Version: 1.50

Find and Backroll those Damn Griefers

LogBlock dev builds:
http://diddiz.insane-architects.net:8080/job/LogBlock/

Please read the installation guide

I won't port LogBlock myself to mcAPI. Source code is available, so it shouldn't be to difficult for someone else to do it, also I'm still here. so I can answer questions. If there is more than one willing, that's up to you to handle that.

The reasons I take this step, are the usual: I quit playing Minecraft about 5 months ago and lastly I was struggling to keep up with updates. The developement of Guardian made slow progress, so I fear it won't be ready to fully replace LB in time.

Description:

LogBlock logs block changes into a MySQL database. Block changes can be placed or destroyed block, explosions, burned blocks, sign text changes, chest access, leaves decay etc.
It can be used as griefer identification tool, to find out who build a particular building, or even roll back changes by certain players. Other purposes can be e.g: Undoing of forest fires
All additional features are optional, to keep the database as short as possible. All database actions run in their own threads to avoid server lags.
The use of permissions plugin (or any clone) is possible, but not necessary.
Uses Spout for chest logging (but it's fully optional, and there is no need for the client mod at all).

Features:

Logging for block placing, block braking, fire, explosions, leaves decay, signtexts, lava flow and chest content

Very mighty commands system, not only allowing to rollback and redo, but also to tp to blockchanges, delete log ingame etc. Full list of commands.

Many parameters for lookup/rollback/redo/tp/clearlog commands: Block changes of one ore more player, in a specific area, in a world edit selection, specific block types only, block changes older or newer that a specific date, destroyed/created block only, in a different world and combinations of all these parameters. Full list of parameters.

Rebuilding map after importing a backup (/lb redo)

Last parameter to use the parameters of the last command

Quick ingame lookup of block history a wood pickaxe or a bedrock block.

All commands accessible from console (exept tools )

Custom queries for tools.

Different tool modes (lookup, rollback, redo, writelogfile and clearlog)

Saves block data like wool color, log type, torch adjustment, etc

Multiworld and multiserver support (some servers sharing the same database)

BigBrother log import

Loggable super pickaxe plugin (not to confuse with WorldEdit's super pickaxe)

API

Webstats

Once again I would like to let you know your plugin is Essential for the survival of my server.
Without it, I would never have recovered a large city after a map crash (/redo all work)

Without it, the chest-whipe bug would have been fatal for many players on my server (/redo all chest changes)

And of course, the griefing.
From new members I hear sometimes all kinds of horror stories of servers under constant grief attack, and servers dying under that pressure, thanks to you I have had no grief for months .

I will have to break down that shrine of yours, and build a temple complex...

Example commands: (thanks to tha d0ctor, read more about commands here)

/lb rollback player fire since 1d3h – rolls back fire 1 day 3 hours
/lb rollback player fire since 1d3h area 15 – rolls back fire 1 day 3 hours within a radius of 15 blocks

/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 1h - rolls back thad0ctor 1 hour
/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 1d area 5 – rolls back thad0ctor actions for the last day within 5 blocks
/lb rollback area 10 since 1h30m - rolls back all modifications within 10 blocks since the list 1 hours and 30 mins
/lb rollback area 10 before 06.11.2011 - roll back all changes in an area of 1o before June 11th, 2011
/lb rollback player thad0ctor since 05:36:00 - roll back all changes of thad0ctor since 05:36 (server time)

Are you thinking about maybe updating libraries from MySQL 5.1 to 5.5?

There is no release of the connector for 5.5.

JSmoove98 said: ↑

nm i got it btw is there any way to make it so that when someone actually takes something from the chest it says that they did not just looked inside the chest

Is on the todo, but by now there is no nice way.

JSmoove98 said: ↑

and also what does replaceanyway and dontrollback mean in the config?

replaceAnyWay are blocks that will be replaced at rollback anyway, even if LB didn't find the expectec block type.
Expl: LB wants to rollback a log. At the location is the follwing block:
Air - Thats waht LB expected and air gets replaced by log.
Stone - That's unexpected, maybe someone other placed it and it shouldn't be replaced, no action.
Water - It can be flowed ther naturally, and it's on the replace anyway list, so it gest replaced by log.
dontRollback lists the blocktypes lb shouldn't place, like tnt, fire etc.

ok i understand the replaceanyway more, but for dont rollback im not too sure still. can you please give me an example? is it like there is tnt on the ground and someone breaks it and i rollback what he did lb wouldnt re-place the tnt block?

Yup, someone destroyed tnt and it won't roll back, even in redos, LB won't spwan these blocks.

all of a sudden nothing happens with i try any commands. I didn't change anything that I am aware of. I try any of the /lb commands and absolutely nothing happens. I don't even get any error messages or permission denied messages. I tried reinstall to fix it. Any ideas?

Rebeljah · May 14, 2011

I have an idea, Make a sort of "trusted list" feature that makes it so that certain players are not logged, this could decrease performance drain even more!

Most likely a config error. What does LB say at start up?

I'm still not sure whether to implement that. Heard of too many cases where trusted old players run amok.

Hi,
I realized today a new exception from LogBlock on server startup

Code:

14:50:27 [SEVERE] [LogBlock] SQL exception
java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'xxx'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:1073)

        at de.diddiz.LogBlock.ClearLog.run(ClearLog.java:42)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)

I didn't change anything in config (and mysql). Mysteriously all data is being written to the database anyway (checked that twice)

This is my config:

Code:

loggedWorlds:
- world

- lb-main
mysql:
    port: 3306
    host: localhost
    password: xxx
    user: xxx

    - 51
    dontRollback:
    - 10
    - 11
    - 46
    - 51
version: '0.14'

The version number is also wrong, may I change it to 0.15 manually?

Any ideas what's wrong with that?

it appears you have your MySQL setup wrong. Did you add all permissions for the user?

Change clearlog.dumpDeletedLog to false.
The version number doesn't matter.

Will this also affect the dump functionality? I was wondering where the data will be dumped to...

The dump functionality will be disabled.
plugins/LogBlock/dump/
But that only works for local servers

quick question, if a greifer greifs by placing water, when you rollback it only rollback's the source, and you still have to manually clean up the water. Is there a fix for this?

Yup, will come with v1.00, but water sources created by waterflow will still not be able to rollback.

The stick logs things but any of the /lb commands do not work at all

Does LB even run? And what do you mean with "stick"?

Evil_Cody · May 15, 2011

DiddiZ said: ↑

Sorry should have been more clear

The "stick" is the in game stick

I can use that to right click on placed blocks and it will tell me who placed them what time etc.

So yes it runs and works with the MySQL DB

But the in game commands like

/lb me

etc..

It just tells me that it is an unknown command

I have set myself as an OP set up permissions given myself the * for all commands and even gave each individual permission node to the admin group.

But still I get unknown command when trying to use the commands in game.

Aleyasu · May 15, 2011

I know that this is probably something that will never happen, but will you ever add flatfile support? It is much more easier to setup...

Hm, you could open the LogBlock.jar with an archiver tool like 7zip and make sure that in the plugin.yml is lb listed under commands, or just redownload it.

SQLite maybe sometime in the future, but flatfile is never going to happen

2011-05-15 15:10:47 [SEVERE] [LogBlock Consumer] Failed to get generated keys

That means, that can't retrieve the generated primary key and sp isn't able to log signtexts/chest accesses.
Not sure what causes that, seems to occure rather randomly.

gustav9797 · May 15, 2011

You should add a function like
/lb rollback creeper (radius)
/lb rollback tnt (radius)

just like the player rollback. would be a lot easier when fixing random creeper holes everywhere without rollbacking players buildings
BTW epic plugin, its awesome.

Once I got custom plugins to implemented, that would be easy.
But with the new commands system you will be able to:
Once type "/lb player creeper area 5 time 99 days" and than in every hole just "/lb rb last"
