[INACTIVE][FUN/ADMN] Spyer 1.5_1 - invisibility for moderating and pvp!(alternative to Vanish) SPOUT

SPYER HAS A NEW HOME!

WARNING! THIS PLUGIN REQUIRES SERVER SIDE SPOUT! CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!
WARNING! OLD PERMISSION SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTED! YOU WILL NEED A BUKKIT PERMISSIONS STANDARD COMPLIANT PERMISSIONS SYSTEM!
Hotfixed SpyerFun on 16th of August. Version number of the jar didn't change. Fixed a bunch of bugs.
SpyerFun - a plugin that allows playersto become invisible for some time. Each second the player "eats" one item out of the stack he is holding (hider item, sugar by default). While invisible, mob can and will still attack the player, although other players (exceptions are implemented) can not. The player will reappear when he either runs out of the hider item or switches to another item in his action bar, e.g. a sword.
SpyerAdmin - a plugin that allows moderators to hide themselves for an unlimited amount of time, as well as simulating them leaving. This is a constantly updated alternative to Vanish, with much more features and configurations!
Thanks to brafenschlug for this hilarious video of moderators playing pranks on players!

Features:

• Now uses Spout! This plugin is no longer CPU heavy!
• Allows players to become invisible for a set amount of time!
• Adds more fun to PVP.
• Allows administrators to hide themselves and simulate them quitting! Overrides msg,r and list.
• Stops players from picking things up while using SpyerAdmin (see the configuration section)
• Knocks players out from invisibility (SpyerFun) when they get damaged (see the configuration section)
• Knocks players out from invisibility (SpyerFun) when they left-click a block (see the configuration section)
• Now reload friendly!

How to use (SpyerAdmin):

• Use /spy to become and stop being invisible (toggled).
• Use /quit to simulate you quitting/joining (toggled).
• Place 1 piece of the indicator item into your quickbar. It will indicate if you are hidden or not. By default it is glowstone that turns into sulphur. You can configure that in plugins/Spyer/SpyerAdmin.conf.

How to use (SpyerFun):

• Right click with the "hider" item, every second it will eat up one item from the stack.
• To add/change "hider" items, go to plugins/Spyer/items.yml. You'll see something like this:
  Code:

  {352: 3000, 353: 1000}

  Items are separated by commas. The ID is the right value, and the time of usage (per block) in milliseconds(HAS to be dividable by 50!). So if I want to add clay to work for 10 seconds per piece, I will do something like
  Code:

  {352: 3000, 353: 1000, 337: 10000}

  Note: by default, bones and sugar are used.

Installation instructions, downloads:

Install server-side Spout. No Spout client required.

SpyerAdmin.jar
SpyerAdminCommands.jar
SpyerFun.jar

Instructions for different setups:

• Essentials: Download SpyerInstaller, put it in the server directory and run it from terminal(console). Go to configuration->4.
• Vanilla Bukkit: go to (server directory)/plugins/Spyer. Open repo.conf, replace everything with
  Code:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16258042/SpyerAdminRepos/Vanilla/

• CommandBook: Special version for you! semi-direct Replace SpyerAdminConmmands.jar with this version!

Configuring:

List of permissions:

1. spyer.spy (Players who have this have access to the /spy and /quit commands, without permissions checks for op powers)
2. spyer.seeAll (Players who have this can see people who are hidden, without permissions checks for op powers)
3. spyer.fun (Players who have this can use SpyerFun, without permissions defaults to true)
4. spyer.stopmobs.admin (Stops moderators from being attacked by mobs while hidden)
5. spyer.stopmobs.fun (Stops players from being attacked by mobs while hidden)

Files:

• spyer.yml - responsible for holding timing data. If syncWithScheduler is true, the plugin will use the bukkit's scheduler (recommended). If false, use Java timers. refreshRate defines the time in ticks (in milliseconds if syncWithScheduler = false). Add the optional field coolDown and set its value to your cooldown time in milliseconds (for SpyerFun, time in between invisibility uses). Add pickUp: true to allow picking up items while hidden in SpyerAdmin. To knock out people from SpyerFun when they damage an entity, add "onDamage: true". To knock out people from SpyerFun when they left click a block, add "onBlock: true". To stop invisible players (SpyerFun) from damaging other living entities, add "noDamage: true". Boolean "wait" allows/disallows the plugin to delay reloading to give them time to hide.
• repo.conf - holds the url of the repository from which SpyerAdmin will update the script.
• script.js - compatibility layer between plugins. e.g. Essentials script will simulate Essentials commands, Vanilla script will simulate the normal minecraft commands.
• items.yml - holds the list of items used in SpyerFun
• SpyerAdmin.conf - holds indicator item ids for SpyerAdmin

Modifying scripts:

1. Comment out all the lines in repo.conf.
2. Modify the script.
3. If you want to update the script, you can get it from [repopath]/script.js

Version: v1.5_1

Known issues

• If you get a NullPointer when enabled (that contains something like "at nickguletskii200.SpyerAdmin.CustomHandling.<init>(Unknown Source)", then download this and put it into your jre's lib directory. You might also need to install Rhino. Disclaimer: this file is a part of the OpenJDK package.

going to any of the dropbox locations in browser returns a 404... is this normal?

 

Works fine for me...

 

So how can we use this to hide log in/out?

 

Use the /quit command...

 

How do i make it, that Admins also can't see the spy-players? Please answer =)

 

You should do this:

Code:

- '*'
- '-spyer.seeAll'

This will give admins all nodes except seeAll. OPs will still be able to see everyone however.

 

No, i mean, hiding the "Player joined the game" and "Player left the game"

 

It does it when you are pseudo-quit...

 

Great plugin. It works wonderfully.
However, my users can still see the mods online using /list or /playerlist or /online.
It says "*** has quit!" but still lists us.
Craftbukkit 740, FoundDiamonds, General 3.3.3, Help, HeroicDeath, mcMMO, Moblimiter,Myhome, Permissions, SimpleCensor, SpyerAdmin, Weatherman, Worldedit, WorldGuard, xrayDetector.
Any idea what might be causing this or what its conflicting with?
Thanks in advance! We still use it with limited functionality because this mod rocks!
MH

 

General is not supported.

 

Why ignore the longest living General Command plugin? CommandBook blows, it over steps it boundaries, as well as SK89 already has his hands full and is THE SLOWEST developer getting things up to date.(SK89: stick with worldedit/worldguard, let the other devs take care of the easy stuff.) It takes over weather commands and Commandbooks options suck. (WTH, cant strike a user with lightning?) Essentials is bloatware. No reason to have 25 mods when a few will take care of what I need.
Are their any plans to implement the general plugin hooks?
Thanks again-
MH

 

General is inactive. I am not going to spend any more of my time making yet another compatibility layer. That is why I am making my own command system. It is different from all the other basic commands plugins. It uses scripting for its base, so all commands will be easily customisable, not to mention easily removable and updateable.

 

I support this so much. I've seen time after time of a general/default command plugin fall into the essentials trap of adding more and more until it becomes a bloated mess that takes over things that aren't general/default, and becomes far to large and complex to be useful to anyone except those who don't know they have other alternatives. There was a promising one, DefaultCommands, but recently the dev updated to a new version which removed some commands, like kick and ban, if you can believe it, though he said he'd re-add them. And in their place he picked up a litany of junk that should never have been added - world creation and management, mob controls, sheep changing color?? all this went in before kick and ban.</rant> Anyways, if you created a basic command plugin that avoids all these pitfalls, I'd donate more than a cup of coffee.

 

Using CB740, did /quit and this came up, seems to still work though, just don't know what this is for:

Could you add cooldowns to SpyerFun ? My thief class is almost complete

 

What repo are you using and what is the plugin you use for general commands?

Not sure how that would work...

 

Have you had any luck hiding names from /list and /who in bukkit?
We recently added this mod and it always shows the user in the lists after using /quit, Also is there away to either block chat messages after using /quit or maybe have them only visible to other players with the same or higher permissions?

 

Make the invisibility item possible to use once every X seconds. So for example, you could set it to being invisible for 10 seconds, but you can only do it once every minute.

 

Players with the seeAll permission will see players in the list, as well as see messages from hidden players. Other players will not see them.

Done. Redownload, set the optional field coolDown in spyer.yml to the cooldown time in milliseconds.

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

 

Oh wow, you are the MAN! That was so fast. Thanks a bunch.

 

No problem! Sorry that I didn't do it yesterday, I was too tired...

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I have a bug to report. If a person goes invis and someone relogs, they can see him. Same goes for warps. Vanish plugin has this fixed but they don't have the features you do. Please look into this.

 

Greetings. There seems to be no way to /spy and pick up items. This is indeed a nice feature, but could you please make it toggle-able via a command or in the config file? Hopefully, I can figure out how to delete that code snippet. lol

 

Is this in SpyerFun? EDIT: Redownload, I think I have found the cause of this.

Adding... EDIT: Added. Read the OP for instructions

 

Hey,
nice Plugin =) Its VERY GOOD to take care of the Server...

May u can if the Guy with the Permission the walk sound too off is? If he is @ Spy
That would be great but i thank it doesnt go... :/

Ando

 

Eeeh, as entities are removed, then the sound is also removed.

 

EDIT 2: If I use the link for servers not running CommandBook (which is running on my server), then I can pick up items while invisible. However, using that version of SpyerAdmin.jar spams the error mentioned below. If I use the link for CommandBook servers then I cannot pick up items wile invisible, but the error below does not appear in the console.


EDIT: hahaha It seems the spam I was seeing in my server console was due to using the SpyerAdmin.jar file not meant for CommandBook servers. For those curious, you probably clicked the wrong link if you see this error:

Any way can we format the login and logout message in the future? We have a different color scheme and the wrong color gives it away very easily that we are spying.

More specifically its this:

[White]ChadTheDJ [Red]has logged off

White = &F
Red = &4

I am sure people will love this ability to match their own server.

 

Use the script to change that
