HelperBot
DO NOT WORK! - Please do not download!
This is the successor of StickyHelp.
This simple help plugin will read from a text file and HTTP, and output the contents on the screen.
It supports the &(0-9a-f) color codes.
TRY THE 2.2 BETA!!!
It's got the &k color code, shortcodes, custom permissions, multiword pages, language files and more!
(The download is broken so just rename whatever file you get to HelperBot.jar)
Current Version: 2.1
Downloads
How to install

plugins/folder - Start the server, or reload if it's already running

Color Code Cheat Sheet
(Replace # with &)

Permissions
- helperbot.help
- Can read ALL help files
- helperbot.help.<page>
- Can read specified page.
NOTE: Doing helperbot.help and then -helperbot.help.<page> will NOT work because helperbot.help overrides everything else. Do helperbot.help.* and then -helperbot.help.<page>.
- helperbot.addhelp

- helperbot.delhelp
- Can remove help file
Permissions Plugins
Works with any SuperPerms-compatible plugins. I recommend PermissionsEx.
Changing command
In case you want another plugin to have the /help command (or other commands), and have HelperBot have another command, you can to this:
DOESN'T WORK AS OF 2.0, KEPT THIS AS REFERENCE IF YOU USE OLDER VERSIONS
- Rename
HelperBot.jartoHelperBot.zip - Open the .zip file
- Open plugin.yml with Notepad
- Add a command under the
aliasessection of the command - Save plugin.yml
- Rename
HelperBot.ziptoHelperBot.jar

This plugin can do that, if you make files named "pickaxe.txt" and put the text you want it to say in there. Same with sword.txt, hoe.txt, axe.txt and so on.

Posted Dec 24, 2012Is this plugin like players write "/help sword" or something, they will get some information? Like here, about a sword? Like this...
Player: (uses) /help pickaxe
Chat: Pickaxe: a pickaxe is a tool. Its used to mine ores and stone easily.
Like that? If it isnt, is there a plugin like that... or make one like this XD

How does it not work? Get anything in the console? Or does nothing happen whatsoever? Are you sure your permissions are set up correctly?

That is not possible. It's not possible to have the plugin not reserve /help but have it use /help <argument>. You can, however, use CommandHelper to redirect a /help with no arguments to whatever help command you want.

Posted Dec 3, 2012@Delocaz Can you please make it possible to use the default help-thing too? Because like I want, is when you're using /help, the default help comes up. And then when I create a new .txt file in the folder called ranks, you can use /help ranks too...

Posted Nov 30, 2012I have a big feature suggestion for this great plugin... I've been using this plugin for a long time now in combination with CommandHelper so that I could create aliases like /events = /help events, etc and it's been excellent. Though now that written books have been added I was wondering, would it be possible to display help text in a written book instead of in chat? Or does anyone know any plugin that can do this, without adding a book to the players inventory (as it can be traded with villagers or shop plugins, etc).
