Do I really need ChatManager just so I can get the &b suffix? Anyway I enabled it... what would I need to edit?

Code:

chat-range: 100.0
display-name-format: '%prefix%player%suffix'
global-message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> &e%message
enable: true
message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> %message
ranged-mode: false

1) Citizens: I have a NPC called Amphase placed somewhere in the spawn, problem is every time I log in I spawn exactly in front of him, even if I move him... How can I fix that?
2) Commandbook (Kit): Problem here is that I have 1 Kit from Commandbook that I've put in the Kits.txt file from the Commandbook folder, but if I type ingame /kit I get 2 Kits listed up, Starter and Rock but I've never set them and can't even find them anywhere, why?!
3) Bukkit (?): How can I limit the amount of Mobs you can spawn with the command /spawnmob <mob> <amount> ?
4) Last question, how can I get the names of the Staff Members that are online colored on the list you get pressing tab?

 

I don't have one right now. But ScrollingMenuSigns has the same kind of functionality and that one does have the source on GitHub.

Also thanks M1sT3rM4n and Fyre !

Just to clarify the "lost connection" message. The client sends a signal to the server to check if it's online. That's why the server gives the message "lost connection."

Edit: Arf... His problem is already solved... Your quick today guys!

You guys might not be able to helping me on this, but I might as well try.
I just recently updated to iConomy 6, from iConomy 5. When anyone new joins (NOT people who have joined in the past), I get a mysql error, which is this:

Code:

[iConomy] Error issueing SQL query: java.sql.SQLException: Unknown column 'status' in 'field list' Query: INSERT INTO iConomy(username, balance, status) values (?, ?, ?) Parameters: [playername, 10.0, 0]

Is there anything I can do?

 

hmmm dont quote me on this but it looks like theres a column called status in the MySql DB that iCo 5 used but iCo 6 does not. Maybe if u remove this column it will stop erroring?

that big banner at the top makes me sad

That is what I was thinking. Now, to find a way to delete it...
*goes into mysql*
EDIT: I don't see a status column. Nor do I see a field list!

 

What makes me sadder is that they don't inform us on what is being changed. I just have to grab a development build and just see for myself what's working at what not. The Bukkit team is getting better at communicating, but still has a lot to improve!

Maybe the BCG knows what the biggest, plugin breaking things are?

PS: Why is it R5? And not RB1.2-R1???

O NOES! I just saw it...

 

Thanks. It doesn't get spammed all the time. It just shows up every once in awhile.

 

Yeah, that's fine then.

 

I posted this as a forum link yesterday, but had a feeling you don't answer questions like that so I'm pasting it here:

After the server runs for about half an hour, or up to two hours, my server just dies. The console stops responding. It doesn't freeze, but just doesn't respond to any command I give it. It doesn't unload plugins, so all files revert to the last startup. I don't know what is causing this. I don't think it's a plugin. My server is down until I fix this, which might be a while.

Anybody seen this before, and, if so, what's the problem and how do I fix it? I've ran diagnostics, the problem doesn't seem to be with the system.

Code:

2012-02-19 11:40:56 [SEVERE] null
java.io.IOException: Input/output error
    at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.read(FileInputStream.java:236)
    at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:235)
    at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:254)

    at jline.ConsoleReader.readLine(ConsoleReader.java:494)
    at net.minecraft.server.ThreadCommandReader.run(ThreadCommandReader.java:31)

It happens in both OpenJDK and Java 7. 64 bit Ubuntu.

 

This means that the server is failing to load a file... I'm not sure of the specifics, but it looks like something is corrupted. Ask hammale for more info, sorry I couldn't be much help

 

Any ideas? Sorry, I really want to get this done ASAP.

 

One last thing and I think I'm done setting up my server. When I was first setting it up, I was having some trouble and someone gave me the start.bat file. Here it is: [in notepad++]
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar Bukkit.jar
PAUSE
Now, I have 8gb of ram installed on my computer. Will changing the numbers help boost my server and if so, what should I change the numbers to?

 

You could backup your tables and start from scratch. Then check the differences with your tables and those of the newly created one. The reason you don't see the status column is because it's missing (just as the error says )

Also, did you use this guide? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/iconomy/pages/documentation/installing/upgrading/

 

I did half of that. :/
Ok, ill get back if there are any issues. I'm going to work on it.
EDIT: Wait one second! I re-read it. It is exactly what I did. Turn on conversion, then off.
Mhmm, I'll just back it up, and give everyone's money back. Sounds easier. Or maybe put them back in or something.

 

Please help!

Perfect it worked, thanks
What about the other questions? And btw, take your time..

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

 

Sorry for the wait: remove the &e before %message% in global-message-format. Tell me if that doesn't work.

Also, please list your plugins so I can work out #3! Thanks

Hey,

I used to run my server on my computer, which also had 8G of ram, and I used java -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar Bukkit.jar. This allocates 4 gigabytes of ram. Have fun with you 4gb ram server

Doesn't work
Plugins:

Sorry for the wait: Go into commandbook config.yml and change something like spawn mob-limit to whater you want. Hope this works. I need someone specifically familiar with ChatManager for your first one... M1sT3rM4n?

 

Yeah I thought too it would be in the config.yml but there isn't, here's the file:

If the player has commandbook.spawnmob.many, they can spawn more than ten. If thy just have commandbook.spawnmob, they can only spawn <= 10 mobs

These are the ones I can help you with:
2: Please post your kits.txt
4: Here you go: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/prefixed-playerlist/. It will add the prefixes (and the colors) in your PermissionsEx groups config to the playerlist you show with tab.

acetech09 as ur post kinda got burried did u ever get the solution to ur problem?

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

 

I tagged you on that post, I thought you might know some more stuff than me about bukkit read/write I/O stuff.

 

@acetech09 r u using any server wrappers like Pail or McServerGui?

 

I believe it was a map corruption. New map and the server runs fine.
