Inactive [ADMN/CHAT] WatchPM v0.3 - Be a stalker and watch what users say in PMs [1060]

WatchPM - Be a stalker and watch what users say in PMs
Version: v0.3

WatchPM watches commands and shows what messages are sent by players to OPs, or to players with the proper permission.

On first run WatchPM will create a file named 'config' in the 'WatchPM' folder. The default contents are as follows:

Code:

ReplyCommands=reply,r
MessageCommands=msg,tell,pm

In this file you may add commands to be watched as comma separated values. Note, a valid MessageCommand must be used in the form of /<command> <target> <message...>
A valid ReplyCommand must be used in the form of /<command> <message...>

Any other commands added to this file that do not follow this form are untested, and considered unsupported.

WatchPM supports and is tested with PermissionsEx. WatchPM also supports default Bukkit Permissions! And will support any permissions plugin that does the same. WatchPM also tentatively supports Permissions 2.7.4 and 3.1.x, but is not tested against these.

WatchPM will record all pm's to the log file "pm.log" in the WatchPM folder. To disable logging, simply create a file with the name "no.log" in the WatchPM folder.

Features:

• Lets admins watch user PMs
• Supports PermissionsEx, Permission 2/3, Bukkit Permissions, and defaults to OP
• Logs pm's to a log file

Permissions:

Nodes (open) Nodes (close)

• watchpm.* - Implies watchpm.stalker

No, does it not work for you?

 

I have a busy server so I always ask before I try. Please update [1060] to [1337] so people are more open to downloading.

 

Doesn't work..

The player you see on the screen (me) has the '*' node AND the watchpm.* node for safe measures.. Doesnt work

 

What permissions plugin do you use, and what version of it?

 

bPermissions, latest dev.bukkit.org version.
It seems to work *sometimes*

 

Currently using commandbook to handle /msg /tell and /r with PEX and it isn't working. I think it might be command book, in the console the messages are retrieved

"2011-11-16 21:25:04 [INFO] Player1 -> Player2: test
2011-11-16 21:25:04 [INFO] [CommandBook]Player1 told Player2: test"

So it looks like command book is intercepting and removing the /msg or /r before watchPM can see it.

Even more strange all the messages show up in the log. So I may be way off... :/

Also, would it be simple enough to add a toggle feature. ie /watchpm to toggle both off and on of the messages?

Thanks.

 

I'll see about adding in a toggle for it, also I'll see about redoing how permissions are handled, as this plugin was originally written pre-superperms.

 

How's it coming? Did you have a chance to look at the issues or updating with the other features?

Please update this for the new R5 (#1953 is what I used to generate these errors)
WatchPM - http://pastebin.com/Q9i8JzCn

 

Will do later today.

You didn't have to make a thread asking for other people to recreate it though :I

 

Oh derp I totally forgot I posted here before I posted there.

Before you rage at what I'm about to say: I'm not rushing, just asking.
Do you have an R5/R6/1.2 build available so I can check it off my checklist?

If you don't, just say no and ignore me!

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

Should be just fine, at least until I can update my link in the post and or move it over to a bukkitdev page

Thank you soo much for this update
It works great yet and the need was surprisingly appearing and we didn't want Essentials. Thank you !

 

I've been wondering about the legal implications of this plugin. I mean, with the changing environment of cyber-law and privacy protection. What I'm really curious about is how people are going about it.. Are you telling everyone that you're using the plugin, and letting them know that their "private messages" aren't exactly private? or do you just not tell anyone and hope for the best?

'Cause I like the Idea, but I don't really want to get sued for violating people's privacy.

 

doesent seem to work with tekkit? or am i doing it wrong? xD
