    DropChest - Chests that absorb dropped items
    Version 0.8.2
    [​IMG]
    Important! When migrating from 0.6 to any above version, you have to move the DropChest.txt from server/plugins/DropChest.txt to server/plugins/DropChest/DropChest.txt
    This is because I have to follow the Bukkit plugin saves guidelines.

    This plugin automatically adds dropped items to near chests. That is very useful for automatic farming and monster traps that gather loot.
    Features
    • automatically suck dropped items that are near a chest to that chest
    • customizable warning if the chest is nearly full
    • list your DropChests and watch how much percent is still free
    • Permissions
    • Filter
    • Storage Minecart support
    • Dispenser and Furnace support
    • Item information
    • Chest protection
    • Automatic Owner tracking
    • Double-Chest support

    Usage
    Commands
    Show commands (open)

    To add a chest to the "watchlist", type
    Code:
    /dropchest add [radius]
    After that, rightclick the chest that you want to add. Radius is the radius in which the Chest should suck items. Default value is 2.

    To remove a chest from the "watchlist", just type
    Code:
    /dropchest remove chestid
    where chestid is the number of the chest that you get when you call /dropchest list

    You can list the chests that are on the watchlist via
    Code:
    /dropchest list
    You can adjust the radius of a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setradius chestid radius
    You can check which id and radius the Chest in front of you has:
    Code:
    /dropchest which
    after that, rightclick on the Chest to get information about it.
    If you are sitting in front of the console, or don't want to rightclick, you can use
    Code:
    /dropchest info chest
    It will generate the same output as /dc which.

    You can teleport to a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest tp chestid
    where chestid is the ID of the dropchest

    You can set the name of a DropChest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setname {chestid} {newname}
    The name is displayed in chest is full warnings, and in the DropChest list!

    If you migrate from 0.6 to 0.7, you can set the owner of a dropchest by typing:
    Code:
    /dropchest setowner {chest} {newowner}
    You can protect a chest by typing
    Code:
    /dropchest protect {chest} {on|off}
    You can always use /dc instead of /dropchest if you are lazy.

    Another very helpful command is /dcitem:
    Code:
    /dcitem [NAME|id]
    
    This can be used to obtain the name of an item by it's id or get an id of the item-name.
    This doesn't work with all names, though.

    Use the new command /chestinfo {name|id} to get info about what's inside the chest.
    Omit the argument and rightclick on any chest to get info about that.
    Example:
    Code:
    >/dcitem 4
    4 is COBBLESTONE
    >/dcitem cobblestone
    COBBLESTONE is 4
    

    Show Configuration (open)

    You can configure DropChest by pasting the contents of the following block to plugins/DropChest/dropchest.cfg
    Code:
    #Should the dropchest drop items when it gets a redstone signal?
    droponredstone=true
    #How long should the dropchest not suck items after it has dropped them
    waitafterdrop=10
    #Should users be able to protect chests like in LWC?
    usercanprotectchest=true
    #Which is the default radius if you omit the radius argument in /dropchest add?
    defaultradius=2
    #Which should be the maximum radius for players that have not dropchest.setBig and aren't ops?
    fallbackradius=15
    #At which fill-status should the chest warn you?
    warnfillstatus=90
    #Which message should appear as warning?
    #You can use this variables (example):
    # $owner : the owner of the chest (narrowtux)
    # $name  : the name of the chest (my superduper mobtower chest/#42)
    # $fill  : The fill status, in percent (81)
    warnmessage=$owner, your chest $name is nearly full($fill%).
    

    Filter / Storage Minecarts
    Show Filter/Storage Minecarts (open)

    Filters have changed in version 0.6. There are now 3 seperate filters that are for sucking items, pulling items from passing minecarts and pushing them to passing minecarts.
    You can now set the filters by either using commands or using the interactive mode. Let me show you the interactive mode first:
    to begin, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull}
    Note: choose one of suck, push or pull, please (for example /dropchest filter suck)
    Then you will enter the interactive mode. In this mode you can edit the selected filter by hitting the chest with the desired item in your hand.
    To edit another filter, type the above command again.
    To finish your filter, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter finish
    Commands mode:
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull} {chestid} {itemid|itemtype|clear}
    Call the filter-command like above, as second argument, use the chest-ID, and as third argument, either type the item-ID, the name of the item (as they appear here: org.bukkit.Material) or type clear to clear this filter.
    Please note! The suck filter acts different from the Pull/Push-Filter when it's empty. When the suck-filter is empty, the chest will suck every item. When a Pull/Push filter is empty, it won't take or give any items to a passing minecart.

    Show Permissions nodes (open)

    You can use these nodes:
    • dropchest - To get the right to use DropChest
    • dropchest.create - To call /dropchest add
    • dropchest.remove - To call /dropchest remove chestid
    • dropchest.radius.set - To set the radius of a Chest to something else than 2
    • dropchest.radius.setBig - To have unlimited radius
    • dropchest.which - To have access to the /dropchest which command
    • dropchest.teleport - To be able to teleport via /dropchest tp chestid
    • dropchest.filter - To set or reset filters
    • dropchest.filter.set - To set filters in interactive mode
    • dropchest.filter.reset - To reset filters in interactive mode (click with nothing in hand)
    • dropchest.list - To have access to /dc list and /dc info
    • dropchest.destroy - To be able to break a dropchest without removing it before.
    • dropchest.protect - To be able to protect a chest
    • dropchest.moderator - To be able to modify a dropchests properties even if you're not the owner. Also, ops and the console can do that.
    You can use these variables:

    • dropchestmaxradius - To adjust the maximum radius for a group or a user
    How to use variables:

    Code:
    users:
      narrowtux:
        info:
          dropchestmaxradius: 1000
    
    This is just an example and this also works with groups!

    Hav the same error message as Kartus. DropChests break and it's not possible to reset them. We use Bukkit 531. Is there any chance to get an update for Dropchest?

    Sorry, originally I implemented it like this that if no permissions is installed, everything is allowed. But as time passed, Permissions fucks up more and more, so this doesn't work anymore.
     
  5. What does permissions's fking up got to do with ignoring it when it's not loaded ? There are plugins that do that just fine... like MinecraftMMO, Lockette, DeathMessages and Citizens.

    So what i am doing wrong?
    setname still does not work.
    Or does it work? But i never get a notification in game.
    I can see the name in dropchest.txt

    narrowtux

    There isn't any notification about that. You can check the success via /dropchest list

    Harrison Smith

    Okay I haven't seen my problem with the plugin (which is wonderful while it works). It appears that any time somebody leaves a chunk a dropchest is in it breaks the chest. We get the server error message and it stops sucking. Additionally, I have a lot of difficulty assigning /dc add ## after this happens to said chest. How can I make the chests persistant like everyone else?

    The PC Tech Guy

    As others have reported, it still happens... it appears to be those that do not have a set radius (2), although I'm not sure. It always seems to be just two chests that have the problem, and the chests are pretty close to each other (not extremely close, but around a 20-30 block range or so.)

    So how exactly do you use the push/pull with furnaces? I'm not quite sure how to get it.
     
  16. Offline

    narrowtux

    You can do it exactly like with chests and dispensers. I'm on it to provide auto-filters that suck all burnable materials and fuels and passing them to the right slots. The products can be taken from minecarts automatically.
    This is still buggy, it produces item-loss/dupes and so I'm not releasing it until it works.

    Kevin Forte

    Ohh okay so it isn't implemented right now? Okay, that's why it wouldn't work. :p

    Filters and pull/push is activated but not the convenient handling of materials in furnaces as I described. but maybe I forgot something... :D

    Ok, I've had dropchest working for sometime, however I'm not getting

    "You may not use DropChest. Please ask your Operator to enable this awesome plugin for you.

    I own the server and have the following in my permission file for the world

    - 'dropchest.*'

    What else do I need to set to be able to use it please ?

    edit: Nevermind, looked through the code, I've had to give myself all the individual permissions as .* doesn't seem to be recognised.

    narrowtux

    Noo you have to give yourself the basic right (dropchest) and all the other rights(dropchest.*). I dont know if this is intended in permissions or just a design flaw.

    D5120

    Ah ok, thanks. I know with the other plugins I'm running {name}.* gives all permissions, without the need of adding the basic one.

    Hey, I'm running my server on minecraft-servers.com, and so I don't manually save from console, I use his utilities to do so. Your plugin tells the log that the directory for it doesn't exist, and it will be created on the next save...it never is. Any way you could make it set up its directory immediately upon first run, like other plugins? This would help me a lot. Alternately, if you could just let me know what exactly is in the plugins/ChestDrop folder, I could easily set it up manually.

    narrowtux

    The dropchests are being saved in the DropChest folder. It is automatically created, when it's not, then you should look which rights you have there.

    Any plans to fix the problem where dropchest are broken and removed when a chuck they are in is unloaded? After that, the dropchests don't work again when the chuck is reloaded until the server is restarted.

    Kartus

    @narrowtux i have same "chunkunload remove" issue with #356 recommended.
    and /dc which work only sometimes, the chatmessage "Now rightclick on a chest " appears allways, but then the rightclick doesn't show infos in chat, it only opens inventory+chestinventory.
    /dc add works only sometimes too.

    could you please fix this and update to #556?

    Kartus

    Yes, Sure, i edited my post. Thx.
    /dc add doesn't work if a block is above the chest i saw ;) but it's still buggy i think, at least /dc which.
