[ADMN/CHAT/MISC] bInfo 0.5 - providing a universal prefix/suffix from SuperPerms nodes [1000]

bInfo
prefix/suffix based on SuperPerms permission nodes

Download 0.5
Github


About:
bInfo is designed to bridge the gap between boolean permissions and the need for a prefix suffix to be available to chat plugins. bInfo is designed for use with bPermissions but will work equally as well with any superperms manager - eg. BukkitPerms.


Plugin devs - how to implement:
Place this class in your source code.

Implement using this general idea.

Code:

Import com.ubempire.binfo.PlayerInfo;

public PlayerInfo infoservice;

onEnable() {
try {
    infoservice = getServer().getServicesManager().load(PlayerInfo.class);
      }
catch (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError e) {
    System.out.println("bInfo not installed!");
}
}

onPlayerChat(PlayerChatEvent event) {
Player myPlayer = event.getPlayer();
   String prefix = "";
if (infoservice != null)
    prefix = plugin.infoservice.getPrefix(myPlayer);
}

or as a provider copying this. KEEP THE NAMESPACE.

Code:

package com.ubempire.binfo;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public interface PlayerInfo {
    
    public String getPrefix(Player player);
    
    public String getSuffix(Player player);

    }

Server admins - how to setup:

Code:

groupname:
    prefix: '%RED%[ADM'
    suffix: '%BLUE%IN]'
    node: 'adm.in'
anotherexample:
     prefix: '[EXAM'
     suffix: '%BLACK%PLE]'
     node: "bInfo.anotherexample"

Color Codes

Code:

%AQUA%
%BLACK%
%BLUE%
%DARK_AQUA%
%DARK_BLUE%
%DARK_GREEN%
%DARK_PURPLE%
%DARK_RED%
%GOLD%
%GRAY%
%GREEN%
%LIGHT_PURPLE%
%RED%
%WHITE%
%YELLOW%
 

Plugins which use bInfo for prefix/suffix:

• CraftIRC3
• MCStats3
• bChat

wtf? really? though this does sound cool, i'll be refreshing this page every 5 minutes.

 

This is going to be the best thing that has ever happen if this actually is going to work! Info, specifically prefixes and suffixes for groups and users has kept me away from superperms.

 

Takes a couple of days to write seriously good documentation I'm afraid

It already works just writing the documentation atm!

 

Screw this B, work on modifying MC gravity

 

lol, get halo texture pack and turn speed up to 300 and gravity down to 25...it's halo 3 all over again,

 

what is this supposed to be? i am looking for a prefix plugin and this one is interesting,

 

finished the tutorials

 

\o/ copying ideas is awesome, this however is not that. So people who keep trying to say he is copying, stop.

 

Aww thanks Niji I didn't notice your post till now.
\o/

 

Fawk....I just finished coding something exactly like this...

 

No reason that we both can't have it - if you use the same way of providing the data that I do - we can start setting a standard interface for other plugins to use - while still giving the users the choice of how they want to get the data.

Coming soon - ChatColors!

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

 

@codename_B, could you please provide a command for reloading these:
public HashMap<String, String> playerPrefix = null;
public HashMap<String, String> playerSuffix = null;

Because if I change player's group the server needs a restart to prefixes/suffixes get into effect.

 

That's right on my to-do list.

You get to choose the command - it just needs a command name now - what would you like?

 

/binfo or /binfo reload would be fine

 

Alright. I'm just wanting to make sure I understand this correctly. I have 3 groups: Builder, Mod, Admin. So I need to make 3 group entries.

Is this correct:

Code:

Builder:
      prefix: ''
      suffix: ''
    node: 'builder'
Mod:
      prefix: ''
      suffix: ''
      node: 'mod'
Admin
     prefix: ''
     suffix: ''
     node: 'admin'

 

hi, i may have misunderstood exactly how to use this, but currently, my server works as if this assumption is right:

Inheritance in bPermissions is breaking this, meaning that every rank gets the 'User' group prefix permissions because they inherit them. How can i make higher ranks have more priority (in prefix permissions) than lower ranks?

I will play around a bit with this, but may have to go back to iChat... thanks for your help!

EDIT: Worked it out. For everyone else with this problem: the higher items in the config have more priority than lower ones. put admin at the top etc.

Recommend you add this more explicitly in the description

 

I just can't get it to work for me. Everytime I mess up the config of my bPermissions.
Could anyone provide me an example for bPermissions group config?

 

I found out a way to use bInfo and bPermissions to be able to give individual players colored names (Its a bit of a work around) but it seems as though when a player changes a group they retain their old prefix until the server is restarted. I am just curious if their is anyway for prefixs to change without a server restart, possibly by adding a /binfo reload command? Besides that the plugin works great!

 

Just say @codename_B post on the bPermissions bukkitdev page that prefixs/suffixs are now in bPermissions! http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/b...-no-more-binfo-prefix-suffix-now-built-in/#p2

 

agreed but alot of plugins dont support that plugin and only work with binfo... mcStats for exmple doesnt read groups from permissions, which might be more useful if it could, as i dont have a clue how to create the groups with this...

 

Am I the only one getting this error?

no, i have the same problem ¬¬

 

I have the same problem. Please correct this.

 

bInfo is not needed anymore whoever is having that problem. bPermissions now allows the prefixes and suffixes to be riht in that plugin. so for a permission node it would like something like
groups:
Admin:
- *
- prefix.0.admin
and if you wanted color, you would do %COLORHERE% before the text, like
groups:
Admin:
- *
- prefix.0.%RED%Admin

 

Ever figure it out? I'm currently using mcstats3, permissionsbukkit, and binfo, but no group data is shown on mcstats. bInfo just creates a file called " playerInfo.yml" containing "{}". There is no mention as to what to do, above, and no default config.yml with examples is created.

Update @jenks1999 : got it working.
(note: mcstats3 reads the "prefix")
example playerInfo.yml (needs to be stated above):

Code:

#Example playerInfo.yml
administrators:
    prefix: Admin
    suffix: ''
    node: jchat.prefix.administrators
moderators:
    prefix: moderators
    suffix: ''
    node: jchat.prefix.moderators
donators:
    prefix: donators
    suffix: ''
    node: jchat.prefix.donators

Will show "Admin" in mcstats3, providing the user has the "jchat.prefix.administrators" node.

 

It only seems to catch the group 1/2 the time...
