The Bukkit Consulting Firm - Solving all your Bukkit-related challenges!

Linux problem: I have problem with linux and file saving/loading/keeping in memory. On windows, all is fine. It looks like linux server is keeping all flatfiles in memory, and when file changes server still keeps old file in memory even it shouldn't. For example while using bPermissions on windows, when new player joins, his entry in file is created and he gets all his permissions instantly. But on linux, when new player joins, his entry in file is created, but he doesn't get his permissions until "/permissions reload" or "/reload" or server restart.
Any way to fix this?

 

@Boos
Paste the output of

Code:

java -version

and tell us what flavor and version of linux you are using.

 

That's good, however i'm just using PermissionsBukkit and intends no features from Essentials/GroupManager(too many conflicts with other plugins), are there any workaround?
Btw, the /help command(from Essentials) does give a list of few commands, but it seems that some of the other plugins get not listed(i have configured Essentials with non-ess-in-help == true)

 

To strip everyone from using basic commands, just use a permission plugin and deny them from being able to use them.

 

or use plgDisableCommand, that's how i resisted the urge to use give for everyone INCLUDING myself

 

OR run Vanilla and give only yourself OP status.

 

i take ur quote and raise you 1 spoiler:

lol lol

BUT THEN HOW COULD I RESIST USING IT!?!?!? i need to use ban/kick/op/whatever else vanilla op's can do but I dont want /give![/spolier]

 

lol lol

Then run a vanilla server and don't OP anyone?

 

I am not part of the consulting team, but I noticed that no one helped you so I guess I will. From the look of your plugins the only thing that causes your problem would be Essentials.

So in your Essentials Config you need to scroll down where you see Essentials Protect Category. Then below that category you need to find the sub category named General Physics/behavior modifications you should see to config options and it should look like this:

tnt-explosion: true
tnt-playerdamage: false

Your going to want to turn on the explosion so change it to this:

tnt-explosion: false
tnt-playerdamage: false

That should work if it doesn't let me know.

 

lol lol

but then how do i kick/ban/teleport/say/terrorize players?

y thank you very much good sir, that message was lost in this ragging torrent of help requests.
@Deon very sorry i didnt see that message...dont worry it wont happen again (i hope but really doubt)

Or the person can use WorldGuard to manage TNT behavior.

 

@M1sT3rM4n Yes but they don't have WorldGuard installed. Making things complicated man

 

u may quite possibly be correct...

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

That's not a beard

On topic: They can couple WorldEdit and WorldGuard for better in game administration.

 

so all bets are off? darn well i g2g to bed cya 2 morrow!

 

Also, 1.8 Bukkit isn't out. So don't ask.

 

Why is there no permissions system in your post? Throw PEX into that list

 

Forgot to add it. Will add it later.

 

You on this 24/7 man!

 

No, I am on 38/9

 

Insta replies to!

 

Nearly instant. That's what makes our consulting group stand out.

 

Been having an issue since I opened my server up to the public.

Basically what happens is anyone who connects with spoutcraft client installed on their end gets kicked immediately, or is never allowed to join. I get lots of server console spam when this happens, heres the spam:

09:43 AM [WARNING] Failed to handle packet: java.lang.NullPointerException

The error messages can change a bit, but thats the most common one I see. Now, again, this only happens when someone with the spout CLIENT plugin connects.

The weird part about it is that I can connect to my own server with the very same version of the spoutcraft client plugin as the people getting this error; but with no issues whatsoever! My client runs just fine!

My server has these plugins:
Spout (newest rb), bpermissions, worldedit\guard, logblock, commandbook, essentials, magicspells, mcmmo, healthbar, virtualshop, moneydrop, multiverse, mobarena.


Any suggestion as to what is happening here?

 

Did you update to 1.8?

 

No. Of course not ^^. I won't be updating to the stinking pile of bugs that 1.8 is until they iron it out a bit!

As a sidenote, I posted this in a ticket on the spout bukkitdev page. They responded with "Ensure your clients are running an unmodified version of minecraft, with spout installed." I've tested again and again, on computers other than my own; a fresh 1.7.3 install of minecraft, with nothing but spout installed on it, will not connect to the server.

However, if I try with a vanilla client; No problem at all!

I tried removing the server plugins one by one, to no avail.

 

I'll try to go back to GroupManager, may luck be with me!
