Code:

HelpLines:
    page1:
        line1: '&!R--------------------- /HELP 1/2 ---------------------'
        line2: '&!R/help &!w#  &!W-  Views help page &!w#'
        line3: '&!R/who  &!W-  Lists the players online and how many slots are left'
        line4: '&!R/spawn  &!W-  Teleports you to the global spawn'
        line5: '&!R/home help  &!W-  Shows home related help'
        line6: '&!R/warp help  &!W-  Shows warp related help'
        line7: '&!R/msg  &!W-  Sends a private message to the specified player'
        line8: '&!R/r  &!W-  Reply to the last player you communicated with'
        line9: '&!R/me  &!W-  Allows you to emote'

        line3: '&!R/ping  &!W-  Pong! (Check server response time)'

        line7: null

        line9: null

 

thanks
btw nice plugins

 

First off, love this plugin. Helps on my new server to no end.

Secondly:

I'd like to throw my support behind this idea. We have 3 or 4 different groups on our server, each with their own set of commands.

 

Do you have any wishes on how to set if a line should be sent to only some people or to everyone?

 

yes, by groupname...

Code:

HelpLines[Default,VIP]:
    page1:
        line1: '&!R--------------------- /HELP 1/2 ---------------------'
        line2: '&!R/help &!w#  &!W-  Views help page &!w#'
    page2:
        line1: '&!R--------------------- /HELP 2/2 ---------------------'
        line2: '&!R/kit  &!W-  Obtains the specified kit or views all available kits'
HelpLines[Administrators]:
    page1:
        line1: '&!R--------------------- /HELP 1/2 ---------------------'
        line2: '&!R/help &!w#  &!W-  Views help page &!w#'
    page2:
        line1: '&!R--------------------- /HELP 2/2 ---------------------'
        line2: '&!R/kit  &!W-  Obtains the specified kit or views all available kits'

 

That would mean, that you have to write the complete list maybe twice only to add 1 or 2 things to the Admins
But if you want it like this.
I will add it
Shouldn't take too long to make.

Thanks for this idea.

Permissions

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

 

Can you make based on actual group name rather than permission? We have a moderator group which sits between our normal users and administrators and they have different commands.

As for copying and pasting all the lines, that doesn't bother me and it seems like the best way to do it.

 

I have a problem. If I'm typing "/help", plugin shows first page from HelpLines[Admin], it's good. But if I'm typing "/help 2" (or any other page), plugin shows me pages from HelpLines[Default].

What I'm doing wrong?

 

That won't work.
Because everybody can create their own groups with their own name.
So you can't make the Plugin Group-Name-Based.
Sorry.

@GT-Rustik: I'll check that.

#Released version 1.5

@GT-Rustik: Bug should be fixed now
Thanks for posting that.

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

 

Is the sourcecode public? Do you mind if someone forks it?

 

Yes, Thank You! And now this plugin is awesome ^^.

Hm.. I'm noticed one thing. If I'm typing "/help", plugin shows page1, its ok. But "/help 1" shows me page2, "/help 2" shows page3. Is it bug or feature?

I think it's even useful - for example, I can set page1 as main help page (which call by simple "/help", where users can choose categories, located in next pages. And access for them - "/help 1" for category1 (page2), "/help 2" for category2 (page3) etc - in my opinion it is logical and understandable for user .

Maybe make this feature like an option in config-file? Or add page0.

 

Hey!
I really love this plugin
Good job!
But why can't I configure custom help lines like this:

Code:

        permissions:
            - 'SimpleHelp.staff'

And

Code:

HelpLines[Staff]:

Is that possible?
Thanks!

 

It seems strange you can't check what group the user belongs to and then check to see if a group of help commands exists for that and if not, display the default.

But then again, I don't know Java programming. Thanks anyway. I will still use your plugin. Maybe one day we can figure it out.

 

Suggestion: Ability to create named help pages. Instead of (or in addition to) numbered pages, you could name custom pages for example: "/help Craftbook" etc. Wouldnt think it would be that different programming than numbered pages except for the strings.

 

Hmm Microsoft would say "It's not a bug, it's a feature" But if i am seriouss, it shouldn't be like that
I would say that bug is new since latest Version. Will release a new one in a few minutes.

Permissions is created to let the admins freely decide, how to set the permissions and stuff.
You can also choose your own name for the Groups.
I have no real idea, how to check for every group, which name it has and then check the permission for it.

Will see, if i can add this in the future
But maybe it will be an optional feature.

This is not possible, because there is only one permissions node and that's SimpleHelp.admin
Sorry.

//EDIT:
#Released Version 1.5.1
Checkout the Changelog!

 

It's looks like it is old jar-file on SimpleHelp_1.5.1-link.
Bug whith wrong pages is not fixed.

 

Looks like I forgot to change the file xd Sorry.
Now it's done.

BTW: The Links stays the same even when updating the plugin

 

@Chewing-Gumm
Thanks again! Now waiting for new ideas and updates.

 

But hey, when i use simplehelp.default its the default and simplehelp.admin its another, so there is no way of making it for example simplehelp.boro to show boro's help lines :?

 

I know.
You can only use
SimpleHelp.admin
That is for the adminlist of help.

If you want a group to see only the basic/default help you simply leave out the permission node.
You can't define your own List -> HelpLines[Boro]

 

not working
An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command
when i write /help or /reloadhelp

i got the .jar in my plugins and it wont seem to work

 

Hey Chewing-Gumm,

your plugin inspired me to create my own Help-System plugin, which has some features I needed and SimpleHelp didn't provide. It may also be interesting for other readers of this thread, maybe even you.
Let me know if it's ok to link to it from here.

cheers,

TJ

@Semirotta
Is there anything in detail, what you can post me?
Like the console report when you try to use the commands??
I really liked to help you.

@ToastedJelly
If you want to, you can post your link here.
1) No Spam! You can post it once and it's enough i think
2) Why do you want to post it here?

 

I got another working from ToastedJelly. Useful, easy to edit, works fine
thank you anyways m8

 

Thanks, but I don't want to spam your thread - I just felt some guys here that asked for some features should know about it, but I PMed them directly and that's it.

 

Essentials seems to be overriding this! Why so?! I'm using build 803 and Essentials 2.2 and your current version. (Yes, 1.5.1)

EDIT: Oops! I made a plugin typo. :s

 

Plugin is working with newest BukkitBuild

 

I get this with Bukkit 818:
