Setting up PEX
drc187 opened this issue · 11 comments
Hi,
I've followed the tutorial for PEX and cannot get commands to work for me even though I'm an Admin. I'm given the error "I'm sorry you do not have permission to perform this command. Please inform the administrators if you believe this is a problem."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my permissions file:
groups:
default:
options:
default: true
rank: '1000'
permissions:
- modifyworld.*
Admin:
permissions:
- -modifyworld.mobtarget.*
- modifyworld.*
- permissions.*
options:
rank: '1'
prefix: '&0(&4Admin&0)&7 '
Member:
options:
rank: '900'
prefix: '"&0(&8M&7ember&0)&7'
permissions:
- modifyworld.*
VIP:
options:
rank: '800'
prefix: '&0(&eVIP&0)&7 '
permissions:
- -modifyworld.mobtarget.monster.creeper
- modifyworld.*
Mod:
options:
rank: '100'
prefix: '&0(&1Mod&0)&7 '
permissions:
- -modifyworld.mobtarget.*
- modifyworld.*

Some important things to keep in mind here:
• Vanilla Permissions are not able to be reliably controlled. You can have 2 absolutely identical servers and 1 will be able to control them while the other can not. I have no idea what causes this, but it has been true since Minecraft 1.7.2 onward. I have asked the powers that be what causes this, but no one has ever returned any of my emails or private messages.
• Giving yourself the global wildcard permission node ( * ) is generally a bad idea. After doing this, you potentially have many permission nodes that you do not actually want, and then you'll have to negate all of those above that global wildcard in your permissions.yml file. On servers that use many plugins, this is a massive pain in the ass. On servers that don't use many plugins, it's not as bad.
If anyone needs access to all of the PEX commands (highly recommended for the server owner and no one else), you would use the following command in the server console:
pex user Stormbow add permissions.*
(Replace "Stormbow" with the server owner's name, of course.)
This gives a server owner access to all of the PEX commands, no matter which group they move themselves around to while setting up and testing the server.
(You can still post in this thread. It's just no longer tracked by the PEX author (zml) or myself (the 1.x guru) on the front page of the tickets forum.)
On line 19 you had a " in between ' and ' in the members prefix. If you remove that, it should be fine
Thank you for your prompt response. I changed it and still having the same issue. Here is my log file if you wouldn't mind looking over it .

It doesn't seem to throw errors that indicate anything wrong, in fact it reports loading the groups.
I have a feeling you need to add particular permissions for those commands you're trying unless you're going to use something to compliment PermissionsEx such as Essentials. For the basic minecraft permissions, you can see them here: http://wiki.bukkit.org/CraftBukkit_Commands
As an example, the "/give" command, you'd add bukkit.command.give to the Admin group.
Hope that's what you mean by it's still not working :s
I'm not sure if I'm following what you're saying about adding bucket.command.give to the Admin group. I'm fairly new to this but I'm learning more as I go. Could you give me the example in a line of code?
Also if I add Essentials what can I accomplish with that plugin? And there are server Essential plugins, which ones shall I use? I'm sorry to bombard you with questions, I'm just really excited to get this server to my liking, lol.
For sure, we were all new at this at some point :)
The command you'd execute in the server console would be as follows:
pex group Admin add bukkit.command.give
If you look at this link: http://wiki.bukkit.org/CraftBukkit_Commands#Default_Minecraft_Commands_and_Permissions
It shows you a list of all the commands that you'd be able to execute in normal minecraft without plugins (eg /give, /tp, /gamemode, /ban, etc). With using something like spigot/bukkit with a permissions system such as PeX instead of op, each command has its own permissions so you'll need to add each permissions to the groups you want to have access to them. The link above goes through each command explaining what it does and shows you the corresponding permission (Under the column 'Bukkit Permission' in the table) required for it.
Some other examples (replace "GROUPNAME" with the group name you want):
- To give the "/gamemode" command to a group:
pex group GROUPNAME add bukkit.command.gamemode - To give the "/ban" command to a group:
pex group GROUPNAME add bukkit.command.ban.player
Essentials is basically a plugin that provides a wide range of features from other plugins. I don't think I should talk about it too much here considering this is a help section for PermissionsEx, however here's the link to the Spigot resources page to the latest iteration of Essentials, EssentialsX. You can learn about it here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/essentialsx.9089/
For a little further aid, if you do decide to use it, this is also a handy site for the Essentials permissions:
http://wiki.mc-ess.net/wiki/Command_Reference
Thank you very much. I have a better understand of how it works now. The only issue I have is that I have to put the commands in the server console for it to work. Is there a way to use the commands in the in game console? And also when I give myself a command block I can't place it. It's very frustrating lol.
Yep, basically you just add a "/" to the front of the command:
/pex group...
I suggest for the moment, you give yourself the * permissions:
pex user watnameisleft add *
This will allow you access to every command available on your server, from there you can manage everything. I only suggest this because I can't recall or find PeX having a permission to just manage all groups, they're very specific permissions ( See here: https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/wiki/Commands )
