[GEN/SEC/ECON/TP/ADMN] Essentials 2.10.1 - A collection of useful commands [1.4.7]

I seem to be doing something wrong, I configured the EssentialsChat bit on the configuration file to look like this:

Code:

############################################################
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
# |                  EssentialsChat                    | #
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
############################################################
 
chat:
 
  # If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks.  Set to 0 to make all chat global.
  # Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
  # Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
  # Or with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
  # You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
  radius: 0
 
  # Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat
  # Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
  # If set to the default chat format which "should" be compatible with ichat.
  # For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://ess.khhq.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting 
 
  #format: '<{DISPLAYNAME}> {MESSAGE}'
  #format: '&7[{GROUP}]&f {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&f {MESSAGE}'
 
  group-formats:
  #  Default: '{WORLDNAME} {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&f {MESSAGE}'
    Member: '[FACTION] &f[{GROUP}]&f {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&f {MESSAGE}'
    Moderator: '[FACTION] &5[{GROUP}]&5 {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&5 {MESSAGE}'
    Veteran: '[FACTION] &a[{GROUP}]&a {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&a {MESSAGE}'
    Admins: '[FACTION] &c[{GROUP}]&c {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&c {MESSAGE}'
 
  # If your using group formats make sure to remove the '#' to allow the setting to be read.

And it does this ingame:
Strangely, it does work for at least the Moderator format line.
Anyone got an idea?

It seems it doesn't recognise any & with a character behind it...

faithlessgod: seems to be a combination of faction prefix and default chat format. paste entire config.yml of essentials

I run Mcjobs, Iconomy, chest shop, world guard, world edit, vault, and command book.

I know I have to uninstall Iconomy, turn off server. Open zip. I have to reload right? Everytime I reload , my ic2 gets messed up.

Anyways is this going to conflict with any of those plugins I use. It will fool Mcjobs into thinking its Iconomy right?

This has absolutely nothing to do with essentials.

Oops, I didn't know you could use them I found out last night and was very happy, this is better than Pex. Because it even has its own plugins for the essentials of my server! Thanks for the help anyways WooHoo!

I just used the group manager and did /mangaddv Owner prefix &#(&#Owner&#)-&#

Hey, can someone tell me what permission it is for people to be able to open doors and sleep in beds, but at the same time not be able to build/break?

[EDIT]: I also just noticed it doesn't let you eat either

GroupManager/essentialsprotect antibuild hook blocks all world interact events. if you want a more precise one, configure essentials blacklists, or use another protection plugin.

Got any ideas? I'm new to server hosting and plugins

check the essentials wiki

Alright, thanks

Help Please:

Code:

# Essentials Sign Control
# See http://ess.khhq.net/wiki/Sign_Tutorial for instructions on how to use these.
# To enable signs, remove # symbol. To disable all signs, comment/remove each sign.
# Essentials Colored sign support will be enabled when any sign types are enabled.
# We recommend not enabling chest protection signs if you don't intend to use them, (or are using LWC/Lockette).
 
enabledSigns:
  #- color
  #- balance
  #- buy 
  #- sell
  #- trade
  #- free
  #- disposal
  #- warp
  #- kit
  #- mail
  #- enchant
  #- gamemode
  #- heal
  #- spawnmob
  #- time
  #- weather
  #- protection

You need to follow these instructions on enabling your signs.

@Jumpingpea - no tabs in .yml files

Whenever some one in my server logs off or on i can't see [player name] joined/left the game. How do i turn that on i cant find it in the config but i'm not sure if essentials does that is it essential if so where can i find it?

this isnt essentials

How do you add messages for being unable to do actions like building or digging?

Thank You! it works!!!! DDDDDDDDDD

anonymous621: for blacklist messages? if yes, read http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Locale

Which permission is needed to remember the gamemode status (creative/survivel) on login and logout?

no such node exists. theres node for /gamemode, essentials.gamemode

I heard that there's a way to disable join/quit/kicked message in Essentials. My server's having more and more players, I don't want the message to interfere with the game. If anyone could help me out with this, it would be great. Thanks

viet: join and quit messages are bukkit's. for kicked, read http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Locale

But necrodoom, how can I make sure that if my supporter leave the game that they will enter it (if they left it with GM on) with GM again too? It works only for admins and I think they miss one permission for it.

does supporter have access to essentials.gamemode?

Please note this does not work with 1.3
