[MECH] XSigns v0.8 - Switch Signtext with Redstonecurrent or create Counters [1.2.4-R1.0]

This is nice
But where i could use it?

I use it to give my redstone circuits a better output like "Track 1 active"
Maybe I should make some more Youtubevideos

um...... I am new to this. I am not sure where the lib/ folder is or how to get to it? is that the libary folder?

No Problem
just create the lib folder parrallel to the plugins folder

Example:
minecraft_serverfolder/

• plugins/
• lib/
• world/
• server.properties
• ops.txt
• ...

I like the idea but i think that having to have it on the same line limits it 2 much the lines are not all that long.

Or can it be on 2 lines?

Say i wanted to have a really long word On the line i could not fit both can it be done like?

Line 1 < hello this
Line 2 Big MSG|
Line 3 Hi >

Hmm you can write it as:
<hello this| Hi>
<Big MSG...|>
<..........|>

To make it accessible over more lines, my plugin must decide where to make the line breaks.
Maybe I try to include it but I also thinking about a console command to make long signtexts.

What did you think what would be better?

Chat command maybe idk not good at that kind of stuff.

with a chat command you could do what i said and seprate each line on the sign with a , so the command could be like.

/sign text1isbig|test2isbig,line2iscool|line2isnotcool,normaltext,normaltext

that would work well ofc it would edit the sign your looking at. that would mean you could have 2 settings for the line that take up the whole line atm its limited to being under half a line each for each state that sucks... its already short even shorter uh no thanks.

I've got another idea, hope you like it
(Big XSigns)

hmm, looks good. I might try this on my server.
I've got an idea though. You could make it so that, when there are more than 2 messages, every time the current changes (or powers on, but change is faster), the next text appears, in the same order in which they were made. I.E. you make a sign like this:
<text1|text2|text3|text4> (could be the Big XSign way ofc.). When you first change the current, it shows 'text1'. The next change shows 'text2', the next 'text3', the next 'text4', and then back to 'text1'. This way, you can more or less create a ticker on a sign.

Sounds good, i think I will include this in the next release. But you must wait a short time, because I got many Exams during the next two weeks

Yey

On another note, what's the texture pack you used in the video? It looks epic

Hi there, I love this plugin!

I only have one request. For wall mounted signs, can you allow us to power them by powering the back of the block the sign is mounted to? That way I could hide my wiring and not need a redstone torch under the sign to switch it.

Thanks

I use Minecraft Enhanced

Sorry my fault, thank you for finding this Bug
I try to fix it soon

i was advised to try the x signs for my construct (an auto collection and delivery system for materials...works great so far, a lot of work to get them all sorted) will sort a video when its down (wont be for a few days)

So many ideas:
Shop - <Open;Closed>
Mines - <Open;Locked>

Very nice plugin, definitly going to be using this... just to come up with some fun things,
Im sure I will have tons as soon as I think about it

It doesnt work for me.

You can see it at the first line.
It cannot find the flexjson library (which is used for saving the data).

At your second post I can see you have the library in the same folder as the plugin, that couldn't work.
Just create a /lib folder parallel to you plugin folder (maybe the folder is already there) and move the
flexjson-2.1.jar there.

Example:
minecraft_serverfolder/

• plugins/
• lib/
• world/
• server.properties
• ops.txt
• ...

Hope this helps

AWESOME!! THANKS!

Done

Absolutely love it!

It doesn't work on MC1.4 - CB611
Waiting for update, I love this plugin

EDIT: working with 617!

Thank you for testing it

hey orangenpresse, just letting you know that on 1.5 it messes up with

I've got the Problem, and fixed it

Can you add colors. It will by nice to have red off text and green on text.

Problems building XSigns - flexjson library - using NetBeans - SOLVED


Edit: Solved - I overlooked the default manifest.mf caused the classpath to be set to something other than the directory the flexjson-2.1.jar file was located. This was only a problem when building the plugin from the source because the manifest file was different than the one included with the zip file.

Hey, I'm using your XSigns plugin on a Bukkit server running Java 1.5. Creating a new project using your existing source code works fine and I'm able to successfully add Bukkit and flexjson as libraries. However, when I try running the plugin on Bukkit it gives me the error [SEVERE] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: flexjson.JSONSerializer

I've confirmed that the flexjson-2.1.jar file is located in /lib directory in the bukkit root, but I think that it's looking for the file in a different path after building. NetBeans is somewhat new to me, but I am fairly sure I have not made any mistakes when building since it is loaded by Bukkit and runs up until the checkFiles.

Does the json library jar have to be located in a certain directory relative to the source code or the compiled jar, or does the classpath only matter at the time of building? The same error occurs on both the server and when running Bukkit through Netbeans.

One thing I noticed in the .classpath file included with the source .zip is the key classpathentry kind="lib" points to "C:/Users/Benedict Burckhart/Dropbox/Minecraft/Bukkit/flexjson-2.1/flexjson-2.1.jar". I'm not sure if the .classpaths file is used by NetBeans, as I tell it to find the library file somewhere else (obviously), but I would like to know the purpose of this file.

Anyway, I hope you can help me figure out what's going on. I'm actively learning how to create Bukkit plugins and use the NetBeans IDE.

Thanks for your time, NipplesOfTheFuture

Uhh the .classpath should not be in ^^
I use Eclipse, but I'am happy that it can be also build with NetBeans

It should be possible, I will add this soon
