HELP!!! trouble with permissionsEx and factions

Hello

Lately I have been having troubles with getting PermissionsEx and Factions to work

The problem with factions is it doesn't even appear and with permissionsEx, I try to promote myself to owner and nothing happens, I have Op and I think I done the permissions.yml properly but just in case here is the permissions.yml's text:

Ok so you need to add a dash to each node between the - and the node its elf and make sure you only use spaces no tabs

 

I don't get what you mean brisingrhawk1994

could you fix up my code for me?

you would literally save my server

 

- essentials.unban make them all like this a space between the dash and the words

 

all of them was just like that in the first first place

@brisingrhawk1994

but its till not working

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

 

Use pastebin.com to copy/paste your permissions.yml.

YAML format is all about proper spacing and you putting it in the forum post like you did completely strips out the spacing...thus making it impossible to see the exact same file you have.

You might also try running .yml files through Online YAML Parsers to make sure you do not have formatting errors. Logic errors are hard enough to deal with, no need to compound the issue with simple format errors.

 

The yaml parser said its all coded properly and heres my permissions http://pastebin.com/0UEcdbsS

@LHammonds

 

I dont understand your actual problem. But one i saw is that you have trouble promoting yourself to owner rank. To do this go into your console and type: pex user [your ign] group set Owner

 

I did that. It didn't work

@soccerwiz998

 

etfulton I noticed a couple of things that you could try changing. (1) In your Admin group, you have a permission node that says - null. Take that one out since it should only be used if they have no other perms. (2) Your Owner and Co-Owner groups are both inheriting from admin instead of Admin with a capital 'A'. PEX is incredibly picky when it comes to capitalization and considers admin and Admin as two different groups; so as it is right now you are inheriting from a group that does not exist. (3) And finally, I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I think putting a - in the group name for Co-Owner might be causing problems as well. Try changing it to just CoOwner and see if it makes a difference. (You shouldn't have to change the way it looks in the prefix, just the actual group name itself.)

Sorry I don't really have any suggestions for your Factions problem. I've never used that plugin on my server, so I have basically no experience with it.

 

it didn't work

etfulton Does PEX show up as green or red when you do /plugins? If it's red, then there's still an error in there somewhere and it would be helpful to see how your file looks now that you've edited it. If it's showing up green... do you get any error messages in-game? What part exactly isn't working?

 

@JaguarJo permissionsEx is red and heres my edited code: http://pastebin.com/JmL71LwF

 

etfulton Hmm...the file looks good...I can't see any reason there why it wouldn't be loading properly. Did you completely stop the server and restart it after you made the edits? Just doing a /reload instead can cause problems sometimes.

The server log should have some sort of message explaining why PEX is failing to load. If you post your startup log, that will give us a little more information to troubleshoot with. Perhaps there is a compatibility issue? You could double-check your PEX version and make sure that it is compatible with the version of CraftBukkit your server uses. I don't really have any other ideas off the top of my head, but if it's still showing up red in /plugins, then there should definitely be some sort of error message in the startup logs.

 

thank you it worked but I have a second problem now. I want to link PrisonRankUp with permissionsEx's prefixs please help

Since you already made another thread for this topic, I'll try to help you over there instead of here. Makes it easier for us to help you figure things out if we keep all of the discussion in the same place.

 

ok
