    Can you guys help me compile a list of Plugins that "any new server" should have in your opinion?... I realise that the plugin section is relatively easy to navigate but there seems to be a good deal of redundancy within it and I'm having a hard time getting a good set of plugins to preform the functions that a clean install of hey0 used to.

    I'll edit the OP with any recommended plugins, just trying to get a clear concise list.

    My concerns:
    Editing and assigning prefixes/coloring titles and names.
    A help menu which only lists commands on your server/available to your usergroup.
    A way to organize/edit more than one usergroup.
    Basic teleport functionality tp/tphere etc...
    (all the fill stuff and generating large amounts of blocks would be helpful if there is an obvious one)
    /give command
    an easier time command then saying a specific second, maybe something that just does /time day.


    If you can give me plugins that address my specific concerns (or other ones you think are worth adding) I'll put them in the original post.

    So, as I embark on my journey for the perfect minecraft server plugin list, I have come to the realization that permissions are going to be the most important (I think) to get everything else set up... so I'm beginning with the permission related addons....

    Those addons will be
    Permissions
    The basic permissions app, this is the core of permissions (to my understanding)
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...ow-with-real-multiworld-permissions-602.5974/

    iChat
    At the recommendation of cjc343 I'm adding iChat to the server (right after permissions) to make the prefixes and suffixes show up properly. Hurray, this should also allow me to change the colors of names (or possibly just prefixes and suffixes)
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/chat-ichat-2-2-2-custom-chat-formatting-b602jnks.5857/

    Permissions Plus
    This app as far as I am aware will add functionality to the permissions application (some in game commands etc...to make this work better. )
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/se...functionality-to-permissions-plugin-531.9277/
    Assign Permissions
    I am installing this because it doesnt seem to have any commands that will conflict with permissions plus (although it seems to work on very similar aspects)
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...1-0-set-permissions-groups-in-game-556.10345/

    Now, this seems to wrap up the core essentials for editing permissions which will allow me to create specific usergroups etc... Fantastic. Guess I'll move on to the other apps I picked out.

    */TimeShift
    Note: Timeshift is not currently working, ignore it.
    This app seems like it will be a fine one for changing the time in game (which was on my main list of concerns) as well as addressing the concern of not being redundant/conflicting with other plugins. Hurray. Also, permissions support HURRAY.
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-fun-timeshift-1-5-2-1-change-time-on-the-fly-b602.1265//*

    MOTD
    This app seems to cover some other essentials that I was looking for (teleporting even if only by request, changing the time for players when I'm not around which I may or may not disable/take out, a wholist and of course setting a MOTD)
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...rt-request-vote-time-ip-and-wholist-584.8359/

    Essentials
    I'm not entirely sure about this, I'm looking to see how much setup/configuration this app takes because there seem to be aspects of it such as the "special signs" that I dont really need or want. It seems like it meets the rest of my needs but I dont know how much redundancy / how many errors it will create, I'll get back to this one.
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ge...of-essential-plugins-in-one-package-602.1262/

    Ok, so I'm going to install the permissions section of plugins see how that goes, then I'll work my way down the rest of the list to see how everything meshes togethor... will update soon I hope. Still looking for suggestions guys/gals :)

    TimeShift is currently broken on 612. There is an issue with bukkit not properly providing the current time which is preventing it from working. This should be fixed by a later CB build and should not require a new version of TimeShift, although it is possible it will.

    You'll want something like iChat to actually implement Permissions' prefix and suffix fields. Good luck on your search for the perfect combo.

    Thanks for the update, glad I didnt get to that, just implemented Permissions and got everything there set up. Going to put TimeShift in a bubble then and put it on the backburner... I'll add iChat now.

    For some reasons I cannot get permissions to work properly :'( I can get it to show the tags before the names (albeit not the tags I want to show) if someone is in the admin group their name is prefixed with admin even though I have no prefix assigned... Also as soon as I get rid of default user commands admin loses their commands as well... any ideas on that?

    Added note, when the minecraft server is starting up it pops up Preparing spawn area 44% and then invalid config file found and converted to proper name/format. (every time however)

    Could you post a list of the plugins you now have installed and both your Permissions and iChat config? Make sure to put the config files in a
    Code:
    code block
    
    as the spacing is important.

    E:

    Default iChat config for one of the options out there:
    Code:
    censor-list: []
    censor-color: '&f'
    date-format: HH:mm:ss
    message-format: '[+prefix+group+suffix&f] +name: +message'
    censor-char: '*'
    censor-string-color: '&f'
    censor-colored: false
    
    Note the message-format line includes both +prefix and +group. You'll want to re-arrange the message format to follow the style you want.

    Certainly.
    Only 2 I got to, figured I'd go one by one testing as I go so that I know exactly where any errors pop up, was hoping to make this a decent/concise guide for others who wanted to start a server...

    added note, this pops up upon server startup.
    Code:
    preparing spawn area 44%
    invalid config file found and converted to proper name/format
    Permissions

    Code:
    # System is no longer used, but may become used in the future
    # Copies is for multiple-world support
    #   Put the name of the world you wish for it to be a clone of, otherwise leave it empty.
    #   If this file is for your default world (the one in server.properties) then you must
    #   leave copies blank.
    #  Example: copies: Derp    -  This will clone the permissions of the world Derp
    #
    # Make sure to rename this file to the name of the world that is in sever.properties under
    # level-name.  So if it is level-name: world  then this should be world.yml and in the
    # plugins/Permissions directory (ie. plugins/Permissions/world.yml)

    2 things:

    1. With Permissions, don't give any node twice. Basically, if you are an 'Admin' don't also give yourself '*' permission because you already get that by being an Admin.

    2. Read my Edit above -- you need to edit your 'message-format' for iChat.

    I would highly suggest GroupManager over permissions any day. First of all it has the functions that you want, the ability to add, edit permissions in game without the need or hassle of the extra plugins. Of course currently its not updated to work with the latest craftbukkit.

    As you mentioned Essentials, I think ditch the motd plugin and just use essentials as it has that functionality. iChat is great to keep however.

    I also suggest an anti-griefing BigBrother plugin. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/se...ete-griefer-logging-rollback-package-531.166/

    WorldEdit and WorldGuard would also be essential for massive editing or fixing. I would suggest MCDocs for an motd and any other txt document you wish to add easily.

    Current code for permissions, still not allowing any (I originally made it so it didnt repeat, figured I'd try that regardless of the file saying not to :p)

    Code:
    # System is no longer used, but may become used in the future
    # Copies is for multiple-world support
    #   Put the name of the world you wish for it to be a clone of, otherwise leave it empty.
    #   If this file is for your default world (the one in server.properties) then you must
    #   leave copies blank.
    #  Example: copies: Derp    -  This will clone the permissions of the world Derp
    #
    # Make sure to rename this file to the name of the world that is in sever.properties under
    # level-name.  So if it is level-name: world  then this should be world.yml and in the
    # plugins/Permissions directory (ie. plugins/Permissions/world.yml)
    #
    # NOTE: Do not use tabs while editing this document.  Use only spaces.  A good way to avoid

    Changed iChat to the code you described

    Code:
    censor-list: []
    censor-color: '&f'
    date-format: HH:mm:ss
    message-format: '[+prefix+suffix&f] +name: +message'
    censor-char: '*'
    censor-string-color: '&f'
    censor-colored: false
    
    ichat is... for the most part fixed, however now instead of a prefix/suffix coming up I just get [] liefe.
    The error with the invalid config file is still occurring as is the issue with permissions not giving me any commands. For the record, the config file name for the permissions is set to terestria (the temporary name of the world until I get things sorted out) as is stated in the comments of the code.

    Then, for now I will try to get permissions working (at least until groupmanager is fixed) I'll ditch motd, which essentials would you recommend as there are like 4 different ones. (or are you saying the one I already have chosen)

    Made the changes to both, chat is working now however still the same old issues with permissions doing absolutely nothing/me having no capabilities.

    What capabilities do you expect to have that aren't working? All the default commands are controlled by whether you're an OP or not. You need plugins to implement commands if you want to control them via Permissions.

    Wow so I may just have been a blatant idiot and by not making myself an op disallowed myself from using any commands? I mean even /help wasnt working. Ok I was just being dumb, scratch all this idiocy.

    My only current issue is that the "Invalid config file found etc..." pops up still. ON TO OTHER PLUGINS!

    I believe that error is a misplaced debugging message in Permissions 2.5.5, an update will probably be available soon that removes it.

    Awesome, we've moved on to the other 2 permission programs which were added flawlessly, moving on to the "Essentials" plugin now.

    Everything is set up to a point of perfection for me, as it is 3:00AM I will update tomorrow on the plugins and settings I finally used.

    Just thought I'd let you know... The Essentials package supports literally everything that you mentioned as far as I'm aware.

    Regrettably I'm still having issues with Permissions working properly, anyone who is not listed as an op gets an error whenever they try to use any of the essentials (or any other) command.

    I feel that the Essentials suite should top the Bukkit list, followed by Permissions, which can be replaced by the Essentials version of GroupManager later for easier group control.
