/help plugin [Formatted]

Plugin category: Admin/General/Informational

Suggested name: Something with help in it

A bit about me: My avy is a pancake sailor

What I want: A plugin that shows a custom message for /help, and also for /help including colors.
Should have Page does not exist error, and You cannot view that page error

Ideas for commands: /help /help (page).

Ideas for permissions: help.helpxxx help-(page).helpcxxx

Willing to pay up to: $0 - but I will be giving any properly formatted posts a lot more attention than poorly formatted ones.

When I'd like it by: Yesterday, though obviously it'll take a while before anyone more than a few takes notice of this post, I'll keep bumping it.

Devs who might be interested in this: @TnT @ChrizC @codename_B (yes I tagged myself)

 

Did you try HelpPages or HelpMessage?

 

K_Cin
I HelpPages is basically the outdated version of MyHelpPages (similar plugin above) and I don't like helpmessages

 

Ok ok, so let me get this strait...
You want a plugin that you type /help blahbalhb blah
and it shows a custom message that you have made?

 

Yes, /help and /help balasdads

 

Is this one what you are looking for or should the pages be bigger?

 

This is somewhat what I want. And yes bigger. I would rather /help, but I can change it with commands

 

bump :/

 

Since no one seems to be interested in creating this quite easy plugin for you I decided to do so. Result:


Help v0.1
Description: I know it isn't a good name, but I couldn't find anything original. This plugin allows you to make custom help pages (colors supported) and will automatically create Permission nodes for you (help.somepage).

Commands: /help <page name>
Note: the page name is case-sensitive. The permission node should always be lower-case, even if the page name isn't.

Configuration: Example:

Code:

SomePage:
- You can add as much lines as you want.
- The minus and space before each line won't be displayed.
- You can also add colors. For example &4red

Download Help v0.1

EDIT: Important to know: if you want a sentence to start with a color you will have to put the string between 'single' or 'double' quotation marks. Reason. Example:

Code:

SomePage:
- '&4Line with red color.'
- "&2Line with blue color."
- Both of the above are allowed.
- The following is also allowed:
- 'Line without color'
- "Another line without color"
- The quotation marks will automatically get removed if the line doesn't start with &

 

YEAHH!!!

I love you so much right now

Some feedback

1. Working so far
2. Possible reload command? /hrload or something
3. If the config file has an error, can it just disable the plugin instead of deleting the whole config and replacing it with the default?

Thanks

People with the Permission node help.reload can now use /help reload. One disadvantage of this: you can't create a page named 'reload'.

Download Help v0.2

 

Lol idk why people would want a reload page

Thanks

 

Me neither, but I thought it would be useful to mention.

 

• Made the plugin CraftBukkit 1.1-R6 compatible
• Killed download links of v0.1 and v0.2

Download Help v0.3

 

Will this conflict with essentials as i would love this plugin but i dont want to delete essentials

 

I don't know. I haven't tested this. Please wait a minute or two since I'm replacing the old download file with a new one.
EDIT: Done.
I think it does btw, since Essentials also has it's own help pages.

 

umm could u give me a version of it with the commands /helper please. Would be greatly apreciated

 

I haven't tested it, but it should work fine.
Download Help v0.3 (/helper instead of /help)

 

Thanks man

Could u update it to 1.2.3 please. Would be greatly apreciated

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

This should work. (tested)
EDIT: To be more precise: I tested the plugin on CB Dev Build #02036.

 

Ok thank you so much. Its a real help.
Does this plugin support colour prefixes

 

It does. (as said above )
If you're using colors then don't forget to read this (bottom part).

 

ok thankyou
