Inactive [GEN/INFO] PlayerStatusSigns v0.6 - Have a sign tell you who is on and off [1.1-R7]

PlayerStatusSigns - Have a sign tell you who is on and off
Version: v0.6

PlayerStatusSigns (PSS) lets users create signs that will change when players log in, our, or go /afk.

PSS supports language translation: Simply edit the "lang" file to change anything PSS says..

PSS has been translated into French, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, and Polish.

• Download French lang file. - Thanks to @andreblue
• Download Brazilian Portuguese lang file. - Thanks to @Swish
• Download Dutch lang file. - Thanks to @Plancker
• Download German lang file. - Thanks to @DerET
• Download Spanish lang file. - Thanks to kevdama
• Download Polish lang file. - Thanks to @TGF (Also, check out TGF's readme for PSS, it puts me to shame for not having made one at all!)

PSS supports and is tested with PermissionsEx. PSS also supports default Bukkit Permissions! And will support any permissions plugin that does the same. PSS also tentatively supports Permissions 2.7.4 and 3.1.x, but is not tested against these.


Usernames 15 or 16 characters in length will not be colored in order to fit them on the sign.

To create a PSS sign: You must first have the appropriate permission (if a permissions plugin is being used), or have ops (if a permissions plugin is not being used).

Simply create a sign with "[PSS]" (without quotes) in the first line, and a player name in the second. If that player is currently online, you may use partial name matching, if they are not you must spell their exact name out completely and caps-correct.


A visual explanation:

If you translate this plugin I would be very grateful if you would send me your lang file so that I may share it with others in this post.

• Create signs to show when a player is on or off.
• Signs also track users who use /afk and have permission to do so.

PSS was suggested by @Parrothead

 

this is what i was talking about before.

 

Hmm... This seems to be a logic error, I'll look into it.

 

and another thing.
when people dont deesigante a name it turns out to be one person from our server. same person all the time.

i do not have craft bukkit 1060 because my major plugins i use are not compatible with that yet. so i dont knmow if its fixed or not.

 

too bad it seems there is still something not working with it, 2 signs 1 of them didnt update properly...
could be server restarting while being logged a reason ?

 

@NuclearW
hi cb 1060, the signs file isn't written to as it seems it is updating the timestamp of the signs and version file so to the time of the server restart. Any idea?

 

Source plz? For change the colors.

 

is it possible to change time of the plugin? because the time on the signs have 2 hours difference with the reality... can you help me plz?


sorry for my bad english :S

 

does it work with 1185 ?

Works on 1488?

 

I really need to rewrite this plugin, thanks for the bug report.

I have not tested it in any non-RB releases.

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

 

Ok

 

Hi,

any chance you update this? There are still problems with it not working after a reload, my signs file for example is still 0 bytes.

 

I need this updated , pwease.

I'll give you this cookie ( : : )

 

Hi, really nice plugin...but could you make it possible to allow custom date formatting?

a date like: 20.02.12 13:48 is trunked and the last digit is missing...we would like to only print out the date without the time

 

Hey,
awesome plugin it helps alot to let our players know how active are admins are Any chance of a update for it soon though?
Thanks

 

I get this error on startup

 

It's on my list.

 

Nice looking forward to be able to have it on my server again

 

Updated to the new event system, still needs a rewrite desperately.

 

Yay Yay Yay! just gonna put it on my server and give it a go

 

Far from the total re-write it might need, v0.6 contains many internal changes to fix me being a n00b when I first wrote this.

In addition, it actually loads things properly now! So things like "multiple signs per user" should actually work now.

 

I really love this plugin! Thx for making!
It works fine with 1.2.3-R0.2 !! +1


If you can add that more then 1 user can be listed at one sign would be fine. Only the color show, if the user is online or offline.
red=offline
green=online

 

This is, amazing. No longer do noobs ask for admins! READ THE SIGNS NOOBS! XD

Glad you like it

That isn't really easy to do with how it works now, so I gotta say it probably isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future.

 

Awesome Plugin, works with 1.2.3 beta. But theres a Small Problem, When you add people with 14/15 character names, they dont get the green/red/yellow color. could you make the player names to have no color?

 

As I said in the OP names that are 15 or 16 characters long won't be colored to fit the name on the sign.

What is it you are asking it to do?

 

Thanks for updating this, NuclearW. It's still displayed prominently in my spawning area .

 

It would be nice if there was an option to not color the names.

 

As in never color the names at all?
