[GEN] PlgEssentials v5.0 - time, give, tp, tphere, etc. [1.4]

PlgEssentials - Essential commands for Plague's server:
Version: v5.0

I made this plugin for my own private server to have some basic commands under control.

As in all my plugins, you can now edit the name of commands in plugin.yml.

This will never support any permissions system, it is aimed at people using ops.txt.
If you want them, there is a fork called AdminCmd.

Commands:
/time day|night|dusk|dawn|<raw> OR /day
/i OR /item (id|name) [count] [damage] [player]
/tp (player)
/s OR /tphere (player)
/playerlist
/location OR /loc
/c OR /color (colorid|colorname)
/more
/msg (player) (private message)
/strike [player]
/weather (off|calm|rain|snow|storm) [duration]
/mob (name)
/repair
/setmode (survival|creative|s|c)

Note: the creature names for /mob are CamelCase (e.g. Chicken, PigZombie). I *have* reasons for that, sorry.

the /i and /item thing still does not work for other players.

 

it should: /i stone 1 0 Rodle26
if it doesn't please report and do you get the item or is it just not given to anyone? does the console report something?

 

I wasn't typing the damage in the command. Thank you.

 

@Plague will you add /weather rain, snow ?

 

Well since I am running my plugins on my server I will definitely want to control the weather.
But it depends on bukkit if it will give me API for that.

 

Okay.

 

@Plague you can add weather control i think because ive seen this http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-weathercontrol-v0-1-control-the-weather-699.13855/ i hope youll do

 

thanks for the link, i"I WANT the command to be in plgessentials, don't worry

 

Okay good to hear

 

Okay, weather is in, but I'm not updating the main post since you should stay on 1.4 until bukkit gets recommended.

Testing releases:
Normal
OPs

Code:

/weather (calm|rain|snow|storm) [duration]
/strike [player]

/weather sets the weather to sunny or rainy/snowing or storm (rain/snow + lightning), duration is in seconds (default 5minutes for bad weather, 15m for good one)

/strike strikes a player with lightning, if no player given, it strikes where your crosshair is.

 

Added DISABLING OF WEATHER

Testing releases:
Normal
OPs

Code:

/weather off

/weather off stops all weather changes and switches to sunny (normal) weather. After using any other /weather commands, weather is enabled again.

Please test.

Official version is out, enjoy!
It's the same as last testing version, no need to redownload.

I tried looking into the jar file if it came with an item table or something (as getting stone stairs or wooden halfsteps is a pain). I have no idea how I can find out the block names for the more complex ones.

 

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Data_values#Block_IDs
just replace spaces with underscores, like "diamond_pickaxe"

 

I tried out the weather commands and they work great except that when I set it to storm, random blocks of snow start to appear everywhere.

-Phea

 

Well storm starts also bad weather - rain/snow. Whether it is rain or snow is determined by the biome you are in. And in snow biomes (where it snows) the weather automatically regenerates snow on ground.

There can be no error on my side since I only start the weather. Even bukkit cannot do this, because it only starts weather in minecraft. The problem is your world. Either it got badly edited or generated or you have snow biomes somewhere where you do not think they should be, but that's about it.

 

Any idea why, even after changing the slash-command for teleporting... it overrides Bukkit's original /tp command?

I liked just /tp Player1 (to) Player2. =(

Had a load of damn fun, with the lightning /strike command... until I screwed up, and made a typo, thus letting my friend know that it wasn't just "random, but incredibly accurate" lightning, rather... me spamming him with it. =(

Other than the annoying way of teleporting (annoying, to me, as I prefer the original way... which seems to not function, with this plugin installed,) this plugin is really fun, thanks to the /strike command... as well as very useful, for the /day, and /weather commands. XD

So, big thanks, for it. (Also - Thanks for the "cold lightning" plugin. Means I can chase people down, with lightning - wherever they are - and not worry about burning things down. =D

 

Even if you edit the plugin.yml and remove the alias "tp"?

 

Even so, yes. I changed it to a totally different command, with no likeness, even, to "/tp," but still interfered with the regular/original /tp command. >_<

Getting used to your teleport commands, though. They ARE quicker... I'm just more used to the old style. XD

Love the plugin, though. I managed to trick my friend, again, and he now doesn't think I was controlling the lightning... more fun to be had. =D

 

/msg command seems to omit blank spaces on messages.

I would also like to know how does the /tp command work.

Thanks for your support.

UPDATE

I have fixed it myself using Eclipse and programming in Java for the first time in my life. The problem was inside PlgEssentialsWorker.java (line 173):

Code:

public boolean playerMessage(Player player, String args[]) {
        Player buddy = player.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
        if (buddy != null) {
            String msg = "[" + ChatColor.RED + "private" + ChatColor.WHITE + "] <" +
                            player.getDisplayName() + "> ";
            for (int i = 1; i < args.length; ++i)
                msg += args[i] + " ";
            buddy.sendMessage(msg);
            player.sendMessage(msg);
        } else
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Player " + ChatColor.WHITE + args[0] + ChatColor.RED + " not found!");
        return true;
    }

I just added an space to the msg variable inside the for loop and it fixed it for me. I guess there are more elegant ways to do it, but this made the trick for me. I also changed the way the nickname is displayed on private messages.

In conclusion:
/msg DoodoM hi, how are you?
then: [private] DoodoM - hi,howareyou?
now: [private] <DoodoM> hi, how are you?

If anyone needs the fixed PlgEssentials.jar or if you don't know how to compile it, please send me a private message and I'll send you a download link. Bug already fixed on official plugin. Thanks, Plague!

 

Thanks for the bugreport, fixed.

Please do not redistribute it under the same name, it could bring problems with support (sure in this case it can't, but still).

 

Thanks to you for your quick response.

I guess now the bug is fixed there's no need to share any modified version, because the official plugin is also fixed.

 

Hey there Plague, may I add Permission support to it soo you can add it to your topic:

OPS only [Download]
Permissions [Download]

I will keep updating it as you update if you want that.

 

READ THE MAINPOST >.<

 

Don't yell at me you cute little doggy made out of slimey slimeballs,
I don't want to use the fork, I want to make it snow.
If that isn't what you ment, talk to me like a grown-up person.

 

exactly, read the main post, since this has already been done.

ninja'd

anyway the fork does update once I update so snow should be there.

But you are free to fork if you like.

Wait you don't want to use the existing fork and you do not even want to for yourself, so what is there to do?

but updating for permissions == making a fork. Unless you want to do it only for your own use and then why even ask?

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

 

With making a fork I ment make something that looks like your Plugin like AdminCmd.
But I just wanted to add Permission support, yes that's called a fork too.
Let me delete my earlier post to cleanup your topic.

 

Added /mob command to spawn creatures.
I know having to use CamelCase names (Chicken, Pig, PigZombie) can be annoying, but I have a reason for that. This prevents me from having to update for new creatures manually as bukkit will take care of that.

 

I don't think anyway this plugin needs Permissions. This way is clean and simple. If you want to block certain commands from this plugin for normal users, you just have to use PlgDisableCmd (OP version), there's no need for any permission system. At least it works great for me.

 

Uhmm... In my server Donators get the /give and /i command.
Soo it's needed for me, you can't just say globally that it isn't needed.
I am using the permissions version already.

 

Please make a config where you enable the commands and take them off

/time day|night|dusk|dawn|<raw> OR /day: true
/i OR /item (id|name) [count] [damage] [player]: false
/tp (player): true
/s OR /tphere (player): true
/playerlist: false
/location OR /loc: true
/c OR /color (colorid|colorname): false
/more: true
/msg (player) (private message): true
/strike [player]: false
/weather (off|calm|rain|snow|storm) [duration]: true
/mob (name): false

That would help me alot cuz there is some other plugins i have that does some of those things for me.

Btw this new plgessentials dont work for me can som1 help?
