[WIP/INFO/TP] SignPrintf vB0.0.1 - Formatting syntax for signs [1060]

SignPrintf - Formatting syntax for signs:
Version: B0.0.1

Gives signs a formatting syntax vaguely similar to C's printf function. In other words, a one-letter code with a % prefix.

This plugin is based on SignPrintf v1.42 for hMod by STJrInuyasha. STJrInuyasha has specified that they had plans on porting their plugins to Bukkit, but that was January 17, 2011.

Features:

• Sign formatting syntax
• When a SignPrintf sign is right-clicked on, while holding a feather, information of the sign is displayed.

Settings:

Code:

update-time    How often the server updates the signs, in milliseconds. Default: 500

Commands:

• /signhelp [page] - Display help and formatting codes.
• /waypoints [-a|player] - Shows your waypoints. -a shows all waypoints in use. Specifing a player's name shows that player's waypoints. (-a/username usage depends on player's permission)
• /signwarp <waypoint> - Teleport to a sign waypoint.

Permissions:

Code:

signprintf                  Gives access to all SignPrintf permissions.
signprintf.listwaypoints    Allow the player to list all waypoints, or waypoints created by a player.
signprintf.createwarp       Allow the player to create warp and waypoint signs. (%#w and %#W)
signprintf.removesigns      Allow the player to break signs they do not own.

Notes:

• Signs are currently stored in a flatfile in SignPrintf's data directory. I've been pondering about using Bukkit's persistence instead.

Counter
Only one type of counter can be used per sign.

Code:

%#c    Counter, Increased by 1 when right-clicked. Count is reset when left-clicked. Parameter is the starting count.
%#C    Same as c, except cannot reset the count.
%#x    Large counter, same as c, except increases depending on what the player is holding. Wooden tool: 5; Stone: 10; Iron: 25; Gold: 50; Diamond: 100; Anything else: 1.
%#X    Same as x, except cannot reset the count.

Teleporter
Multiple teleporters can teleport to the same waypoint. Only one waypoint per number.

Code:

%#w    Teleporter. Right clicking on the sign will teleport to the waypoint. The parameter is the waypoint to teleport to.
%#W    Waypoint. The parameter is used to identify this waypoint and will be used in a teleporter. Your location, not the sign, will be the destination.
