Inactive [ADMN/DEV] PermissionsEx (PEX) v1.19.5 - Tomorrow is Today! [1.4.6-R0.1]

I do not login often to comment on plugins (or ever haha) but I was kind of getting sick of switching between both user and group files! so thank you so much for this plugin I am not dissing Yeti and the others at all! I love them dearly and without them I would be dead so yeah

EDIT: what is this "test: '100500'" I am new to permissions in general and am not sure what that is thanks

How do you set up seperate permissions for different worlds? I can't seem to work it out.

pex user <user> add <permission> [world]

world - optional param, if not specified than this is common permission, for all worlds.

Help? Works fine on my Windows Computer, but not on my Linux server.

Look like you moved minecraft server installation from Windows to Linux.
Try to remove config.yml in PermissionsEx directory. Or atleast change slash in config.yml "permissions.basedir" from \ to /.

Thank you, removed the config.yml, restarted server and it worked

Great permissions plugin, far greater than the other ones out there, but trying to integrate it with a Chat plugin is hard since they all use the API, not the YML files, this is the answer i got when i asked the creators of a known Chat Plugin;

The only plugin that should read from the permissions yml files are the permissions plugins themselves. All other plugins just call the exposed APIs to retrieve the information. And while PEX claims to be 100% compatible with Permissions 2.x, it just isn't.

What chat plugin are you trying to use? Ichat worked fine for me.

Code:

How can I set the default group to not being able to build/destroy ect.

Thank for report, fixed.
This error caused coz there is no default group specified.

Join #permissionsex on irc.esper.net, i'll try to help you sort out your issues.

Well, looks like there is some misunderstanding. And PEX are not claimed to be 100% compatible with P2. Just 90%

Also PEX tested with iChat. If your Chat plugin not used API or use wrong ways to retrive prefixes/suffixes i can't help. In case of prefixes/suffixes PEX are 100% compatible with P2.

will it work when i redownload it? and for irc.esper.net, how? i would like to but i only get that succes! page...
i think i do something horribly wrong...
no default group?

Look like you are trying to use old P2 configs with PEX. Show your permissions.yml pls.

I´m confused. In the command spoiler, is this code :

Code:

/pex promote <user> <group> - Set only group for user (remove from others). ("permissions.manage.membership")
/pex demote <user> <group> - Remove user from specified group. ("permissions.manage.membership")

but in the readme is this:

Code:

/pex promote <user> - Promote user to next ranked group ("permissions.users.rank.promote")
/pex demote <user> - Demote user to next ranked group ("permissions.users.rank.demote")

the permissions code from the readme file will not work for my staff and the permissions code from this thread is to long :S

Sorry for my bad english

Code:

/pex promote <user> <group> - Set only group for user (remove from others). ("permissions.manage.membership")
/pex demote <user> <group> - Remove user from specified group. ("permissions.manage.membership")

This commands are obsolete, they would be removed in next release (1.12).

Use "pex user <user> group set/remove <group>" instead.

Can you not add prefix and suffix colors with PEX for each group?

Ok. I was using the latest IChat and that quote is from the IChat Plugin Developer. I had no error message to report prefixes and iChat were simply not working. Could you tell me the instructions you used to get your plugin working with Pex? Because besides that particular issue and the fact that alot of plugins simply dont recognize the permissions.yml file it seems and defaults to OPS-CHECK. the modifyworld permissions are working great, and they are alot of help

To recap if its possible in not too hard a way to make your plugin split the permissions.yml files into two separate files (groups.yml and users.yml) in a Permissions folder or let the existing plugins know that the permissions all exist inside permissions.yml ?
I really really think this is the problem but ofcourse it could be a problem on my end as well. But i don't have any errors :/

I have

prefix: Owner

set up in proper yml format in my permissions.yml
and its not just the prefix that isnt working its the entire iChat plugin.

Really??

Is it possible this is just a misconfiguration on my end?
Could you please report what you did to get it working (besides the default installation routine ofcourse)
Are you using McMyAdmin?

Hey guys i was unable to get IChat working and they seemed extremely rude so i went ahead and used HeroChat,
Which activated fine with no errors, and my chat is now green and white instead of all white

However prefixes is not working, and it seems as if everyone in all channels an OP.

Here is a quite from Herochat Dev;
HeroChat doesn't look at your permissions files directly; it asks whatever permissions plugin you have installed about it's own nodes; "Does player X have herochat.xxx?" - so what I'm saying is Permissions, GroupManager, PermissionsEX, or PermissionsPlus; as long as they use the same interface that Permissions uses (they should or else they're leaving out a lot of plugins that likely will never be compatible) they'll work fine with HeroChat.

And here are some of my logs;

As you can see none of my plugins detect permissions. but Modifyworld permissions work. No errors.

Altso my permissions.yml;

Look like you are not installed PermissionsCompat, this is compatibility layer for plugins which doesn't support PEX natively.

Aha.... Sorrry (((

Thanks for an awesome plugin!

I had to edit the HeroChat config to get a space between the prefix and my name


How do i set colors on my prefix? I can't use the normal one because i dont have ' ' in permissions ex.

Also seems like you haven't migrated your config. In your case just move "prefix" and "suffix" out of info.

Code:

    prefix331:
        group: Admins
        info:
            prefix: '&4Owner '
            suffix:

to

Code:

    prefix331:
        group: Admins
        prefix: '&4Owner '

Indeed. Removing info: and adding ' ' worked like a charm. I now have a colorful chat. Thanksfor the help and the wonderful plugin! Sorry for the bother!

Hello, i have PermissionsEX on my Brohoster server and i dont understand how to setup the Config.yml file

Spoiler title is "Configurtaion File example."

You don't need to "setup" config.yml. Just start server, config.yml would be generated automatically.

Thank you, that was typo

t3hk0d3, I converted my group managers format to permissions 3 format to your format for PEX but I don't have colors for prefixes/suffixes in each group. Also with PEX, a few command/inheritance don't work.
