Version: 1.50​

Find and Backroll those Damn Griefers​

LogBlock release are on DevBukkit:

LogBlock dev builds:

Please read the installation guide

I won't port LogBlock myself to mcAPI. Source code is available, so it shouldn't be to difficult for someone else to do it, also I'm still here. so I can answer questions. If there is more than one willing, that's up to you to handle that.




The reasons I take this step, are the usual: I quit playing Minecraft about 5 months ago and lastly I was struggling to keep up with updates. The developement of Guardian made slow progress, so I fear it won't be ready to fully replace LB in time.

Description:

LogBlock logs block changes into a MySQL database. Block changes can be placed or destroyed block, explosions, burned blocks, sign text changes, chest access, leaves decay etc.
It can be used as griefer identification tool, to find out who build a particular building, or even roll back changes by certain players. Other purposes can be e.g: Undoing of forest fires
All additional features are optional, to keep the database as short as possible. All database actions run in their own threads to avoid server lags.
The use of permissions plugin (or any clone) is possible, but not necessary.
Uses Spout for chest logging (but it's fully optional, and there is no need for the client mod at all).

Features:

• Logging for block placing, block braking, fire, explosions, leaves decay, signtexts, lava flow and chest content
• Very mighty commands system, not only allowing to rollback and redo, but also to tp to blockchanges, delete log ingame etc. Full list of commands.
• Many parameters for lookup/rollback/redo/tp/clearlog commands: Block changes of one ore more player, in a specific area, in a world edit selection, specific block types only, block changes older or newer that a specific date, destroyed/created block only, in a different world and combinations of all these parameters. Full list of parameters.
• Rebuilding map after importing a backup (/lb redo)
• Last parameter to use the parameters of the last command
• Quick ingame lookup of block history a wood pickaxe or a bedrock block.
• All commands accessible from console (exept tools )
• Custom queries for tools.
• Different tool modes (lookup, rollback, redo, writelogfile and clearlog)
• Saves block data like wool color, log type, torch adjustment, etc
• Multiworld and multiserver support (some servers sharing the same database)
• BigBrother log import
• Loggable super pickaxe plugin (not to confuse with WorldEdit's super pickaxe)
• API
• Webstats

Why to use LogBlock:

Example commands: (thanks to tha d0ctor, read more about commands here)

/lb rollback player fire since 1d3h – rolls back fire 1 day 3 hours
/lb rollback player fire since 1d3h area 15 – rolls back fire 1 day 3 hours within a radius of 15 blocks

/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 1h - rolls back thad0ctor 1 hour
/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 1d area 5 – rolls back thad0ctor actions for the last day within 5 blocks
/lb rollback area 10 since 1h30m - rolls back all modifications within 10 blocks since the list 1 hours and 30 mins
/lb rollback area 10 before 06.11.2011 - roll back all changes in an area of 1o before June 11th, 2011
/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 05:36:00 - roll back all changes of thad0ctor since 05:36 (server time)

How to post error messages:


I won't aswer questions to general MySQL setup/installation/what is MySQL (there are lots of good tutorials out there, use google)
Please read the installation guide before asking a question about installation problems.
Please read the FAQ before posting a error report. It may be solved there.
In case of rollback or lookup problems: Type /lb savequeue and try again (when it's fixed then, it was a consumer problem, see FAQ)
When you post error messages, it's important to paste the whole stack trace!

I have 0.12c installed and I still get this 32767 thing. But thankyou for the notice.

 

Yes ... it's a shame. I don't know why the bukkit scheduler says it started the cunsumer, rather then returning that it didn't. A alredy added an alternative in the case that bukkit scheduler fails. Will add a manual config to don't use the bukkit scheduler.
Every dev (or at least most of them) says: "don't use timer, it's horrible, use the bukkit scheduler", but for me there are only problems. And I've no clue why it only fails at a few servers.

 

Considered allowing an option in the config file to revert to timer instead of Scheduler? That way, everyone can be catered for

I experienced one problem still, Server Crash, no chance to do lb savequeue or for it to exit nicely. So having a Timer option would definitely be welcomed

 

Thanks that did it! Cheers!

Got this error this evening. I think I've seen similar ones before. Looks like it has to do with logging sign text. Perhaps it's a single-quotes issue when someone tries write a sign like "Bob's House".

Code:

04:11:14 [SEVERE] [LogBlock Consumer] SQL exception
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's] [Mob Grinder]')' at line 1

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

 

sad day when u spend 4 hours with ur girlfrend log back in to save the queue and its over 46k in size! took a min to save.
any way you can have an "auto queue save" setting, for the /lb savequeue.
its err not saveing by auto if it does that like it used to :/
dump timer is set to 2

 

Looks like, but I'm escaping signtexts since v0.11b.

EDIT: Found it, backslashes are causing that. Fixed this.

Hm, I guess the option to not use the bukkit schduler will work too.

 

Plugin doesn't work for me. I get no errors or something else. The Plugin connects to the Database and all is fine.
But when i click with the wooden pickaxe, it shows me no Logs. Permissions are enabled (btw).

 

Logblock 12b

seems to fail at what its ment to be doing!
I dunno if u can reproduce it but we had some new grief and even tho it shows us who did it, It wont roll back the user it says zero changes even when we roll back as far as 10 days.

When its obvious that the grief is now as it was not there yesterday and we only had this PLUGIN for past 3 days.

Giving LB 12c a shot now I also want to shorten the commands as there huge.

I'm not sure it even asks it I want roll back like BB did. BB asks me to confirm my choice on rollback.
BB proved more reliable at this point in time and I am considering going back if I don't get this rollback to work every time with out fail.


IT could be the config tho

I never added nothing to the rollback item list, I dunno why you would even have that there a rollback black list yea but a whitelist seems kinda pointless anyway I added nothing to it hopeing it would roll back anything anyway.

As I was pretty sure I did not have SETUP item ID's for it to work with.

 

It's probably the problem with the bukkit schduler. Does the log appear when you type "/lb savequeue"?

When it's in the database, there is no rational reason to fail at rollback. Which command are you using with what syntax?

Good suggestion.

It's kind of nagging, when you rollback a tnt explosion and the tnt blocks come back. Therefore is the blacklist.

 

It shows me: Wrong argument. Type /lb help for help

 

Yea I said I get the Blacklist I was wondering why it had a white list as well.

oh and to rollback I used

/lb rollback player name
This gave me a list of what the rollback did but told me o changes where found.

I tried to do

/lb rollback player name 10days
it appears the syntax is not valid

Not quite sure how to use that one.
I did once successfully that way seems to work but rolling back changes with just player name hopeing it would roll back all does nothing. Maybe I should try rollback just area.


By the way I assume the selection uses worldedit and worldguard ?

 

You should update to v0.12c

0 changes were found, because the player didn't any change the last 30 minutes.
There should have been a message like "Rolling back player xyz by 30 minutes"
When you don't specify a time, the default time is used (which is 20 minutes by default)
The syntax is:
/lb rollback player name 10 days (the space is important)

Yup, selection is the current WorldEdit selection.

 

I've downloade it today <.<

 

Ah I will go try that
and come back if it not work.

You better update the in game help then find it confusing as it does not specify the important of spaces or anything.

You would have been wiser to give an example like

/lb rollback player name 5 days - Example


Out of curiosity

Why is this better over BB

BB seems to fixing its flaws and its actually easier to use in a lot of ways over this.

for instance its commands are shorter.

 

Hey, I have a "problem".

In my log file i get a bunch of linses like this fellow here:

Code:

2011-04-13 14:59:53 [INFO] [LogBlock Consumer] Queue overloaded. Size: 5835

Since I'm a smart person I know it's related to the "/lb savequeue" command somehow.
But what does this command actually does? It's something like a buffer between the plugin and the DB right? Hmm I get my logs immediately after "griefing around"... I can't figure it out.

ot: You can't perform a search request in only one topic here at bukkit ? :/

Thanks in advance!

 

can u link me a diffrent timer?

 

I have an idea how about ability to warp to a players last 10 edits "Configurable" Not even BB has that.

 

Will release today.

Great! Will come.

 

sweet, cant wait!!

 

When using a LB command as an op and admin it just says I don't have access to that command. Stuff is logged into the database properly though.
CB #670 and LB v0.12c

 

Probably permissions?

 

Craftbukkit 674 and LogBlock 0.12c still crashes on startup, there's something wrong with the MySQL connection code:

Code:

Rollback to 0.11b is still the only solution I've found. Please help...

 

Hi, umm i have enabled logChestAccess: true in the Config but it only logs 0 0 0 0 everywhere ... in the world3-chest table (( doesn't it work?

 

Nvm, I noticed I had changed the permissions Thnks anyway

 

Strange... The connection check on start works (wouldn't show enables if not).
It could be a variant of the config bug. It could work when you rename the config, start once to autocreate and set config entries again.

No, it's not implemented yet. Still waiting for the hooks. Thought they would come earlier.

 

After reloading the server:

EDIT:
Okay work again, false Username ^^. I'm so stupid .

 

The issue with backslashes should be fixed with v0.12c. Alternatively disable dumbDroppedLog in config.

 

perhaps it would make sense to specifiy logging only for certain permission groups.

I can be quite certain that my moderators and admins don't grief so I could exclude them from being logged, same thing could be done with other people you trust or have been on the server for a long time.

 

I see what you mean but in my experience a misbehaving op can be more of a problem than any regular player so you may want to keep tabs on them all just to be on the safe side.

What you could do is manually purge their data from the database sooner than the other players. I reckon it should take about 10 minutes to whip up a script for that and run it once a day using cron or whatever.

That did the trick. Curious.

Love this plugin, I banned 10 players in as many minutes yesterday and never had to touch the backups. No more disputes over who did what and generally a more friendly and open atmosphere on the server now that they know griefers can be dealt with in a quick and efficient way.
