I think that would be nice as well. Though I'm guessing that it would have to be client sided if you wanted to block all chat from the person? like some irc clients ignore functions are..

 

What plugin are you using to allow players to message each other? I might make this plugin disable a user-configurable list of commands...

 

CommandBook, the 'tell' function, via an alias; '/w'.

 

That's be awesome! It will be more difficult because the chat can't be simply blocked at startup; it has to go through to everyone else but then stopped on the way to the user who wants to ignore that bothersome chatter. Will take some more learning to see how easily that can be done...

MadMan and anyone else, I modified this plugin slightly:

1. now works without either Permissions or FakePermissions; if not found, it just checks if the user is an Operator. Only Operators can silence anyone, but anyone can query current state. Also Operators can chat even when everyone else is silenced. [Credit to captainawesome7 for similar run-time check for Permissions in his SimpleAdmin plugin.]
2. if a user doesn't have permission for a command, it fails silently rather than spouting proper command usage.
3. added a command "ignore" that allows each player to individually ignore specific players. Same options as basic silence command.

It's been tested on plewwatson's survivalrealm.tk server; he has found Permissions too complicated. For now I've posted it here, but would be happy if MadMan integrated my changes into his baseline.

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

 

I'd be happy to.

This plugin hasn't been updated in a week or two as I've been busy with both life and getting the MultiHome plugin finished. There's a bunch of stuff I'm planning to do with this plugin (all players can ignore another player), I'll add your mod to the list

Some of my developmental practices have changed since I last worked on Silence, stopping the spouting of correct usage information being among them.

 

This doesnot appear to work with herochat...

 

does this let you mute offline players?

 

No, sorry.

I'm not sure how to fix that. I'm thinking of giving a list of command to disable for that user.

Anyway, nearly done with everything that's been keeping me busy, I'll be back on the scene soon.

 

Please Update

 

Mark, updated the plugin with a new "ignore" command. Hope you make use of it in the baseline. My version now 0.6.1.4, available here.

Also now allows the server console user to silence or ignore players.

 

I love how your developments are going. It's a bit of a pain having to decompile your version when I try to copy the features across. If you want, fork my GitHub repository and send a Push request, I'll add you as a developer. You're definitely skilled with Java, probably moreso than I. EDIT: Definitely moreso than I

I've got a few minutes right now, I'll add the updates you've worked on to the main branch.

 

ok, will do that

 

Finally managed to merge your changes into Silence. You're now a co-developer. Took a while, as I had reorganized much of the plugin. I also rewrote a couple of parts either to work better or to play nice with other plugins. Check out my GitHub for the new source and tell me if it's acceptable.

 

Please update to 818. Thank you.

 

818 only just came out a day ago, have more patience :/

 

Would love to have an 818-compatible build!

 

I don't have time to work on Bukkit plugins during the week anymore due to starting a new job, but I do get time on the weekends. I've been busy reorganizing my house and setting up my networking, but I'm working on this now. All my plugins have been updated (yet to upload them, though). I have a little more work on Silence to do then I'll upload everything in one go. all will be #860 compatible.

 

Was gonna post some errors I've been getting, but then I realized it's not updated.
Mostly just an error in console when I use /help and silence won't put the commands in, but I'm sure an update would fix that.

 

ETA on the update?

 

Right now

EDIT: OOPS, I had a brain-dumb. Download the latest version, guys. Sorry to the 14 people who downloaded already, please redownload.

Basically, I had a brain-dumb and made the plugin allow people to talk while silenced, and silence players who were allowed to talk. Fixed now.

 

OMG! Exactly what i need !
I love this Plugin <3

 

wow finally thanx man......

 

May I add a suggestion? This plugin really needs a per-player-setting instead of only global muting!

 

It does. There is an ignore feature, I just forgot to add the commands to the post. Will do that tonight. It's the same format as the /silence command, but it's /ignore.

 

Fantastic, and whats the permission node for /ignore??

 

silence.ignore

 

Please add HeroChat support

 

I've looked into it, and it will be impossible. As Silence and HeroChat both distribute the chat text themselves, they are mutually exclusive. The ignore feature of Silence requres the plugin to manually distribute chat messages to users. HeroChat's channel feature requires it to do the same. Thus, these plugins are mutually exclusive and cannot ever work side by side. Sorry.

 

Tried /ignore playername and got this (CB953):

 

does this default to op if you don't have permissions?
