Hi, My name is JamesS237 and I own the server EdgecraftMC, I am always trying to find ways to control my server from elsewhere, I currently use the plugin Spectate for ingame monitoring and use Adminium and JSON when I'm out. I am wanting a way to use the same principles of Spectate to go about it. An example of how it would work would be like logging into a webserver like dynmap and clicking on a person, bringing up their first person view. It could even have support as to editing inventorys and other basic controls using JSONAPI I have a good knowladge of Java, HTML, PHP, JS and a few other languages but I am new to bukkit. I would be able to work on the web interface but not the plugin itself. If any help is needed creating it I can help. Ideas for commands: /ws start, /ws stop Ideas For Permissions: webspectate.bypass - Bypass the spectating When I'd like it by: Soon Thanks. JamesS237
There is already a plugin called Spectate, but you need to be in the server. not sure if its what you want.
I may mistakingly misread your thread, and I do apologize. As a reminder, you should try not bumping your thread too often.
Wow, Thanks! I am able to do the web stuff, pretty much I need the info to be streamed to http. Thx Chipmunk!
@Chipmunk9998 I see that spectate is licensed under All Rights Reserved. Would you be okay with contributing a bit of your source to this plugins development?
I've often thought about this idea, but always disregarded it as silly and impossible. *watches thread*
This is feasible using JSONAPI or some custom API for Bukkit. The Bukkit part of this would actually be fairly straightforward, it's the web coding that would be tedious (if simple enough). That said, you're going to need far, FAR more detail on what functionality it should have laid out before any dev should even attempt this.
For all the devs wanting info on how I want this program to run and operate, this is for you! You would open your browser and navigate to a page such as http://serverip:8653 and then you login using credentials set in the configuration. You would see a list of players and their current location on a map, you click on their skin and it gets the Ida of the 32^3 blocks surrounding them and the browser puts it together onscreen. The plugin would then use JSONAPI to get the users inventory contents and display it on the screen, chat, console control and even health would be streamed. Then from this web page, mods/admins could control players, tp them, force them to say things and preform commands. And that is my explanation of web spectate! James
I could do the JavaScript, I just need a few people to do a servers side plugin with a server and the details I need. If I'm in a position to ask, could @codename_B and @Chipmunk9998 help me craft the plugin?
The server side plugin is easy, like crazy easy. Tell me what format you want the data in, and I'll give it to you. Could just give you an array of ids if we're doing 32*32? Like a giant sized chunk, send you the players position and rotation, and let you do the rest?
@codename_B - I'll PM You, I don't want the details getting too loose yet. @McSpazzy - JSONAPI is only for chat and inventory stuff
I beleive what you're trying to acheive (after seeing your pm) is far too ambitious. Strip down what you aim to do, and we can work on it.
