Thank you

@bukOhTwo

Both regular WorldGuard Regions and ProtectionStones created WorldGuard Regions have no means to either check if two regions next to each other should be joined nor can be joined.

That maybe a future feature in WorldGuard, but the way ProtectionStones works it will probably never be a feature of ProtectionStones itself.

To make PS fast, small, and efficient it doesn't use it's own database, so the PS names and sizes are fixed as separate regions.

@bukOhTwo

1. Yes you can add new blocks by simply adding more (up to 16 max) to the blocks list please see the section called "ProtectionStones (WorldGuard) Region Sizes" on the Configuration Page

Read that page for more information on sizes.

2. PS Regions are WorldGuard Regions so all the WorldGuard Region priority rules take effect the same. Read the WorldGuard Page for more information on how the different rules work for the priority of regions.

3. Correct, the protectionstones.destroy gives the player the permission to destroy, but only their own stones. As a note if you set the WorldGuard Permission for Ops then a person with that special permission can break the stone also and do other things in any region including PS Regions.

Most of that information is already on the Configuration Page.

If you still have a problem or question I'd be glad to help you further.

ProtectionStones 1.8e

Has been uploaded and is awaiting approval by the Bukkit Team.

Addition: New command "/ps priority" command, if you use it with a number it sets the priority of the PS Region you are standing in, if you don't include a number it returns the priority level of the region. Also changed the "/ps info region" command to list the priority level. The Priority Command has a permission for it's use: protectionstones.priority (defaults to true).

Bug Fix: Bukkit's Changes to the way config.yml's are loaded has left me with no choice but to remove "/ps admin reload" command. I will overhaul all the variables in the program to conform with the changes to the config loading and it's trouble with static variables.

Note: Still working on some kind of work-around for people wanting to overlap other peoples regions, like a server region for people to build in. This option defeats the purpose of the regions and the original scope of this plugin, and currently no easy and efficient means to do.

@staggercraft

Sounds like you made changes to the Region.LIMIT or Group Limits settings in the config.yml file, see the Region.LIMIT and Group Limits settings under Additional Settings on the Configuration Page.

@Random5014

No it's not possible, but you could change the Diamond Ore PS to something else, see the configuration page.

The next version of PS allows for the checking and setting of the PS Region's Priority Level, and I'm working on methods for working within WorldGuard Regions.

PS was originally planned and used as the sole protection for players, and server operators could use regular WorldGuard Regions to protect other areas. At this time I have had numerous requests to add interaction and support for other protection plugins like Towny, but to keep PS lite and fast I can not add these other systems.

The main problem with overlapping regions is ownership. There is no easy method for me to check PS Regions for overlap outside of WorldGuard's API other than WG's overlap check which returns a true or false if you overlap a region you don't own. To do deeper checks would require PS to do multiple check and one of them will require a check of all blocks within the region and check priority levels also, which would slow the plugin drastically.

So at the moment I am looking at alternatives.

@Tiggur123

Do you have overlaping regions where the players are having problems, I think there was some changes to WorldGuard and now people are having problems with overlaping regions. I'm looking into that now.

PS Uses WorldGuard for all it's protection, so if you look on the WorldGuard Permissions Page there is a setting for ops to allow them to override the owner checks.

And PS has a permission setting called "protectionstones.superowner" which overrides PS's Owner check for things like adding members, etc.

@junebugjump

First of all, how did you make it a smaller region, did you break the first ProtectionStone and then place another, or did you use WorldGuard Directly to edit the region.

If you use WorldEdit to regen an area it will erase everything and set it back to the map's seed (same with PS's regen command it uses WE to regen the area). Unless you have a back of the map this is unrecoverable, WE does have an Undo Command but you would have had to done it immediately after the regen.

ProtectionStones uses WorldGuard for all the protection, when you place a ProtectionStone you create a WorldGuard Region, and all the information for the ProtectionStone is held in the WG Region Database.
