Inactive [MECH] Backpack v2.2.0 (The Ultimate Inventory Expander!) [953]

Can't detect keypresses from the server - I had to use workarounds for the sneaking press and scrolling through items.

Thanks - harmless sense the player is offline, but annoying. Fixed in 1.oc.

Fixed in 1.0e.

Well using it for a bit and shift 1-9 does the same thing for those with a trackball, unfortunately I often switch tool slots while crouching so that sort of gets in the way of it. Though sorta sucks can't really do anything about the keypresses.

Other than that, the auto collection without having to switch pages is nice, filled 5 pages while redigging a subway with movecraft's drill. Would be nice if quickstash worked with backpack, was a bit of pain stashing all the blocks into storage.

I still get this error with version e

CB 458.

Hi, just started using Bukkit yesterday, and I was wondering, after I downloaded the plugin, I ran the server and everything worked normally just like you said.
However, after disconnecting from, and rebooting, the server, an older version of my first inventory (version came from DIRECTLY before i started adding items into second) replaced the newer version; while hte newer first inventory was moved into the second inventory. Second Inentory dissapeared forever...
Any ideas for how to retrieve second inventory/fixes for whatever caused this would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

which bukkit, did you restart server before exiting?

Hey Afforess,

and again, a damn usefull nice awesome plugin

One suggestion: Could you make the "normal" scroll configuralable?
So I want to configure if I have to sneak or to walk to change my current items or inventory.

Would be nice.

Greetz,
buckeT

Updated to 1.0f, now supports the latest recommended build.

QuickStash should work with it.

if someone kicks people i still get the "Could not pass event PLAYER_MOVE to Backpack" error.

getting this error at server start up
00:11:41 [SEVERE] [BACKPACK] Failed to read contents of backpack!
>

Please post the error log.
[MERGETIME="1299966080"][/MERGETIME]

Happens when Backpack can't read the data from one of the data files.

is there a way to fix it? its at all most every startup and look at the conve i started with you

When a player is kicked, i sometimes get this error. Using kick and ban system of essentials.

I've included a much more descriptive error message in 1.0g. Once you see the error again in the latest version, please give me a copy of the console logs.

Thanks.

Backpack Updated to 1.0g
-Fixed exception when players are kicked
-More descriptive log when failed to read item

i will do that for you, it would seem that im a "tester" for you
XD

Would it be possible to add a configuration to disable the crouch + scroll switch and only use a command like /i1-9? I really like this mod but when working around lava it gets kind of inconvenient to have.

It would be nice (and quite logical, in fact) if backpack data is stored in the "world" folder(s), instead of a plugin folder.

Nice plugin
One question..
Is this plugin dynamic? I mean, i dont want to restart my server every minute if I want to add an user into the config list where i add him pages. Maybe you can add a command where we can add players with optional pages into the config list, like /bpadd Linaks [pageamount]

/bpadd Linaks 9
/bpadd mikel21 3
etc..

bp = backpack
Linaks = Playername
[pageamount] no description necessary


Thanks <3

//Edit:

Bugreport: If I restart the server, all items in the backpack are lost..
PLEASE FIX THAT.

"/i" (as are many of the single letter command names) are already commonly used. I also want to keep this plugin as simple as possible, since I find that commands often take away from the minecraft experience, and fragment gameplay. So no.

I'm pretty sure most people would cringe and run in panic at any plugin that touched the world folder. I know I wouldn't want any plugin that modifies that directory.

There's a "default" setting, but having a command to add players is a pretty decent idea. I'll add something like that next release.

Backpack saves items on server restarts, but remember to use the "stop" command, and not just kill the process. Backpack also auto-saves every 5 minutes, but if you added items recently, and killed the server, they will be lost.

can someone please post ur users config i cant seem to be able to configure it.

hello I am having a problem with starting up my server where it hangs on backpack version 1.0g usign CB build 556 no error messages just takes forever to start.

Quick question. Anyway you can make it /backpack off /backpack on

and maybe use arrow keys not the scroll thing because it goes 2 fast

Love this plugin, been using it for a while.
I've got a couple issues I'd like to call attention to:
1) There is a duplication/lost item bug having to do with /open
if you /open a page, and put items into it, or take items out of it, then close the page with 'i', then without moving, use /open to open the same page again, the page will be what it was before you added or removed items from it. allowing you to duplicate items or accidetnally lose items (man, that sucks)
you have to move after using /open or the changes wont save (can anyone else confirm this, or is it just my server?)
I guess this means you save changes to backpack on a players move event.
2) if a server is being unstable, it can cause the entire backpack file for a single user to be wiped, erasing all items except the ones on the page that already had open (im assuming its cause the active page is also stored in the player dat file)
I really do not know the best way to handle either problem, but I figured I needed to say something to be sure you were aware of these problems.

Thanks for the wonderful plugin.

Just found another bug...
3) If a player logs in then logs out without moving, if the server then shuts down, you get this error message.

as you can see, thats bad =) the backpack data for that player is wiped.
if a player makes sure to move before logging back out, no problems when the server shuts down

Well, this is certainly not funny at all. I just lost all of my inventory from every one of the slots but the first slot. Why would it do this? Is there any way to get it back?

Please upload your entire backpack data folder.

Yeah, I'll add that next release.

Wow, thanks for the detailed report.

1.) Yes, you have the problem dead on. I check for moving or scrolling to detect when the player has exited the window, but it seems you found a way around that. I've changed the plugin so the /open command will also update the inventory correctly too.

2.) I've done almost everything I can to minimize data loss, since I realize it's a critical issue. For the next release, I'm going to have Backpack back up the data file when it writes a new one, and restore it if something goes wrong. Hopefully that will help mitigate issues.

3.) Ouch! And such an easy bug to fix too.

By lost - you mean your items are gone?

First - are you sure you didn't just scroll to a new page by mistake?
Second - If you're items really ARE gone, what were you doing around the time they disappeared? Item loss should only occur at server restarts, if at all. Does your console report anything unusual?

Gone means gone. The first time it was all slots except the main one. When I got up this morning, there was more messages in the console about the issue with MM vehicle or something like that. It has been reported in the MM thread many times. This caused the client to disconnect. I closed the client and did a stop on the server. Started both back up and I had absolutely no items in any slot.

I say slot meaning page. So all pages all slots gone.
