Hi there,
I was trying to implement your mod but I get a exception when I deop myself ingame and try to place a block into one of my friend's protected force field area. I am not sure if I am just not setting up the config file correctly, or if my environment is just not correct, or if the new bukkit is borked. I am running the latest minecraft server with bukkit craftbukkit-1.1-R3 and java 6 rev 30 x64 on a 64 bit version of windows 7.

edit: I forgot to mention I am also running essentials mod, iauction, iconomy,izone,lockette,mcmmo,vault

Here is the setting I have under force-field-blocks:

• title: Large Protection
  block: 56
  radius: 20
  prevent-fire: true
  prevent-place: true
  prevent-destroy: true
  prevent-explosions: true
  prevent-unprotectable: true
  prevent-flow: true
  prevent-teleport: true
  grief-revert: true
  welcome-message: true
  farewell-message: true
  enable-on-src: true
  mixing-group: 1
  cuboid: true

and here is the exception I get:

Hopefully I just did something stupid and you can tell me off on what it is. Thanks!

oh the formatting on the force-field-blocks is correct just git doesn't want to display it correctly T_T

Looks like a there are no permission groups configured in your permissions plugin, or the config is fucked up. What Permisisons plugin are you using?

oh ok. I don't think I am running any permissions plugins but essentials plugin may have something hidden? I deleted the other plugins and deleted the permissions file and it still gives me the same issue. should I have a permissions plugin or what?

Yea its EssentialsGroupManager. I recommend you remove it and install PEX or PermissionsBukkit. PS requires a permissions plugin to work.

ah ok thanks. guess i should have read the setup more carefully.
