Bukkit

@xemnes1

long story short, no it can't.

i don't know your server set-up but if its a small server you could use WorldGuard's regions to specify suiteble boundaries per area, or some specific areas.

on a side note if anyone wants to offer an insight and wishes me to elaborate on this issue, i'd be happy to explain.

edit--

well i guess it could be fixed, but it would require me to mod bukkit to implement events for vines, i think, and i have no idea if i would be able to do that XD. on top of that it would require everyone to use my modded bukkit version if they want to use vinecontol, which is a nono for some people.

@xemnes1

you are not doing something wrong. due to limitations in the bukkit api, im using a far less than efficient method of detecting vinegrowth, vincontrol kicks in whenever a vine is placed, manually or grown.

so a side effect of the growthspeed setting is that it also effects manually placed vines.

@ukballer1012

Vinecontrol will put the global config back in on start-up... look at it as a default for all world and regions.

so your config is: (order might be different)

global:
  setting 1
  setting 2
  etc.
world:
  possible world settings
  region:
    possible region settings

if you have no settings defined at "possible region settings" they will default back to the world settings, and if they are not there the global settings.

assuming you have settings there, they should work... can you send me the config.yml, or delete config.yml and retry configuration using the commands?

@ukballer1012

known problem... will be solved in next update...

now all settings of a world or region need to be defined for vinecontrol to work

with next update settings will be inherited meaning these problems are gone.

i was wanting to include more in this update but i'll look into uploading it now...

edit-

v0.08 is uploaded try it ;)

@Sk8Sanctified

don't worry about that :P i totally understand... to be honest if you compare functionality of worldguard/worldedit to vinecontrol, vinecontrol seems like an add-on kinda thing that is just there till worldguard takes care of vines

try opening vinecontrol.jar with winrar, inside it is a folder called meta-inf containing a file called manifest.mf, if you open that file in wordpad or similar and edit:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: ${main.class}

into

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: ${main.class}
Class-Path: WorldEdit.jar WorldGuard.jar

the error on startup should be gone i think

@Sk8Sanctified

responded in the worldedit page, thanks for the heads up.

@aufdemrand

hmm these are some causes i know off,

vines that outgrew the maxlength don't get cut off (will be fixed in next update)

i have noticed some "quirks" when a block is located above a vine but this mostly seems to result in vines being cut off early

make sure the vine doesnt reattach to the wall at a lower point as this will ofcourse extend the max length.

if your vines are attached low above the ground and the minimum length is not reached before they hit the ground they will not be cut off.

if it's not 1 of those try to determine what the different is between the vines that grow to long and the rest... maybe some screenshots of the vines + wall/ledge they are atached to. if i can reproduce the bug i can troubleshoot it.

p.s.: next bukkit update promises a broad extension of the api so hopefully vines will accually get theyr own events giving me more control.

p.p.s: next update might be a while commands are not perfect yet, and im busy with some other stuff atm... i will try to balance it a bit.

@DaveAkumu

at the moment all i can think of would be to track all the vineblocks in the map and put counters on all of them, i have no idea how to start doing that though. or what effect something like that could have on a map whit alot of vines,

i'm almost done whit the commands, after that i plan to make it save the config in sqlite. if nothing else comes up i'll look into it i think.

btw i just updated to mc 1.0.0 and confirmed vines spreading sideways, are you talking about 1.0.1 pre-re;eases?

@DaveAkumu

is that gone in mc v1? all i can find is that they stop spreading sideways when there's more than 4 other vine blocks near.

anyway i think that that is something beyond my capabilities at this moment.

im learning everyday though:P

i'll keep it in the back of my head for now.
