Nice Plugin, this is what i need for my server. I will test it soon. Can you change the command to /ihelp, that would be very nice, cause i use an other PlugIn named Smarter Help.

Big thx for this plugin. It's exactly /help command and not include any shit.

 

Just what i needed a good looking /help command
Can you also set different /help for different groups (@permissions/groupmaker/etc)?
So that an admin has a longer list than a builder.
Can you also make different pages for the /help command, because I've got a big amount of mods that all need to be in the /help.
thanks already for the plugin

 

There is more to come. But i will change the File type.
Because it's hard to sort this kind of file used in it at this moment.
When it's done, i will update and bring more lines.
Maybe also something with exclusive lines for admins.

There will be also a /reloadhelp command

 

Hey, I love your plugin it helped clean the cluster **** of the regular /help but there's one thing I need help with... Is there any way to make more than 1 page of help? I have the help modified to line 30, but it only shows the first 9 lines, is there any way to fix this? thanks ^^

 

YOu can't modify to more than 9 lines.
Because i have to change the code.
There is only space for 9 line at the moment.
If i set it above, the lines will be unsorted and so i will change the file type to fix this.
When I've done that, i will release v1.1

#Version 1.1 released - but still the same file type. Check out changelog

 

Aw well that's too bad D:
Guess I'll just wait for it to update again ^^ looking forward to it !

 

@Mighty:
If you press 't' you can only show up to 20 lines at once in the complete list.
So there will be 20 lines to edit in the next update.

 

That sounds awesome ^^
Just a suggestion, but do you think you could have pages of help?
like e.g. /Help1, /Help2, etc...
so you could keep with the 9 items per page, and have several pages so it doesn't flood

 

I think that is possible to do.
I think i will do something like this:

/help <helppage> and the helppage is by default 1, so you musn't type /help 1.
But for the other pages, you will have to type /help 2... 3...

 

That would be awesome ^^
Hope its not too hard to do that tho
Well good luck with that looking forward to the update !

 

Thank you!
But before I am going to use this I really would like to have:
- multi page support (ie /help 1, help 2 etc.)

Optional extra:
Being able to change the file ingame, like /helptext [page] [line] [text].
This would of course require some sort of permission support, but simple OP-only will suffice.
This would be a very big plus since my server is hosted 8000 km. away and having to log-in, download, edit, upload and reload is really holding me to quickly edit/correct my current help file.

 

@OrtwinS:
I set it onto my ToDo List.

BTW: Almost Done. I changed it to a yml file. But the multiple pages are making some trouble to me...
Only the first page is working properly.
When i type something else, i get an Error.
I am still trying to fix this. Then i am going to release the next version.

Nice !!!
Just upgraded to 1.2 and loving it ^^
Keep up the good work

 

Confused about the colorcodes..
Take blue for example. "&!B" = Blue is what is said in readme. In the example it seems like you would be using "B&!"? Neither works ingame. "&!B" throws out an error about some anchor stuff, and "B&!" does not work.

Code:

18:40:55 [SEVERE] while scanning an anchor; expected alphabetic or numeric character, but
found but found ! loading SimpleHelp v1.2 (Is it up to date?)
while scanning an anchor
 in "<reader>", line 6, column 16:
            line1: &!B/chlist 2&!W = Show available ...
                   ^
expected alphabetic or numeric character, but found but found !

Gonna test this.
Be patient please

Oh sorry. I found the problem :S I made a wrong Example in the File
You have to set ' before a sentence and one ' after a sentence. Otherwise you will get Errors...
I also removed sumething unnecessary from the code.
Please redownload

Will do, thanks

 

OK. First of all, I love your plugin, it's exactly what I was looking for. But now to the business why I am here... When I try to make more than 2 pages (standard in the config) it says "Unknown page". I've tried all pages from /help 3 to /help 9 but none of them seem to work. I really have no idea what to do so some help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,


Jebub

 

I know.
There is more to come, and also a variable page count...
But for now there are 2 Pages and to prevent from strange Errors, i made a Message that says "Unknown Page"

 

Ah, that explains alot. I'll be waiting for a new update then. Keep up the good work.

 

Can anyone link me the one that worked on #740?

 

You could take a peak at how the Essentials team did it, I use that now and its just one long file that gets cut up in several pages. (Looking to get rid of Essentials, that why I'm interested in this plugin).

 

@Master_Queel:
I think this works for Build 740...
There were no dramatic changes between #740 and #755 that effected this Plugin.

I will update to #766 soon and i think there will also be the ability to make more than 2 pages by hand.
I'm thinking of up to 10 or 20 sites... Do you think that will be enough?

#Realeased Version 1.3!
Check out the Changelog

//EDIT:
Feedback Please
Tell me whats bad and maybe good^^

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

 

Thank you for this plugin. I've searched for a simple help plugin and this is the best

 

does it show different permissions groups different commands?

 

Not yet.
I will add this in a future version.

 

Whenever i type help it says '[SERVER] Empty Page' what have i done wrong? plus do i need to delete the example?

HelpLines:
page1: '&!CType &!G/lwc &!Cto get command help for &!m Chest &!Cand &!mDoor Protection.'

 

You don't need to delete the example.

You have to write something like this:

page1:
line1: 'yourtext'

Thats how you do it Not directly in the line with page1

 

thanks

I tried it again and it still wont work :/ i put it as u said....
page1:
line1: '&!WThis is a &!WPOSSIBLE &!Wway to make a line!'
