    Just wondering, will we ever be able to make a custom skin for each NPC,
    or is it in there already?
    P.S. can I have a list of which name's have Skins built in?

    Guys, a very useless issue. I got my instance of plugin up and runnin', but it seems it bugged out a little. I've been using Citizens in conjunction with iConomy for many decades, but I never encountered message, containing "Economy plugin is not enabled". I got stubbord, because my configuration file clearly states the opposite. I've been trying to re-install Citizens and iConomy. At first that helped, but after 2 or 3 restarts, "/trader money" started acting crazy. I tried running the plugin in debug mode, but it seems no errors occur during the gaming process. Moreover, Citizens DOES find economy plugin, but in the end it just f*cks up. I am using a lot of other plugins:
    AntiHack.jar HawkEye.jar PlayerEditor.jar
    ATM.jar Help.jar PorteCoulissante.jar
    Backup.jar HeroChat.jar RetractableBridge.jar
    BinarySkates.jar iConomy.jar SignLift.jar
    BukkitUpdater.jar ItemDetector.jar Spout.jar
    ChairCraft.jar Jail.jar Tables.jar
    ChatterCraftPlugin_v0.9.3.jar LWC.jar Towny.jar
    Citizens.jar MCDocs.jar TownySpout.jar
    ColoredSigns.jar MCMA_compat.jar VisualControl.jar
    CommandBook.jar MinequeryPlus.jar Waypoints.jar
    DispNameChanger.jar MobArena.jar WorldEdit.jar
    DoorShield.jar MobileAdmin.jar WorldGuard.jar
    Flup.jar NoRegen.jar
    Freezer.jar Permissions.jar

    What could cause that sort of issue?
    CB Build 1060, Citizens Build 1.0.9d

    I tried to add the citizens 1.0.9d again, and I've got the same problem as I had last week.
    Issue: NPCS randomly despawns. No form for error or any other message shown.

    Add single quotes around that select-items configuration node in citizens.yml.

    @alryaz
    What order are your plugins loading in the console?

    A few pages back, I made mention of a method to help force a load order by prefixing your jar files with a number sequence, like this:

    00_iconomy.jar
    01_permissions.jar
    Etc

    If iConomy doesn't load before Citizens, the citizens plugin has to assume it doesn't exist. You may have trouble with other plugins that rely on a load order as well, unless you rename them.

    @Mohammad
    Don't fret! The bridge plugin should keep most if not all of your current plugins working, even after the transition to the integrated permissions system.
    You're going to see almost all the plugin devs migrating to the new model for permissions soon. Bukkit's got you covered in the meantime, so it's not going to be a nasty fall into something awful, at least they have a method in place to gently ease things along.

    I just looked at some of the commits. I'm pretty damned excited.

    Will it be hard to convert from the older version to the coming update? Any chance of loosing old NPCs?

    aPunch

    You will need to delete all of your configuration files and let the regenerate. We made lots of changes to those files that could break if you keep your old files. However, you won't need to remove anything from your npc-profiles.yml (at least not at this point), so all of your NPCs should be safe.

    I don't know about all that. I still see devs balking and one even pulling out support for it. I made the move early and got burned because one of the devs of a core plugin didn't want to touch it and it wasn't playing nice with his plugin. I'm still not sure he has.

    I'm not running back to PermissionsBukkit just for this plugin. I use it to make silly NPCs say silly things. I can't think of anything else it does that I can't get elsewhere and it too has burned me in the past with disappearing data and hilariously-poorly-designed upgrades.

    Earn it first.

    Hi there everyone,
    A friend of mine and me are making an awesome server that will blow everyone's mind ^^
    But for it to look believeable we'd want to use custom skins for the citizens.
    Now my question is the following:
    Is there a way that we could adapt the plugin to not search for the skins on the minecraft site but on.. let's say our own site? That way we could put our skins up there and people would see skins we made.

    We both don't have java knowledga but do have some scripting knowledge so before we start learning java I'd like to know if this would be even possible to do.
    Already thanks for reading this ^^ CUlater -Element_

    It is possible, though it would require modifying the client code.

    ummm now that everubody is speaking of skins is there other way to store like custom skins on the server.. Ive' been maintaining a server here in our little net cafe consists of 20 units though players here and specially kids like to play minecraft. CITIZENS is the best pluggin I have encountered so far and the only problem I have encountered guards don' t attack evil NPCS hahahahah, they attack other mobs though but I like to suggest sumtin to the incoming release... can guys put like a 100% blacklist script on guards like detecting the exact name so that guards have the ability to attck evil npcs and Human monsters. and also the ability to auto blacklist a player when that npc is abbused by a plyer. example: NOOB player attcks guard 5 times auto blacklist enabled so guard retaliates NOOB player everytime he is on NPC's radius! hahaha kinda cool.....

    creepycreeper

    So, isn't disappearing NPC's a big issue here?

    Also, for the 2nd time, what do you mean by removing 'single quotes' in the citizens.yml?

    EDIT:

    Also, for the despawning issue, how do I fix it?
     
  27. Offline

    d00ba

    It means remove the the single quotes in citizens.yml..

    EG
    look: '4' ----> look: 4
    You don't fix the despawning issue, it's a bug.

    Still using version 1.0.9c, waiting on 1.1 then gonna do a fresh install. Hope its coming soon :)

    Ok thanks for answering that fast ^^
    How does the code now go on finding the skin?
    Becouse if you say that the client side should be modified, you guys must be using code that is already inside minecraft for looking up skins.
    If that is the case then the only way to make what I want is to wait for propper minecraft multiplayer mod support :(

    Feel free to use some scripting terms as you answer, I can handle it ^^

    Which core plugin was that? Essentials?

    Not that it's my place to argue, but these guys (Citizens team) are actually putting the effort in to comply with what the Bukkit team is pushing out. If other developers don't want to put the effort or work that's involved with changing things to meet the standard that Craftbukkit requires, shouldn't we be upset with non-compliant devs, rather than those who are working towards the common goal?

    I understand the resistance to change, both on an admin's part (mine) to run your server to support the integrated permissions, and a developer's part, as you really have to rewrite your plugin to support the new hooks. However, if that's the direction that things are going, and it's for the better (in the long run it actually means LESS work for everybody, especially developers) then why dig in your heals?

    I haven't moved my server over to the new system yet, but I will upon next official bukkit update. I have dozens of plugins installed, and I would say at least a fourth of them already support the new permissions system, have a check in place to discover it, and work fine without it right now using Permissions 3.x.

    That's fine, nobody is saying you have to. aPunch, fullwall and crew are just saying that going forward, they'll be developing the plugin using the built-in permissions, so if you want the updates... then you'll have to, or if bukkit is upgraded and breaks the old functionality, whichever comes first.

    Citizens isn't the ONLY plugin that's moving toward the newer system, and the point is that if developers want to balk... they can. Right now the only discussion on the table is that Bukkit is rolling this out, later they'll talk about 3rd party permissions support or not. However, it's certainly not the fault of the Citizens Developers that this move is coming. If you want to be upset, the place to do that is with the bukkit team.

    On top of all that, writing plugins isn't easy, and every one of them have some issues along the development path. I'm sure these guys have a day job too, donations probably aren't paying all the bills at home.

    All that said, I'm not saying things are going to go smoothly with this whole Permissions debacle, it will probably take a lot of work on everyone's part.
    An adage I have found myself repeating, both at work and in my leisure (yes, I run a server for fun, and for free... I get nothing out of it aside from that) is "An admin's work is never done." Yes, I'm going to have to upgrade, yes it means a bunch of reconfiguration, but at least I don't have to write my own plugins to get the functionality I desire... nice folks like these do it for free or donations. This comes at only the price of control; this is their project, not mine, and they're going to take it in a direction that makes sense for them.

    I tried using this with 1060, but whenever I try to use the NPCs, they give me that crazy error where everything is free and then they spam me with "only one person can be served at a time!" I think someone already stole a pig spawner off one of the traders. :'(

    So, in my love for Citizens, I shall eagerly await the latest update. Although my server feels sooooo naked without my NPCs. x_x

    I'd try the dev build, but the world "unstable" scares me.
