[GEN/SEC/ECON/TP/ADMN] Essentials - A collection of useful commands

Hi, i love this great mod, but i'm having difficulty setting it up with the permissions plugin. Everything loads correctly, but currently everyone has access to all commands. I've tried doing things like '-essentials.god' under the permissions but that group seems to still have access to the command even after a server restart. I have the permissions pretty much stock (Groups are default, mod and, admin) and users is set up. Can someone point me to a tutorial for setting up the globalgroups.yaml with this mod or post their own? For the default group is it easier to just '-essentials.*' and then add permissions for specific commands they can access, or is it better to just negate (-) any commands i don't want them to use.

 

@essentialsteam
When you spawn a mob it says "amount nameofmobspawned' So example 1 creeperspawned. Missing a space?

 

Alright, I am having a horrible time setting up your plugin.

Since I cannot get people to stop spawning items with permissions because something is wrong with your plugin, I tried to blocklist every single item in the game. However, this does not work.

config.yml: http://pastebin.com/tpaEB0rD
server.log: http://pastebin.com/igwNxHs9

This is really pissing me off since I really need to use your plugin for essential things on my server, and no matter what I try I cannot get it to work. Please Please Please, help me with this.

 

it's a lot more then this plugin lol send me teamviewer info in a pm. I can help you. Also you need permissions before I can help you.

 

It shouldn't need TeamViewer. Plus, I have permissions, which is one of the reasons why this pisses me off because it should just be that simple. No Offense or anything really, but Im not really going to trust some random person off of the internet on my computer so that they can have full access to it along with every single computer on the network.

 

It's fine. Post your permissions please. It is not essentials fault. Just saying.

 

Actually, the permissions people said that this is a Essentials problem. I believe them, because this is the only thing that doesn't work correctly.

But, here you go.
groups.yml: http://pastebin.com/NCZgMHJV
users.yml: http://pastebin.com/eFpu7sWJ

 

Well make sure you use the newest version of essentials and permissions. But if you use 3.1.6 change your permissions to this.

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
        - essentials.help
        - essentials.signs.trade.create
        - essentials.signs.trade.use
        - essentials.signs.buy.use
        - essentials.signs.sell.use

        - bookworm.remove.own

    Moderator:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        - Default
        permissions:
        - bar.foo
    Admins:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
        - '*'

Here is my essentials config. Take it and edit it.

You do not have to mess with the item spawn blacklist.

 

Tried out your permissions file for groups.yml and doesn't work. Gives same results as last time.

2.3.7 Essentials and 3.1.6 Permissions

Also, this is also affecting everything that Essentials has Permission Nodes for.

Players can give themselves more money, change time of day, things like that.

 

This is a problem I've never encountered and I've been a server owner for more then a year. I heard that this stuff happens to people. So I guess you'll have to wait for someone else to help you.

 

I'm a bit OCD when it comes to lists. Would someone know why my groups.yml in GroupManager keep getting moved around in the file when I have a specific order I put them in? Such as:
I saved:
Group 1
Group A
Group 2
Group B

When I open the file later is shows up as:
Group B
Group 1
Group 2
Group A

I only have access to the file so I know no one else is doing this.

 

Alright. Thanks for your attempt at help. To be honest, you were more helpful then the people who actually made the plugin. Ill try again tommorow, this has made me very tired. Thanks for you attempted help though RugRats.

@Pythros, if you are talking about files in a folder, they move around because the one that was last accessed by the program is usually on the top. You can on certain operating systems configure this to have it by alphabetical order.

 

No problem!

 

No, I'm talking about the groups within GroupManager's group.yml file.

Nothing is broken, just annoying.

 

@Chasingu: Disable permission-based-item-spawn
@Pythros: that is because GM saves the file.

 

Take all the herps and derps and foobars out of it, and delete Moderator group if you aren't even using it (there are no extra permissions in it.) Not sure if the deleting Moderators will help, but it helps narrow it down.
KEEP the single quotes, Permissions needs them.

this:

Code:

        permissions:
           - 'essentials.help'
            - 'essentials.signs.trade.create'
            - 'essentials.signs.trade.use'
            - 'essentials.signs.buy.use'

the lines after 'essentials.help' need to be evenly lined up with it, they are indented over a space or two just by looking.

Haven't run it through myself, but you seem to know what you are doing, so use this to check it for other errors (tabs, spaces for indents not being multiples of 4, not lining up correctly, etc.)

 

Parser can't find any errors with it @Infectedd
Try opening the file again, and saving it with UTF-8 encoding?

 

@Infectedd Your disabled-commands are wrong, don't use the / and write it as list.

 

If you are running PEX instead of Permissions 2.x-3.x then it's the plugin. PermissionsEX doesn't know or care what order the items were originally in. Each time you make a change to any permission in game, the plugin will shuffle things around randomly. If you are running Permissions 2.x-3.x then I can't help you because my files are never changed without me getting into them and making the changes by hand. Then again, I haven't used any of the in-game commands since I switched to Permissions 3+, I use PermissionPlus to do in game changes and make all the other changes by hand outside of the game and then just do a permissions -reload all.

 

So you are saying as we say at my work, working by design?
That's annoying.

 

How can i create multiworld with essentials? I need different groups, how can i make it?:O Anyone can help me? Im trying many multiworld plugin. ( Nothing work with essentials groupmanagger, )

 

Is there a way to disable the /sell command or the whole economy completely? I can add -essentials.sell but I use a shop program called bettershop. And it has a /sell command. When I use -essentials.sell it doesn't allow my /sell in bettershop.

 

They are lined up exactly. Deleted the moderator group and herp.derp things.

Still nothing. Also, this wouldn't stop time/day and others.

If this helps at all:

I want people to be able to make trade signs.
I want people to be able to buy from buy signs and sell from sell signs.
I want people to be able to see their balance.
I want people to be able to send mail.
I want people to be able to use the back command and use it on death.
I want people to be able to pay other players.
I want people to be able to teleport accept and approve or deny requests.
I want people to be able to warp to and set home.
I want people to be able to see available warps and use them.
I want people to be able to use the /me, mail send, mail read, /nick, and /help commands.
I do not want people spawning items.
I do not want people giving themselves money.
I do not want people changing the time of day.
I do not want people making their own warps.
I do not want people changing other people's names.

Everything I specified above is in the permissions file with the nodes.

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

 

I'm not missing something of how you can order the groups when doing /list am I?
Also, why doesn't it show the colors of users when doing /list. I know at one point it did.

 

SoS!!It doesn't work for me..i have 935 bukkit version and 2.3 essentials..and everything says that work..but actually doesn't..
E.g God Or Spawn e.t.c

 

Anyone having a problem with the /realname command not doing anything? Swear it was working week or so ago but not response from it now.

Oh and the command does come back and give you its command arguments when you type it in by itself.

Just never displays the realname when I use the command.

 

Totally same here? What on earth, i deleted the config and it STILL gives the same error on startup. Also on /spawn

Code:

20:19:01 [WARNING] Failed to teleport new player
java.lang.NullPointerException

Also /weather gives a "Unknown command"
Also item names don't work with /i

 

All of your are doing something wrong. I'll tell you that right now. Essentials 2.7 works perfectly fine on 935 my server. No problems. Please wait for further assistance as I cannot help you because I've never had this problem.

 

Im pretty sure we all know we are doing something wrong. That is pretty obvious. However, what isn't helpful is you bragging about how it works all fine and dandy on your server, while others are struggling getting it to install. If you really have nothing to help us with, why even post that? Also, it is pretty hard to wait for assistance when the person who knows everything about the plugin, is never on at the same time I am.
