Seems legit enough. (I use mv with no problems) I was just wondering because it might have been loading worlds after cs, causing issues. Hopefully that yml file I sent you works.

What plugin do you use for multiworld? (Multiverse, etc.)
Also, be sure to delete/rename signs.dat before using that signs.yml.

Nope. Everything looks fine. I'll import it for you.
NOTE: While importing I got a null due to the world inflection not existing. I just made it but please make sure you have that world.
Here's the file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38069635/CommandSigns/signs.yml

I added that as a temp feature so you could import your signs and be done. Why do you still have signs to import? Are you making new signs with [command] instead of with the commands?

The system is designed to import old signs. The error that you're having is on a line that is basically impossible to have an error on...

Posted May 11, 2012I will try tomorrow. But, obviously, being able to import existing signs is vital. Did you look at my signs file? Is there nothing there that helps?

Posted May 11, 2012Can you try backing up and deleting signs.dat and starting again, just to see if it works?
BACK UP.
I can't even see how that error would happen.

Posted May 11, 2012Sorry zdb,
Signs did not work and no yml was created with the test version.
There was an error on loading the pluign:

Posted May 10, 2012Here's my first iteration of YAML saving. It will auto-import your signs.dat and rename it to signs.bak, as well as making a new signs.yml file. Please note that this is a test release and should only be used if you want to give feedback or are having trouble saving in earlier releases.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38069635/CommandSigns/CommandSigns.jar
EDIT: I just wanted to say that this new system is really much better than the old one and like I said it'll make adding more stuff in the future easy. (Since everything is a named key and yaml lets you supply default automagically)

.yml will make updating the config much easier, because everything will be a named key.

yml would be good! It would make it easier to read and we could bulk edit signs much more easily. Please update the yml on each change too :)

Always the same signs it appears, I'd say half in the same area work - half don't.
And it didn't simply reduce the file size, it killed half the signs.

Reverting from the dev to the stable would reduce file size because the new signs have much more data.
@Jong1
Could you shut down the server with a sign and pastebin the contents of the signs.dat before you start up?
EDIT: I think I'll rewrite the saving and loading to use a yml file. (It'll be much cleaner)

Posted May 9, 2012I am currently using commandsigns in a way so that I can use them for a quiz, Is it possible to limit how many times a player can use a sign so that I am able to limit how many times a player can take this quiz?

Tried again zdb with your latest from your post below.
Sorry, but same problems
Nothing saved until the server is properly stopped. Maybe this is by design, but it is risky and different to every other plugin I know.
signs.dat is saved when the server stops but the signs do not work after the reboot.
I've reverted to your last official version and that works fine provided I manually run the /cmds save command. Very cool by the way! Just exploring some of the power! Just created a sign with a group permission that removes that permission for that user when it runs, so making a sign that the user can only run once! :) Fantastic
