Inactive [GEN] Essentials v2.1 [?]

The new essentials thread is here:

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/740.15312/

Support can be found on IRC.

 

Using the motd settings provided with the default config file, all players are greeted with the same name. The name appears to be the first person to login after the plugin is enabled for the first time. cbukkit 114.

 

Quick update: fixed the /help bug. Will answer all above questions as soon as I get back in 15 minutes, but sorry, I have to run!

 

when you type /afk, it would set your status to AFK when searched up in /whois. Generals /whois shows the players name, location, health, and status. If your not afk, it just says Around. if you typed /afk, it changed it to Away.

I thought it was pretty sweet!

I feel like such a jerk, because I use a TON of that developers plugins. For some reason though, General just wouldn't work for me =/

+ This.
Same thing here

Ok, I figured it out. It's World Edit
I removed World Edits and World Guards folders and jar files. Then I added WorldEdit first because it's needed for WorldGuard. Typed /version, and crash.

LAME.

Thanks for all your support and work again bud. We appreciate it!

 

I've just found out, as I believe you've already mentioned, the config file is terribly sensitive to indentation. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out what was causing Essentials to spit up errors. I eventually found that one section of my kits was missing a space. For the sake of helping others troubleshoot the problem, I've put the section that helped me in bold. It can be seen after the spoiler.

I appreciate beautifully indented code as much as the next man, but it seems a bit.. strict.

 

ok, so what? you removed worldedit and worldguard, and the player name function for Essentials started acting properly?

 

Update: Hopefully fixed the MotD backward-incompatibility once and for all with this release. If not, it has to do with Bukkit, and is beyond my control. Also added /msg support.

@highwisdom I believe that is what he is saying. However, I have both, and /version and /plugin list work fine for me. It's gotta be some really weird bug.

@techkyle That is the new configuration format adopted by Bukkit: it's called YAML. I despise how it requires spaces instead of tabs.

@Nate204 I use a ton of his plugins, too, but for some reason, General just hates me.

@obliviron Try renaming your config and working with the default. That way, we'll know if it's a bug or a configuration issue.

@highwisdom I believe the MotD issue is a bug in Bukkit: it sends Essentials the wrong player!

 

Thank you Zenexer for the /msg support

 

Will test out update 44 once i have less users logged in. feel bad rebooting on them constantly haha

btw, this is sort of unimportant, but in your OP's sampel config file:

"# Restricted commands will only be available to ops.restrict-tp: true"

should be:

"# Restricted commands will only be available to ops.
restrict-tp: true"

amirite?

Edit: Feature Request: option to disable the /help command so it doesn't funnel through Essentials. I'd like to use MCDocs to make my own help.txt file and have the command read it. As is, the Essential help file is full of commands that most users can't access.

 

Oh yeah! *why was I bug testing these plugins again?....*

When I type /plugin list nothing happens.
At least it doesn't crash my client anymore.

Oh, and all /plugin commands arn't working. I'll check my setting quick. I'm in OP and Permission Admin. They should go~

And my normal players can do tp and other command. What i must change?

 

@highwisdom Nice catch! For /help, simply add "disable-help: true".

@Nate204 If you are an op, it won't even attempt to check the permissions: it will let you do whatever you want. What happens when you try to use it?

@WMP I've been having issues with Permissions. I'll look into that for you and get back to you on that.

Update: Added /afk and expanded /whois. Should I make /who an alias for /whois, rather than /list?

 

When I type /plugin list
2011-01-22 14:31:40 [INFO] nate204 issued server command: plugin list
2011-01-22 14:31:40 [INFO] Unknown console command. Type "help" for help.

TY for the AFK!! =D
--- merged: Jan 22, 2011 8:33 PM ---
btw, the consol says Unknown command for every command. Even if they work...

 

Could we get some sort of changelog for this plugin meanwhile? Like, in the top post. I'd like to be able to see what has changed without having to slog through the entire thread. It's mostly noise.

 

When I type /plugin reload Essentials,
It says it's reloaded it in the console, but then nothing works =S
It's like it's having some sort of hang up now.

 

@Nate204 Reloading the reloading plugin is a bad idea. For the Unknown Command issue, I've probably already asked you this, but are you on the absolute latest Bukkit build?

@Eris http://www.earth2me.com/x/minecraft/bukkit/Essentials.change.txt

 

/setspawn,/ban,/unban,/pardon is Bronken...
Error message: Error 0/1

I'm OP & Admin...

 

Another Request
noclip
maybe /fly

 

Using Permissions people can use all commands
The only way I stopped them is enableing the command to OP only
But I need my mods to be able to /kick and /give still
Is this a problem with essentials or Permissions

 

@Kylei Are you using the latest build of CraftBukkit? /setspawn is known-good on the latest build. Ban, etc. are still in beta.

@WMP You've got me stumped! Using a similar configuration, I have no issues with /tp and other commands. Try posting in the Permissions thread; @Nijikokun is the expert on Permissions, and knows a lot more about it than I do. I think you are experiencing a problem related to Permissions, not Essentials. If you want, I can send you a "verbose" build that will report certain errors that would normally be "expected", and we can see if we can sort it out.

@DoritosMan Permissions is not loaded if the "restricted-" commands take effect. Ensure that you have it loading properly.

@chernobyl360 I made a client that does both of those things. It might be due for an update, but you can check it out at http://nuble.org/.

 

I think the common usage is:

/who, /list, /playerlist, /online = a list of players logged in
/whois, /playerinfo = details of only one currently logged in user

so making /who and /whois function the same is counterintuitive

what might be interesting would be to make the /whois function as a sort of personal profile even if the user if offline..you'd be able to set a single line of text (similar to MyWarp's welcome message, or Essential's /mail feature) that will display when someone whois's you.

so if someone goes "/whois highwisdom" when i'm offline it might show..text in () is my customized "title":

highwisdom (is the admin of this server, and likes green tea).
[login status or time last logged in]
etc etc


ideally, color codes would be worked in too..and even MORE ideally, you'd somehow rig a way to input multiple lines of text..up to 10, since that's all the chat buffer can display at once..

a possible feature for the /who command might be descriptive /who searches...for exmaple

/who ops
/who farmers

providing such groups are setup in compatible permissions plugins..the results would list members in those groups, and maybe have different colors for online/offline users.

 

@Zenexer: I thing this is problem on Essentials - maybe Essentials dont know about Permissions and himself working(only with exxentials config). I write to @Nijikokun.

 

I can't seem to use the Prefix commands.
The don't show up at all.

What am I doing wrong.

 

@WMP Well, it's working for me, so it must be a configuration or version difference issue.

@Danxl5 Due to the direction in which Bukkit is headed, I am forced to drop support for command prefixes. Why are you using it, so that I may find an alternative for you?

 

/afk and /nick do not work with me.
http://pastebin.com/p4dqB76z of my permissions.

 

How do I give control of all commands over to Permissions? If I set them to restricted people with Permissions can't even use them, and if I set them to unrestricted people without the command in Permissions can still use them.

 

@AbsolutePolak What happens when you try to use them?

@KiloWhiskey Permissions isn't loading properly if the "restricted-" permissions take effect. The Permissions plugin, when loaded, renders the "restricted-" options inert. Were you using Permissions previously? Is it possible that Permissions isn't even loaded?

 

/nick doesn't work for me. It just ignores my command.

 

I installed the plugin, fixed permissions and commands for certain groups, reloaded the plugin. I tried a command but nothing happened, please help me.

 

it just says no command found.

 

@Desereck You wouldn't happen to have "disable-nick: true" in your config.yml file, would you?

@Suprem20 Let's start with the basics. Are you in ops.txt?

@AbsolutePolak Then they are disabled in the config.yml file. Change "disable-XXXX: true" to "disable-XXXX: false". That is for completely disabling commands, not permissions.
