Commands:

Note: ALL of the below commands can start with autosave instead of save if another plugin is using the save command such as WorldEdit. This will always allow access to the in game configuration of the plugin.

/save

Saves the world outside of the interval.​

Requires Permission: autosave.save​

/save help

Displays help dialogue​

/save toggle

Toggles the automatic saves (turns off or on depending on current setting)​

Requires Permission: autosave.toggle​

/save status

Prints status message about the current state of automatic saves​

Requires Permission: autosave.status​

/save interval {seconds}

Sets or gets the interval setting in seconds​

Requires Permission: autosave.interval​

/save addworld [value]

Adds world to the World Save List​

Requires Permission: autosave.world.add​

/save remworld [value]

Removes world from the World Save List​

Requires Permission: autosave.world.rem​

/save world

Displays the World Save List​

Requires Permission: autosave.world​

/save broadcast {on|off}

Sets or gets the broadcast setting​

Requires Permission: autosave.broadcast​

/save debug {on|off}

Sets or gets the debug setting​

Requires Permission: autosave.debug​

/save warn {seconds[,seconds]...}

Sets or gets the warning time setting in seconds (warns users of an upcoming save n seconds before it happens)​

Requires Permission: autosave.warn​

/save version

Prints AutoSave version​

Requires Permission: autosave.version​

​

Reporting:

AutoSave reports minimal anonymous data to provide general usage tracking. No personal or server information is ever transmitted. The following data is provided:

• Plugin Name (this will always be AutoSave)
• Plugin Version
• Bukkit Version (the full Bukkit version string)
• Operating System
  • Name
  • Version
  • Architecture
• Java Version

This data helps me understand the environments in which AutoSave is used within, however you are more than welcome to disable it, either via "var.report" in the configuration file, or "save report [off|on]" from console.

Known Issues:

• During upgrade messages no longer are colored
  • Solution: Delete config file or add colors manually

Permissions:

Permissions can be disabled by manually editing the config file and setting "permissions" to false. That will completely disable Permissions. Running AutoSave without Permissions with the value to true (default) will cause the plugin to unload itself.

Here are the permission settings, either do 'autosave.*' or use the granular permissions below:

autosave.save: Allows the ability to save at any time​

autosave.toggle: Allows the ability to stop and start AutoSave​

autosave.status: Allows the ability to see status of AutoSave​

autosave.interval: Allows the ability to see and change interval setting​

autosave.broadcast: Allows the ability to see and change broadcast setting​

autosave.version: Allows the ability to see the version of AutoSave​

autosave.debug: Allows the ability to change the debug setting​

autosave.warn: Allows the ability to see and change the warning time setting​

autosave.world: Allows the ability to view the world save list​

autosave.world.add: Allows the ability to add to the world save list​

autosave.world.rem: Allows the ability to remove from the world save list​

 

My config settings aren't being saved with 1.3.0 & cb740, specifically custom messages/save intervals... I'm able to change the warn time from both the config file and in game, but pretty much nothing else... thoughts?

 

hey many thanks for this really good plugin, but i miss one thing, the possibility to change the color from the world save broadcast, can you please add this in the config ?

 

I have the same issue as Wanderer89 My config file saves the info i changed but you cant see the changes ingame it save automatically every 5min but i done 1hour.

 

Looks like your missing Permissions, it is required to have Permissions for now.

Are you doing anything else like reloading plugins constantly? When this happens next (aka right before you issue stop to your server) enable debugging on my plugin by using "save debug on" and pastebin the your log file. That should help.

I have never used the PerformanceTweaks plugin. Have you reported this issue with him as it looks like he has re-written a portion of the Minecraft server itself? I'm not certain what he has done to the class (seems to be using org.jbls.LexManos.ChunkPersistance in that stack trace which is not a Bukkit or Minecraft class).

Are you trying to edit the config file while it is running? If so you'll probably have some pretty rough experiences while doing it. I haven't had an issue changing the interval via either method. Could you enable debugging (save debug on) and changing some variables, restarting, and pastebin the resulting logs?

Yea, I've been meaning to do this for a while. I'm finishing up the semester soon and I'll jump on that!

Could you try doing what I asked him just a few posts ago? That would really help!

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

 

I want my users to see "Warning, AutoSave will commence in <#seconds>"

What variable must I use to display the amount of seconds?

 

huh?

ah!
i get it now.
so..if essentialgroupmanager is install...the group need to have permission to use /save

 

I haven't gotten time to polish up the permissions so at this point it REQUIRES permissions (or you get those awesome stack traces) and then you will also need the actual permission nodes as well.

 

cereal, can you explain me what doing this plugin?
can't understand from description

 

It is very very very simple. It forces the server to perform a save as if you did "save-all" (but does a few more things like notifying players, saving player files, etc). This helps for automated backups outside of Minecraft or using mapping software, or limiting exposure to lost map changes / inventory by forcing saves on an interval.

 

My minecraft is crashing on these saves and on /save-all.

This is with about 25 people on (and another 10ish trying to log in constantly)

The world then gets bumped back in time. Is my world too huge? I don't know what the problem could be!

 

Sounds troubling, but I can't help without logs since it tells me what is happening (prior to and during the errors). Please enable debugging by issuing "save debug on" or editing the configuration file, then providing the error and as much of the rest of the log file as you can (initial startup of the server is EXTREMELY helpful). If you can do that, its possible I'll know what is happening.

Also, /save-all is not an AutoSave command, /save is however.

 

@cereal - is there any conflicts with using AutoSave and This? http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/me...nimizer-and-more-740.15827/page-6#post-287274

 

If they support all the Bukkit calls then in theory it should work (Bukkit has supported the save world and players call ever since my pull request - yay!). However, I'm not 100% familiar with what they are doing. I believe I saw someone earlier post a stacktrace from the use of that plugin but I haven't tested it and I don't have the time to look into their source code and debug what's going on.

Short answer? Not sure.

 

not working in 766 ... going to update soon? please do ... we need this plugin ... its TOO GOOD

 

"not working" isn't helpful. Post your logs please.

Running 35 slots on 2.1GB (max my 32bit will allow) with incremental increasing ram.. Everything is crystal clear until auto save comes along it seems. Also getting "Hole In Floor" for some people teleporting to their homes and things - I don't know if its because the autosaves are being corrupted or something?

Am I trying to do too much?

 

@Kahl

Hard to say, if you have a heavily loaded server its possible you could see these issues since saves happen during server ticks (hence the lag). I wonder.......brb.

 

Just for anecdotal evidence, been running autosave since the release of 766 on a small server (5 persons online max on an i7 with 8gb running debian and a few other game servers) with no problems whatsoever, and PerformanceTweaks autosavestopper is enabled too...

 

So my map was recently griefed bad and I need a plugin that I can reload a map that was saved before the grief, is this the plugin I'm looking for?

 

No. This plugin just performs saves (but doesn't make backups).

 

Seems like just the plugin I have been looking for! I will try it out soon. Thanks.

 

It happens during /save-all's also so I think its because our CPU can't keep up.

We're upgrading to a dedicated server that costs 5x as much as our current so I'll let you know whether it was a server or plugin problem.

 

You can also experiment with using a ram disk for your world, but that is definitely outside the scope of this thread.

 

Cereal, nice plugin, I've been using /save-all from a cron entry and bash scripts, but lately our world files have grown, to the point that during a loaded server (30 people or so), the saves time people out, taking more than 30 seconds to save (this on a raid 10 setup), but I know its the size of my world files, around 1.8gb.

Anyway, with testing 1.3 Autosave on RB766, I notice that autosave is ignoring my world list. If I /save, it says it saved 16 worlds, and I only have 6 in the list with /save world. One point though, it doesn't take nearly as long to do this /save (ssaving all 16 worlds) as it does /save-all. Is your routine just more efficient than the default minecraft save, or is it not saving things it doesn't need to?

Also, a request, can we get a world group list? Say, /save addgroup group1 world1,world2,world3 and /save addgroup group2 world4,world5,world6.

Then I can just /save group1 and it would save those worlds. Hopefully you see where I'm going with this.

Thanks for the great plugin

 

Absolutely...I think that would be very helpful. Maybe what also I should do is add inter-world save times or create different threads / timers for each world?

 

That would be very helpful. About the saving all worlds and ignoring the lists?

Btw, I'm not using your timers though, I just incorporated the /save into my scripts, so that I control it. This is primarily so that I issue saves before I do a backup, cartographer, restarts, etc.

 

I got not indeed how's that worked... They are where the savings? If by a bad manipulation I loses the world of my server, how I may load the savings of front the accident?

 

So, does server not saving data every time, only when Autosave call it? I mean is this like all time save-off and save-all every 300s?

 

This automates typing "save-all" into the console every n seconds where n is the interval you choose. There are a few other improvements like saving player data files as well.

 

Up
