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!

Does it do anything that i only have bukkit permissions and the file permissions.yml is empty?

 

No. It just can't find a class that should be present in bukkit, so I still think it's an outdated CB version.

 

I am only getting one error .
[LogBlock Consumer] Queue overloaded.
and I checked the faq on you github , and it still happens .
I am using version 1.4

 

If local MySQL server, further increase time per run, else increase forceToProcess.

 

LogBlock is ignoring changes that I make to the config file under the "loggedWorlds" section. It keeps trying to log "world" and "world_nether" instead.

If I change "world" to something else, like "myworld", LogBlock will install tables such as lb-world instead of lb-myworld. And at the bottom of the file, it will add ANOTHER "loggedWorlds:" section, with "world" and "world_nether" in it.

Why on earth does it keep doing this? I've reinstalled it, I've double and triple checked the config, I've used a parser to make sure the YAML is correct. It just keeps ignoring my world names. And this is probably why whenever I use an /lb command, I get error, check server log.

Help, please!

 

Alright I tried that , seems to work . Thank youuuu
I switched back to your plugin after trying out hawkeye

 

@DiddiZ
How do I use the new autoclearlog feature? I miss it automatically deleting logs older than 14 days...

 

That means that you do have a error in the config, otherwise it would use existing loggedWorlds instead of creating a new one.
Sure, the parser says your config is valid, bacause it is a valid YAML file (LB can read and write it), but the indention may still be messed up.
I recommend to rename you config, restart the server and apply the changes again.

No problem
Did you see the changes in the clearlog section?
Enable autoclearlog and set auto to something like:
world "world" before 14d

You can use every params that also work in console, like player names, certain blocks, etc.

 

I've never been able to UNDO a rollback. Could you give a complete example using my name?

 

/lb rb player Sayshal since 1d

/lb redo player Sayshal since 1d
or
/lb redo last

 

Life. Saver. Any word on Guardian?

 

It's coming slow, but when it comes it'll be awesome.

I'll keep adding new Guardian features to LB as long as it's simple enough, like the custom tool names.

 

Oooh I had a question about that..
Permissions file: http://pastebin.com/N8YHdDnu
None of my Mods/Admins/Co-Owners/Owners can use /lb tool or /lb toolblock
...

 

Update to v1.41 and give them logblock.spawnTools permission, should work then.
Wait, could also be a missing permissions bridge. If LB says at server start something like "permissions not found" you are missing the bridge.

 

I reaally want to avoid another plugin.. This was work prior to 1.40

2011-11-15 01:03:05 [INFO] [LogBlock] Permissions plugin found.

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

 

Then it has to be the spawnTools permission, no other things changed

 

But, I know what you're saying.. If you check that file under mods is..

Code:

  - logblock.lookup
  - logblock.me
  - logblock.rollback
  - logblock.spawnTools
  - logblock.tools.tool
  - logblock.tools.toolblock
  - logblock.tp

 

That should work ...
Using 1.40 or 1.41?
What's the exact message?

 

I get the error:

Code:

[SEVERE] [LogBlock] Error while loading: while parsing a block mapping; expected <block end>, but found BlockMappingStart

 

Syntax error in config.

Now i got to know that the server is using multicraft

I think this is the problem. Was the missing class in build 1185?

 

Outdated CB version, as I said

Config management totally changed since then. Either update CB to 1337, or downgrade LB to v1.30.

 

@DiddiZ : Well, shit. Setting version to 1.30 didn't work. Here's what comes up on startup :

Code:

After this it reverts the version back to 1.40

 

Yeah but the problem is that the bukkit is allready updated to 1337 It must be multicraft. TY for your help!

 

But the columns should be present now, so it can't complain about missing columns anymore.

 

I reported a problem. I was told that the problem was on my end. I spent hours trying to fix whatever mistake I supposedly made. Finally, I just went ahead and debugged the LogBlock code.

The problem is not with my YAML, the problem is that you forgot to load the edited config.yml in the data folder into memory.

Code:

org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration fileconfiguration = logblock.getConfig();

At no point do you load the actual contents of the edited config.yml in the data folder into memory. Bukkit suggests doing this by using reloadConfig() if you're going to assign getConfig() instead of just using plugin.getConfig().whatever.

So when the dowhiletrue loop at line Config.class 124 runs for the first time, fileconfiguration is empty. Because you haven't loaded anything into memory, nor have you set any defaults by that point. So everything evaluates incorrectly on the first loop through.

That is why my config which looks like this:

Code:

loggedWorlds:
- myworld1
- myworld1_nether
(...fast forward)
        defaultEnabled: true
        mode: LOOKUP
        permissionDefault: OP

ends up being changed into THIS:

Code:

loggedWorlds:
- myworld1
- myworld1_nether
(...fast forward)
        defaultEnabled: true
        mode: LOOKUP
        permissionDefault: OP
loggedWorlds:
- world
- world_nether
missingKey: 'missingvalue'
missingKey2: 'missingvalue2'

And of course, having a second "loggedWorlds" statement at the bottom is going to override my settings at the top.

The easiest fix for this is to allow Config.class to generate a config.yml file (ignoring all the mysql errors when LogBlock attempts to log in using the settings generated in your hashmap.) It's just a big old mess in there, no offense.

And dude, next time, just be forthright and say that you don't don't know or care to find the bug in your code. I foolishly thought that when you told me the mistake was on my end, you'd actually checked to make sure it wasn't your error first. Silly me.

 

It does.

 

As a follow up, 1.41 doesn't add loggedWorlds to the bottom any more.

Now it simply overwrites whatever changes are made on file:

Code:

Here is the config.yml file from LogBlock.zip, after I've made edits:

loggedWorlds:
- myWorld
- myWorld_nether
mysql:
  port: 3306
  host: localhost
  password: *******
  user: paganmist
  database: minecraft

Code:

Here is the config.yml after I start the server, and Config.class overwrites my changes:

loggedWorlds:
- world
- world_nether
mysql:
  port: 3306
  host: localhost
  password: *******
  user: paganmist
  database: minecraft

The easiest fix for this remains to ignore the config.yml inside of the LogBlock folder in the .zip file (when was that file last generated, anyhow?), and allow LogBlock to run once so it can generate a file. There will be errors, since LogBlock attempts to connect to mysql the very first time it run, whether or not config.yml existed or had to be generated.

Do not alter the file structure by moving sections around. Simply make your edits to the values, and then start your server up again. LogBlock will create the correct tables ("lb-yourworldname") and the correct world config files ("yourworldname.yml") if you do this. This just might solve some other problems as well.
