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!

Any idea how to fix this?

Seems to have spacing issues

 

Hey sorry about being vague here but I don't see what to do to make this right...
http://pastebin.com/eM68qAEG (permissions)
http://pastebin.com/ZNiJ9DXt (Hero Chat)
I have these changes implemented but they don't work and I can't tell what I've done wrong, On the MC server text appears as it usually would...
Could you maybe alter it to be right?
Thanks.

 

herochat breaks with permissions 2.5 and 2.5.1, had to rollback to 2.4

Please update to support Permissions 2.5.1 and CraftBukkit Dev Build 480.

 

Please update HeroChat so it works with the latest versions of Permissions, take your time though!

 

Sorry for the lack of responses. I've spent all night/morning working on a major update (huge refactoring of the internals to make maintenance easier). We're in testing now, so hopefully the update will be ready by tonight. Hang tight folks.

 

HELP ME!! I have permissions and when i use this it says " cannot pass command to Hero Chat"HELP!

 

How bout you help us, help you.

Provide something useful for us to help troubleshoot. I dont know, maybe your bukkit version, permissions version, hero chat version.. maybe look through the last 2 pages of the thread because this has been addressed multiple times already.

 

kk. Well i am using CB 440 and the newest Permissions the 2.5.1. I did what u asked and read. so i need to use 2.4 then? what CB should i use?

 

If you have an issue heres what to do:
Post with the below information,
Craftbukkit#
Herochat Version#
config.yml (pastie.org)
Pastie.org of the error in ((code)) tags
Anything other pertinent information or error messages.

 

I know making/updating plugins is hard, but permissions 2.5.1 support would be nice

 

GroupManager pretends to be Permissions for the sake of everyone not having to refactor all their plugins, and I find it's a bit more versitile. However, it currently only pretends to be Permissions 2.1. Looks like it's time to go harass the GM guys for an update

I sure hope the Bukkit guys get their persistance implementation in soon, so they can release an internal permissions system and we can be rid of the plugin wars.

I'm all for having a system which is minimal and basic features can be added and subtracted via plugins (like how Firefox was supposed to be), but without official endorsement of plugins it's getting to be a mess.

PS: Thanks for making this - it has almost everything I've ever really wanted from a chat plugin (the localized chat is HUGE for me)

 

440 is fine, im using 457. yes, until dth released an update, you need to use 2.4

Wasnt trying to sound like an ass but NO ONE looks and it makes support for these plugin devs a complete nightmare having to answer the same question 47 times.

Anyway, I was still getting the error after rolling back to 2.4 and had to remove my users.yml file and then all was good.

 

the shortcut aint working ?
/staff message
for example, like before.

It won't give any error output or so

did it maybe change?

 

I downloaded the jar only and it gave me version 4.0?
It's not logging chat anymore, and is it supposed to be 4.0 already?

 

HeroChat 4.00 released.

This release represents a major internal rewrite and restructuring. While you won't see many external changes, this will make future maintenance easier on myself. Please note that iChat support has been temporarily removed, but it should be back in within a few days. HeroChat will now support anything above Permissions 2.4, including the latest 2.5.1.

Our team has tried very hard to test this update to make sure it is stable for public release. However, because there are a lot of internal changes, chances are there is at least a bug or two that we didn't manage to come across.

Thanks for your patience and enjoy.

Change Log
Version 4.00

• Major internal rewrite
• Added error handling around Permissions to help identify issues with Permissions configs
• Temporarily removed iChat support
• Updated for new versions of Permissions
• The old /ch channels command is now /ch list
• The old /ch list command is now /ch who

--- merged: Mar 2, 2011 3:09 AM ---
I have added a section to the original post describing what you should do if you encounter an issue with HeroChat. Please do your best to exhaust any troubleshooting techniques available to you before posting here. If you have run out of ideas or things to try, then please follow these few points.

What to do if something goes wrong
While we try our hardest to rigorously test out each release before it's made public, there will still be occasional bugs that we miss. If you do run into an issue with this plugin, be sure to include all of the following so that we may address the issue quickly. Failure to include the listed information will likely result in your post being ignored or at the very least will significantly impair our ability to help you.

Include all of these in any requests for help or bug reports (unless they are absolutely trivial):

1. The version of HeroChat, Permissions and CraftBukkit you are running.
2. Detailed steps explaining how to reproduce the error
3. A link to pastebin or pastie with the FULL error found in your server log.
4. A link to pastebin or pastie with your Permissions and HeroChat configs.
5. A friendly attitude.

 

*stamp of approval for awesome*

 

Now that the upgrade is finished and stable, here is a brief summary of my to-do list.

• Reintegrate iChat
• Finish craftIRC integration
• Introduce passworded channels (possibly)
• Allow local channels with channel-specific distances

 

Hey man,

I think I found a bug. I am running Craft Bukkit Version # 447 / MC 1.3 with permissions 2.51 with Herochat v.4.0.0.

The error is when I attempt to change to the channel "Ops" I receive, "You cannot join this channel.". My permissions file is set to give the 'Admin" group full permissions and my herochat config is set to give the 'Admin' group access. I posted the config below, is this a bug?

Code:

globals:
    default-local-distance: 250
    default-channel: Global
    default-message-format: '{color.CHANNEL}[{nick}] {color.WHITE}{prefix}{player}{suffix}{color.CHANNEL}: '

FYI - I tried to send that donation, your Paypal button generates an error when I click on it. (IE8)

Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2 Sp1 X64
Java 6 Update 24

 

Looking into your issue. Also, I changed the link in my signature so it should work again.

 

Thanks Again.

I tested your config and it seems to work fine.



Double check your permissions config to make sure it's set up correctly (groups are case-sensitive). If you can't find the issue there, could you post it so I could give it a spin?

 

Using Build 438, permissions 2.5.1, Herochat 4.00 and I get this error when trying to create a new channel

Thanks for the bug report. Looks like I forgot to set a default color for channels.

Updated with a quick bug fix.

Change Log
Version 4.0.1

• Fixed a bug when creating channels without specifying a color
• Decided on a more logical version naming scheme

 

I am having some problems with text-wrapping. Dont know if its iChat or herochat, but
If i type a long sentance
it might be like ...
<text>in
vento
ry

And its very annoying

 

Hey, I have a suggestion. You should try and implent support with Help0.1 (or future versions). I think it'll make HeroChat more simple for noobs!
