    Putting things such as chests on the unprotectable list practically doesn't really work either though. People just place the chests between forcefields and create a vault that's surrounded by protected areas. It took the players on my server about 1 and 1/2 day to find many workarounds around the 'unprotectable' feature and it recently surfaced that many people were simple able to place fields on unprotectable blocks somehow (I don't know the details) that we just decided to drop it from that list altogether. An additional uninteded feature of the unprotectable list is that forcefield blocks can then be used as chest-detectors in order to find hidden chests. In short, it just didn't work out for us.

    The plugin is still great though and don't take this as if I am blaming you for this phaed, it's just the nature of Minecraft that makes it near impossible to put together a system where people can put chests in their protected areas without them being able to secure it completely. It's a tough balance to achieve (between raiding and protection) and we simply haven't figured out a way to improve it. I still hope you put the water/torches/wire issues on the to-do list though!

    I also hope that, it's still easy to destroy an house with water now.

    Remove furnace from the unprotectable block list.

    Oh I see, interesting.

  6. Any way to avoid being spammed with coords on every right click?
    Wasn't a problem back when it only happened with tools but now it's so much i have to look at dynmap to see chat
    Sorry if it's been answered already but 24 pages is just more than i want to look through for one answer.

    whenever I try to put in a ps command is says this
    "/ps help - Displays Precious Stones commands"
    when I type /ps help it says the same thing, nothing happens
    every ps command I type does this nothing happens and it says that

    Any luck on adding user customizable sizes to a block for a "home protection" block?

    With BigBrother not being updated I'm stuck on #556 until I get some sort of sane protection for my users and losing out on new players with "outdated server" messages. This feature would mean I wouldn't need any other greifer protection at all and I can update. :)

    Just copy the city protect give it a new name and change sizes.
    this is what I did
    Code:
    -
          title: "Home Defence"
          block: 82
          radius: 3
          custom-height: 15
          prevent-fire: true
          prevent-place: true
          prevent-destroy: true
          prevent-explosions: true
          prevent-unprotectable: false
          guard-dog: true
          nameable: true
          welcome-message: true
          farewell-message: true

    I second this. (Actually third, because somebody a page back asked this as well.)
    Other than that, I really enjoy this plugin, thanks a bunch for making it happen, phaed.

    My feature request some time ago is quite different than your suggestion. As there are no one size fits all homes, my request was to add a block which the size could be modified in game by each player. For example I could make a gold block for "home protection" with an admin set max and default radius/height and each player could then modify those sizes with a command to fit their individual needs. Phaed said he really liked the idea. I was just wondering if he planned on implementing it any time soon. :p

    Fixed the error, re-download. Is the action not showing for anything, or just some type?

    /ps cloak
    doesn't work for me :( but this would be VERY helpful when it does
    i have chests as a protectable block. Would this do anything?

    What is the difference between
    preciousstones.benefit.* #can create precious stones (members)
    preciousstones.special.* #can create precious stones (veterans)
    Thanks for your work and support I think it's one the best in the Bukkit community

    doesn't show for any action or give timestamp. I'm downloading the fix for the other and i will check that again as well.


    edit: must have been something in my config cause now it seems to be working properly again. Thanks for the awesome plugin support. I have to say your one of the best when it comes to staying on top of updates :D
     
  19. same problem here... keeps saying "You are not pointing at a cloakable block"
    I double checked, chests are in the set to cloakable.
    I tried it with /ps on and /ps off (also when placing the chests), same result

    Thanks :). I updated the OP that was left over from copy/paste. It means they can use cloak for now, more stuff later on.

    Oops, had an old version of the config file in the zip. Re-download and try again pls.


    You have "force-field-blocks:" in the wrong place.

    I allow default users permissions but it actually doesnt allow them to do it. They cant us /ps or /ps help.

    What do you mean by default users permissions. Do they have "preciousstones.benefit.ps"? Maybe your problem is not the permissions but that PS is not loading on server startup, what does your server log say?

    Change log
    Version 3.1
    • Added block cloaking!!!. comes with two menu items /ps cloak /ps decloak, a permission: preciousstones.special.cloak. and three config file sections (cloakable-blocks, cloak-blocks, reveal-radius)
    • Added tool-items list in the config file. These are the tools that one needs to be holding to see the right click details of fields
    • Multi-page menu, with configurable page size: lines-per-page
    • Added /ps help for those who cant see /ps

    A default user can create a forcefield but cannot put a chest in there. Any reason for this?
     
  27. Offline

    phaed

    You assign who can place what by using permissions, so a default user can do whatever you set him to do. He probably cant put chests in there because you have chest in the un-protectable list.

    I'm not sure if it is your pluign. I only use world guard for protection other than this. When anyone besides admins try to build it spams them with "You cannot build in this area" or something like that. But they can still build.

    "Something like that" doesn't help. You should probably do some testing before posting.
