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

Thanks! Let me know what you think.

 

I ran my server with Essentials alone, and it worked, as soon as I installed Pail, this started happening:

Code:

Any way to fix this?

 

.... RB 1060, is it so hard to read?

 

I'm using build 1060 o.o

 

Then you wouldn't be getting that error.

 

if you can give me a list with all english words, buttons, commands (i forgot the right world for this -.-), maybe a language file, i'll try to translate it to german. (am i too stupid to find a list/file in this page or is there no?)

 

Any chance you can added an auto-backup for the world & configuration files to Pale as well as have it generate a broadcast chat message to indicate to the users that the server is backing up? This is a nice feature of SimpleServer but I prefer your shell much better.

 

@dockter I'm currently working on a backup and task scheduler system which should be included in the next major release.

 

Could you maybe include a tab in the GUI for world management, I keep trying different plugins (wwarp, multiverse, ect...) to delete world, and they only re spawn again at server start up...... It would be so nice to press a button and watch it disappear.

 

@Ajster1989
@feildmaster's pailplus plugin has this planned I believe.

 

I did't know he had any plugins till you just told me this. I'm trying to get my server up by the first of the year, and Pail is what made it possible for me... thanks!

[edit]

Is his plugin available yet? his blog doesn't say...

 

@Ajster1989 He has it up on BukkitDev.

 

As soon as support for remote hosted servers is added, you will have another server Admin using this (if it does what i believe it does when plugins support it)

 

@microskies Hopefully that'll be soon! I've had a plan laid out for it, but frankly it's going to be a large amount of work so I'm trying to get out all the smaller features pre-1.0 and tackle that when I have more time. It's still projected to be in the first non-beta (1.0) release however.

 

Sorry if this has been asked already, I searched.
Is there anyway to start up the server without the default command prompt coming up? Just pail?
I see the potential in this though, trying it out now, no errors.

 

@FrAz No, but you can still minimize/hide/whatever.

 

Thanks for answering.^
@escape do you think it would ever be possible though?

 

@FrAz Not from within the plugin, but you could try using this

 

I'll be implementing basic management, but I should be able to do this at some point.

 

I have a problem when using it on Ubuntu 11.04
screenshot:
as u can see the bottom won't show and i can't resize.

 

Using 0.7.1?

 

Looks like you need to update.

 

Well until then I just decided to start with a black server, copy my worlds over...
I am waiting till I am done building my servers home worlds before I go crazy on programming permissions.
So there is minimal set up to get back what i need for now.
Keep up the hard work guys, thanks

 

would it be possible to add option to always use say whentyping in command box?

 

@maciak I've been thinking about having a shortcut to toggle that so possibly.

 

That's an easy fix. I was actually going to put that in earlier.

 

Great I'll be waiting for this ^^

 

Well, I would, except that the error was from your plug-in not CbutD. It was YOUR save button that caused the error not CbutD, so fix your error.

 

Want to try that again? At the time you posted this, we didn't have a "Speichern" button.

And yet some more proof:

I would assume that they put a bad implementation for saving their options. I'm not sure why they hooked into escapes UTIL, that probably could have been avoided.

I will also add, I have used CbutD (in testing), so I know what button you are talking about.

 

Is there an ETA I can give my admin team for remote server support? I suspect Pail will become a standard plugin when this is added.
