EE- Cannot disable the nasty grief rings - Please help

[awesomebilly]

Hello everyone! I'm loving the Tekkit.. this is great!

I have spent multiple hours/days searching google for:

"How to disable Equivalent Exchange items"

"How to disable Equivalent Exchange rings"

Etc etc.

I'm having no luck with this!

I have followed this post http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,4144.0.html

and spent 2 hours importing my permissions from permissionsbukkit to permissionsEE. This did not solve the issue.

Clip from my permissions:

groups:

default:

default: true

permissions:

- modifyworld.*

- -modifyworld.items.use.29952

- -modifyworld.items.use.237

- -modifyworld.items.use.27274

- -modifyworld.items.use.27277

- -modifyworld.items.use.27318

- -modifyworld.items.use.27328

- -modifyworld.items.use.27337

- -modifyworld.items.use.27327

- -modifyworld.items.use.27271

- -modifyworld.items.use.27279

- -modifyworld.items.use.27274

- -modifyworld.items.use.27275

The other attempt I was able to find was setting items in the mod_EE.props

AllowArcana=0

AllowIgnition=0

and so forth.

Does anyone have advice on how to disable items in the EE Mod?

I'm not sure if the redundant hyphen is supposed to signify minus permission or what, but I'm willing to bet that's why it's not working. May need to add apostrophes ' ' so it doesn't confuse the permissions.

Example:

- '-modifyworld.items.use.29952'

Also, the modifyworld.* wildcard permission seems contradictory.

Okay I'm new to PermissionsEe

I was assuming that the extra - - meant disable and - mean enable

Example

- modifyworld.items This enables

- -modifyworld.items This disables

I will try adding your example, do I need to do that for every item I want to disable?

Okay I tried it with - '-modify.item.use' this has not changed people able to use these rings.

The Rings from this are so over powered and people burn entire forests down in 5 seconds.

yes, are correct in the usage assuming modifyworld uses that, I have no experience using it so I'm unsure, but the first hyphen signifies a new entry in the formatting of the parameter. Whereas the second is part of the variable to do the opposite, or in this case disable.

This is only a theory and may not be relevant but it's still good practice.

The wildcard should also be contained in apostrophes as well, also the wildcard usually means give all of the permissions. So that may be contradicting your disabling.

the allow things in the EE config file only disable the recipes, and craft table 2 bypasses this for some dumb reason so you may want to just remove that mod all together.

can't help with the permission stuff though, since disabling the recipes has disallowed people from making those items on my server.

Okay, So I've been testing having the ring already. If I disable it in the config I can use it if I currently have it, but I wont be able to craft it.

So a admin can spawn it in, but a user can't craft it? That's sounds decent I will check this out.

Maybe I can create a - '-modifyworld.item.onuse.55727' type of a node to disable the use of the item.

Does anyone know how to make the fire burn out? Currently I have fire-spread off but if they light up dirt it will burn forever.

@ Extant1, - '-permission.node' is this the correct practice and wont cause issues with having the ' '? I like the syntax so I can see it much easier.

So I was about to post saying I have the same problem but thought I’d try solve it... after testing for stupid amount of hours trying to work out why it didn’t work I’ve sussed it out.- Finally!

The following worked for my server and I hope it works for yours! I’m pretty bad at explaining things so I’ll try make it brief and clear.

First: I’m going to assume you can see Not Enough Items (NEI), open inventory and then click the options on the bottom left. Enable Item ID’s to shown.

Next: find the items you want banned and put it into your action bar, you MUST do this! Once in your inventory hover over and write down the ID shown. This ID shown is the true item’s ID, The ones inside the ‘mod_EE.prop’ file and the ones shown when you hover over items in the NEI menu are not always correct.

Note 1: Not sure if it shows the correct ID of an item when it’s in your backpack/inventory so put it into your action bar to be safe

Note 2: Be sure not to get the ID from the NEI menu... I spent hours making this mistake

Next: inside your permissions file make sure ‘-modifyworld.*’ is at the bottom of the groups permission and all the negative permissions are above it, doesn’t work the other way round.

Next: when banning the item enter it like so e.g. “- -modifyworld.items.use. 27530:41”

groups:

  default:

    default: true

    permissions:

    - -modifyworld.items.have.27580

    - -modifyworld.items.pickup.27580

    - -modifyworld.items.use.27580

    - -modifyworld.items.have.27530:41

    - -modifyworld.items.pickup.27530:41

    - -modifyworld.items.use.27530:41

    - -modifyworld.items.have.27531:41

    - -modifyworld.items.use.27531:41

    options:

I hope this works and sorry if this has already been answer elsewhere. I did search the forums but couldn’t find anything.
