Hey guys, What I am wanting is a good Maintenance plugin. Here is pretty much what I want. Have you ever seen those servers under maintenance where the ping bar has an X over it but it is still "open"? It also shows the slots on it, with the MOTD being configurable for it, but denying to access to press "Join Server", so meaning, the server is still online but you can't join.. Pretty much. (That means no kick message. ) I would REALLY appreciate if anyone could tell me the certain plugin for this, or make me one. Thanks a ton! Beastly
timtower Is it possible to make the server unjoinable though while still being online? I play on a server that does this.
xXTh3B3astXxify It is called an whitelist, or you need an plugin that kicks the player on the PlayerPreLoginEvent. More info about the event
timtower Yep.. I think that's what they were using. Do you know of any plugins that can use PlayerPreLoginEvent?
timtower Thanks! Like I said, I saw a server that had to "No Ping" sign on the connection bars, but it was still open.
Hey I am willing to create a plugin for you that does this. I am in fact the founder of the NOVA development team and I will be glad to organize a skype call or some sort of chat to get details on exactly what you want this plugin to do. Please give me a PM and I will start the outlines on what you want. Here is what I will code for you without talking. So like if you want to work on your server you type /<command> enable and it kick everyone from you server thats not on the list to not kick. And it will make your MOTD Under Maintenance. If they try to join it will say Come back in a while or something. I can even throw in somthing like if you log out it will turn off the maintenance and allow users to join again. If you are interested in me developing you a custom plugin just leave me a PM and we can talk more. HiROs15 (Founder of NOVA Development)
timtower I'll test it out. xD timtower Thanks a ton! EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Hmm.... could you make the plugin for me? The plugin mentioned above has not been updated for a while. My skype is thejackdunaway
jackdunaway13 Just because it hasn't been updated, doesn't mean it doesn't work. Plugins like MaintenanceMode are usually not affected by new updates, so there is no need to update them.
I believe its possible to disable the client's "join" button using reflection to modify the ping's version reply. Just change the version to something higher (or add whitespace to confuse the client) and it will mark it with an X disabling the join button. (just a theory at least) I'm going to give this a shot and see if I cant make it work.
You could just use, http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/quickShutdown It has maintenance mode custom messages and runs of a whitelist.
