Let's take a look at your error: org.bukkit.plugin.UnknownDependencyException: Vault

Hmm.. looks like you need Vault. *hint hint*

I'm starting work on implementing a real scripting language. We're currently looking at Lua, which appears to be a good fit and will be more more systematic:

Example:

if player.hasPermission("loves.commandsigns"){ player.sendMessage("Good on you.") }

To clarify, it will most likely be a direct lua implementation of the bukkit api. You'll be able to do anything you can with a normal java plugin.

Just installed 1.8.8.2 and there are now no issues with the "no permission" messages. Great work and thank you!

Hi! I´ve got a problem with this plugin. I made some CommandSigns in a different world than the spawn world, a spleef world. They worked perfect! But then I made 2 signs in the spawn world and on every following server restart the signs in the spleef world doesn´t work anymore(although they are still in the signs.yml). And on the next server restart they will be deleted from the signs.yml and it only says 2 signs loaded( in the server log. (the ones in the spawn world)... I´m using Multiverse by the way. Thanks for an Anwser! P.S.: I didn´t post a ticket because there is no error in the server log in the server log.

Oh I think that explains the behavior I have seen with some plug-ins! Maybe this will help someone else.

For some plug-ins the regular "/cmds line1 /command" doesn't seem to work right. I had a hunger games plug-in that did that. When I did it the normal way, the player's name got added to the game, but it was like it wasn't the "real" player (suspect incorrect instance of the player got added). However, for me I use Essentials on my sever and found the work around was to use Essentials sudo command. By using sudo it tricked that plug-in into thinking the player ran the command themselves and the correct player instance got added to the game.

If you aren't familiar with Essentials, sudo allows an op to force a player to run a command or say something as that player. So when I make a sign that /command doesn't work, I instead create the sign in such way that it runs it as the console forcing sudo on a player. So here is an example for a hunger games plug-in I had to do this for.

I should have been able to do: /cmds line1 /hg join

Instead I had to do: /cmds line1 /#sudo <player> hg join

This is a really annoying recurring issue. Some plugins think it's funny to use the CraftBukkit instance of a Player rather than the API Bukkit instance of a Player. The PlayerProxy is used to enable silencing output, but if it hands back a Bukkit Player to the plugin, it gets confused as it wants a CraftBukkit one.

They're exactly the same thing, just different names!

I'll eventually fix this, but I don't know when.

odd. That seems to work for me. Just tested on 1.8.8.2. I just did following sign...

/cmds line1 $10

/cmds line2 /say hello

and it worked. I know, a lot of $ for the server to say hello :)

What version do you have? Did you try /cmds clear prior?

change line0 to line1, that worked for me. So line1 is the $ to charge, line2 is command to give item, etc.

I got a question, I'm trying to charge money (I use BOSEconomy) to use a command sign but when I type "/cmds line0 $500"

This is what I get

"[CommandSigns] Line number invalid!

[CommandSigns] Ready to add." But when I add the sign to a block it doesn't charge the player. Any idea?
