All Problems In One

I have a couple of problems on my server I need solved ASAP. Please reply if you have a solution.

1. I need to color my factions in chat. I used to be able to do it in Factions but not anymore. I use PEX and EssentialsChat but never touched EssentialsChat.

Seems like I have another problem. Please read the OP.

Problems everywhere. Got another one, read OP please.

I really need this fixed today. Can anyone guide me on this?

 

bumping is allowed only every 24 hours.

 

Added a complete list of my problems. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I realized the MobArena tp delay isn't possible in any configs unless I'm wrong.

A few more problems. I appreciate any and all help.

Freddie1282 - Ugh, the level of entitlement. I'm just enabling you.

First. Use VanishNoPacket, or don't. If you can't figure out permissions, its probably because you're being dumb and using the PEX '*' node, which is dumb and causes you all sorts of issues.

Second. You're using a version of combatlog that isn't up to date (has it been updated?). Use something else. You can search bukkitdev.

Third. Factions changed a bunch of stuff around. I'm not going to take you by the hand through all the documentation. Read, experiment, read some more.

Fourth. Block op/deop from in-game using worldguard. If you're using op to lazily give your admins permissions, I can't help you. Don't op anyone who isn't a server operator, meaning basically don't op anyone but you.

Fifth. Why are you giving people worldedit? Anyway, don't give them worldedit or get something that limits worldedit. For example, PlotMe does this quite well.

Sixth. Dynmap - read. There's plenty of documentation there. People worked long and hard to put that together and put it up there.

I hope you understand.

Lrn2edit and stop posting absolutely random things.

1. Portforward to 8123 and go here http://yourserverip:8123/

 

I know how to use that but I wanna add it to my website.

 

Freddie1282 Then use iframe and read documentation.

 

I only posted that problem here because I don't know how to use iFrame. Sorry for being unclear. I'll go see if I can do it though.

EDIT: All of a sudden I can't log into DynMap from the default website. Let me see if I have something disabled in my config.

EDIT: I updated CombatLog but the error still occurs.

 

Freddie1282
Is port 8123 still forwarded?

 

I have no idea. All I did was add it to all the configs that needed it. How do I portfoward it if my server's hosted?

 

Freddie1282
*facepalm* sorry I forgot you used a hoster. That case I don't know

 

This is urgent. Everytime I kick/tempban someone, it resets their player data! Help?

Hello. One more question. Does anyone know what will happen if I change from Craftbukkit to Spigot. Will I need to re-install all my plugins and get a new world?

I deleted DynMap. No help needed on that now.

Bumping this.

 

If you don't understand CraftBukkit, definitely don't upgrade.

 

Another problem came up. :/

Fixed some of my own problems. Still got some though.

Freddie1282 What are the issues you're still having?

 

I'm having more than I listed so here are some. Please respond if you have a solution

1. Votifier isn't working, do you have any good listeners that are up to date?
2. How do I enable faction chat colors in EssentialsChat?
3. For PEX, commands like these
pex.manage.<user>
do I need to add every individual user or is there another way?
4. Good vanish plugin
5. A way to add a delay to commands

If some answers are easy, sorry but I can't seem to find an answer.

 

1. I don't use Votifier, sorry. :C
2. Faction chat colors? I haven't used it since 1.4.7. :\
3. Couldn't you just do 'pex.manage.*'?
4. VanishNoPacket
5. BoosCooldowns

 

VanishNoPacket. No, Freddie add me on skype an I'll send you a vanish plugin that I custom coded
It completely vanishes you. PM me for skype username

 

I just have 2 problems left. Check the OP if you'd like to help.

 

xTNBx__DNinja Put it on DBO, or don't offer it.
Freddie1282 I don't trust him. He should put it on DBO if he wants to share it.

 

I just scanned the file with my antivirus. Seems safe.

 

Freddie1282 Antivirus doesn't do anything to plugins. VanishNoPacket is made by one of the admins of Bukkit.

 

VanishNoPacket doesn't let me remove silentjoin/quit or else I would get it.

 

Freddie1282 Then don't use the wildcard permission? (*)

 

That's gonna take me a long time to redo though.

 

It's something that shouldn't have been done in the first place...

 

Why is that?

 

It's bad practice and breaks plugins. Let's say I make a plugin with a permission that disables the chat. I specify in my plugin that by default nobody should receive this permission unless it is explicitly given (makes sense, since you probably don't want ever user's chat disabled). When you go and use the * node with PEX, it completely ignores what the plugin specifies and gives every single permission (regardless of whether the developer wants you to have it or not). This is incredibly stupid and causes many issues for developers who receive invalid bug reports, blaming the plugin for something their permissions plugin has broken.

If you want to give people all permissions, op them - this will respect the defaults given by plugin developers.

 

It has a habit of breaking lots of plugins permissions.
DON'T USE PEX!

 

My explanation was better :-P
