CraftBukkitUpToDate

Keep your Server/Plugins up to date

After the plugin detect a new build, it download to bukkit_update in the main-Folder. After that you must stop your server and copy the craftbukkit.jar from bukkit_update to your main-Folder.

After Version 1.4 I support plugins if a new version found it download to build_update/plugins. After that stop your server and copy/move the new files to your plugin-Folder

This is no autoupdater, it only download the new Version do the update-Folder, the user have to copy the files. On this way, he know which plugins he update and can check if he like to update.

I recommend to save your old craftbukkit.jar/plugin before update. Not all builds from CraftBukkit work correctly.

Pail Gui-Support check Thread for more infos

Permissions

Permissions/GroupManager is optional else only ops can use the commands. Available permission nodes are (case sensitive):

  • craftbukkituptodate.broadcast - these users get a message if a new build available
  • craftbukkituptodate.plugin - these users can use plugin-Command
  • craftbukkituptodate.update - these users can use the update-Command

Automatic update

For Linux-User, if you like to move your new plugins automaticly, try the script from Myx0x3: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...ugins-up-to-date-400.5026/page-10#post-122380

or for more features use the one from Tealk: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/linux-server-startscript-menu/

or use the Bukkit-Build-In: You can configured it by yourself, all you must do is to open the bukkit.yml and change the update-folder to ../bukkit_update/plugins. I don't recommend this, because all plugins updated automaticly without any user-interactions.

My Plugin didn't supported, how i get it to work with CButD?

There are three ways, you have to make only one of them:

1. Add it to http://dev.bukkit.org/. Your link should be like the jar-File-Name if your jar-File example.jar your link on dev.bukkit.org should be http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/example/. If not no problem you have two other options:

2. Add dev-url to your plugin.yml this should look like : dev-url: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/example/, please replace the url with your one, else it didn't work. Also you should know that only dev.bukkit.org-Urls works.

Here is a example plugin.yml:

name: Your name
main: Your main class
version: Your version
dev-url: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/replace this with your url of dev-Bukkit/
commands:
    your command:
        description: descrition
        usage: /<command> <function> [buildnumber]
        aliases: [alias1, alias2]

3. If option 1 and option 2 didn't work for you let me know this and I add it to my plugin.properties. Please remember I only support dev.bukkit.org-Plugins.

Also you should know that your project at dev.bukkit.org should contain file-Downloads, else I have no chance to check for updates and download the newest version.

FAQ

Did the plugin.properties update automaticly?

Yes, if a new one available it update automatic.

Did you download all plugins every time to check for updates?

No, I use the rss-Feed of dev-bukkit

Do you automatic update my plugins?

No I'm only download the new version to bukkit_update/plugins you have to copy them to your Plugin-Folder. I will never implement a autoupdater, you are the Admin and you have to choose which plugins you like to update. This is only a little help to do this.

How can I choose if between recommend and beta version?

In CraftBukkitUpToDate.properties set recommendedBuild=true, if you like the recommend Build, or recommendedBuild=false if you like the beta-Version.

Now that Bukkit supports a plugin update folder, will CBUTD add support for it, so we are able to run a /reload after CBUTD runs and have the updated plugins load?

Not by default. But you can configured it by yourself, all you must do is to open the bukkit.yml and change the update-folder to ../bukkit_update/plugins. I don't recommend this, because all plugins updated automaticly without any user-interactions.

    I have a feature request:

    Can you make it so that it can also check an another directory of plugins?

    Reason is that I have a disabled_plugins directory that I store plugins that have begun to malfunction in. Having the ability to check that folder as well would make checking on if those plugins have been updated and ready for new testing a breeze.

    You could make that a configurable option so that only those who need the power to do it can.

    Cheers and awesome plugin!

    I agree, why should we be limited to using the command manually only every 24 hours when the reason bukkit had to many connections was because the automatic update check cooldown was every hour or so, having a 24hr cooldown on the automatic check is perfectly fine, but don't restrict the manual one as well.

    /uptodate plugin
     tells me it has been run less than 24hours ago
    (not good after an update and everything is broke)

    and bukkit's request that there be a 24hr limit should only apply to an automatic process.
    IMHO if their server can't hack it they need an upgrade.

    /uptodate update
    works fine
