Permissions 3.0
Rcjrrcjr has been working quite hard on this upgrade to Permissions. However, it currently still suffers from a number of bugs. The most important of these which directly affects HeroChat is the non-functioning of prefixes and suffixes. There are less-than-pretty workarounds, but I'm refraining from fully supporting an update until Permissions 3.1 is released which should include a number of significant bug fixes. When this does occur, however, I have a build ready for you guys that should work. You can download it here. Again, I highly suggest not using this until Permissions 3.1 is released unless you really don't care about prefixes and such.

See you when I get back!

Is your config resetting when you make changes?
If you make changes to the config while the server is running, you need to use the /ch reload command to make the changes stick. I wish this message wasn't necessary, but people only seem to read things in big, bold, red text (if at all).

Have a problem? a feature request? Go here.
HeroChat now has its very own redmine found here. If you have an issue or would like to suggest a new feature, I urge you to file it via redmine. I will be checking this much more often than this thread from here on out.

Show your thanks! Maintaining plugins like HeroChat is very nearly a full time job. If you enjoy my plugins and appreciate the support I provide, then please consider providing some support of your own. Donating even a tiny amount keeps me motivated and makes me feel loved so go ahead and donate!

@DThielke, I went through with your suggestion and found that the text worked fine until I started using my configs for Permissions and HeroChat.
http://pastebin.com/DExRGikB Is my HeroChat config.yml
http://pastebin.com/PRY9n2De Is my HeroChat users.yml
http://pastebin.com/KQ5erK43 Is my Permission's config file.
Do you see anything that could be causing the weird spacing within those files? They have to be the culprit, because my testing showed that HeroChat and Permissions were fudging the spacing.

 

I also did some testing on this. I found that when using more then one color in the prefix it would cause the spacing issue, for example

Code:

prefix: '&5[Admin]&7 '

But if I used only one color code it worked fine.

Code:

prefix: '&5[Admin] '

 

Yeah, works since 4.1.
Thanks


#493

 

That fixed it, thank you

 

I actually just did a bunch of testing with the configs Bawb gave me and it seems that it's a bizarre character encoding issue. I have no idea what encoding Bukkit/Permissions expects, but it seems to be adding in extra characters (ascii code 194) that are pushing lines over onto extra lines. I have a ghetto fix that resolves the issue that will be in the next update, but my mind is still boggled as to what encoding it expects.

 

How is it that these extra ascii characters are related to there being 2 colors for my prefix? It seems like an oddly specific and off-the-wall error.

 

The 2 color theory is a by-product of me giving the plugin some leeway with the line length. Each color code is getting parsed with an extra character that shouldn't be there. One color code produces a single extra character, which isn't enough to push the line over to the next because of the leeway I gave it. Two color codes produce two extra characters, however, which are enough to force a new line.

 

@Bawb do you save your configs with ascii? All my cfgs are UTF8 without BOM. With ascii I have problems.

 

Minor update.

Version 4.1.1

• Finally found the cause of the line wrapping bug. It's fixed now.
• Implemented stricter version checking for Permissions. HeroChat will disable itself it the right version isn't found.

 

Awesome! Thanks!

 

Happy to hear you came back on updating this plugin, distributing MultiChannel source code right now if it helps
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/6404/
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22338492/MultiChannel/sourced/v1.0/MultiChannel.jar

 

I never stopped updating this plugin .

 

Well users were waiting you impatiently

 

I don't think there's been a single day since I released this plugin that I haven't taken the time to either update something or respond to a user's issue. If users can't wait a few hours for a response because they won't realize that I too need sleep, then there's not much I can do.

 

Don't worry, I'm just happy you finally released your new HeroChat update
I developed my own plugin without knowing there was another plugin like that, and since I didn't knew if you were still updating it (as users were saying it on my post) I continued developing it when I realized there was HeroChat.

So now that I'm sure you're updating it, I released my source code if it can ever be useful (which I doubt since yours has much more functions than mine, but anyway, always good to see another way to program same functions ^^)

I'm not sure about stopping the MultiChannel development yet, but concurrence on that kind of project is on my point not very productive, it just put a real mess in many users' heads. That's why I prefer collaborating and erasing myself upon your HeroChat development cause I really don't see a point on continuing developing my plugin especially if you develop what was making it special (like passworded channels).

Anyway, good luck, I'll watch your plugin development from close

 

awesome plugin! Everything is working! Thanks!

 

Happy to hear

 

Hi, i have got a problem running your plugin's last version and group manager :

it says that hero chat isnt up to date?

 

Any chance you can upload/links to the older versions of hero chat?

I'm on bukkit #440, but i don't want to upgrade my permissions system (2.0), and i need a chat plugin which will work with both. It seems your older versions did work with this setup, but there's no DL links )=

 

If you are talking to me, i downloaded the last version from the OP of this thread

 

Actually no I wasnt getting the same error as prior to 4.1.0, but the one mentioned in my post.
I'm going to try to update again and see if that works. Also, I have like 23 threads I'm keeping up with so sorry if I'm late. If you don't quote me I don't see it right away. I'll test with new version now.

Of course this error is preventing me from even chatting so its kind of serious. I'm on Permissions 2.5.2.

Here is my permissions config again. It's changed since we last spoke. I'm also still on Craftbukkit 440.

 

You have an error in your config. The 'admins' group is not indented enough.
--- merged: Mar 4, 2011 5:02 PM ---

Well, your config is still working fine for me. Could you pastebin a full server log from server start to the point where you get the error?

 

Hi, is herochat compatible with ichat?

 

http://pastebin.com/3LUM4xPe

Here's the server.log. Don't see what this is going to do to help as it says pretty much the same thing, but you would know best I guess.

 

Technically yes, it should be, although I'm not sure why you'd need iChat if you're using HeroChat. Care to explain?
--- merged: Mar 4, 2011 5:32 PM ---

Hm. Could you see if the same things occurs with only HeroChat and Permissions enabled? Also, I'm about to upload 4.1.4 which will display the full error message. Once that's uploaded, produce the error again and give me the whole thing.
--- merged: Mar 4, 2011 5:33 PM ---
Super minor update posted.

Change Log
Version 4.1.4

• Added full error reporting to Permissions issues.

--- merged: Mar 4, 2011 5:37 PM ---
Also, if you have any '§'s in either of your configs, change them to '&'.

 

Hmm. Well it seems there is another issue somewhere.

As there seems to be no errors when I load up the server with JUST HeroChat and Permissions.

I shall try loading it up with all the stuff again and see what error I get, if any.

Ok; whatever you updated definitely is showing the errors, because now there's a flood of text as soon as I say something, AND nothing enters in-game in the chat:

I found the error. It was something on my end related to players using custom display names (which is why you didn't have the issue with other plugins disabled). It should be fixed now.

Change Log
Version 4.1.5

• Fixed an error when using custom display names.

--- merged: Mar 4, 2011 6:07 PM ---
Also, for anyone who might be interested, I have released the source under a CC license.

 

Works perfectly now. Excellent work. Thank you, sir!

 

Yay
