Need help adding permissions plugin for Minecraft server

[Ἆxule]

I'm creating my own Minecraft server at the moment and right now I'm trying to find plugins for it. I found out about the Permissions plugin and I've been trying to get it on my server for awhile now and nothing seems to be working. If you would like me to tell you how I'm doing it, I'll edit it in here. Any help would be awesome.

While we're talking about plugins, do you guys know any good ones? So far this is what I have:
-LWC (protects chests, doors, dispensers, furnaces, etc)
-Permissions (working on that -_-")
-Colorme (Thanks to Deacon)

That's basically it for now. I was looking for the plugin that gives you that big introdution everytime you log in, welcoming you to the server and telling you that if you have problems, use /help as well as the message of the day (motd) and your mail.

If you would like to play around on the server and help out with fixing everything until things get going, pm me and I'll send you the info.

Did you delete EssentialsGroupManager.jar and EssentialsGroupBridge.jar?

Well I just deleted everything and started over. I was using Crafty to host the server instead of using the one from the minecraft.net site and one of my friends wasn't able to join. So I figured it be better to just come out clean. The only problem is that when I download the Minecraft.Server from Minecraft.net and open it with Java, it immediatley shuts off. I have no idea what that means. My friends said it might be because my laptop can't handle it or w/e.
Any help on that would be awesome.

And I'll stay away from essentials like Deacon said.

Thanks everyone!

NO

USE essentials

use bukkit to run it.

which will solve all your problems

i dont use bukkit for my minecraft servers.

i use canary its kinda like hmod but better

it is easy to use and all you have to do it place the plugin in the folder and go to server and put plugin name in.

and its done

I'm using craftbukkit now.
I seem to be having a problem with the plugins though.

whenever I try to use the colorme or lwc commands ingame, it gives me a message saying internal error occured. When I do the commands from cmd.exe, it works just fine. Any help on that would be great.

Also, with groupmanager, When I set the suffix to let's say Guest, it doesn't show in game.

and last my IP. for whatever reason, some people arn't able to connect to my server without using Hamachi. I've port forwarded correctly, atleast from this video I did.

Thanks in advance for any help.

ok. I don't know why colorme doesn't work, nor do i know what lwc is. so i can't help you there.

Groupmanager doesn't show the prefix/suffixes without essentialschat, i think.
They don't work on mine either. But there is an option in essentials/config.yml
to sort the /list command by groups (which are default in groupmanager as default>builder>moderator>semi-admin>admin)

You set your computer to a static up? If so...
Your forwarded port is <your static ip>:25565? If so...
Your external ip is <insert external ip>, and you are connecting in MC to <externalip>:25565? If so...
I don't know.

If step 1=no: Do it.
If step 2=no: Do that. Use the instructions on portforward.com which will show you step by step for your specific router.
If step 3=no: erm...you should connect with your external ip. lol.

If none of those work, then idontfuckingknow

I can lead you through fixing this, but it's late and I'm on my iPod
add lachrymose08 on steam
if it's still borked tomorrow I'll help

ok. I don't know why colorme doesn't work, nor do i know what lwc is. so i can't help you there.

LWC is basically protection. It allows you to lock chests, doors, furnaces, and anything else that be activated by people without the use of signs. one command is /cprivate. this will only let you open that specific block.
There are different types too. you could lock it with a code, or lock it for a specific group. I highly reccomend this.

As for color me, I'm not sure why either. I found out that I could edit and modify permissions ingame, so I'll try and see if that works.

I have essentialschat. The problem is that it's not noticing the changes I'm making in my groups.yml and users.yml
I have to make those changes in game which is just a bigger head ache really. I don't know why it's not letting me make this changes with Notepad ++

You set your computer to a static up? If so...
Your forwarded port is <your static ip>:25565? If so...
Your external ip is <insert external ip>, and you are connecting in MC to <externalip>:25565? If so...
I don't know.

I'm not sure what a static IP is, so no. I've tried with my external IP and I've used the port code for 25565. One dude was able to get on it, but someone else wasn't able to. I'm not sure why that is.

If step 1=no: Do it.
If step 2=no: Do that. Use the instructions on portforward.com which will show you step by step for your specific router.
If step 3=no: erm...you should connect with your external ip. lol.

I had forwared my port the same way that site did, so it's not the forward porting's fault. It has to be my IP. maybe I'm putting the wrong IP? I've done like 4 different ones.

If none of those work, then idontfuckingknow

I guess it's just my computer being all weird. oh well, hopefully it'll all work out in the end. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

That'll be awesome, but please don't feel obligated to do so, I'll figure something out eventually.


Thanks Again everyone.

read this article from that site

it is important that you have a static ip, otherwise you will have to reconfigure the server every time you reconnect to the internet.

http://portforward.com/networking/static-win7.htm

Once you set the static ip for your computer, forward the port (25565) with that static ip
Don't forget to change the ip in server.properties
