bPermissions
bPermissions
Welcome to bPermissions, a Superperms Manager for Bukkit! bPermissions focuses on being unique from the rest of the Permission managers. It's very simple to set up and use, it's lightning fast, fully featured, and has a great support team!
Some features:
- bPermissions has a gui client specifically designed to make running a server so easy that you'll forget that you ever used any other permissions plugin. Get it here!
- bPermissions has a unique command structure, never before seen in a permission manager. It's best used for adding lots of nodes to a user or group from the console or in-game, less typing!
- bPermissions has everything you would expect from a Permissions manager. Prefix and suffix support, inheritance, per-player permissions, multiworld support, promotion/demotion tracks, and even group priorities for multi-group setups.
- Note - bPermissions only defines prefixes and suffixes. You need a chat plugin such as bChatManager for them to show up in chat.
Commands
Say you have a user called 'Bob' and you want to put him in the group 'admin' and give him the prefix 'awesome'.
- /world yourmainworld - selects the world "yourmainworld"
- /user bob - selects the user "bob"
- /user setgroup admin - set bob's group as "admin"
- /user meta prefix awesome - set bob's prefix to "awesome"
You can do the same with groups!
- /world yourmainworld - again, selects the world
- /group admin - selects the group "admin"
- /group addgroup moderator - makes the admin group inherit from the moderator group
- /group meta prefix &c[Admin] - sets the admin prefix to "&c[Admin]"
Some other commands are as follows
- /permissions (or /bperms,/bp,/p) - general commands for bPermissions are prefixed by this
- /permissions import pex - import a pex permissions.yml in the pex folder
- /permissions reload - reloads your bPermissions files
- /permissions save - if auto-save is false, this saves your perms
- /permissions backup - backup your permissions
- /permissions helpme - for the lazy among you, this spews out some basic permissions files into your folder.
In order to use these commands, you'll need the permissions node bPermissions.admin
For configurable /promote and /demote tracks, you'll want to use permissions tracks. To read about those, visit this page
Want more commands? We have some others over on the commands page. Check 'em out!
Editing Files
bPermissions creates per world groups.yml and users.yml files in the bPermissions folder, which allow you to configure permissions on a per world basis.
Because bPermissions was designed to be configured largely via commands, bPermissions will often overwrite changes to these files especially if you /reload or restart the server.
If you've edited the files, you MUST use /permissions reload to load the modified files into the server, otherwise the permissions changes won't apply. Because a standard /reload unloads all plugins like a server stop, we cannot tell the difference between them and this will overwrite changes to your files with whatever the server last stored.
World mirroring
Worlds are mirrored like so:
world_mirroring_to: world_mirroring_from world_nether: world world_the_end: world
This duplicates the whole config for that world. Currently there's no way to have just the users or the groups mirrored, stay tuned for an update that adds this!
bPermissions and EssentialsChat
Allow me to put this issue to bed. Essentials Chat + bPermissions works for prefix and color.
This guide is for current users of EssentialsChat and want to use bPermissions along with it.
Players have colored rank prefixes and faction chat modes are also colored. All text can be colored by the players too using color codes such as &c.
bPermissions\world\groups.yml ( code snippet )
default: default groups: ## Peasant ## default: permissions: - group.default - group.userannouncer - group.userauction groups: - userannouncer - userauction meta: priority: '100' ## Citizen ## rank1: permissions: - group.default - group.rank1 groups: - default meta: priority: '200'
It has nothing configured for prefix but the group names are important (default, rank1)
Essentials\config.yml ( Code Snippet )
change-displayname: true #add-prefix-suffix: false player-commands: - chat.color - chat.format - chat.shout - chat.question chat: radius: 0 group-formats: default: '&8&lPeasant &r&8{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' rank1: '&8&lCitizen &r&7{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' moderator: '&e&l[Mod] &r&3{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' admin: '&c&l[Admin] &r&e{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
Please direct all other Essentials support to their official support networks.
How do I get support?
First, we highly recommend you go read the FAQ page. If the answer isn't there, there's a few options of support.
- Visit the #bananacode irc channel on irc.esper.net. Just head there, as your question, and wait for someone to help you. It might be a while before you get an answer, so be patient!
- You can file a ticket. This is recommended if you don't have the time to hang around in the IRC or you have a bug report. Be prepared to check back to the ticket though, and make sure you attach your bPermissions groups and users yml files to the ticket.
- Comment on the bPermissions main page.
Note that as there's only one (slightly inactive) maintainer at the moment, any support queries may take some time.
However you choose to get support, "pls dont use txt spk," and make sure you use actual grammar.
I'm a developer!
If you wish to hook your plugin into bPermissions, please see the Developer Page for more information! If you wish to contribute code to bPermissions, fork us on GitHub!
Development builds of this project can also be downloaded from GitHub now. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff, and are possibly buggy. Use them at your own risk.

Ok, that helps... it must be ' tracks: ' that isn't needed. But i used your tracks.yml example and based on that it didn't work either.
Thanks for not caring to give me some insight about my mistakes by just saying 'It's very simple, your tracks.yml is in the wrong format.', and for not bothering about the other problems i've mentioned in my message. Sorry for being such a noob and not being someone like you (i'm no plugin-developer and don't know how to code).
If you're tired of helping noobs such as me then simply don't respond. My question wasn't specifically aimed at you but i saw you respond to someone else and thought you'd overlooked my message. I actually somewhat expected to get an answer like that.
-TLDR-
This is an awesome plugin people. But if you're a newb/nub/noob, don't expect to get help besides being told that something isn't right or you should read the FAQ's/DOC's/Manuals. This despite the fact something can be easely overlooked. ;-)
- <sub>its like saying u've solved a problem, but don't care to explain how you did it''</sub>

It's very simple, your tracks.yml is in the wrong format.

bPermissions doesn't handle building - it's likely the node you're after is essentials.build or similar.

I know that i just thought that it would show the Group in front of the Name..... do you know of any plugins that i could use to have [Owner] in front of my name?

Posted Feb 17, 2012Theres an issue other people are having, and then fixing, but not saying how they fixed it, and I'm having the same issue:
Nobody but OPs can build after installing bpermissions. Is there a specific setting that should allow or disallow this? Anything else you need to know?
Any help appreciated :)

Perhaps I didn't explain that right. No one can build on my server except ops, I tried to put in bpermissions.build and bpermissions.admin in my groups but an error messege shows up. Help?
Edit 1:
I just realized that I am on bPermissions v2.8.2, this is because v2.8.6 does not work with Essentials. Any other ideas?
Edit 2
Nevermind! I just fixed this issue :D thankyou.

Ok. Here's my current tracks.yml
It could be wrong but i've tried many different variations and they all didn't work :-/
The command i did was /promote player-name track-name, but in the given output the player-name and track-name are sometimes swapped, which gave the following result:
That track (player-name) does not exist!
edit: The commands i previously used don't seem to work anymore > /p global setgroup rank player. The output i get is: /p save|reload (this even happens when doing /p backup or /permissions backup and other commands)
Tested @ RB 1.1-R4 with no other plugins installed/enabled.
update: As a workaround for the above problem i'm now using the commands found on http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bpermissions/pages/bpermissions-command-list/, but of course i prefer to use the more simplified /promote /demote.

There is a version of essentials that works with it!
@NotDan
?
@MrCreeperhunter
bPermissions is not a chat plugin - it simply provides the information to other plugins

This plugin doesn't provide that part. Yes you can put in prefixes and colors but to actually get them you need a separate plugin. One plugin that I know that works is HeroChat I'm sure that there's many others out there but this plugin doesn't have to code to actually enforce the prefix it just gives a spot that can be enforced by another plugin :D

If you paste your tracks.yml and then show me the command you tried to do that'd help :)

Posted Feb 17, 2012Thanks for the continuous updates! :)
One problem: Whenever i need to give someone a higher rank (e.g. promote), it always tells me that it couldn't find the (named) track. I did everything as stated by the examples but it keeps spitting out that message.
My workaround for this is to /p global setgroup newrank nameofplayer, which is tedious and stupid.

I'm aware you may be angry that I finally removed all the old stuff I was supporting, but you can't go about supporting everything forever!

Posted Feb 16, 2012@SERVERCONSOLE To be fair. Why would you use something as bloated as essentials?
Use commandbook, customize it and use commandhelper to make aliases so you still can use the same old essentials commands.

So bPerms doesn't work if you are using Essentials?? I had the same problem as maxander42. I posted a question about it that never got answered. NO ONE on the server could place blocks EXCEPT ops. Hmmm. The opposite of what you told him. Is this something you would care to shed light on or does it simply not function with Essentials?
Thanks
