ive installed the newest version of voxelsniper that is compatiable with minecraft 1.4.7 and new files have been created, being the items list and sniper configuration. other that those nothing else has been made. when i open my server the commands appear to be functioning however the arrow and gunpowder remain unchanged and i cannot do anything related to the mod. i am unsure if i am merely missing a step or if i have done something wrong with my server. any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have all the commands, i just cannot edit anything.

Make sure you have the right permissions. Furthermore, make sure that no
other plugin cancels interaction event with arrow and powder and that no
other plugin prevents the world from being changed by a plugin. If that
still doesn't fix you issue post a complete list of you plugins.

for permissions, i cannot perform in game permissions to use voxelsniper. when i attempt to it calls an unknown command. there is also no created folder for snipers as the only 2 created items being 'items' and 'sniperconfig' . as for my plugins, i only have voxelsniper, and a folder called PluginMetrics, which i am unsure of the use, the folder PluginMetrics contains a file called config with the following text

http://mcstats.org

opt-out: false
guid: f2104ce9-be3e-4fa1-9756-f6ce99c871f6
debug: false

which i am unsure the purpose. however the folder is created every time i run the server and i have not been able to find information regarding its use.

Your help is greatly appreciated..

The mcstats folder belongs to the mcstats extension.
I don't quite understand what you're trying to tell us with your text.
However, I guess you either haven't set up the sniper permissions (yes, we
are using permissions and no text file based crap ) correctly or you've got
multiple versions of the sniper jar file in your plugins folder.

im sorry, im all quite new to this. when you speak of permission are you talking of in game permissions? or permissions as the result of a text file?

I am talking about the Bukkit permission system. Look it up on google. That
should explain most if your question.

yes, i havent set up permissions at all, thank you very much for your help. thank you.
