permissions .jar? Just because the large servers usually use permissions doesn't mean the hundreds (maybe thousands) of small servers like mine (which I only host so me, my Wife and my cousin can all play together) are pointless and beneath your attention.

Using the excuse "Can't please everyone" is just that... an excuse. I know it's not that hard to include support for both.

Now, I don't mean to say that you have to slave over your computer to try and please as many as possible - that's where the saying "can't please everyone" came from. Ultimately, what you do is volunteer work, unpaid, and entirely unnecessary, and I deeply appreciate that. Thus, I never demand that a developer change something - only suggest. However, it's disappointing when such a small change would allow so many more to use a plugin, but the developer refuses to make the change for, really, no reason.

 

From a third party perspective you're greatly overblowing the work involved in setting up a permissions file with a default 'all permissions' group or what have you. If you can put the time into setting up CraftBukkit, keeping plugins up to date, and configuring said multitude of plugins, the five minutes it takes to set up Permissions should be trivial no matter how 'small time' or 'personal' your server is.

 

I agree. I only have me and my friend who play on my server and I use Permissions so that we can get use out of the many plugins that need it. It's really not hard at all. I thought it looked hard at first and did not want to try Permissions. But once I got in to it, I realised it was easy.

 

I would have to agree with the above two comments. It takes MUCH less time to install permissions, than for me to maintain the code. Permissions is a really good plugin to have, and my plugin is not the only one out there that requires it.

On a side note, I'm hopefully going to have the initial release of my new plugin this weekend some time. (Replacing my old ones and adding more functionality.)

 

Lol, if you're too lazy to configure Permissions, stick to plugins that don't require it. Don't waste valuable Developer time by asking them to add a feature that no serious admin will need.

 

BTW.. Any NPEs? and did the last build fix the issue with containers?

 

I just noticed that build, will be loaded on next reload, ty

Fix would be nice!

 

I'm making a new plugin to replace my old ones. Should be out this week some time.

 

I'd LOVE to see this get updated Can't wait to see the new stuff.

 

So good !!

 

Is it possible to initiate a sprint with a combination of crouch + forward move? Or is there already some way to sneak normally without taking your boots off? Also, what about the idea of sprinting to the left, right, or backwards?

 

Really love the idea of this plugin. How are things going with the new version? Looking forward to trying it out.

 

Agreed. I've been checking the thread every day to see if you posted anything on progress or some information regarding the release. Thank you for your work on this! Would love to get some sort of hint on how its going!

 

idem.
Please give us good news

 

Just a question :
Does the boots take durability damage while sprinting ?

 

In the most recent version, they did not. However, the plugin is being revamped at the moment. Per previous posts, I believe the new plugin is being done with multiple types of boots configurable within one plugin, as they have a multi-jump boot plugin as well. But, of course, I couldn't say for sure. The jumping boots take all sorts of dmg though, as I found myself taking fall dmg often. lol.

 

Any news Nate?

 

Not working with 1.6.6?

 

Hey, I love the idea of this plugin, its just could you make it so it is a configurable key to push instead of having to be sneak to use it? Because I have the plugin RocketBoots, and all the different kinds of boots have a sneak ability.

 

I think there should all just be one big boots plugin, where each type of boot does something different. :-p

 

Please make for 820 (Bukkit)

 

Looks like a good plugin as well as your jump one.

You said you were working on putting them together over a month ago.
Seems to be no update since.

Any word on that?
If you're not going to then you should let someone else take over (or release the source) since there's no joy in letting good plugins die.

 

So i'm guessing this is pretty much inactive/dead?

 

This is an amazing plugin. I wish I knew enough or id try to keep it going.
