so is it possible for a default to op only option and not use a sql server

 

@phaed Yeah fixed I noticed you had the Help API in it but never seen the SimpleTeams before

@Buckethead This runs off SQLite, which means it's basically a database in a text file. No configuration needed.

I think you are confused. You can ask for all permissions to be given to Op when you don't want to use a permissions plugin. MySQL and SQLite are databases not permissions plugins. Databases hold data, like who owns the blocks and where they are located and what type they are etc. You asking to not to save any data rather to just default to op makes absolutely no sense at all. And like Cain said, you can just use SQLite, which requires no configuration.

 

@phaed have you got AIM or MSN so that I can contact you easier?

 

I installed this and it almost fried my cpu

5.0.1 and cb953

 

Did you have PS installed previously? Or is it your first time installing?

 

When you say, "before you reinstall," you don't mean on v4 do you? That command doesn't seem to function. I can run it after putting v5 back though, if I get lag (or either way if you want). I believe I only have a few hundred actual pstones deployed on this server. The map is 2 weeks old and I don't have many users.

EDIT: /psdebug seems to work (no space!). I'm not sure typing it again is toggling if off though (I'm on 4.3). Erm...

EDIT: On 4.3, /psdebug seems to have lagged me to hell. I had to kill the server :/

 

Yea, I meant run it on 5. Very weird, /psdebug is not a command. It's /ps debug.

 

came here as the quarie to run before updating didnt work

Code:

#1146 - Table 'minecraft_main.pstone_fields' doesn't exist

my field is called ps_fields

then i saw the message about frying cpu ... has that been fixed?

should be noted that the reason i came to update is it wont let me put pistons in an anti mob field...wierd bug but figured its fixed in the latest version

PreciousStones 5 comes with a much simplified DB schema which now supports SQLite. Upon first run it will create the new database tables (pstone_fields, pstone_unbreakables). You will need to run the queries below in order to import the data from your old tables.

Did you do that?

 

ah i didnt do that, i read it as before upgrading the quaries needed to be run

has the cpu issue been resolved? i would really like to know that before i risk updating

 

Yes, I put the chunk tagging code back, should be the same as 4.3.

 

so I am using a WAY older version of your precious stones plugin (3.2.1) back when it was still flatfile. How do I migrate my flat file data from the flatlife to SQLite. I have a large server and can't afford to lose all the data for the precious stones.

 

Change log
Version 5.0.2

• Forrester now terraforms the land around it based on the forrester.fertile-blocks config setting
• Forrester now adds shrubs and plants if used with the forester-shrubs flag
• Fixed: not leaving fields on death
• Fixed: worlds are no longer tagged on load. wholesale tagging is not needed as each chunk is tagged on pstone place.
• Added: /ps retag. Force retagging of all chunks. should only be needed if you are upgrading from a version prior to tagging.

Re-Download 5.0.2, backup your old save flatfiles, and drop in the new jar on your server. It should convert the files automatically and then delete them.

I advise you to use the new config.yml as alot has changed.

Not trying to make it into a competition but is there any reason to use PreciousStones strictly for protection over something such as WorldGuard?

 

Each has its uses. PS is easy for the players and for the staff as players don't have to ask staff to protect for them, and staff don't have to get bothered by players. Its also a lot less meta and blends into the game better.

 

Yeah, I like the idea of other players being able to protect their areas.

The only thing that would be nice is if it were possible to make the sponge effect reversed so PVP only worked in those regions.

A question about the height - for city protection default, would it be 15 up and 15 down? or only 15 up? etc.

 

That would be the block in the center 7 up, 7 down

 

5.0.2 still disallows sticky pistons.

I use PS for a self-service protection scheme, where you can buy or mine the power to lock down areas. I run a PvP server and this is probably my favorite plugin along with mcMMO.

Re-Download

 

Is there any way to disallow the owner from placing or destroying in a city protection field? I can sorta get what I want with the no-owner tag but the field is unnameable now. All I want to do is make a block that locks down an area to everybody, including the owner, but otherwise acts as a city protection field with welcome messages and a name.

 

Do not convert yet. Wait for next release.

 

@phaed
Did the super high CPU bug get squished yet? 5.0.1 still had it in there, I have about 950~ stones and it pretty much locks up the server when it starts.

 

It seems fine for me now. I'll post back if anything happens

I broke a protection block with superpickaxe (worldedit) and it didn't register. I then did /ps clean and got 1 result. /ps info verifies it's gone. Then I did /ps save and when I do /ps info to confirm it's still gone, it's not. Suddenly it sees the block again even though it's not there. The /ps save actually undoes the cleaning seemingly. This exact behavior I had previously on 4.x.

Oh, VoxelSniper is another plugin people might use to break blocks in a non-standard way, if you're trying to code for those exceptions now. That's not what I used here (but I could have ).

And yeah, I cannot seem to get rid of this phantom block. I tried /ps clean and then just waiting (not doing the follow-up /ps save) and it came back on its own. I think based on my history with this that if I reload it will suddenly be ok, or will let me fix it with clean/save anyway. I'm not sure what goes wrong to land me in this situation but maybe that error will help you.

Alright I will wait, let me know when I should.

 

Hey, is there a way to consolidate names? Like using 20 pstones named "spawn" as one big forcefield?

 

http://sacredlabyrinth.net/wiki/index.php/PreciousStones#Overlapping

 

I haven't upgraded yet, is this a new feature? My 4.x(forget specific version) isn't doing this ATM

 

I am still noticing high cpu usage with 5.0.2 There is definitely a noticeable difference between running 5 vs 4.x whatever the latest was. when i stop my server with 5.0.2 it takes forever for everything to stop but when i switch back its back to being quick. I also see a bunch of can't keep up messages on 5 where 4 didn't. 4 (the newest) was conflicting with FalseBookBlocks.jar where 5 doesn't but 5 seems to mess up Citizens 1.9b and FalseBookExtra.jar this time. anyone else see the same?

 

I think i found a bug Glow of Life, seems to be stopping creeper explosions not sure if this was intended or not.

Code:

-   title: Glow of Life
    block: 89
    radius: 4
    slow-heal: true
    no-conflict: true
