Changelog:
24/08/2011 - released awesome plugin

 

request: permissions based: /help , different /helps for different groups? thanks codename_B

ps: my bananamap

 

Why do you need to post a map of your server, when this is just a general Help plugin, not a mapper?

On-topic: Nice! I might use this soon.

 

Nope, that's beyond the scope of this plugin. It's simple a /help from a flatfile.

Glad someone else sees the use

 

um cause codename made the map plugin and i thought maybe he would like to see his work in use? huge fan of his plugins

 

you need to update to 1.6 just fyi

 

hmm.. difference with this to HelpCenter(even if it's outdated, it's still 100% functioning fine in 1060) plugin?

 

Is this you trying to complete your own challenge of writing a plugin in less then then 50 lines or something? xD

 

support multiple files so you can do /help vip etc etc. Support caching or GTFO <3

 

Doesn't create the 'Help' dir under plugins, nor the help.txt file.

(btw: Linux)

 

help.txt in server root

 

So easy but so usefull.
I'm going to try it

Can you add color codes and multiple pages?

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

 

Yes, needed

Also needed

Would love these features.

 

if i could request to have it be able to have more than one page.. then i would totally love this plugin i do love it already but that would really helpp...

Can you fix the download link plz

 

Please fix download.

 

codename_B I said..FIX IT! Anyway, way to let your domain expire...

 

Wasn't my domain, I was just sharing the hosting with a generous person.

 

(Guys, he's lying)
Still fix it, because it's *so* popular

 

Really - *so* popular? It's like 36 lines of code and could be made by anyone XD

 

nuu, it got 2 requests to be fixed. That's more than all my plugins combined!
