    Plugin Authors: How to hook into Permissions

    Permissions 2.x is being discontinued! 3.0 can be found HERE!!!


    I am discontinuing Permissions 2.x and leaving the project. Permissions is not going away though! Since 2.6 I have been working closely with another developer and added them to the team. For the past several version they have not only been assisting with 2.x but also doing a lot of the development of much anticipated 3.x. rcjrrjcr will be taking over as lead developer of Permissions from 3.x forward. I have full faith in them and after working closely with them on the development on the last few version and the next major version I feel that I am leaving this project in more than capable hands. I put way to much work into this project to just leave it with anyone, and this is one of the few programs that I am incredibly proud of.

    Many people will probably wonder why I am leaving again after taking over the project just a few months ago. I could quote drama and headaches, of which there were quite a few with this project. Unfortunately real life happens. Many people already know that I have been having medical issues here lately. Unfortunately while they have gotten better, they have not gone away. This coupled with other real life commitments, going to school full time, and starting up my own company, I am currently in the process of being laid off from work. At this point I have so much stuff going on in my life and am being pulled in so many directions that I am not able to get any work done on anything. This has lead to me missing commitments and letting people down on multiple things.

    Permissions is also a very high maintenance plugin that requires a lot of attention and time. Right now I am not able to devote that time and do not feel it is fair for me to try to continue to be the lead developer on it. I had originally thought that adding other members to the team would be helpful, but unfortunately this just lead to frustration for them and myself as I just was not able to commit to the project enough. Hence, 3.0 has been rewritten almost exclusively by rcjrrjcr with minimal contributions by myself.

    At this point I will be stepping away from the project to focus more on real life and to try to free up some time for other projects and to work with more individual like the wonderful HeroCraft Coding team to fulfill some commitments that I made to them a long time ago and sadly did not come through on. I feel that this is the best for all involved, both myself and the other Permissions developers, as well as the community who deserve someone who can contribute more time and attention to them and supporting them. I do not want to see Permissions end up like many other plugins with an absentee programmer and just slowly wasting away from a great plugin with a lot of potential to a headache with no support.

    I will still be active in the community, just not as much as not in the same way. I'm sure my server will be more than happy to have their head admin back and active again as well.

    Thank you and happy gaming.

    prefixes and suffixes aren't used by Permissions, Permissions just passes them to other plugins if they ask for them (iChat for instance)

    Changing the namespace is causing lots of issues. It isn't against bukkit policy to have "bukkit" in the namespace, rather it's against their policy to make it com.bukkit, org.bukkit, net.bukkit, etc.



    Given that the proper way to utilize Permissions is to Import the Permissions class(via the namespace) and cast a JavaPlugin to Permissions. your namespace change is breaking the plugin for everyone, and also providing no upgrade path for people who are using plugins that support the older version of permissions.



    I strongly suggest you revert that particular change.

    and as of today, all new recommended builds are going to reject your namespace if it has bukkit in it

    Latest recommended build is 440, this is the one plugins are being built against. 450 broke a bunch of plugins because the API changed, that's why there's recommended builds. You may still be having a problem given there's many others having problems as well, but the first step is to roll back to a recommended build to see if that resolves it.
     
  10. Using /permissions -reload all just brings the help info back up...

    Yea, I don't think I tested it enough last night. It didn't help I shouldn't be pushing changes to something when it's like 3am and I'm tired. I am actually reverting that change. I'm sorry about that, I really don't know what I was thinking as the change wasn't needed but for some reason I convinced myself that the namespace was flipped around and was actually com.bukkit.nijikokoun.Permissions instead of the way it is.

    Anyway, redownload 2.4 and everything should be fixed.

    @Springrolls In your console you should see the following two lines
    Code:
    2011-02-26 09:21:58 [INFO] [Permissions] version [2.4] (Phoenix) was Initialized.
    2011-02-26 09:21:58 [INFO] [Permissions] version [2.4] (Phoenix)  loaded
    Those denote that Permissions was actually initialized and then loaded. If you are not getting that then you are correct and Permissions is not loading and you need to make sure that the jar file is in your plugins directory. If you are getting that but getting some sort of error message then please post it.

    Unless I just completely missed something in my testing, the bridge should no longer be needed as of 2.3.

    Hello TheYeti,

    Can you give a sample configuration file ? Because I had Permissions v2.0 and his config.yml don't work with v 2.4 =/

    Thank you for your job [​IMG]

    I won't hold you being french against you. In fact here is a config file that I use on my test server: http://pastebin.com/Fq411Wgu Sorry about it being so sparce but I have to change commands and stuff so often in it for testing things that it doesn't do to have a huge file.

    That............doesn't make sense. Honestly, it really doesn't. If it's in the plugins/ folder then it should load.

    @bevso - That is because Essentials has discontinued support of Permissions. You either have to use Permissions 2.0 and an older version of Essentials from before they discontinued it or switch to GroupManager. I really wish they wouldn't do such arbitrary crap but unfortunately they did.

    @Springrolls - You may have the broken version of 2.4 it sounds like. Redownload 2.4 and try it then. I did something stupid and had broken everything temporarily.
