[CHAT] ColorMe (Changed ownership), read first post

Again, without being an OP but with having the '*' permissions, this plugin does not work.

sweet thanks

I have no idea, I just looked through the source and that plugin doesn't look like it can change anything that ColorMe uses. I'm stumped.

Did you add the permissions nodes to the config file? The nodes have to be in to be recognized by permissions, even with '*'.

Well... that's odd then. Perhaps the problem really is due to permissions... not sure though. Can you please explain to me how to setup the Config file? I am quite confused...

After 10min of starting my dedicated server it started working, but without being an OP but having the node it doesnt say: Gave *** the color: ***

But still, it does work, awesome Plugin!!

Glad it's working, but why it doesn't give the message doesn't make sense. In the code I have it see if permissions is enabled, if so then it disregards the OP=true/false in place of users having the correct permissions to run each the allowed commands. If permissions are not found then it will default to OPs only being allowed to use commands unless OP=false, then players are allowed to use /coorme list, /colorme <color>, and /colorme <self> [color] (where <self> is their own name). Only OPs can set another player's color when permissions isn't enabled.

Here's how I have my permissions config set up as an example:

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: false
        inheritance: null
        permissions:
        - 'colorme.list'
    Moderator:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        - Default
        permissions:
        - 'colorme.self'
        - 'colorme.other'
        - 'colorme.remove'
    Admins:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance: null
        permissions:
        - '*'

Default only has permission to use the /colorme list, and /colorme <self> to remove their name color. No permissions is needed to remove your own color.
Moderator is allowed to use the rest of the commands that Default doesn't have.
Admins have all commands

Ok, got a minor problem. When I type /colorme list it displays the list, but when I type /colorme darkblue eccentricw, it does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, the order of the arguments are wrong. It goes /colorme <name> <color> instead of /colorme <color> <name>


That was my fault, I forgot to change the first post to match how the commands work. Sorry about that.

Erm my server now ceased working... I have no idea why. Something is wrong and I have absolutely no idea what...
And Valrix, I'll check my permissions and make sure it's all setup properly. Thanks.

It's the other way around in the spoiler of the first post :s

unless you just edited it x.x

Weird, hope you get it all sorted out. No problem, let me know if you need any more help.

Haha, yeah I just fixed it. I had it messed up because I forgot to change it.

Yes I had forgotten to include apostrophes in my permissions file... thanks very much!
And yeah, I don't know if you would know why, but after attempting to stop then start my server (I run it on a Mac and turn it on/off through a start.command file), it returned no result in Terminal. I double clicked the file to open it in Terminal as usual, but literally nothing happened. I am really confused and I have no idea how to fix this. Is there a spot for this in the forum somewhere?

Oh, and to correct myself, it isn't that nothing happened... Terminal opened, but there was no result in Terminal. Just a blank, open Terminal window. Very odd...

What's in your .command file? I run Mac as well but do thing a bit differently than most since I know my way around a Mac really well.

The .command file says the following:

What do you suggest is the problem?

Hmm, well that method of entering the directory looks a bit odd, I'll give you what I use for mine:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd "${0%/*}";
bukkit=./*.jar;
java \
-server \
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC \
-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode \
-XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing \
-XX:+AggressiveOpts \
-XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods \
-XX:+OptimizeStringConcat \
-XX:+UseBiasedLocking \
-Xmn512m \
-Xms768m \
-Xmx1g \
-Xss512k \
-d64 \
-jar $bukkit nogui

What that does is cd into the directory the .command (or in my case it's just called "server" since I used a chmod +x server on it to make it executable) then it looks for any .jar files (make sure you only have one in that directory and that it's your craftbukkit server) then it launches with those config options. You may not want to add all of those unless you know what you're doing. I have it use the bukkit=./*.jar so you can have your server.jar named whatever you want it to be and it'll still launch perfectly fine.

Doesn't save if you log out for like 5 min. I always gotta re do the command. It's annoying fix please !

Ah. Well, I have an sqlite jar in the same directory as my craftbukkit jar file... could that possibly cause a problem? I sure hope not... Also, I'm not very good with codes, so would you mind explaining to me why I should use your code instead of mine or how to edit your code to fit my methods? Thanks a bunch.

Oh snap, nice find. I got it fixed. Jar is updated and I'm updating the changelog now.

The sqlite jar should be in a folder called /lib/ or something similar. It's best to not have anything "extra" that isn't created by craftbukkit inside the base server folder. Depending on the specs of your computer my load options should help speed up the server a bit since it uses better garbage collection methods than the default. If you tell me more about your computer then I can alter mine to better fit your system. Also tell me the name of your server.jar so I can change the script for you.

Thank's! Good Plugin

Alright, fixed my server folder. The name of my server.jar is "craftbukkit1.4.jar" (without the quotation marks of course). I really appreciate your help and I'll let you know if it works.

No problem, hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for the support ^^

Do you need to use permissions to change other peoples' colors? I can change my own name, but not the others on my server.

Yes, you either have to be OP or have permissions to change another person's name color otherwise everyone could change each other's color and that would be a mess.

Hey Valrix, I tried a combo of the following:

/colorme <eccentricw> <Blue>
/colorme [eccentricw] <blue>
/colorme [eccentricw] blue
/colorme eccentric blue

None of them seemed to work. Should I submit my config file? Thanks for the help.
