Very Flustered...

I have tried time after time to develop plugins... some simplist of the simple! But every time.... IT FAILS! I have watched videos.... way to many.

Every time, it doesn't even show up in /pl

So now... i ask, or plead, someone to help me! I'd love if we could IM on skype or something. or even skype.... But please, I hope someone will step forward.

 

1. where is your plugin yml located
2. stack trace?
3. source code of one of your simple plugins
4. what is your plugin yml

 

@lubbs31

Likely there will be a stack trace in your console where your plugin failed to load, post that.

 

@lubbs31 Video tutorials are the root of all evil

Have you tried the Plugin Tutorial?

[21:27:39 INFO]: Server permissions file permissions.yml is empty, ignoring it

@Konato_K @mythbusterma @Samthelord1 That is the error logs.

Code:

package me.lubbs31.Testing;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Testing extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Logger.getLogger("Minecraft").info("Testing is enabled!");
    }
    @Override
    public void onDisable (){
       
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("burn")){
            Player s = (Player)sender;
            Player target = getServer()
            return true;
        }
        return false;

    }
   
}

That is my code in Eclipse....

Code:

name: testing
main: me.lubbs31.Testing
description: Just a test plugin
version: 1.0
author: lubbs31

commands:
burn:
   description: burns you…

That is my plugin.yml.

 

@lubbs31 Fix the redundant log messages and blind casting, but the real issue is that your plugin.yml file is in the wrong location.

 

@lubbs31 Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

 

rekt

 

Okay.... Then where do I put the the plugin.yml? @Konato_K @Skionz

 

@lubbs31 main: me.lubbs31.Testing should be main: me.lubbs31.Testing.Testing
Package + class xD

@lubbs31 your burn command does not do anything, you will have to add s.setFireTicks(20); (20 = 1 second, 40 = 2 seconds) there is no point of the "target" variable and on your onEnable do Logger logger = Bukkit.getLogger(); instead
then do logger.info(); etc

@lubbs31 - Your file contains bad information and you were given the answer above.

 

@lubbs31
Here is a picture of one of my simple plugins in Eclipse:

Hopefully that can give you some insight into how you should have your project set up.

 

Ok.. I did so And I fixed that main: thing...

I am honestly having the hardest time... More videos... :\
