[INACTIVE][MISC] SignColours v0.3 - for allowing coloured text on signs [672]

SignColours v0.3

This plugin allows all players on the server to add coloured text to signs. Simply use the # character followed by a hexidecimal digit (0-f) to give the rest of that line a colour.

Instructions

Colour codes are the same as chat message colours:

using a # in a sign in any other circumstances will keep the # symbol

As an example, adding the text to a sign:

#4###WARNING###
#6Land Mines
so be #Ecareful
(or #fdie#0)

results in:



(and as you can see it shows up quite well at night)

Permissions

To customise permissions, you can add any of the following to your permissions plugin config.yml (permissions subsection):

#Allow user to use the colour yellow (e):
- 'signColours.e'
#Allow user to use all colours:
- 'signColours.*'
#To avoid offending anyone's sensibilities, American spelling works too (here for allowing red):
- 'signColors.4'

Permission Notes:

• As many or as few colours can be added as desired
• If someone without permission uses a hash-code, the hash-code will remain there unchanged
• Anyone who can use any colour will automatically be allowed to use black too
• In permission definitions, the hex digits must be lower case (a,b,c rather than A,B,C). Signs are not case sensitive, however
• If the permissions plugin is not installed, colours are enabled for everyone

Feature Summary

• Allows players to easily add a variety of colours to their signs
• Compatible with the Permissions plugin

Thanks, my friend seemed to place the sign... change your thread title to v0.3? Also, that client mod worked quite fine.

 

Ah thanks. I'm glad you got it fixed.

 

By the way, here's the FontRenderer.java fix:
Line 161
Change: for(; s.charAt(i1) == '\247' && s.length() > i1 + 1; i1 += 2)
to: for(; s.charAt(i1) == '\247' && s.length() > i1 + 2; i1 += 2)
Tested and no crashes with iChat or SignColours
Maybe someone should report this bug to Notch...

 

I accidentally put #5 in a sign... and now whenever that specific sign comes into render range it seems to crash Minecraft for that person. How can I remove that sign safely?

 

Install this mod on your client: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~eh392/minecraft/SignColours/oz.tar.gz

Version 0.3 of the plugin doesn't have this problem.

 

@Edward Hand
You still didn't rename your title. That's why people don't know about these updates and fixes.

 

there we go

 

Thank you for the link, although I removed the sign with MCedit haha.

 

My map is massive, these signs are in a lot of places I cant find. any advice?

 

Are you saying you have corrupt signs everywhere? It's not like all coloured signs were corrupt in the previous versions - only in the very rare circumstance when someone put a colour marker without a message afterwards.

 

I mean there is at least 3 signs that cause crashes, colour marker without text.
Im running your client patch(ty) but cant find which signs are causing it.

and the v3 of the plugin doesnt seem to work either.

 

Ok. I've written a new mod that should be able to detect and tell you the location of corrupt signs. As soon as minecraft servers come back I'll test that it works and send you a link.

Could you be a little more specific?

 

sure, I use any colour code and it just stays as the colour code. i type "#4WARNING:" and it will stay the same. i do notice it add spaces on to lines though, obviously thats the fix.

 

If you just moved from v0.1 to v0.3 and have the permissions plugin enabled then you will need to add the relevant permissions as specified in the first post. (I'm very much hoping that's what your problem is)

That's the client mod working its magic

Speaking of which:
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~eh392/minecraft/SignColours/oz.tar.gz
This is the new version. Its not quite what I wanted to make but I ran into some trouble recompiling it so had to make a quick substitute. If you can get close enough to the sign (within the distance that would normally crash people) then it will log the coordinates to a text file called corruptions_log.txt, which will be placed in the same folder as where minecraft.exe is.

Best of luck!

 

thank you for your help Edward, I guess it was my mistake. I wasn't aware that bukkit is updated so often.

 

No problem! Bukkit gets updated every few days actually.
Make sure you install the the latest version of the SignColours plugin wont you. It has some quite important bug fixes.

 

unfortunately I upgraded from v2 and the permissions worked previously.
I also have -"*" access.

 

Could you try updating your bukkit and craftbukkit to the very latest version? There was an update a few days ago that made all developers have to change their plugin structure and I think the new structure might not work right with older bukkit versions.

 

aww okay. Last time I updated it broke my 25 plugins.
Its just having to find/update these will take all day, and everyone compiles to different versions.

 

Hi Edward Hand,

Thanks for your mod, I like it.

I use :
2011-02-23 23:32:36 [INFO] This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit
-0.0.0-450-gd3c1ba4-b432jnks (MC: 1.3)

And SignColours works, I just get this warn.

2011-02-23 23:32:38 [WARNING] Using the stupidly long constructor org.bukkit.dis
charge.signColours.SignColours(PluginLoader, Server, PluginDescriptionFile, File
, File, ClassLoader) is no longer recommended. Go nag the plugin author of SignC
olours to remove it! (Nothing is broken, we just like to keep code clean.)

 

Thanks for nagging me ^_^
Re-downloading version 0.3 should fix it.

 

Yes it's good, thanks

 

Can anyone confirm if this is working with CraftBukkit 432jnks? I'd test it myself but updating everything took much longer than anticipated and I don't want to disrupt the players anymore D: (6 hour downtime due to database migrations ): ).

 

I can. It's unlikely to ever stop working. It's such a simple plugin.

 

sweet, this is an awesome plugin

 

Everything seems to work fine until I go to break the sign. It keeps coming back, as if it's protected. There is no error in the console. We're running CraftBukkit build 432jnks. It seems to make ALL signs unbreakable without using a plugin feature such as WorldEdit's SuperPickaxe.

 

Hi. I am using 432 also and I'm not getting this. The plugin doesn't do anything when a sign is destroyed - only when it is created. Nobody else has complained of this issue with the latest version, so I'm assuming its specific to you. Are you sure it isn't another plugin?

 

I suppose so. 6:30am without any sleep probably isn't the best time to be pestering plugin authors with this stuff xD My apologies.

 

im gotting following error my bukkit ver is 425

The problem is occurring in the CommandSigns plugin. Can you tell me what text is on the sign being right clicked on?
