Compatible Permission Plugin With EssentialsX

[ZardosCraft]

(Lol sorry This is my 3rd post of the day) Anyway I can find a permission plugin that works with EssentialsX because PermissionsEX will not work (which is the one everyone is saying to use) so is there any permission plugin that is compatible with EssentialsX. Thanks!

[Stormbow]

PermissionsEx 1.23.4 is fully functional up to Minecraft 1.12 and works with EssentialsX going back to Minecraft 1.8 (when EssentialsX was first created for Spigot servers after "Essentials" was discontinued because of the Craftbukkit DMCA fiasco).

If there is some feature of EssentialsX that you're having problems with, you can give me specific details about it and I can tell you how to get it working correctly.

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow Oh well I tried installing PermisionsEX with EssentialsX and it says "PERMISSIONS MANAGER IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. IS PERMISSIONSEX ENABLED"

[Stormbow]

That usually means there's an error in the formatting of the permissions.yml file. A lot of people use very outdated examples when they make their file and end up getting that error.

You can take a look at this example for the most up-to-date file, using all options except multiworld settings. A multiworld settings example can be found right here.

All of the info in these examples can be entered into the file either using Notepad (Notepad++ is better) or by using PEX commands.

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow Are you good at this kinda stuff? Could I send you my permissions.yml and could you tell me whats wrong?

[Stormbow]

I'd say I'm pretty good. :-)

Let me see what you have (Pastebin) and let me know exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

e.g., I want people in GroupNameHere to be able to DoThisActivity.

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow Ok Thanks! Heres The Link:https://hastebin.com/zevogiyelo.php

I corrected all of the errors in your permissions.yml file, for use on any Minecraft server from 1.7.9 to 1.12:

Test that out on your server, and if you find out that a user/group can't do something specific that you want them to do, let me know which user/group and what they can't do. Then I'll help you get that fixed too.

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow Ok I just added it and it says Im in the "Owner" group but my Prefix doesnt show up in chat..

[Stormbow]

Ok I just added it and it says Im in the "Owner" group but my Prefix doesnt show up in chat..

This is actually handled by a "chat management" plugin.

If you're running a Spigot server, you could get EssentialsXChat and Vault to display those in-game for you.

As for the /wild command, is that from the WildernessTP plugin?

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow its from https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/wilderness-tp.18431/ and ok thanks I already have vault but ill get EssentialsXChat

[Stormbow]

Cool. I found the plugin with that command right as you replied. LOL

To give everyone access to /wild, add the node wild.wildtp to the group named "Default" and everyone else will inherit the permission.

You can see the other related permission nodes you may want to give to groups on the Wilderness-TP page.

[Stormbow]

Once you have EssentialsXChat installed, follow this guide that I wrote to get it setup correctly.

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow ok thanks and also i got two more questions xD 1.If I want to edit the prefixes can i use Like the underlining code and the bold code and stuff? 2.My name is Red also how do i make my name normal and just my rank red

[ZardosCraft]

@Stormbow Also could you add the /wild in bc i just tried and it all stopped working xD

[Stormbow]

1. If I want to edit the prefixes can i use like the underlining code and the bold code and stuff?

Yep. All of the formatting codes are usable. Just be sure you use the ampersand & instead of the section symbol §.

2. My name is Red also how do i make my name normal and just my rank red

You'll do that using the formatting codes I linked above. Change the colors using the color codes and use &r to reset the color back to default after whatever you wanted to be colored is done being colored. For example, in the permissions.yml file, if you set "Owner" to have prefix: '&4[Owner]', EssentialsXChat will display this in chat when you talk:

    [Owner]ZardosCraft: words you typed.

The color code &4 turns the [Owner] prefix red, but we didn't tell EssentialsXChat to reset to the default color, so it remains red for the username and the words they type in chat.

To fix this, we'd use something like this for the prefix: '&4[Owner]&r'.

[Stormbow]

Also could you add the /wild in bc i just tried and it all stopped working xD

Usually that means something was changed in the file and now the file contains errors. Show me the complete file again.

[ZardosCraft]

ok https://pastebin.com/wQXcBiSD

[ZardosCraft]

and Ik its not lined up but even when i tried lining it up in didn't work

[Stormbow]

Oh, you didn't add spaces at the beginning of wild.wildtp. Line 19 of your paste, add 4 spaces at the front of the line, and 1 space between the hyphen and the permission node wild.wildtp.

You can fix that, easy! :-)

[Stormbow]

What didn't work?

[ZardosCraft]

ohh 4

[ZardosCraft]

i added 5 xD

[Stormbow]

That'll do it. :-) (Make the error, that is.)

[ZardosCraft]

And btw does the [Owner] Rank have access to all commands?

[Stormbow]

And btw does the [Owner] Rank have access to all commands?

Yes, because of line 109: - '*'. That's called a "global permission node" and gives you absolutely everything, even things you don't want. When you find something you don't want, make the Owner group look like this:

    permissions:
    - -something.you.do.not.want
    - '*'

[ZardosCraft]

oh ok

[ZardosCraft]

and btw i added 4 spaces and it says "PERMISSIONS MANAGER IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. IS PERMISSIONSEX ENABLED"

[Stormbow]

Be sure to add that one space between the node and hyphen:

    - wild.wildtp

[Stormbow]

    -wild.wildtp

will cause errors.

[ZardosCraft]

lol i just did it lemme see if it works

[ZardosCraft]

yep it did

[ZardosCraft]

but its letting members use /gamemode

[ZardosCraft]

I didnt put that as there permissions?

[ZardosCraft]

oh cause im oped maybe?

[Stormbow]

Yep. Don't use OP at all. That's for Vanilla servers which don't use any plugins at all. :-)

Using OP when you use plugins can make you think things are OR are not programmed correctly on the server.

[ZardosCraft]

so should i deop my self?

[Stormbow]

Definitely.

[ZardosCraft]

ok and anyway how did you say to change my name color (not rank) cause i dont want it red xD

[ZardosCraft]

it was red before i installed permissions and essentials

[ZardosCraft]

wait i need to add &r

[Stormbow]

Here are all the parts of the prefix, as far as EssentialsXChat is concerned, that is:

[ + the group name + ] + the username + the words they type.

You can change all the formatting codes and color codes as much as you want in the prefix: option for the group.

[ZardosCraft]

wow Bro You have been the biggest help EVER your so good at plugins I have looked EVERYWHERE for some1 like you...If you wouldnt mind me asking would you like to by [Plugin-Manager] or even Co-Owner if not i totally understand just my server needs someone like you cause we all suck at plugins xD

[ZardosCraft]

If so ill give u IP

[Stormbow]

Thanks for the compliment. :-)

I've been working with @zml2008 (the programmer for PermissionsEx) for something like 5 years, so I'm extremely good with PermissionsEx. I've run a couple servers of my own over the years, too, so I've got some knowledge of the various plugins and how to get them working in PEX.

But... I don't actually play Minecraft very much at all anymore. LOL

I appreciate the offer though, and I'm happy to help out with anything permissions-related as needed. Just post here in the PEX tickets and I'm usually the one to handle them. (The programming questions and SQL database questions have to be answered by @zml2008.)

[Stormbow]

I'd love to come see the server though. Which version of Minecraft are you running?

[ZardosCraft]

1.11

[ZardosCraft]

thx

[Stormbow]

Beautiful. What's the address?

[Stormbow]

(1.11.2 is my favorite, at the moment.)
