Inactive [ADMN/DEV] Pail v0.7.5 - The simplest and most extensible Bukkit GUI [1.0.1]

Pail​

The interface for and by the people​

​

What is it?​

Pail is a Java swing Graphical User Interface designed specifically for bukkit.​

​

Why is it different?​

• Pail is written as a plugin, meaning the same, simple drag-and-drop install server owners have come to know.
• Pail uses pure Java and no external libraries, eliminating the need for any dependencies.
• Pail is designed for bukkit servers, allowing more control than any vanilla server GUI.
• Pail is extensible! Other plugins can hook into Pail to add their own interfaces, creating a single place for server admins to manage their server and players.
• Pail is completely cross-platform.

What can other plugins do?
Pail opens up many opportunities for plugin developers to take advantage of. Plugins can be written solely to add functionality to Pail, or Pail support can be integrated easily into existing plugins. Just imagine being able to edit your permissions groups, view server performance, or manage your world's economy all from a single interface!

===============================​

​

For Developers:​

You can start developing for Pail now! The API currently consists of several methods for adding your components to the interface. To add a tab for your plugin to the Pail GUI, pass the title of your plugin's tab and the JPanel containing your interface to:​

Code:

PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
((Pail)pm.getPlugin("Pail")).loadInterfaceComponent("Title", new JPanel());

For more method descriptions, the JavaDoc is available here.

Installation:
Just drop Pail.jar into your plugins folder. That's it!

Features:

• Convenient access to player related functions
• Interface for editing server settings
• Command buffer to recall recent console commands by pressing up and down
• Waypoint system for teleporting players
• Searchable console (with regular expression support)
• Much more!

Commands:

• Pail - Reopens the Pail GUI through the console

Well I'm disappointed, but glad the discussion happened at least.

I guess my dream would have been to automatically push the admin interface to people with the appropriate permissions: For instance someone logs in with SpoutCraft (and nothing more) and, because they are in the semi-admins group they have the ability to see a few of the pages (but not all) which Pail presents. This would be activated in a way similar to the Steam overlay (shift-tab or similar).

Maybe it'll be possible somewhere down the road....

Thanks for the replies, guys. (and the plugins!)

 

@GatsbyTheGreat It may indeed be possible sometime in the future, but not at this point due to the limitations of both Pail and SpoutCraft.

When remote support is finished however, all your admins will need to do is have their own copies of pail and simply log into your server. As for assigning permissions, it most likely won't be included in the initial version but possibly at a later date.

 

Yeah that's what I assumed. That way makes much more sense. Potentially down the line you could make a dumbed down version in-game but I don't 100% see the point.

 

One less thing to download, one less thing to run, presenting only the options relevant to the end user and changing server-to-server. That would be the point. What I'm hearing from you guys is that it would be a real pain to implement, so nevermind for now I guess.

Thanks again for your work (both teams). Sorry if I'm coming across as just another whiny non-contributor. (If I knew anything about Java I'd help out!)

 

We'll start with the built-in support then build out from there. Maybe a web app, maybe an app with just the necessary files, maybe spout, maybe something else. Who knows of the future.

 

Hi,
The translation into German is not very good.
But there are many German users, which use the Bukkit server.

I'm from Switzerland and I can help you with this translation (if you want).
But I do not know how I can help you...

regards 12pasha21

 

The translation is being worked on, it will be fully translatable to any language in language files. This will actually be a bit of a hacky job, and only translate standard words.

 

Ok
At the moment, the German translation is almost unusable.

 

I know. Google API is bad. But it was the quickest solution.

My server stops loading here when I try to use the Pail 1.7.2. I've tried it with all my plugins and without. I've deleted the Pail folder and tried it but it always ends up stopping here.
I'm using the new recommended craftbukkit build.

 

@escape : You released it still having that bug?

 

@feildmaster It didn't happen for me in testing.

EDIT: Just launched the server 10 times and experienced the bug once.

 

It happened to me 80-90% of the time without a folder, and 10% of the time with the old config files.

 

@feildmaster
Strange, I just deleted the folder and it worked. I've always suspected this was a threading issue though.

 

That's why i said 80-90%. When I pushed it, it worked every time. But after that it glitched up again.

 

@feildmaster Just ran it several times with a fresh install, no folder each time and didn't get it.

 

Odd... Maybe a windows error. Version of java?

 

Server just freezes on a first run:

Directory Pail has been automatically created with 2 files inside:
panels.dat
tasks.dat

CB1185

 

@GregRUS : Being looked into. For some reason basic codes aren't working correctly.

 

This plugin looks amazing! Sadly I am not able to use it, as it fails to load.

 

how long i need this plugin

 

@feildmaster I'm on java build 1.6.0_26-b03-384-10M3425. I'll try taking pack() out completely and see what that does. As they say "There's only 3 kinds of bugs in the world. My bugs, your bugs, and threads.".

@wieljer It's a known bug we're looking into.

 

For my post above, this just showed up

I just uploaded a new version, see if that helps.
