GSPs and CLI-freaks!

Great! Now i can make scripts that print options!

Looks great, will certainly make certain things a ton easier (esp for MC hosts)

I love you for this!

hey0>this.

Please clarify this statement.

........ Hey0, you know that server mod thingy? Is greater than..... This, this Bukkit mod thingy.

Are you making this statement to cause conflict or are you not aware of what is currently happening regarding hMod and the Bukkit project?

Looks good, and very simple. I like easy to use, and plus it will allow extra functionality in the long run. I am glad to see that it we will be able to manage the wrapper (some of it) through command line rather than exiting completely.

Looking good so far!

Funny that you say that. This is obviously in early development, so of course it doesn't have the same functionality as hmod. Bukkit is a complete code rewrite for a server mod, made by some devs from hMod, so in the future, you can almost assuredly expect a final product that may surpass hMod in functionality and speed. But right now, its still a guessing game. Right now, yes, hMod is better because its had lots of development, and Bukkit is still quite new. It really depends on what happens to hMod in the next week or so.

Yes and Yes. Can we further wrap this into a bash script (or .bat file for Windows servers) which launches the server process like a daemon and allows control commands to be sent from the shell, like apachectl?

looking good

hopefully a full tutorial can be made when the final release is out!

Very good news, I was waiting for this for a long time !

awesome!
This is really cool.

With the maven install, could you create a .bat and .sh file for starting the java.

Presumably, it will create

craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
craftbukkit-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

and so on in the same target directory.

This script could point to the latest jar.

Also, when starting in windows by clicking on an executible .jar file, the console doesn't actually pop up, so you can't enter console commands.

A good first step

maven ftw.

cheers

Awesome! One thing I would change is the -P and the -p options. Its better to make command line options idiot proof, and it cuts down on support issues. Perhaps making the port number option -pn instead?

is there any way to get this working version of Bukkit? or no is it just an internal release for devs?

............i like that comment. I agree.

............i like that comment. I agree.

Excellent -- this will make things VERY easy.

Another idea to take this further could be to specify a configuration path, such as -C dir.

Example:

Code:

java -jar Craftbukkit.jar -p 1234 -s 50 -C profiles/customerID/serverID -w worldsilly

This could then set the base path for configuration files, plug-ins folder, and world folder in the customer's server ID folder without having to repeat the path in multiple switches.

Edit: or perhaps -b for base dir.

This thread should help you get the latest Bukkit build up and running! And it is Newb Friendly too

Do the command line options work for the current version? Mine seems to ignore all settings.

It seems to ignore every option except --help. Then it shows the help text

java -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -c bukkit.properties -p 27000 -s 5 -w myworld

Really sorry so sound like such a moron here...

I'm one of the many hMod server admins in limbo, hoping for the Bukkit release announcement, but based on the conversations here, did I miss it? Or is it just the wrapper that's released? If so, where is it because I must've missed it...

I'm considering going back to a simple vanilla server for now, but would love to be trying out hMod's logical successor.

Look into "CraftBukkit" which is, for now, the server software.
