do glowstonehats glow?

 

You Got that right

 

Glowstone Hats don't Glow. This is Client sided and can't be changed with a simple plugin.

 

Love it!

 

Glad to hear about it

By the way, I'm trying to work on the v0.6 but I have to study a bit the new Event system, here is what I made until now : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22338492/HeadBlocks/source/v0.6/src.zip

If anyone has some idea to unlock me

By the way, the next version won't support Permissions until I rebuild it with the new system...

 

What is the problem?
Donators rank players have permission node:
- headblocks.self

Yet still if they type /hb self *id* or *blockname* , they only get the message "how to" use the commands etc.
(/hb <s|self|o|other|undoself|us|undoother|uo> [playerName] [<<blockId|blockName>[:<data>]>])

 

The Permissions node system is made for the old Permissions plugin made by nijikokun not with the standard Permissions API.

 

BLOCKHAD IS THE BEST!

 

so, bpermissions -> you cant use this plugin. What an shit

 

It still works with Op statuses so it's usable technically.

 

ya i noticed this but cant this plugin be a bit "updated" ? seriously... who uses old permissions and wtf are these old permissions? like 2.7.4 etc?

id want to give permission for donators to use this...

 

PLEASE make an example how to use it like /hb snow ANDWHAT COMES HERE?

 

Trying to find some time updating it, but if anyone wish to work on my plugin, feel free the source code is right there ;P
And of course none uses old permissions that's why I talked about rebuilding the Permissions system (in a future update that I don't know when it'll be out since I give most of my developper's time to my job ^^).

The syntax is in the post description.
But if you need an example there is one at this answer #61
And still if you don't get enough examples here are some :

Code:

/hb self 20 (gives a glass hat)
/hb undoself (removes the previous given hat)
/hb other ThisPlayer 35:2 (gives to "ThisPlayer" a wool hat of color #2)
/hb undoother ThisPlayer (removes the previous given hat for "ThisPlayer")

 

i wish i could make plugins -.- id update it for ya :E but i dont know how to do anything :E

 

I am trying to do following commands:

/hb 20
/hb self 20

But none work i am using v.o5 and there is no folder in the plugins folder but i can still do /help HeadBlocks

PLEASE HELP AND I WILL DONATE

 

If you wish to learn, you can begin with my source code, you know what ?
Got Skype or anything we can talk privately if you wish.
I'd feel much more motivated if I had someone to do it with, so why not a private lesson ?

I need a little more pieces of information to help you out :
What CraftBukkit version are you running ?
What other plugins is your server running out ?
Can you try v0.5a ?

How to install :
(Copy the ".jar" Downloaded in the "plugins" folder of your CraftBukkit server)
Launch your CraftBukkit server, type in the console :

Code:

op YourName

(where YourName is the Pseudo of your character ingame)
Then connect with this character on your server and type :

Code:

/hb self 20

In the chat
Watch your head, if it's not a block of glass, tell me your CraftBukkit version, a list of the other plugins runned and the version of HeadBlocks you're running.

Edit :
Updated the whole presentation to be more visually clean and interactive.
Added the How to install and run commands section.

 

Sure, Semirotta < - is how u find me in SKYPE
Tonight might be a bad coz im off to work in 15 mins and i wont be back for 13½ - 14 hours a bit long day incoming.
Also i must warn you, my english / english understanding is NOT best possible

 

k added!
Im not really free this weekend but maybe one day in the next week if we find time to do it
Btw Im not from an english-speaking country also. I'm French ;P

 

Support for spout custom blocks?

 

That might be a good idea, retained

 

Can't wait!

 

Make it only uses what is in your hand. Because players are get free adminiums, diamond blocks and TNT.

 

Im planning to fix that issue in another way so that people can use whichever hat they wish but not recover it.

 

This way is bad

 

Allowing/blocking use of pre defined blocks? Not sure if you already have planned this in Later versions. If so, please ignore

Ie. in config you would have something like "allowedBlocks: 10,20,30"

or maybe in permissions

headblocks.allowed.wood

etc.

 

This is my way. Feel free to take the source and do it as you wish

Well before that, maybe we should put back a decent permissions system up to date.
And certainly if I manage to find some time for it I will probably implement that, that was just not said

 

Please fix this! IMO this is the most important thing to fix first, because right now the plugin only works for creative servers. If you try to use it on a survival server you're just giving people unlimited free items with this.

 

Could you make it possible to just PUT the block on your head via inventory?

Permissions bro.

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

 

What's the permission that allows regular users to put blocks on their head but not remove the spawned blocks and put them in their inventory? I don't see it in the OP.

 

If I set this permission for donators only on a hardcore server, would they be able to use the command and get their hat, and then could they take the hat (block) off and keep the item to either use or sell?
