Thanks - yes, the -magic.cast.* does not seem to be working. I thought it did. Adding individual lines to remove access to each spell works, but that is tedious.

I'm going to play with this a bit- I see some "-someperm.*" lines in Essentials' default global groups file, so I assume this is supposed to work.

I'll play with it a more- if I really can't get it to work, I'll add my own "default_permissions: true/false" flag in Magic's config. But it really seems like that shouldn't be necessary.

Can you pastebin your permissions? Just for the default group, or for whatever group you're testing with?

I know other servers that are using permissions, so I know that it works- unless it's been broken very recently.

EDIT: Also let me know what group manager you're using. I only test with Essentials GM, but it should work with any.

Oh, by the way- there *is* a bad issue with wands.yml in the current version. I have it fixed in 2.9.0, but it's not quite ready for release- I want to get the config format finalized. Sorry about that! It should be soon.

All players have permission to all spells by default! I don't use permissions in the default configuration.

Fortunately, it's pretty easy- just give the default group

- -magic.cast.*

So they have access to no spells by default. Then the additive permissions should work on top of that.

Same for

- -magic.commands.wand.wand.*

That is if you want to give them /wand - probably better to give out the wands somehow though (command block, sign, admins..)

There is no way to prevent players from using a specific wand should they get ahold of one - though any spells on the wand they don't have permission to use won't work.

Hope that helps!

Just reporting another bug. I have the auto-fill wands option on. I gave the default rank permission "magic.cast.flare" I then proceeded to deop myself and move myself to the default rank. Then I gave myself a wand through the console. For some reason it has every spell.

Basically I'm trying to make a server where you can buy ranks with in-game money and as you progress through the ranks you get more spells. I only want one wand available, is there anyway I could disable all other wands except for the default one?

Ok, I think I found a recent bug that would be making wand.yml changes not really work :(

I'm kind of re-arranging a lot of the config stuff for 2.9.0, hoping to solidify it before release. I'll make sure all the override functionality is working in that release.

Thanks for your patience! :)

default: xp_regeneration: 5 xp_max: 100 modifiable: true

Originally I had regen set to 20. No errors appreared in console, by the way.

Again, thanks for the continued support.

Thank you! I will have to test that out. I recently changed the way spells.yml and wands.yml work (additive to defaults), so admittedly it needs more testing. What did you change in wands.yml, exactly? It needs an xp_max as well as xp_regeneration for mana to work.

Just wanted to report a bug, if you create a wands.yml file and change the value of the default wand it will never regen XP. I tried restarting the server, reloading, everything.

No problem at all, and you're welcome! I'm still working on all the documentation, it's gotten a lot better but I'm hoping to have it wrapped up for 3.0

Thanks!

These are all in the admin instructions page, link above. Spell casting is

Magic.cast.<spellname>

Check the defaults file, all the options are in there with descriptions in the comments.

Yeah, I did for the right click cycle, but I wanted to add keep wands on death and wands come pre-filled with all spells the player has permissions for. I couldn't figure that out

Something is very wrong at twigs temple. Throws an NMS collision error on load. Sorry I have to temp-ban you two until I can resolve it, else the server will crash when you login :(

You can use pnodes like

Magic.commands.wand.wand.<wandname>

Yes, there are two "wand"'s in there- I know it's a little weird.

As for the config issues- what version do you have? The latest version should be reading from the defaults, but then also reading your file to override. Is that not happening?
