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​

 

It saves your world data overwriting your previous world, It automaticly loads each time you run your server.

 

With Bukkit 733 and AutoSave 1.2.6 i get this error:

@BStramke Bukkit 377? Something is wrong there. We are on Craftbukkit RB733. Bukkit is an API, not the mod, and it's on nearly 700 as well.

 

Hmmm, yea just like @leetgamer said, something is wrong. Could you post your entire log from startup to stack trace? Also the current version of AutoSave can be used on EARLIEST of Build 493 (maybe it was 495) when the necessary commit was added. Now, none of these builds that I'm even pointing out are even available from the Bukkit team anymore!

 

Fixed the typo, its 733

377 was the typo of 733. Here the complete loadup:

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

 

config.properties keeps resetting to its default after a reload :/

 

Bukkit version #733 is currently the latest recommended version that supports 1.5_01! Please update your plugin to support this version asap with the time you need.

 

This plugin doesn't work with 733? =(
Omg, update please =/

 

The plugin works perfectly. Did either of you test it?

Can you replicate this error? I can't seem to. If you could enable my plugins debugging (set var.debug to true in the config file) and then provide the log I would appreciate it. It doesn't look like my plugin is causing it, but its hard to say without a debugging log file.

Released AutoSave v1.2.7, please see the release notes above! Note, this update is only a cosmetic update.

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

 

It does get errors about a unknown version of bukkit, but nothing mandatory to update.

 

Yea, I implemented a warning message just so it would be easier to notice in those who post logs Seems to have worked well enough!

 

Cant replicate it with the new Version 1.2.7 and Bukkit 739 (newest recommended build). maybe it was a bukkit issue?

 

Released AutoSave v1.2.8, please see the release notes above! Note, this update is only a cosmetic update.

 

I'm loving this plugin so far; it works cleaner and more efficiently than Backup did. I'm wondering though, would you be able to make an option to have the plugin save every time the last person on the server logs off? Sometimes there's only one person online playing and if they log off before the set interval (1 hour on my server), the save doesn't happen.

 

Released AutoSave v1.3.0, please see the release notes above! Note, this update is only a cosmetic update.

Sounded like a good idea, and it was pretty simple to implement! Check out Version 1.3.0!

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

 

Where is it saving the maps??

 

Awesome, thanks! It's working great.

 

Is it only for me it laggs everytime it saves?

 

[754] + Autosave [1.3.0] working great!

 

Its very possible, that your worlds are large enough that your hardware can't keep up during the save process. It's common on larger systems, some people have resorted to using ram disks to fight the problem. Others only have it save every few hours, really you need to decide what the best option is for your server and how you want to move forward. Ram disks are nice, but also not always feasible.

Thanks for the info!

 

We have laggs on server when autosave finish save and it is happening randomly. But we try trim autosave plugin to nessesary code and switch schedule to Async and working great. No laggs and no frezzing when saving large world

 

Could you submit a pull request to my github repository? Would love to merge your fixes!

 

It is not actually fixes but we deleted everething what doesnt autosave need for save. It is working smooth with 64 player online but it is not pretty source code now http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25330256/AutoSave-Src.rar

 

can someone show me where its saving maps?

 

Per the first post describing the plugin and what it does:

With that being said, it saves using the exact same methods that the Minecraft server uses to save and thus saves in the exact same spot that the Minecraft server saves into. Backup plugins allow for saving instances of your maps outside of the default world folders according to their descriptions.

 

i am on CB735 +Autosave1.3.0

when i execute /save
it give an internal error occured.
any idea why?

 

I haven't tested on 735 (it isn't a recommended build) but I haven't seen any errors. Without the full detailed error log I honestly would only be guessing. Could you post that for me?

Thanks!

Running with CB #733, it seems to "crash" (stop working) at some point after 1-3 days... now i can't stop my server properly - after stop it is hanging at ->

Code:

20:01:28 [INFO] [AutoSave] Saving config file
20:01:28 [INFO] [AutoSave] Version 1.3.0 is disabled!

Any idea?

<edit>
After Server-Restart it saved 3 times (3600 second intervall), then again after 54 Minutes, and now it stopped again... I don't know whats happening. I use WorldGuard and WorldEdit, Essentials+Spawn, Minecart Mania, dynmap, CraftIRC, AutoRepair, Blueprint, HeroicDeath, Permissions, Stackable and Stats.
</edit>

 

Running 1.3.0 with Bukkit 740 (also having PerformanceTweaks installed), immediately after installing AutoSave I had this happen:

Code:

Which caused an entire chunk to get lost. This only happened once, after installing AutoSave and doing a reload. I then noticed when I would shutdown the server properly via the 'stop' command on the console, I get this almost every time:
