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

It's not loading max-players correctly for you.

@escape : You should load the values through getServer().

 

im away right now so I won't be able to code until Sunday so if everyone could create bug reports on github it'll allow me to get to it faster when I get back.

 

Does max-players=24 in server.properties work? Or do I need something else to fix that?

 

@Hubok : It's supposed to work, let me see if I can make heads or tails of the config to patch it.

 

Is there a list of any plugins that currently use this?

 

I think I made the post too long here is a shorter version

that make it easier?

 

It's because your craftbukkit version is "null". are you using rb 1000?

 

@escape : Okay, I'm going crazy. How did you get

Code:

private me.escapeNT.pail.GUIComponents.TabActivationPanel tabActivationPanel;

in SettingsPanel.java

Every one of my attempts to do that, besides the dreaded "edit in notepad," seems to produce this for me:

Code:

plugins = new PluginsPanel();
private JPanel plugins;

(only have been able to set equals)

EDIT: I guess you manually modified the file. I got it now. ^^

On a good note, I put a couple issues on git. (One of them is a discussion)

I also applied a few patches (that I have tested on my pail).

EDIT: By the way, you can delete "build" from git as well. (Not needed)

i kept very basic essentials for my server atm to try and get this to work, plz help its a good plugin.

 

@dzordo There will be a fix for this in the new version coming out later today.

 

Thanks

 

0.3.2 is now out and addresses the bugs brought up in the last few days.

 

Hey. I like that Could u add a config file to change the layout? Thanks

 

Excellent plugin for a GUI mate. I just switched from Crafty 0.7.5 to this version of yours, very lean and efficient. Keep the the good work.

Also had one suggestion, can you make a config where you can tell the GUI where the spawn is, instead of the default map spawn. So when I teleport people, they go to the spawn I choose with X Y Z instead of the vanilla spawn. Let me know what you think.

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

 

If you use another plugin to set the world's spawn it should send them there but if you need to send them to a specific position, I'm thinking of adding a system where you could add your own predefined waypoints to the list to choose from.

 

Awesome plugin!!!! Great job!

 

That will be in advancedpail.

 

I have Pail on my Bukkit server (v.1000) and i see you run a Mac and a screenshot shows that you have a "Server Control" tab AND a "Settings" tab. I run Windows XP and I don't see a "Settings" tab, only a "Server Control" tab. Otherwise, though this works great, and it is so much better than the command prompt. it even integrates with CraftBukkitUpToDate!! Amazing GUI man!

 

@0xDEADMEAT : Please include errors. (Though I kind of know what happens)

try reloading/restarting a couple times. The settings does have a way of messing up sometimes.

 

hello im just wondering what the teleport function is for when you right click on a player because when i use it i get this error!

Does this cause problems with a server wrapper such as Simple Server Wrapper?
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/309373-software-simpleserver-wrapper-823-173/

 

Do i have to run both of the GUI?

 

what do you mean?

 

I mean do i have to use the Run.bat and Pail
Edit: Sorry didn't know what it was called. My question is can i use Pail without the console open

 

@YellowFellow Yes you have to use your run.bat

Or you could set it up so the bat runs virtually... But I wouldn't recommend that. (Nor will I tell you how)

 

haha thanks for the info nice plugin easy to use

 

;D Now to actually make it work before school starts. Then I have to complete AC: Brotherhood. DAmn my weekends suck.

 

@Styx Reborn : Very nice.

 

@escape I am LOVING this!

 

I agree that depending on remote toolkit would be bad for the future, and since it's a wrapper and a plugin, might be bad for your design, but I wonder if there isn't some way to tap into rtoolkit if its around, but ignore it if it's not around or becomes incompatible. If not, I wonder if there can be an addon wrapper/plugin combo that does nothing but remove the server console and put its console into a tab in your plugin. That would keep the best feature of this, which is that it's a plugin, but allow it to act like it's not a plugin for the one thing a wrapper would be better at. Cool plugin!
