Posted Jul 29, 2013I'm adding several new features, including expiring protection, a few administration commands, and 'falling block protection'. (See gdude2002's comment for the last one.) I'll have a working build out after I've added them.

I could add a configurable option that will remove any blocks that fell on top of a protected block. That would result in a loss of the block.
There is already a command to transfer ownership with worldedit. Just select the area with worldedit, and do /wtransfer <player> All blocks in that region will be then be owned by that player. Also, if you omit the <player> parameter, it will un-protect all blocks in the selection.

That's okay, I understand. :3
I was wondering if it'd be possible to prevent people covering stuff with sand/anvils/gravel/etc by building a platform over the build and dropping things down onto and around it.
EDIT: On our creative server we move peoples' builds to another world when they rank up. Is it possible to claim these blocks for them? If not, would it be possible to take a worldedit selection and set the ownership of the blocks within?

I do have the code hosted at my own private git site, but I'd rather not release it. I would be happy to add any feature requests you may have though.
@slade87 I certainly will. PM me if you'd like access to the git site.

Sahweet.
By the way, do you have a code repo or a build server for this? One thing that always bugged me with the last set of releases is that there was no development build server or code I could build my own version from. If you don't have those, I could host them for you (if you want)..

Posted Jul 10, 2013@gdude2002 This uses the same configuration / location. I do enjoy being called awesome =D
@ScrimCraft It should, but I'll have to check it. If I overlooked something, feel free to submit a ticket. Yes, it does support flat-files, but I'd highly recommend switching to MySQL if the server is more than 15 - 20 players, and you have it available. There are also commands to switch from flat-files to MySQL and vice-versa.
@JaackMC I do enjoy being called brilliant =D
@MagykCraft Im glad I could help =D

Posted Jul 10, 2013You, sir, are an awesome person.
Does this use the same configuration files as the old WatchBlock, or is it in a new location? Are the files the same?

Posted Jul 8, 2013Does this protect frames, paintings, and every other new blocks?
Edit: Does this also use flatfiles so I can use previous owned blocks with this one?

/wdeleteplayer is still broken. I'll go fix it right now.
Other than that, everything seems to be working fine. If not, just submit a ticket.

Posted Jul 5, 2013I was refering to every blocks that have been added since slade dropped the support for the plugin and do you know if commands like /wdelete player work now?
If the rest is like it was, that would be epic for performance.
Give me your paypal account email. I might give you some help from time to time.
I was relying on this plugin so bad.

If you're referring to blocks new in 1.6.1, such as hay bales, and blocks of coal, then yes.
