SkyLink

SkyLink is here to allow your admins to be online for longer times- be it on a Minecraft-incapable computer or an android device(after I take the time to get an android license and learn how to make android apps)!

Support me!
I spend a lot of time on this plugin, so please consider supporting this project by donating! It'll help me run testing servers and other things!
@Tsrizchris
It should! I'm hoping to release an update on Christmas.
Does this still work? :P
I'd like to welcome Timroden to the SkyLink team! He'll be helping me out. :)
@jaggy80
No, no, it's a problem that I'm investigating(and I hope it got fixed when I did a little network patching a while ago). Look out for 0.0.5-Alpha! :) The chat panel now has a little white veil drawn over it when it's disabled and the login dialog has another white veil drawn over it when logging in. :D
Looking good! :) Only problem I seem to have is player chat doesn't show up in the Chat tab.. Other things like plugin responses, chat from IRC plugins, etc show up. I'm guessing this is because I use permissionsex's ChatManager.jar.. the chat messages show up in the console window and the debug window twice but not Chat tab..

@theXald
Yeah, it wasn't approved yet. Anyways, a link if you just can't seem to find it.
I can't see your picture link. Edit maybe? :)
@Technius
I'm not sure I see somewhere to download? am I being blind?
EDIT: I didn't see a link to it, but I just changed to url from 3s to 4s and now I see I was blind XD EDIT2: It works! I'm gonna see about the commands, but names work and I can chat! thank you!
Update: after using this for a little while my server crashed throwing this error on the debug window and my server console (this picture is only the debug for skylink) http://imgur.com/GuEQi < sorry I thought I added it!
@theXald
Released! Enjoy!
About the perms issue, enable debug in the config. Open the debug window on the client, and log in. Can you see if there is any missing data?
@Technius
I look forward to the release!
@theXald
I might have found out the solution. The GUI is not thread-safe, so maybe that is the cause of the problems. I'll do that after I release 0.0.4-Alpha(which may possibly be tonight if I manage to stop myself from playing Borderlands 2).
@Technius
ok, I'll keep watching this I love this idea, and would like to help in any way possible, so I will test every alpha, just a tip when on a local server on the same machine connecting with 'localhost' the names DO show up correctly and I CAN chat and use commands.
I'm even running the server in a virtual machine on the same computer, now so it has a different IP, but the same hardware, so goes between the computer, the router then back to the same computer, and I still get the not allowed to see/use chat but I can see it, with the odd characters. furthermore the & shows up as a ? when using color codes in the same situation as the seeing chat but not having the permissions to see/use, if that helps at all?
I can't wait to see you get this out of alpha man!
@theXald
I'm not really sure what causes the problems, so I'm doing some debugging at the moment. I'll release 0.0.4 soon for the "<%1$s>" fixes.
So.. whats the status on not being able to see chat when connected VIA IP as opposed to localhost?
EDIT: it actually seems to be the same problem as Daniel a page back, all users are showing up as <%1$s> but I can't chat or use commands and so on, I haven't tested this on the server machine as the server I run is on a dedicated mineos+ machine on my LAN.
@An___Idiot
Not really sure. If you could run a benchmark for me, I'd appreciate it.
How much memory does this plugin use?
@dalatorabvon21
You are doing nothing wrong. They're really weird issues, and I'm not sure what causes them.
I'm actually having relatively the same problems that LordMarkXD is having. I add the permissions, set the group, and do all of this in the right order, but when I try to use it it says that I don't have permission to see or use either chat or console. What am I doing wrong?
@LordMarkXD
I'm investigating these issues.
I got this working on a local test server to ensure it would function correctly when I uploaded it to my server. It worked perfectly on the test server so I uploaded the SkyLink folder and the SkyLink.jar to the server but the client could not send chat or console and it said "You do not have permission to see chat" There were NO errors printed on the console and it was installed fine, the ports were all forwarded properly and my account had all the right permissions, What went wrong?! o.O
Here's a link to a list of my plugins... http://pastebin.com/CcYUYF9v
EDIT: I opened the client on the host machine and used "localhost" as the IP and it worked perfectly, Why does it not work for any other computer?
@Technius
Ok thanks for the update!
