[INACTIVE][FUN/ADMN] Spyer 1.5_1 - invisibility for moderating and pvp!(alternative to Vanish) SPOUT

SPYER HAS A NEW HOME!

WARNING! THIS PLUGIN REQUIRES SERVER SIDE SPOUT! CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!
WARNING! OLD PERMISSION SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTED! YOU WILL NEED A BUKKIT PERMISSIONS STANDARD COMPLIANT PERMISSIONS SYSTEM!
Hotfixed SpyerFun on 16th of August. Version number of the jar didn't change. Fixed a bunch of bugs.
SpyerFun - a plugin that allows playersto become invisible for some time. Each second the player "eats" one item out of the stack he is holding (hider item, sugar by default). While invisible, mob can and will still attack the player, although other players (exceptions are implemented) can not. The player will reappear when he either runs out of the hider item or switches to another item in his action bar, e.g. a sword.
SpyerAdmin - a plugin that allows moderators to hide themselves for an unlimited amount of time, as well as simulating them leaving. This is a constantly updated alternative to Vanish, with much more features and configurations!
Thanks to brafenschlug for this hilarious video of moderators playing pranks on players!

Features:

• Now uses Spout! This plugin is no longer CPU heavy!
• Allows players to become invisible for a set amount of time!
• Adds more fun to PVP.
• Allows administrators to hide themselves and simulate them quitting! Overrides msg,r and list.
• Stops players from picking things up while using SpyerAdmin (see the configuration section)
• Knocks players out from invisibility (SpyerFun) when they get damaged (see the configuration section)
• Knocks players out from invisibility (SpyerFun) when they left-click a block (see the configuration section)
• Now reload friendly!

How to use (SpyerAdmin):

• Use /spy to become and stop being invisible (toggled).
• Use /quit to simulate you quitting/joining (toggled).
• Place 1 piece of the indicator item into your quickbar. It will indicate if you are hidden or not. By default it is glowstone that turns into sulphur. You can configure that in plugins/Spyer/SpyerAdmin.conf.

How to use (SpyerFun):

• Right click with the "hider" item, every second it will eat up one item from the stack.
• To add/change "hider" items, go to plugins/Spyer/items.yml. You'll see something like this:
  Code:

  {352: 3000, 353: 1000}

  Items are separated by commas. The ID is the right value, and the time of usage (per block) in milliseconds(HAS to be dividable by 50!). So if I want to add clay to work for 10 seconds per piece, I will do something like
  Code:

  {352: 3000, 353: 1000, 337: 10000}

  Note: by default, bones and sugar are used.

Installation instructions, downloads:

Install server-side Spout. No Spout client required.

SpyerAdmin.jar
SpyerAdminCommands.jar
SpyerFun.jar

Instructions for different setups:

• Essentials: Download SpyerInstaller, put it in the server directory and run it from terminal(console). Go to configuration->4.
• Vanilla Bukkit: go to (server directory)/plugins/Spyer. Open repo.conf, replace everything with
  Code:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16258042/SpyerAdminRepos/Vanilla/

• CommandBook: Special version for you! semi-direct Replace SpyerAdminConmmands.jar with this version!

Configuring:

List of permissions:

1. spyer.spy (Players who have this have access to the /spy and /quit commands, without permissions checks for op powers)
2. spyer.seeAll (Players who have this can see people who are hidden, without permissions checks for op powers)
3. spyer.fun (Players who have this can use SpyerFun, without permissions defaults to true)
4. spyer.stopmobs.admin (Stops moderators from being attacked by mobs while hidden)
5. spyer.stopmobs.fun (Stops players from being attacked by mobs while hidden)

Files:

• spyer.yml - responsible for holding timing data. If syncWithScheduler is true, the plugin will use the bukkit's scheduler (recommended). If false, use Java timers. refreshRate defines the time in ticks (in milliseconds if syncWithScheduler = false). Add the optional field coolDown and set its value to your cooldown time in milliseconds (for SpyerFun, time in between invisibility uses). Add pickUp: true to allow picking up items while hidden in SpyerAdmin. To knock out people from SpyerFun when they damage an entity, add "onDamage: true". To knock out people from SpyerFun when they left click a block, add "onBlock: true". To stop invisible players (SpyerFun) from damaging other living entities, add "noDamage: true". Boolean "wait" allows/disallows the plugin to delay reloading to give them time to hide.
• repo.conf - holds the url of the repository from which SpyerAdmin will update the script.
• script.js - compatibility layer between plugins. e.g. Essentials script will simulate Essentials commands, Vanilla script will simulate the normal minecraft commands.
• items.yml - holds the list of items used in SpyerFun
• SpyerAdmin.conf - holds indicator item ids for SpyerAdmin

Modifying scripts:

1. Comment out all the lines in repo.conf.
2. Modify the script.
3. If you want to update the script, you can get it from [repopath]/script.js

Version: v1.5_1

Known issues

• If you get a NullPointer when enabled (that contains something like "at nickguletskii200.SpyerAdmin.CustomHandling.<init>(Unknown Source)", then download this and put it into your jre's lib directory. You might also need to install Rhino. Disclaimer: this file is a part of the OpenJDK package.

No, I want direct linking and proper sync. Everything works for me, flush your DNS cache and try again. If that doesn't work, well, the problem can't be solved by me - it is clearly on your side.

If they attacked you before you went invisible, then yes, they are not going to ignore you.

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

 

ok thanks

Any idea why craftbukkituptodate is telling me there's an update for spyeradmin.jar?

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

 

Because the version on craftbukkituptodate is completely outdated.

 

hmm i'll tell him to change it

 

So if we just use the spyeradmin do we need 2 jars or 1? I've been running it fine for awhile and just downloaded the commandbook version and got the following when I tried to run it...

5 06:57:49 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling SpyerAdminCommands v1.4 stable (Is it up to date?): null

What am I missing? There was only the 1 jar file, if I used the spyer admin from the zip it really freaks out....

 

I use the @sk89q stuff like CommandBook etc. and Permissions 3+

Just noticed there is a CommandBook version ~

 

SpyerAdmin now consists of two modules - the main jar (SpyerAdmin.jar) and the jar that is used for compatibility with command plugins (SpyerAdminCommands.jar).

 

When I try to use the commands I get "An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command." I'm not exactly sure how to fix it, or what it means?

 

Output please.

Do you have permissions?

 

Yes.

 

Link to the OP of those permissions?

 

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...gin-of-tomorrow-818.18430/page-96#post-384419

 

What the hell, it was fine, yet another change? GRRRRRRRRRRRRr

EDIT: no, you haven't installed Permissions correctly.

 

Hmm, does it still support permission 2.7.4?

 

Yes, in fact it encourages 2.7.4.

 

Figured It works fine now. Either had a couple of bad downloads or a case of the "Mondays"! Anyway thanks for the help and the work!

 

How do i fix so admins cant see people who is invisible? i want to mess a little with my friend who is an admin

 

Read the thread.

 

the server need longer to stop if spyer is installed.

is there a problem with the plugin?

 

It is configurable. Please see the configuration section.

 

where exactly?
nothing found

 

@nickguletskii

Seeing this on 860 / 1.4 - Thoughts?
http://pastie.org/2093769

 

What version of permissions? :/
Damned permissions plugins, so idiotic...

EDIT: Also, why do you have syncWithScheduler = false? It isn't recommended.
EDIT 2: Actually, this doesn't necessarily mean you are using the timers... Hmm, looks like Permissions really hates async calls. How frequently does this happen?

 

Under heavy load - we get 1-5 ticks on our server (90+ players)
Why would we want to sync with a system that is constantly behind?

 

Heh, make the refreshRate bigger in the config file.

Also, what do you mean by "we get 1-5 ticks on our server"? The cache should only allow it to use permissions every 4 seconds at max.

Oh, and what do you mean by "sync with a system that is constantly behind"?

EDIT: I might add packet events and push a commit to bukkit. That would remove the need for tasks.

 

Since we really don't talk - I'll explain my setup.

We run a very large server - on great hardware. However, with pushing the max players above 80 - we see that there is an -extreme- tick degradation. Normal ticks should be 15-20 - we currently see 1-5 ticks every second.

So with sub 60 players, we get 15/20 ticks
with 80+players we see 1-5/20 ticks

The current Bukkit Scheduler system runs along side the ticks - the ticks are the heartbeat of the scheduler - so if the ticks aren't performing correctly or are behind - anything that uses the scheduler will be adjusted accordingly. Hence my reason to stay away from it.

I will increase the refresh time and move back to the scheduler but I do have my worries.

 

I tried using that SpyerInstaller to patch my essentials.jar so that it would fix /who, /msg and /list so people couldn't see you, but it seems to fully break.
This came up when it tried to load the spyer plugins on server boot:

Code:

Any help, anyone? :C

edit: It worked fine before attempting to patch the plugins.

 

Yes, I understand your problem. I couldn't do anything about it because there was no API for packet management, which meant that there isn't any proper way of finding out if the player can see the other player or not. Today I started work on packet events and hopefully they will be ready for tomorrow - if the bukkit team will pull it, I will scrap all the scheduler tasks and use events instead.
