Me and a friend wrote out permissions ex for the server, but when you do /plugins it shows up red (everything else is green) and it doesn't work, if you try to do a permissions ex command nothing happens but the error message doesn't show. this is the permisions we wrote: groups: Member: default: true prefix: '[Member]' build: true permissions: - essentials.help - mcmmo.skills.* - essentials.keepxp - essentials.warp.list - essentials.warp - essentials.chat.color - preciousstones.benifit - preciosustones.benifit.heal - essentials.rules - mcmmo.ability.mining - essentials.tpdeny - essentials.helpop - mcmmo.ability.axes - mcmmo.ability.excavation - mcmmo.ability.swords - mcmmo.ability.unarmed - ChestShop.shop.create - ChestShop.shop.buy - ChestShop.shop.sell - essentials.back - essentials.delhome - essentials.home - essentials.mail - essentials.mail.send - essentials.msg - iConomy.access - iConomy.payment - essentials.r - essentials.spawn - essentials.tpa - essentials.tpaccept - essentials.tpahere - essentials.tpdeny - essentials.sethome - essentials.back.ondeath - mcmmo.chat.partychat - mcmmo.commands.party - essentials.warp - essentials.warp.list - treasurechest.access Dedicated: default: false prefix: '[Dedicated]' inheritance: - Member build: true permissions: - essentials.afk - iDisguise.<sheep> - iDisguise.<cow> - iDisguise.<wolf> - iDisguise.<cat> - iDisguise.<chicken> - iDisguise.<pig> - iDisguise.undisguise - essentials.depth - essentials.list - essentials.me - essentials.motd - essentials.balance - essentials.ping - essentials.workbench - essentials.rules - essentials.seen - essentials.signs.use.disposal - essentials.suicide Youtuber: default: false prefix: '[Youtuber]' inheritance: - Member - Dedicated build: true permissions: - essentials.hat - essentials.fly - multiverse.access Helper: default: false prefix: '[Helper] ' inheritance: - Member - Dedicated - Youtuber build: true permissions: - essentials.enderchest - essentials.jail.allow - essentials.kick - essentails.tempban Administrator: default: false prefix: '&1[&9Moderator&1]&f ' inheritance: - Member - Dedicated - Youtuber - Helper build: true permissions: - essentials.home.others - essentials.nick - essentials.fly - essentials.tp Co-Owner: default: false prefix: '&9[&bCo-Owner&9]&f ' options: rank: '0' inheritance: - Mod - Donator - Member - Guest - Moderator build: true permissions: - essentials.gamemode - essentials.give - essentials.god - essentials.clearinventory - essentials.workbench Owner: default: false prefix: '&6[&4Owner&6]&f ' options: rank: '0' inheritance: - Mod - Donator - Member - Guest - Moderator - Co-Owner build: true permissions: - '*' users: users: newo88: group: - Owner paintedpawz: group: - Helper this is the config: multiserver: use-netevents: true permissions: debug: false allowOps: false user-add-groups-last: false log-players: false createUserRecords: false backend: file backends: file: type: file file: permissions.yml updater: true this is the config: multiserver: use-netevents: true permissions: debug: false allowOps: false user-add-groups-last: false log-players: false createUserRecords: false backend: file backends: file: type: file file: permissions.yml updater: true plugins I have installed: Adminessentials, chestshop, permEx, essentials, iconomy, idisguise, mcMMO , multiverse-core, multiverse-inventories , Multiverse-netherPortals, Multiworld, easypermisionsex, permisionsranks, preciousstones, treasurechest, world edit, world guard. It would be great if you could look over this and find the fault, we have come so far writing all this just to give up with permisions ex. many thanks - newo88 bump Please can someone help I'm getting desperate EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
newo88 Could you please paste your pex permissions file into pastebin.com and give us a link to it? Pasting directly into the comments gets rid of your formatting and makes it impossible to check for syntax errors. Some problems I can see already are: 1) build: true is not in an options: section, which it needs to be if you're going to use it. 2) Your inheritances are redundant, which can cause problems. If Dedicated inherits from Member and Youtuber inherits from Dedicated, then you don't need to list Member on Youtuber's inheritance because it is included with Dedicated. All of your higher ranks have this problem. 3) Your Owner and Co-Owner groups are inheriting from groups that do not exist. You can't do that. One other thing, please don't bump posts more often than once every 24 hours. I know the front page fills up fast and you're impatient to get your problems solved, but it's just poor forum etiquette.
newo88 Fixed: http://pastebin.com/X7XmDJs5 In addition to the 3 things I'd listed before, you had a couple of your group names out of alignment and there was one tab sneaking around in there that needed removed. Your config file should be fine the way it is; usually the pex config doesn't need messed with.
JaguarJo , thanks for all your help but it still seems to error red under /plugins and the nodes don't take action. I appreciate the help you have given me.
newo88 hmm...well if it isn't loading at all (hence the red under /plugins) then it should show some kind of error during your startup log. Could you paste that so we can see if there's any hints in there as to what could be wrong?
it just says it found the permex folder empty if I recall, I shall find and post the exact wording there was some random letters in the config, I removed them and it all works like dream, thanks EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
