Users are randomy hidden on the map

[georgeswwbush]

Hello With a fresh new install of dynmap 0.36-3, and even with 0.37, all my users are hidden by default on the map (added in the hiddenplayers.txt file), although I have no parameter to request that.

Even if I manually show the player (dynamp show), at the next login, the users goes back to hiddenplayers.txt file. I noticed the add to the file occurs at the user login.

I'm using, with dynamp, some specific plugins: Dynmap-Essentials Dynmap-SimpleClans Dynmap-WorldGuard

Here is my configuration.txt file (with 0.37):

Do you use VNP? I know it ties into our APIs, and will tell us to hide or show players. We NEVER add players to the hiddenplayers.txt 'automatically' - only via player commands and external API calls.

[georgeswwbush]

Sorry, but what is VNP ? If you mean virtual server like Hamachi, no: it's a real dedicated server.

Mabye it can help, I installed the SimpleClan plugin nearly around the same time this behaviour started... However, I see no option on SimpleClan to automatically hide players.

And this occurs even with players not belonging to any clan...

[mikeprimm]

Vanish No Packet - if not, what is you plugin list?

[mikeprimm]

OK - took a peek at the source code for Dynmap-SimpleClans, and it appears that it may set all players hidden each time they log in. As I don't own Dynmap-SimpleClans, I can't really explain why this is the case, but I can say that I can't do anything about it. Please confirm that the behavior follows this mod (that is, remove it and confirm that player stop being hidden), and I suggest contacting the author of Dynmap-SimpleClans.

[georgeswwbush]

Sorry.... I finally found the trick. From the SimpleClans addon for Dynmap page (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/dynmap-simpleclans): "....

All players are hidden by default, no one likes to have a bulls-eye on their foreheads at all times. ...."

thanks for the attention, and sorry again for the disturbing.

Regards
