Players on minimap

[Siddic]

Heyah Folks,

I'm running a server for a group of RL friends and we've seen on other servers the ability to see players on the minimap, i cant find the plugin that enables this, can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks.

Go look on the Rei's mini-map thread (on mc forums), it tells you how to do it there.

As JGreen Said, check Reis thread. But I've one better. Get the plugin called CommandBook. Made by the same people who made WorldEdit and WorldGuard. Once u have that, the settings u need to change are listed on reis thread. Here's the links.

---------------Better yet....heres the info you seek...-----------

`0`0: prefix

`y`w: suffix

`B: cave mapping

`G: entities radar (player)

`C: entities radar (animal)

`R: entities radar (mob)

`P: entities radar (slime)

`Y: entities radar (squid)

`2: entities radar (other living)

examples.

All enable.

`0`0`B`G`C`R`P`Y`2`y`w

Cavemap enable.

`0`0`B`y`w

Cavemap and EntitiesRadar(player,animal,slime) enable.

Get CommandBook Plugin.

After if generates the files.

And heres a link to all the cool CommandBook Commands.

like stopping time...

/time <-l> <world> <time>

-L <---locks time where u set.

*Hope this helps you. And everyone who needs this info.

I'm having a few problems. I did all of this, and the default motd is like

Hello, whoever

The time now is this and you're in world whatever

This is the default CommandBook MOTD! Adjust it in the config.yml... and so on

now I found that in the config.yml file, and got rid of the part about how it's the default message, added `0`0`B`G`C`y`w after the world name and it still shows the default MOTD, every time. am I missing something here?

Thanks!

after u restart the server. if u deleted that message then it should be gone.

After u put the code in it will open the option in your minimap settings.

yea but. I honestly have no idea what is going on. it seems to recreate the config file everytime. over writting what ever I did. I am so confused. and sometimes that config file is like, a really shortened version and then i change that, and then it goes back to the larger 'version' of the config file. It's hard to explain what's happening and I bet i sound crazy but it's true.

usually only resets if you botched something. hmm. one min.

Heres my config. hope it helps.

cool, your config file works great! Thanks! it looks just like mine, I have no idea why mine didn't work. I wonder if it's the fact that I was editing it with notepad. I'm not sure if that would effect it, it's the only thing I can think of.

[JGreen1996]

It could have been that you edited it whilst the server was on and (idk how command book works) when you restarted it it saved the config it had in memory back to the disk which over write your modified one.

Possibly. You didn't by chance use the tab key when spacing your config did you? Thats a no no with yaml config files.

Best editor for these type of things is Notepad++
