[GEN/SEC/ECON/TP/ADMN] Essentials - A collection of useful commands

Im also getting null points with jail and mods still cant use /vanish or /togglejail when permission is given.
Edit: A player is randomly jailed even thought hes not in jail using /togglejail gives "person is already in jail null" Fixing that with his userdata doesnt work it reverts back.

Code:

Even thought I never jailed him.

 

@Mojo: I can't reproduce it, but I added a null check to our code.

 

When essentials 2.5 will be compatibile with "SimpleSignEdit v.1.5" ?

Developer bug description.

 

sooo... any idea why i can't get /fireball working? I installed FlowerPower for the time being.

 

same here.

 

@essentialsteam

Essential is 2.5.x

http://pastebin.com/J7rdZ219

NPE not handled by essentials and also effects Heroes I posted this on both threads currently the advice stands at "remove essentials!"

Edit:
Confirmed on a test server running "bukkitcontrib,Permissions 3.1.6,Nocheat,Heroes,Essentials protect,essentials,essentialsspawn,Citizens.

Upload the jar and my configs for Heroes so u can test it hope u can find the issue.

 

Just a small note:
When I log into the server I get two lines describing how many mails I have in my inbox.
One is from the MOTD and is white. The other one is gray. How do I get rid of the gray one that is not in the MOTD?

 

when i use permmisions i want the defualt group not to build but i want them to be able to open doors

How do i do that?

 

who/list command is broken.

If i copy the hole plugin folder to my local directory, and start the server with #1000 (same as server), the who/list command works on my local machine. On the server not ! What's the problem

 

@ledhead900 That is fixed in dev build, will be in the next release build. Grab 2.5.5

 

If I go on IRC now can I get a copy of of the link for latest dev buils for testing until release, Also some people tell me essentials is bad and hooks into every event tho it does not have to touch it.

Why would it do that ? I prob don't really care as long it works but if thats what is causing issue why do it.

edit:
I'm no stranger to the test builds been using this for a long time.

Edit:
appears 2.5.5 was released moments later thx

 

@ledhead900 I released the fix as version 2.5.5

 

for new 2.5 i have bukkit 1000 but get this.

wait omg nvm im on my backup server and didnt update craftbukit

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

 

Essentials eco compatible with Towny etc?

 

Why when i type /i piston or /i shears it say's unknow item?

 

@jammasterz Remove items.csv from essentials folder and let Essentials create a new one on server start.

 

Thank you for updating and nullchecks.

 

Will someone help me? I can't seem to edit any value on the config.yml without the Essentials failing to load.

 

/warp create <name> isn't working for me. It just says "player doesn't exist".

 

try /setwarp <name>

 

the command is /setwarp name

hmm lol people only reply to the easy questions

 

what are the permissions nodes for the /vanish and /vanish hide commands? I dont see them in the wiki, so far I've tried essentials.vanish and essentials.vanishnopickup. oh wait.... vanishnopickup.vanish?

 

People can't "Use" signs unless I give them the "essentials.signs.*" permission. I don't want them to be able to use everything but otherwise there is no way.

 

essentials.signs.use.*

 

I get "error: null" whenever I use /spawn. What should I do?

 

/vanish does not worl

 

They both work. make sure your on CB 1000 and essentials 2.5.5 and have the correct jars in your plugins folder and that there are no errors and that you have essentials working correctly.

 

The awesome time command is almost done:
https://github.com/oloflarsson/Essentials/commit/eeee9886bcf462d50fb42c890dd85e0aab7b66ee

These are things that need to be fixed though:

• Permission nodes (Which should we have now?)
• Are permissions tested correctly?
• I18N
• Better help instructions than "Unknown time descriptor... brlalidididiablidadadibibibiiba!! TODO"

I am not familiar with how you handle console help instructions and permissions nodes. Can I leave the rest to you and make a pull request?

I suggest the following permission nodes:

• essentials.time (To see world time)
• essentials.time.set (To set world time)
• essentials.ptime (To see player time)
• essentials.ptime.set (To set your own playertime)
• essentials.ptime.others (To set others playertime)

suggestion:
it should be possible for admins to teleport to invisbled players by vanishnopickup.

 

I tried that and it didn't work. When I switched to 2.5.5 and I tried to create a sign it would say "Error: Invalid Charge"
