Plugin Authors: How to hook into Permissions​

Permissions 2.x is being discontinued! 3.0 can be found HERE!!!


I am discontinuing Permissions 2.x and leaving the project. Permissions is not going away though! Since 2.6 I have been working closely with another developer and added them to the team. For the past several version they have not only been assisting with 2.x but also doing a lot of the development of much anticipated 3.x. rcjrrjcr will be taking over as lead developer of Permissions from 3.x forward. I have full faith in them and after working closely with them on the development on the last few version and the next major version I feel that I am leaving this project in more than capable hands. I put way to much work into this project to just leave it with anyone, and this is one of the few programs that I am incredibly proud of.

Many people will probably wonder why I am leaving again after taking over the project just a few months ago. I could quote drama and headaches, of which there were quite a few with this project. Unfortunately real life happens. Many people already know that I have been having medical issues here lately. Unfortunately while they have gotten better, they have not gone away. This coupled with other real life commitments, going to school full time, and starting up my own company, I am currently in the process of being laid off from work. At this point I have so much stuff going on in my life and am being pulled in so many directions that I am not able to get any work done on anything. This has lead to me missing commitments and letting people down on multiple things.

Permissions is also a very high maintenance plugin that requires a lot of attention and time. Right now I am not able to devote that time and do not feel it is fair for me to try to continue to be the lead developer on it. I had originally thought that adding other members to the team would be helpful, but unfortunately this just lead to frustration for them and myself as I just was not able to commit to the project enough. Hence, 3.0 has been rewritten almost exclusively by rcjrrjcr with minimal contributions by myself.

At this point I will be stepping away from the project to focus more on real life and to try to free up some time for other projects and to work with more individual like the wonderful HeroCraft Coding team to fulfill some commitments that I made to them a long time ago and sadly did not come through on. I feel that this is the best for all involved, both myself and the other Permissions developers, as well as the community who deserve someone who can contribute more time and attention to them and supporting them. I do not want to see Permissions end up like many other plugins with an absentee programmer and just slowly wasting away from a great plugin with a lot of potential to a headache with no support.

I will still be active in the community, just not as much as not in the same way. I'm sure my server will be more than happy to have their head admin back and active again as well.

Thank you and happy gaming.

What version of Bukkit/Permissions are you using?

 

to new of one haha. forgot about that need to drop down a bit my server isnt going noff of 602 thanks for point that out to me I have stared at this so long Im forgetting the basics now

 

For some reason, I get an InvalidPluginException. It's so weird... because it's been doing this for a while now. Is it because JAva doesn't work on 64-bit systems?

 

Just wanted to say thanks for continuing development of the Permissions plugin. It's simple, and it works, which is why I like it Oh, and you have a static JAR download for us auto-updaters

 

What Permissions and Craftbukkit versions?

 

Nvm, I got it to work. My system was slightly changed when I updated, and the path variable wasn't set to java, so i set it back, and got it working.

 

Any way to make the permissions folder reflect the compatibilty with craftbukkit as we are getting new versions all the time? ..(IE: permissions[602].jar for use with permissions[602] folder containing the .YML)

 

Oh my, for goodness sake!
What in the sweet name of George W. Bush am I supposed to do here!
I don't speak the language of all that is good and sweet!
I don't know how to do a cherry-puff-pie thing!!!
I need this to fulfil some urgent and deep desires I have, but I'm seriously about to just forget it; it's bamboozling, I am frustrated, every instruction seems to be coded in hieroglyphics and doesn't tell me how to do a gosh-darned thing other than add prefixes, which, amusingly, are unable to satisfy my desire as they seem to not work either!
Please help me, I want to explore these new and exciting prefixes, and hopefully satisfy these dependencies that seem to be welling up everywhere!

Edited for Clarity. Some grammatical errors may remain.

 

How do I retrieve the player's group?

I used to do it as follows:

Code:

String group = MCDocs.Permissions.getGroup(player.getName());

But this no longer works.

 

First off, thank you for your hard work on this. Its really a big help to the community and makes my server function with it's intended gameplay.

Is there any way for me to toggle off or disable the "/me" function on my server? I've spent many hours researching this and am honestly surprised to have not found an answer. I'm fairly sure its part of the Bukkit general commands. Its currently prohibiting our server from taking the next step in faction specific gameplay. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

 

Aren't the configuration file suppose to be stored within the Permissions folder instead of the Plugin folder? Or was that intentional?

 

Shouting won't make people want to help you.

It's possible, but only if you have a plugin that redefines it. I believe CommandBook is one such plugin. I have no idea if any others do (not even 100% sure about CommandBook).

 

If you read the changelog I believe I specifically state that this will no longer work. This way of doing it was deprecated when Niji originally added multiworld support. I finally removed the deprecated code. You would need to do String group = MCDocs.Permissions.getGroup(player.getWorld().getName(), player.getName());

No this was not intentional. I forgot to add a path separator. I'm actually going to be pushing a fix later tonight I believe that changes this.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

...you did use the @Deprecated annotation, surely?

 

Yea, it was that way since at least 2.0 that i know of.

 

Cheers mate - much appreciated

 

I managed to find solution afterall. Indeed it was problem with iChat. I just had to edit the config so the group name wont apper only prefix+suffix if needed!

 

I was actually referring to the stock commands that come with a craftbukkit server. There is a whitelist command included in the set of general commands like time, give etc.

 

Unfortunately, the only way to allow permissions to be assigned to the vanilla Minecraft commands (which are /me plus the ones listed in /?) is to create a plugin defining the same command, which means you need to re-implement the functionality. The basic CraftBukkit commands (/plugin, /version, /reload) may or may not be susceptible to the same procedure.

Short answer: not possible


...funny, as soon as I finish writing the post, I get an idea of how to do it. <_< But that involves writing a plugin, so still not possible at this moment.

 

I am very much for this!.
Actually looking for it at this moment lol!
found a plugin that disables plugins, but that means me myself will loose my rights.
I just want the poor bastards to be able to /time set 0
Tired of hearing - clap on, and suggested I'd give op to someone, so I did, now he complains too, and soon we have a server full of ops that can "/stop"

atleast /tp and /time should be able to do fairly easy ?
time is very common, if you was able to start with that, and work your way through it I would donate 10 bucks to you!

 

Im kinda a really big newb at this but is there any way to make it so for certain plugins you dont need to type in EVERY command? It would take a VERY long time to type in every world edit and world guard command and many other plugins. Please Help

 

Hi, i'm kind of new to Bukkit and stuff, i got a server up and running, but, my question, i just downloaded this, but I really can't seem to get the hang of all these commands and stuff. Is there a noob guide for this somewhere? Would be much appreciated.

 

For /tp and /time you can just install plugins that do reimplement them. For example, CommandBook, General, or TelePlus.

@Ben Quincy: 'worldguard.*' should work for all permissions from WorldGuard. It'll work for most plugins, but probably not for WorldEdit.

 

Do i need to do the litle star thing?

 

Why would I put it there if you didn't?

Oh, and you need the quotes too.

 

That is not working for me curently. Is there any other way or am a inputing it wrong? when i go in the file and the groupd: then it goes Admin: then a few random lines then permisssions:'worldguard.*'
IS that right? I would copy and paste it but im using logmein because im not on my home computer.​

 

You need the list formatting. Look at other people's config files and how the lists of permissions start with a hyphen.

If you prefer to have all your permissions on one line, you could write "permissions: ['worldguard.*', 'general.*']" and so forth, but in this particular case it's probably not a good idea.

 

How am i able to look at someone elses? can you show me yours?

 

i have this problem (I have craftbukkit version 605)

Code:

17:23:31 [INFO] Invalid config file found and converted to proper name/format.
17:23:31 [INFO] [Permissions] (Phoenix) was Initialized.

and in the permission folder there isn't world.yml (or rename_ME.yml)
what i wrong?

 

People have posted theirs in the thread, and no I can't.

Nothing is wrong with your file. Even if there were, the message would be informing you that Permissions automatically fixed it for you, so you needn't worry in any case.
