The worldedit wiki is the place to start.

The airblast thing isn't a bug, it is a new feature. It has no height limitation on the person who made it. If you have reset your config like you said, it is still balanced in its normal uses.

I'll check into the bugs when I can.

@cadika_orade

How have you managed to miss the part in every one of my posts where I have mentioned that it is a bug that will be fixed, by me?

Why are you so resistant to the idea of believing me that when I say the "quick fix" you are asking for will not care if PEX says they can't fly? Do you think I wouldn't know what removing those lines of code would do? Do you think your experience as a server admin has given you insight into one particular brute force method I invoke?

You are welcome to do as you say you will, and remove the lines of code I mentioned. You will see why I call it a quick fix and not a REAL fix which would be much harder to do.

I'll spare you the suspense. Every tick of the server, the Bending plugin goes through the entire list of players on the server. It checks if the player is flying. If that player is flying, then it checks to see that the player CAN fly, by definition of Bending itself or by creative mode. If they can not fly, it removes their flight forcibly. This is where the bug lies, as Bending has no concerns for other plugins which allow flight.

If you remove this code, then anyone who gains flight briefly by bending will be able to continue flying at will, forever. It won't care if PEX has disabled commands, it won't care what other plugins say. And bending grants temporary flight often, for example Tornado, WaterSpout, Catapult and FireJet.

I'll spare you the details on WHY I chose to do this, because at every point when I have tried to give you them, you have resisted because you are not in my shoes.

This is why I am saying you have not read. You are accusing me at every post of not making this "feature" (which I have clarified it is not) optional, even though every response has been me saying it is on my to do list.

You continue to accuse me of not using logic, when in reality you simply don't understand what I am saying because you have not spent any amount of time coding this plugin. Maybe now you will see how I can call it a "quick fix" to remove the lines of code, and why that actually creates more problems. This is why I said I have idea for a better fix, but they are not nearly so simple.

Finally, I did not write the wiki, nor do I maintain it. It is a cheap shot towards it, entirely unnecessary, and at least we have a wiki. And the next time YOU develop a plugin as massive as this one, how about YOU maintain a more thorough change log for the dev build before taking a second cheap shot.

The errors you two are reporting are intriguing. I can't help but think it's some issue with Bending and the most recent Bukkit or permissions plugin.

As you can see for yourself, I'm doing nothing special on my servers. From my experience, the Bending plugin works out of the box. Additionally, nothing in the dev build changes anything to do with the bugs you are reporting.

If I were here, I'd test it with no permissions plugins at all, and on the 3 different Bukkits currently in use (1.4.7, 1.5.1 and 1.5.2) to see where your bug is from. Alas, I'm not, so you'll have to troubleshoot for yourself. If you find a solution or the cause, please post it here for others. Good luck!

But definitely I'd investigate permissions, as that sounds like the root of your problem, especially if Ops can do it. But like I said, nothing with permissions has changed with the active bendings like Lightning and FireBlast.

@Mrdementor2

Yes, I use WorldEdit's restore/snapshot feature to fix the arena after a certain amount of time. I'd look it up.

I use ServerSigns (more complicated) to allow users to restore the arena with a cooldown.

One final thing - the command "/b reload" will reset all earthbending. I'd recommend using that before restoring an arena with other plugins, so you don't have any weird reappearing blocks.

@Mrdementor2

You can disable bending with a plugin that disables building. For example, if you use WorldGuard and disable building in a region, bending will also be disabled. If someone cannot build because of factions, they also cannot bend, and so forth.

As such, with the 1.1.0 dev build, you cannot create an arena which allows bending but disables building, which I explained why in the question in linked.

FireBlast's explosion only heals if you have something that heals TNT explosions, like CreeperHeal.

@nathank33

I didn't see the part of your post towards me. Thanks about the WallOfFire - I'm quite happy about the new version too.

PhaseChange wasn't haphazardly done like the originally WallOfFire. While, of course, I'll look into any major causes of lag, I have doubts that I could improve performance of that ability - it necessarily uses a lot of CPU power to check frozen blocks and whether they should thaw or not.

@kitzmaan75350

For the possibilities of doing XP or otherwise turning this into an RPG, check the F.A.Q., as I first said.

@Mrdementor2

You editted your question to ask how to block bending while blocking building and breaking. The question under the FAQ I posted to you answers that.

@cadika_orade

...

You have selectively read what I've said, misread, and misinterpreted so many things. You are making accusations and assumptions which are just not true. And the one time you called me on a "contradiction", it wasn't even a contradiction.

I'm not imposing my server policies on others. I don't think people who allow flight in their servers are just wrong. You are frustrating me, putting words in my mouth.

The anti-fly thing is classified as a BUG, not a feature. As I said in my original statement, I want to fix it but it is not easy. If you'd like to take a go at it, the source code is on github. I cannot, like I said in my original post, even work on fixing it until I'm back in the states in 2 weeks.

That you think this BUG represents my policy on flyhacks in servers, my view on server owners, or shows that I wish to IMPOSE this upon others is what's infuriating.

I clearly stated that this was how the plugin had to develop. Without this "bug", almost all the movement utility features of Bending would be broken by vanilla Minecraft, as it thinks its flyhacking. And if you think Bending would be at all popular if it required a server to allow flying across the board, you are sorely mistaken.

This "bug" is not easy to fix. As I said, again in my original post, I have an idea on how to do it, but I will repeat that it's not easy.

Your comment about fixing this by the end of the month (heck did you mean by TODAY? that's ridiculous) or dropping Bending from the server sounds an awful lot like a threat. Which I don't respond to, even if I could (which, as I said, I can't).

You need to chill, read all of what I say, or hey, read a little bit of the comments which came before you, MANY of which were talking about flying where I explained even further. In fact, if you would have taken the time to read the "known issues", you'd know that that both know of this bug and will be working on a fix.

Last bit: people paid for flying. I get that, and their frustrations. The quick fix you're asking for - to disable the anti-flyhack code I have - is indeed a simple fix. It's literally deleting a few lines of code. But it would mean that every single player on your server could fly. Regardless of permissions (even PEX), regardless of plugins, they'd be able to fly when they wanted to. You think your players would be more or less happy paying for something that everyone has now? This bit is just for curiosity, nothing more.
