Inactive [SEC/ADMN] OwnBlocksX v0.2.3 - Protect your blocks (MySQL, iConomy 5) [1000]

OwnBlocksX - (OwnBlocks eXtended)
Version: v0.2.3

OwnBlocksX is a branch off the original OwnBlocks plugin. OwnBlocksX is intended to add support for many features which may not be suitable for the original plugin. Such features include MySQL support (completed), iConomy 5 support (completed), and group project support (in progress).

See original plugin thread for more information

Features:

• Blocks you place cannot be broken by others
• Ability to exclude certain blocks from being protected
• Support for Permissions AND non-Permissions servers
• Add (pre-placed) blocks to the database manually

Notable Changes:

-MySQL is now required
-If you are migrating from OwnBlocks, you will need to convert your database unless you are starting fresh. Here is a helpful link
-Permissions nodes are now OwnBlocksX.* (note the X)
-toggle command is now /obx or /ownblocksx
-New configuration file name and path
-If you are upgrading from the test builds (OwnBlocksMySQL) then you need to rename your database table from OwnBlocks to OwnBlocksX.If you are using MySQL, the command is:
"RENAME TABLE OwnBlocks TO OwnBlocksX"

Source Code
OwnBlocks is released under the WTFPL License.

Other Notes:
If you are having problems, you may need to have the MySQL JDBC driver installed

Config File Options:
Please note that at any time you may move/rename/delete you config file, and restart your server to produce the example/default config file with these options pre-filled along with descriptions. Also remember that lines preceded by a '#' are comments, and are ignored.

host - enter the MySQL database host. 'localhost' unless you are running the database on a separate server
databaseName - name of the MySQL database you will use on the MySQL server
username - the MySQL user with which OwnBlocksX will authenticate with the MySQL database
password - password for the MySQL user
exclude - enter comma separated integers of block-ids you wish to exclude from being protected and entered into the database. An example would be to enter the block-id for saplings, so planted trees do not have a single log at the bottom that is protected when a tree is harvested by another player.
iConomy - enter an integer greater than '0' (zero) to enable. The number entered becomes the 'Basic Rate' at which players are charged to place protected blocks. Players will not be able to place blocks if they have insufficient funds.
debug - If you are experiencing errors, and want to post them here to resolve them, or just want to spam your server log with information, set debug equal to 'true'
status-message - Set this to 'disable' to not receive the message "[Username] - OwnBlocks is now activated for you....". Set this to 'simple' to receive a simple "OwnBlocks activated/deactivated" instead. Lastly, set this to 'disable' to disable messages entirely. Now that I think of it, disabling status-messages seems like a really bad idea......but the choice is yours.
info-id - Enter the integer representing the ID of the material or tool you would like to use as your "information tool" which will display the Owner of a block you right click with specified tool. Default is 269, which is the wooden shovel.
add-id - Enter the integer representing the ID of the material or tool you would like to use as your "add tool" which will add the block you left click with the tool to the database. Default is 268, which is the wooden sword.
enabled-on-login - True means that OwnBlocks is automatically activated for every player as soon as they log in. False means that OwnBlocks must be activated manually by each player when they want to start building protected blocks.

Permissions Nodes:
You will need to add these nodes to your Permissions configurations if your server uses Permissions:
'OwnBlocksX.ignoreOwnership' - Allows player to break blocks placed by others. This node is typically given to admins.
'OwnBlocksX.use' - Allows a player to even use OwnBlocks. If you want everyone to be able to protect blocks with OwnBlocks, and assuming you have a "normal" Permissions configuration, then add this node to your "default" class.
'OwnBlocksX.info' - Allows a player to use the info-tool to display who owns a protected block.
'OwnBlocksX.add' - Allows a player to use the add-tool to add blocks to the database for protection.

Looks pro! Just don't know if my survival server will like it or not..

 

THANKS ALOT!!



Will you be able to make an message when users try to break blocks that are placed by other?

like:

[playername] owns this block

or something like that

 

updated for this

And how long does it take until this gets moved to the Releases section? :\
It only took OwnBlocks a few hours to get moved

 

Can you add support for blocks being moved by pistons?
Or is it already in it?

 

So what happens when a user surrounds another user in blocks, or walls off someone else's house? :S

 

They call an admin. I guess. Or do /spawn or /home or whatever they can.

 

Best plugin ever!

Thanks man

 

There's been a pretty big build up of submissions over the past few days. It usually doesn't take this long :/

 

is it spoused to work automaticly? if it is its not working

 

This might be possible once the piston API events get solidified. Until then, no.

This. It has also been suggested to add an option to disallow adjacent construction to help mitigate this problem.

Thanks

You need to set up your MySQL database, and the proper configurations in the OwnBlocksX config file

 

how do i make a data base

 

See if you can find a tutorial. Try some google searches and this

 

how do i make a database?

 

Do you have MySql ?

 

First, sorry for my bad english, i'm from Russia. Second - this is great plugin, thanks a lot for it! But tables in my DB of MySQL don't creating. I was made a user@localhost, db (minecraft) and password. After first starting of minecraft server i was change in "OwnBlocksX.properties" #MySQL CONFIG with my parameters. After i had see in DB new table with name "OwnBlocksX", but it is null always. Can you help me, please? Where is my trouble, maybe in my hands???

Hmmmm.... When i was made myself by admin, after push "T" and wrote a "/obx" plugin is starting and wrote me: "OwnBlocks Activated; Blocks you build will be protected". Ok, so what i made wrong? Why simple players can't to use this plugin, they wrote /obx, but nothing happens, no messages from plugin in chat... Help me, please, who know answer on my question.

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

 

You can use for example db4free.

Have u got permissions set right?

Thanks ofr making this plug in, youve releave me from people always griefing in my server but now since the new update with pistons, griefers are getting smarter, with pistons they can now use that to break into peoples houses and use it to ruin people creations is there a way to stop this from happening if not, for the next update of this plug in is it possible to add this feature in?

 

You must add the permissions node 'OwnBlocksX.use' to the default user in your Permissions configuration

No piston related features will be able to be added until after the bukkit API has added support for them

 

It do doesn't automatically, when i connect and types /obx it's says "Owblocks enabled", and i'm pretty sure my config file i right. Would be nice if it was impossible for the user to turn of Ownblocks, maybe you can add that?

 

Is there a way to port the old format to mysql? Because if there isn't I cant switch to this or everyone will lose protection on the stuff they built.

 

This looks good, Im wondering how the iconomy plays into this tho, is it like u pay to place blocks down, or pay to toggle this on or off.

Im wondering if it would possible to Sell the stuff you place with this like say u build a house you could Sell that house.

Also I need the Group support so I'm waiting on that feature.

 

Yep, cvenomz wrote a converter, Here is a snipped version of his reply w/ information on migration:

 

Shhhhhh! just dont tell them that OwnBlocksX is on your server lol

iConomy is currently set as a pay-to-place blocks. Selling stuff would be complicated, but its a cool idea. I didnt think of that

 

What if i used OwnBlocks 0.2.1 before with MySQL and I dont want to loose my previous database?

 

Why dont it enable automaticly?

I have set it to enable at log in. Strange... ?

 

Check out the Notable Changes section in the original post. Namely, you will need to rename the database table, and move your configurations to the new config file. However, nothing changed regarding the guts of the database, just the names. Let me know if you are having trouble.

There is an option in the configuration file: enabled-on-login. just set it from false to true and everyone will have OwnBlocksX enabled by default upon logging into the server

 

Code:

#Set whether OwnBlocks is activated on player login (enabled by default) or if
#players must enable OwnBlocks themselves (disabled by default)
enabled-on-login=true

It still dosent activate automaticly at log in?

 

Hi Cvenomz,

Looks like you have a issue that I seem to find a lot with plug-ins that go to MySQL,

It seems that after the initial mysql connect, the code doesn't check to make sure its still open. Eventually that initial connection will time out, and then you get the error below.

Simple solutions, check connection state and reconnect if needed, or make and close connections as needed (this one probably isn't as good of an idea for this plugin)

Thanks for pointing this out AND for providing potential solutions
I remember getting this problem in another plugin I wrote a few weeks ago. I wasnt sure if it was plugin-specific, or a "global" issue. Now I know. I added code that makes the server reset the MySQL connection every hour. This should resolve the issue. Later I hope to implement checking to make sure the connection is still valid when interfacing with the database, per your suggestion.

Thanks man
