Bukkit

Seeing their inventories and chests is really cool, but it would be nice if there was a command to turn it off. I like to spectate people on my second monitor and if they open a GUI while my mouse is clicked out of the minecraft window it will revert back to my pause/menu screen.
Also, you should probably list the commands in your overview, took me a little while to find the /spectatemode command ;)

Sweet, I can't wait :) This might be really dumb but someday maybe even turn it into more of a bot if your using it like I would on a second pc. Where you could actually send console commands say you are like oh shit whats going there a pause command or a fast back on a console or another MC account with perm lol.

Like I said might sound dumb but as I see this plugin it should be called Kick Ass Security System Plugin :P

This plugin is amazing. I want to use it as security Camera on a separate PC. Any chance of doing spectate <secs> type command and have it just rotate through the players over and over?

Can you make a permission so you can only spectate ranks below you?

Actually, I believe I fixed the server. I totally deleted everything about my bukkit (plugins, batch file, jars...) and re-downloaded a new one, and with no plugins currently installed, me and my friend can both get on fine now. I'm going to reinstall all of my plugins and try Spectate again. I will post the report (copy, paste) if it fails again. If it succeeds, I will edit this comment. I should be able to get back with the results later today or tomorrow. Thank you for you help.

I would find the report in the Minecraft files, not the Bukkit files, right?

EDIT: I'm bad at trying to say something the first time... Do I need to access a specific file, or reboot the server with Spectate installed again (to reproduce the issue) and copy/paste that report. I'm pretty sure Minecraft saves the reports to a file, but I'm failing to find it.

I was playing on my server with a friend and tried to spectate the player, it worked for a little while but then Minecraft crashed, and it kept doing so every time I tried to get back on the server. I restarted Minecraft (obviously because of the crashes) and I restarted my server. I could get on fine but my friend could not, and we were both using the same configuration (hamachi still open, refreshing server list, etc.) I uninstalled Spectate from the plugins folder and that still did not fix the problem. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Also: Minecraft displayed an error report that I could post if you need it.

There are a few bugs I would like to report..

I would like to enable this plugin for just a single world on my server.

I tried to do this by setting the spectate.cantspectate node on all users and overriding that with the -spectate.cantspectate node on the level I want to use it on. This works, except when scrolling through players, even though they have cantspectate it still allows me to scroll to them. (I did change the config to true for the cantspectate)

Also using spectate.use doesnt seem to make a difference with or without it or with the anti-node -spectate.use. I can use the command anywhere (I am not an OP while testing)

I am using PEX

I know it can be done through other admin commands but do you think it would be an idea to make a third spectate mode that just putting the player in creative flying mode without any build/destroy permissions while spectating? Another option could even put users at a view from spectate points (possibly signs placed with certain wording)?

I spectate someone and I get their inventory afterwords.

Chipmunk: Did you ever get it so spectated players can use splash potions? I think the last build I used (1.7.1 I think?) had spectated players hitting the spectated players if any potions were thrown, just it basically hit themselves.

Thanks.
