Bukkit

For you lazy retards who can't read previous pages, here's the deal.

This plugin WORKS with CraftBukkit 1.2.5 R3 !!

The config.yml is NOT yaml. Use 2 spaces for indentation, not 4 as usual for YAML.

BACKUP your config.yml before re-starting the server.

Do NOT give other admins or operators access to the /perm command, they WILL break your config.yml if they do not know what I'm telling you right now.

If you still don't know how to use this plugin, consider either stop running your own server or use PEX or GroupManager for permissions.

And take this post with ease, I'm not angry just a bit upset when people ask the same question over and over again because you're too lazy to read older posts.

The build permission is permission.build Just set it to true, or just do this ingame: /permissions group/player setperm groupname/playername permission.build and it will auto set to true. Also, its permission.build for all permission plugins, as far as I know

@Loel97

You should probably just go with the normal config, then do the rest ingame. So just leave the config alone, unless you want to make a new group, and do /permissions to see the ingame commands, which are also operable from the console. Ingame is easier because it creates files for you. If you want to add a group, do something like this: (SORRY FOR THE LONG POST)
# PermissionsBukkit configuration file
users:
  yourusername:
    permissions:
      permissions.example true
    groups:
    - user
  matthiaswagg:
    groups:
    - admin
    permissions:
      bukkit.command.gamemode true
      bukkit.command.give true
      door.open true
groups:
  default:
    permissions:
      permissions.build true
      chairs.sit true
      magicchest.sort true
  admin:
    permissions:
      permissions.*: true
      bukkit.command.gamemode false
      chairs.sit true
      magicchest.sort true
    inheritance:
    - user
  user:
    permissions:
      permissions.build true
      chairs.sit true
      magicchest.sort true
  prohib:
    permissions:
      permissions.build false
      bukkit.command.kill false
    worlds:
      creative:
        coolplugin.item true
    inheritance:
    - default
messages:
  build: '&cYou do not have permission to build here.'

In that config, which works fine btw, I added the group prohib, standing for prohibation. Hope that helped

@MrFrostmaul

v1.5 AND v1.6 work perfectly with all the 1.2.5 builds, and recommended builds. Just to clear that up... If you ever aren't sure, just test it with the latest build on your server

Can someone please guide me how to use this plugin?? I dont seem to understand the commands and how to change the permissions for pepole on my server! HELP

@SiLenT0ne

Yeah, I've managed to work around nearly all the issues currently in the plugin (config issues, wiping the config, wiping permissions, destroying formatting, etc), and I can continue with it in the current state as long as the plugin works. However, once I am forced to move to the MC API or Spout, I have absolutely no clue what to do. I can deal with plugin updates and manually rewriting permissions if needed. I can't deal with manually porting several hundred promoted players. Worst-case, I suppose I'll manually repromote any staff and donators, then allow my staff to deal with repromoting all the regular players.

@firemylasers

not to offend to the dev, but don't hold your breath on that, this plugin only seems gets updates when its forced to (ex. the code clean up for 1.2) and after those changes it just disappears. I've gotten fed up with all the issues in 1.6 (including the terrible new format in 1.6) so I jumped on to PermissionsEx its much better than this plugin once your used to it.

It's been nearly two months since the last update. Does anyone know if/when this will receive an update?

On another note, I hope someone picks this up for the MC API or Spout, as I use this on two servers and having to re-do the config file from scratch would be a major pain (especially so with the player rank list!). Most of my permissions have been offloaded to the root superperms file, which is a great solution (and I'm working towards moving them all into there), but moving hundreds of people who were promoted onto a new plugin would be pretty much impossible.

I can't seem to let someone build, how do I give them that permission?

@wxisxawesome

What's the problem then? I've run 1.6 since relase and it's still working WITHOUT any errors at all.

Tip to everyone

• 
  
• take backup of the config.yml before you change it
  do NOT use the ingame/server /perm command if you dont know the correct syntax
  the config.yml is NOT yaml! use 2 spaces for indentation, NOT 4
  

guys, don't you read the older comments??? I've already told you that the config.yml is NOT yaml.

use 2 spaces, not 4 and you'll be ok

oh and one other thing: take a backup of your config.yml before you use the /perm command!

executing command 'perm issions' in plugin PermissionsBukkit v1.6 at

Instead of perm issions, use permissions for the command.

If that was your problem, but I might have misunderstood your problem.

I hate that feeling that you know your server is crap without a plugin. Then the plugin has a bug. Then you go and make a ticket telling him/her the problem. Then finding out that a lot of other people have submitted tickets and the developer of the plugin hasn't looked at any of them. Then finding that the plugin developer WON'T DO 1 THING ABOUT THE PLUGIN MAKING IT SO I'M NOW VERY PISSED. Srry for the all caps rage.

Whenever I add a permission to a group, and start the server it says "[SEVERE] [PermissionsBukkit] Unable to load configuration!" I am trying to put in a node for Simple Prefix, please help! Heres a link to the config file. (If it helps) Im using CB 1.2.5-R2.0, and PermissionsBukkit v1.6

1.2.5 :-)

Hello, I recently installed a new plugin, but when I put in all the permissions into the config.yml and reload it, it says, 'Failed to load config.yml!' and deletes it all. I'm not sure what's wrong with the config.yml, maybe someone could help me.

Thanks for your time.

When i try to use the command to add someone to a permissions group i get this:
