[ADMN/CHAT/FUN] StruckDown v1.5 - Stop annoying questions with a bang. [953]

StruckDown - Stop annoying questions with a bang and more
Version: v1.5
Static JAR: StruckDown.jar

As a server admin or mod, it can get annoying to be constantly asked to give items or to change the time. StruckDown allow you to set a list of words/phrases that when chatted, the offending player will be struck with lightning. Not to worry though, you can protect yourself with a Permissions node! Please post any errors or ideas that you have! Special thanks to @DjDaemonnl who gave me the idea for this plugin! Also I wanted to give a special thanks to @Adamki11s who was always willing to help me fix an error that I could not figure out, check out some of his plugins because they are always great!

Features:

• Searches for words and phrases that you specify in the properties file
• Supports Permissions
• Strikes down any offending players
• Will kill them unless they can find water and douse the fire on them
• Customizable message to offenders
• Reload config files in game via command
• Can be case sensitive or non case sensitive
• CraftBukkitUpToDate support
• Punish System
• Disable on specified worlds
• Control the amount of damage from lightning strike

IMPORTANT - Watch the video below so that you can understand the new punish system! Documentation will be coming soon!


Default "settings.properties" File

Code:

#This is the settings file for StruckDown
MSG:You have been struck down for your insolence!
CENSOR:false
CASE_SENSITIVE_CHAR:^|^

MSG = It is the text that is sent to the offender when he gets struck with lighting.
CENSOR = When true it cancels the offender chat event preventing anyone from seeing what the offender said.
CASE_SENSITIVE_CHAR = When put in front of an entry in the "struckdown.properties" file, it checks each chat for the word/phrase with Case Sensitivity.

Example "struckdown.properties" File

Code:

#Write words or phrases that will result in strike on each line
make it day
fUn
^|^WHAT
#day
make&&it&&night
Can you&&give&&me

make it day = When found in a chat it will strike the sender
fUn = Will be searched with non case sensitivity
^|^WHAT = If ^|^ was the CASE_SENSITIVE_CHAR in the "settings.properties" file, this would be searched for with case sensitivity
#day = Will not be searched because it is commented out.
make&&it&&night = Will search for any chat that has the words make, it and night in any order
Can you&&give&&me = Will search for any chat that has the phrase can you and the words give and me in any order
Remember that you can mix and match search parameters. (Example: ^|^YoU&&are&&stupid = YoU will be searched with case sensitivity, but are and stupid will be searched with out case sensitivity)

Punishments
NOTE: Please watch the video at the top of this thread!

That would not work with my punishment system. Sorry! . I like the idea though!

 

What about a remove option in game, like if one of my admin miss-spells something like /struckdown remove [word]

EDIT: Also /StruckDown list


also:
What about short cuts like:

• /sd /StruckDown
• /sda [word] /StruckDown Add
• /sdr [word] /StruckDown Remove
• /sdre /StruckDown Reload
• /sds [name] /StruckDown Status
• /sdv /StruckDown Version

 

Ill add it to the todo

but Ill use

• /sd /StruckDown
• /sd a [word] /StruckDown Add
• /sd r [word] /StruckDown Remove
• /sd re /StruckDown Reload
• /sd s [name] /StruckDown Status
• /sd v /StruckDown Version

 

Beautiful!

 

Love the new changes - have updated my server but haven't had a chance to configure it yet.

Did notice that I keep getting the console message "<admin name> is protected from StruckDown." - this occurs on every chat message, whether it contains a forbidden world/phrase or not. Can you chance this to show only when the plugin would have actually punished you (otherwise it just makes my server.log harder to read)?

 

I'll look in to that, I will also add a setting to turn that off all together. I will have that update out tomorrow morning!

 

What's with the "Updating Punish List" that it keeps spitting out every 10 minutes?

Is that really necessary?

 

Next version will remove that, it was a part of the debuging process that I forgot to remove.

 

Awesome! It really fills up the log with unnecessary lines...

 

Yah, I know, I am working hard getting out 2 updates for this and MineMail, but I have exams this week so I dont have a lot of time

 

Can't believe nobody's noticed or complained about this, but the permissions node is not "struckdown.protect" as stated in the documentation, but rather "struckdown.protected." Have to dig into the .class files to figure this out, but it's been working great ever since. Of course now I have 20x as much "<user> is protected" messages clogging up my log, but I know that's going to be fixed in the upcoming release. I really love this plugin, alta. It has thrown one of my server's most obnoxious members into fits of paranoia when we added the smiley "xD" to the struckdown list. Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks for that, sorry didnt notice that, yah it will be fixed. expect the update this Saturday Sorry for the wait, I have exams the rest of the week

 

Update alerts are dangerous Case in point: restarting even just reloading the plugins on my server causes it to go down for a few minutes whilst I assume Struckdown attempts to contact a remote server which isn't responding.

Can I at least have an option to disable this? I much prefer looking for updates myself.

 

I am removing it in a new update. Sorry didn't now much about this, I was just trying to add more features. I am for sure releasing an update tomorrow.

 

How can u use several Minecraft clients like you do in the video? Seems handy when you want to try permissions and stuff

 

I just open several Minecraft instances. Since my test server is running in offline mode, I can enter in the wrong password and play in offline mode. That makes your username just Player.

 

Hmm. I am using Mac and when I try to open another instance of Minecraft it just pops up the one already running. Any ideas?

 

Maybe download another minecraft and open that one?

 

It worked with just copying the Minecraft application and opening the copy. Thanks alot!

This is turning into be very off topic. Could a mod please separate my and @alta189 discussion into a new thread?

Anyhow, when I connect with the other instance of Minecraft it kicks me after 5 secs with the message "You moved to quickly, hacking?". Anyone knows how to fix this?

I solved this temporarily by downloading the DontKickMe plugin.

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

 

how can I fix this? It gives me this message like every 5 minutes..

Code:

23:11:18 [INFO] [StruckDown] Something is wrong with the Offenders list, please notify alta189!

PLEASE HELP!

 

@alta189

Finally sat down and watched that video. A few comments at the top of the punish.properties file would help

Works well but doesn't work with words censored by the "SimpleCensor" plugin. Does your plugin work on the lowest priority (or perhaps simple censor also works on the lowest priority and censors the words first)? Also the "Updating punish list" and "user is protected" (after every chat message, not struckdown) messages get annoying.

Great plugin and look forward to seeing updates.

 

I will try to get time to update it tonight,

 

still lovi'n it!

 

Hey, I was about to install this but the dropbox file justs 404's... You probably exceeded the dropbox limit.

Could you put it somewhere else? MediaFire, GIT, I don't know, but I want it!

 

I will soon dont have it one the computer that I am on now. Give me an hour or two sorry

 

Would it be too much to ask for regular expression support?

I'd like to match based on something like

/^rbos$/i to match any line containing only 'rbos' and nothing else case-insensitively (^ matches beginning, $ matches end)

or you could advanced things, like \d+ to match any string of 1 or more digits, \b to match word boundaries, \s to match whitespace .. that would be fantastic.

 

Fixed it

As sad as this sounds, I don't know much about "regular expression"

 

Might be worth reading up on, they're extremely powerful for text parsing and Java probably has libraries for matching them, so it might be easy.

Any tip on how I might accomplish that ZOT for people who spam my name in chat? it's not obvious from the documentation.

 

^|^rbos

 

What am I doing wrong that's causing the && to behave like an OR?
