    Permissions 3.0
    Rcjrrcjr has been working quite hard on this upgrade to Permissions. However, it currently still suffers from a number of bugs. The most important of these which directly affects HeroChat is the non-functioning of prefixes and suffixes. There are less-than-pretty workarounds, but I'm refraining from fully supporting an update until Permissions 3.1 is released which should include a number of significant bug fixes. When this does occur, however, I have a build ready for you guys that should work. You can download it here. Again, I highly suggest not using this until Permissions 3.1 is released unless you really don't care about prefixes and such.

    See you when I get back!

    Is your config resetting when you make changes?
    If you make changes to the config while the server is running, you need to use the /ch reload command to make the changes stick. I wish this message wasn't necessary, but people only seem to read things in big, bold, red text (if at all).

    Have a problem? a feature request? Go here.
    HeroChat now has its very own redmine found here. If you have an issue or would like to suggest a new feature, I urge you to file it via redmine. I will be checking this much more often than this thread from here on out.

    Show your thanks! Maintaining plugins like HeroChat is very nearly a full time job. If you enjoy my plugins and appreciate the support I provide, then please consider providing some support of your own. Donating even a tiny amount keeps me motivated and makes me feel loved so go ahead and donate!

    I see two immediate issues.
    1. Your admins group inherits Moderator when it should inherit moderator.
    2. Your caziban user is in the admin group when he should be in the admins group.
    If you're still having issues after fixing these two things, please also post your HeroChat config.

    --- merged: Feb 6, 2011 11:58 AM ---
    Small bug fix update. The mod command now works and the list command no longer puts a @ in front of everyone's name if you're a chat admin.

    Changelog:
    Version 2.67
    • Bug fix: issue with /ch list
    • Bug fix: issue with /ch mod

    Have you actually tried using the other two channels (with the appropriate Admins or Moderators permissions)? Note that both of the last two channels have hidden set to true, meaning that they won't show up on the /ch channels list even if they exist.

    Ah thanks, they only actually loaded after I found and deleted the other .yml file that was hiding >.>

    Is there some sort of /silence command to leave every channel? So you would only have to listen to anything an admin or mod says.

    Code:
    org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer loadPlugins
    SEVERE: null; mapping values are not allowed here (Is it up to date?)
    mapping values are not allowed here
     in "<reader>", line 54, column 34:

    I hate those errors :( I don't know why they even happen when I follow the examples already made that work fine :S

    There's no silence command.

    That error is occurring because on that options: line, you have a parenthesis in "options: (" rather than a curly brace as in "options: {". If you fix that the error should go away.

    Thank you so much! I have it working now! I'll definitely be using HeroChat over iChat simply because of the support you offer! I highly appreciate your help!

    For some reason half the mod doesn't seem to be working for me. The default channel appears, I can talk, etc, but for some reason I can't make new channels, use the /ch list command or many of the other commands. I think there might a problem with my install because two of the files mentioned did not appear in my HeroCraft folder but I don't know what to do about that. I've tried installing it but it didn't work doing that either...

    The archive linked on the first page (make sure you are NOT downloading the .jar only link) includes HeroChat.jar, a folder called HeroChat and a file called data.yml inside that folder. Make sure you are extracting both HeroChat.jar and the folder to your plugins folder AS IS. Without touching the data.yml file, try to load the server (preferably without any other plugins to make sure your issue isn't one of conflicting plugins) and see if the commands work.

    I installed it with the folder Herochat that has the data.yml and the herochat.jar inside the plugins folder. Tried it with and without other plugins but the commands still don't seem to be working. What is weird is it was working temporarily when I first installed it but for some reason it stopped.... I'm using the latest build of bukkit (264 I believe it is) if that helps at all..
     
  12. HeroChat is awesome, can't imagine how I managed without it! Its also truly inspiring to see the level of active support DThielke is providing for this - glad to have spotted this plugin early on, saved me a lot of work.

    Looking to get the newest version - just wondering if it might still work on b165 or did you add new methods that weren't around then? I'll give it a try anyway just worth keeping in mind compatibility for people who are waiting for other plugins to be updated for latest bukkit etc.

    Regarding Permissions - is there a way I can give different prefixes to people in the same group? Currently to give two people different titles I have to make unique groups for them. Also suffixes don't display? I shouldn't be asking this here especially since I'm using old versions of bukkit and permissions but just in case you came across the same thing.

    Thanks again!
    Corum.

    I'm glad you're happy with HeroChat! Dthielke is a very skilled and helpful coder and is a great addition to our coding team :)

    You can add in titles by using the Permissions user: prefix/suffix - the PLAYER/user format will always take instead of the group setting.

    Correct, as Kainzo said, you can define user based prefixes and suffixes just as you can for groups. Note however, that HeroChat only support Permissions 2.0+, so if you are using an older version you will have to update. Besides that, HeroChat should still work with older versions of craft bukkit.

    Hey,
    Very nice plugin, got pretty much everything a server owner can wish for =)

    One thing that I would like to see added is the following:
    I'm running a greylist which means the default-group (guest-group) only has building rights in a certain area, and are restricted to a guest chat which our members doesn't necessarily needs to see.
    The members join a separate, general chat when they join the server, and doesn't join the guest chat by default.

    Can you implement this in your plugin? A way for guest to join the guest-chat, and members to join another channel by default?

    Also, don't know if this would require you to do anything with your plugin, but on my server we're using Auctions and they can get a little spammy sometimes and not everyone is interested in seeing them constantly. Therefore it would be pretty neat if iAuction by Zaraza107 could send all it's auctions-notifications to a separate auctions-channel which players could choose to leave. I'm guessing this may require you to add some sort of API for others plugins to use channels?

    I've been meaning to implement something along these lines, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll try to have this implemented by the end of the week.

    Yeah, I can create an API for other plugins to send messages to particular channels - that shouldn't be hard to do. It'd then be up to Zaraza107 to make use of it.

    Check back for updates.

    Accidentally updated my CraftBukkit to build 271 and discovered that HeroChat will not work with it. Here is my version line:
    2011-02-07 10:19:15 [INFO] This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-0.0.0-360-gf5b151f-b271 (MC: 1.2_01)

    After which it spits out the following:

    SEVERE: null (Is it up to date?)

    This is on a clean install with no other plugins running and a fresh copy of HeroChat installed with no modifications done. (Set it up in my dev environment so I could do some testing). Now here is the funny thing, if I roll back to previous builds of CraftBukkit it will still continue to do this. I have rolled back as far as build #166 before I gave up and decided to come to the forums to see if anyone could help me figure out what exactly is going on.

    Try installing permissions.

    Okie dokie. I officially feel like a tool now. As when I had accidentally updated on the live server it was throwing that error with permissions installed. However, on the dev side I somehow completely missed installing it. Wow, thanks a ton. Now to figure out what was actually breaking.

    Just letting you know that if you assign a prefix with a "$" anywhere inside of it it will corrupt the group for the HeroChat plugin. It works with iChat strangely.

    Interesting, you do happen to have an error dump you could post?

    Sorry it took a bit. Was on my server exploring, and when I went to check my server log it wasn't in there so I changed my prefix back to the $.

    This only happens with the group with the $ prefix.

    Okay so I tried it again. Only loading Permissions and HeroChat. Seems that for some reason if I generate a new world it will work perfectly fine. However, if I attempt to use our current world then HeroChat spits out constant errors as seen below. From what I can tell it almost looks like something about build #271 seems to have done something wonky to the world files and something goes wrong after it loads it and then tries to move on to plugins. I have made sure that it is loading Permissions first and that it loads without any complaints about the config files. I have also put both config files in a yaml parser and they come out clean. Here is what it is spitting out:

    Could you post your config? After comparing the error with the code, it definitely looks like it's coming from a malformed configuration. Even if it's syntactically correct YAML, it could still lack something the plugin is looking for.

    Here is the pastebin of the HeroChat config file: http://pastebin.com/ucLKDKyD
    Here is the pastebin of the Permissions config file: http://pastebin.com/BM32SrBt

    And one thing to note, the weird line breaks aren't in there. I was copying/pasting off a terminal window so it formatted it weird.

    Aha! So after a lot of staring and head-scratching, I found the problem.

    Your last channel (Karast), has the messageFormat and options lines are intended once more than they need to be. Format those two lines just like in the other channels and it should work again.

    Wow, so I wasn't the only one that couldn't see it. My players will love you. Will donate again later. Glad to see plugin developers like you that provide massively great support for their plugins.

    Still love this plugin! <3

    Do you think you could put something like a 'World' Prefix option in? With the new multiworld support people might want to prefix chat with the world the user currently is in, or maybe even have world specific channels and such.

    Oh boy. This definitely sounds like something I want to do, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to mess with / experience the multiworld support yet. I have three other features I'd like to implement in the next week before I delve into multiworld support. So this isn't a no, just a not quite yet.

    Is there any way to define more than one local channel? We'd love to have some whipser (5 blocks range), some talking (20 blocks range) and some yelling (100 blocks range), but I can only set one "localdistance" at the end of data.yml. :)

    Keep up the great work. HeroChat is a very useful tool.

    This is definitely something I can add without much effort. I'll try to squeeze it in this week.
