Development Assistance Fanciful 1.8?

Hello there!

I wanna ask you guys how to use fanciful 1.8.. (http://bukkit.org/threads/lib-fanciful-pleasant-chat-message-formatting.195148/)

I was using it since 1.7 but now its so odd. Can't understand how to use it at all.

 

@Peter25715 You can always just write the json and send the packet yourself.

 

I have tried this.. Doesn't work.

Code:

package me.PeterSa.Hub;

import mkremins.fanciful.FancyMessage;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class HubInfo extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
   
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdf = getDescription();
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("[FlameHubInfo] has been enabled successfully by: " + pdf.getAuthors() + ", v" + pdf.getVersion());
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("[FlameHubInfo] " + pdf.getDescription());
    }
   
   
   
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
       
        String bending = new FancyMessage("§eClick me to see information about §bbending!")
        .tooltip("§bBending.. :"
                , "§eBending AKA (ProjectKorra)."
                , "§eIt is about manipulating 1 of the four elements."
                , "§eThe four elements are :"
                , "§fAir§e, §2Earth§e, §6Fire §eand §bWater§e."
                , "§1------------------------------------------------"
                , "Water is for offensive and defensive uses."
                , "Earth requires a steady position."
                , "Fire is for the aggressive ones."
                , "Air is for the passive and peaceful people"
                , "§1------------------------------------------------")
                .toJSONString();
       
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bendinginfo")) {
            sender.sendMessage(bending);
        }
        return true;
    }

}

 

I just switched to 0.3.1-SNAPSHOT and it seems to work fine in 1.8 without any code changes on my part.

 

Do you have to put the Maven thing?

 

I use Maven because it's easy for me. If you don't use Maven, I think all you have to do is download that version and add it to your build path, in place of the one you're using now.

 

Can't find 0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.. Could you please tell me where to get it?

 

Not needing to know where to go to download libs is why I use Maven

You could just look in the Maven repo yourself, I suppose- it's just a website and they are generally browsable.

Code:

    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
       
        new FancyMessage("Click me to see information about ")
        .color(ChatColor.YELLOW)
        .then("Bending")
        .style(ChatColor.UNDERLINE)
        .color(ChatColor.AQUA)
        .link("http://projectkorra.com/forum/")
           .tooltip("§bBending.. :"
                , "§eBending AKA (ProjectKorra)."
                , "§eIt is about manipulating 1 of the four elements."
                , "§eThe four elements are :"
                , "§fAir§e, §2Earth§e, §6Fire §eand §bWater§e."
                , "§1------------------------------------------------"
                , "Water is for offensive and defensive uses."
                , "Earth requires a steady position."
                , "Fire is for the aggressive ones."
                , "Air is for the passive and peaceful people"
                , "§1------------------------------------------------")
        .send(e.getPlayer());
    }

I've got the jar file and made this testing code.
Anything wrong? :\

I believe that will work (haven't tested it, haven't tested my code below), but it would probably be good to use JSON colors:

Code:

    private FancyMessage colorTxt(char colorCode, string msg){
          return new FancyMessage(msg).color(ChatColor.getByChar(colorCode));
    }

    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
     
        new FancyMessage("Click me to see information about ")
        .color(ChatColor.YELLOW)
        .then("Bending")
        .style(ChatColor.UNDERLINE)
        .color(ChatColor.AQUA)
        .link("http://projectkorra.com/forum/")
           .formattedTooltip(colorTxt('b', "Bending.. :")
                , colorTxt('e', "Bending AKA (ProjectKorra).")
                , colorTxt('e', "It is about manipulating 1 of the four elements.")
                , colorTxt('e', "The four elements are :")
                , colorTxt('f', "Air").then(", ").color(ChatColor.YELLOW).then("Earth").color(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN).then(", ").color(ChatColor.YELLOW).then("Fire").color(ChatColor.GOLD).then(" and ").color(ChatColor.YELLOW).then("Water").color(ChatColor.AQUA).then(".").color(ChatColor.YELLOW)
                , colorTxt('1', "------------------------------------------------")
                , new FancyMessage("Water is for offensive and defensive uses.")
                , new FancyMessage("Earth requires a steady position.")
                , new FancyMessage("Fire is for the aggressive ones.")
                , new FancyMessage("Air is for the passive and peaceful people")
                , colorTxt('1', "------------------------------------------------"))
        .send(e.getPlayer());
    }

I'm thinking about writing a PR for this kind of thing, parsing a FancyMessage from a formatted string, which would effectively let you do something like FancyMessage.fromString("§bBending").
