Bukkit

@XeonG8

Not for many reasons, it would require constant monitoring of regions, and a timed event running, etc.

You can already get rid of regions for a player who hasn't been on in "x" number of days.

But not regions themselves after "x" number of days.

This is from the Commands Page:

To remove all regions for players with a last logon equal or greater than "days": /ps admin cleanup remove [days]

To remove and regenerate all regions for players with a last logon equal or greater than "days": /ps admin cleanup regen [days]

@simpsda

I was calling the regen via a console type user, but Bukkit has since closed that possible security hole, which in turn stopped he regen from running.

I changed the code to correct for this in the newest release PS 1.8k. Please read the release notes on the download page to see the information about permissions.

@AxelDios

Uploaded PS 1.8k:

Fixed a bug that developed from a Bukkit change for the /ps region regen and /ps admin regen.

They both should work again as long as the player calling those commands has both the corresponding PS Permissions for each command, and has the permissions to use WorldEdit's Regen Command.

Also compiled for Bukkit 1.4.7-R1.0.

@SuperStudMufin

There is already a way to toggle it on and off, this is from the Commands Page:

To toggle on and off ProtectionStone Placement: /ps toggle

And this is from the Permissions Page:

"protectionstones.toggle" for ProtectionStones Toggle Command (default set to op).

Toggle is a per player on and off switch. If it is in it's off state then the player can place the block but no region is created.

@DarmaMoo

No, because the player requires build permission to place the PS in the first place.

@CactusCraftNet

Yes, you can exclude worlds, this is from the Configuration Page:

Exclusion.WORLDS: This is a list of worlds (seperated by spaces) to exclude from creating ProtectionStone Regions.

Exclusion.PLACEMENT This option set to "false" will block the placement of ProtectionStones in excluded worlds and give a message about ProtectionStones not being allowed. If you set it to "true" blocks in the ProtectionStones block list are allowed to be placed but don't create ProtectionStone Regions. Both settings only effect worlds that have been added to the Exclusion.WORLDS List.

@simpsda

The errors could be coming from changes made to either WorldGuard or WorldEdit, which I'm calling to make the changes, I'll test it to see if any changes were made.

@Randomizer27278

I'm not going to add an economies, since you can sell blocks other ways, as far as block since PS doesn't have it's own database I would have to do a lot of server intensive queries to the WorldGuard Region Database to figure out the type of PS's a player has and get counts of them.

There are two current methods to restrict player regions, but not the types of regions (PS Block Types you are looking for), there's a region limit for all players, and group limiting.

I do have another plugin called PropertyGuard, that links to several economies via Vault, that is also tied to WG, it works very differently, and is very early in it's development, it will be gaining many of the features of PS.

@ViscousSummer88

Since PS doesn't have a database of it's own, it has no real strain on load up times for the server, that's a lot of WorldGuard Regions, but even that doesn't really cause to much during load up, what really causes strain on a server with WG Regions is during game play, with lots of players performing actions through lots of regions, and the types of flags that are set on regions, some cause bigger performance hits then others, so read about flags in WG's Pages.

Many servers I've been on already use WG, so that was one of the reasons I tie into it. This keeps PS small, fast, and lite on the server

@ViscousSummer88

There is not means and there can't be to link the stones without adding at separate PS Database, which I won't add to keep the plugins lite and fast.

There is currently a plan to allow players to either clone their flags from one region to another or allow a player to create a default flags set to set them all at once.

Still working out the way I want it to work.

@XvR3LAPS3vX

There are numerous ways to remove it or find where it is:

First off the name is the location of the PS. So if you have the permission to use WorldGuard's Region Command do: "/rg info" to see the name of the PS Region.

Or if you have the permission to use PS's Command do: "/ps region info"

If you are the owner of the PS or have the protectionstones.superowner permission you can use "/ps reclaim" command to remove the region.

Or with WG use the "/rg remove [psname]"
