Load plugins in order

I would like to load my plugins in order, when i load uQuest and iConomy together, uQuest loads first, and disables iConomy. I am running this under Ubuntu 11.04. When i run the exact same server under Windows 7, iConomy loads first, consequently causing the server to work properly. How do i fix this?

 

Go back to windows???

 

no, i like ubuntu, and the server runs faster and cooler on it. any other suggestions?

 

I feel this may be a ubuntu issue, perhaps its loading then in reverse alphabetical order??

 

Heh, it loads on firs on windows because windows stores it on disk sorted.
AFAIK there is no way to guarantee the order from bukkit, BUT you can make it so that the file is listed first.
try removing all plugins except for iCOnomy (is that which you want first?)
then copy some garbage files there (will be removed later)
then comy plugins depending on iConomy
remove the garbage
test with "ls -u" to check the order

Now I THINK this should work, so give it a shot

 

Rename iconomy jar to a_iConomy and uQuest jat to b_uQuest. If it does not work, b_iConomy and a_uQuest.

It worked for me when My groupmanager was loading after my xauth.

 

how can that help when bukkit does not load alphabetically on linux?

 

I have no idea.... But it worked for me. Are you sure it does change nothing? Maybe it fixed when I was deleting and pasting the plugin many times on the folder.

Anyway, it was a plugin a friend of mine did, same thing happened. He developed it on windows, it worked, then when i put it on ubuntu that happened.

 

thank you guys, i will test these out

 

yes, deleting and copying back changes the filesystem storage structure and that's why I suggested the whole process with copying garbage.

 

Thanks so much! IT WORKED.

 

which one?

 

both

 

I can tell you I had the same problem with BOSEconomy and Residence plugins.
Changing it to ZBOSEconomy worked... Annoying linux server host xD

 

For future references:

There are 3 values that one can use to work with similar issues. You CAN control the order in which your items load. The 3 items are: 'depend', 'softdepend', and 'loadbefore'. These go in your plugin.yml file located in your plugin's .jar file. This can simply be accessed by opening the .jar file via WinRAR.
