Server is survival my character was in creative and I used /chess create board board1 -style large to create the boards. I had it happen to me into places, both in the same world, but a little distance a way.

No errors showed up in my console and it is working fine now.

Thank you for this plugin btw!

Works great, most of the time.. Sometimes when I make a new board, the bottom corner (where I stand when I create it) will be missing and in its place a deep hole all the way to bedrock, that is actually a glitch, as you can not enter the hole. Deleting and moving the board usually fixes it.

Wow! Already nailed the issues. Awesome.

In the mean time I just put the board lighting at 0 (stays dark on creation so long as a game isn't started then it has a very faint light source) so I could place it and worldedit it (though this would be so much easier if I could just create the board into two WE points from the start) into its proper place without leaving those lighting aftereffects.

Your comment about "I can probably force chunk relighting on board deletion if necessary" has me wondering if it is possible (if not to time consuming or hard of course) for you to add in a way to change the board lighting with ease.

I was thinking maybe a command that can easily handle lighting changes for the board area that the player is standing in when its issued. Say like /chess light dawn/noon/dusk and /chess light 1-15 (for finer lighting controls), but most importantly /chess light off so that it creates no lighting at all outside the torches on certain included pieces. Though the light off would be really ideal if it had a lighting active game/lighting inactive game option for the board so you could do say inactive off and active noon.

Right now I can shut the server down, edit lighting in board file, and bring the light effect up little by little (just cannot reverse it atm without deleting board and doing my WE fix).

Just some ideas/suggestions/pipe dreams there, but if anything even just a lighting off at all times option so that only torch light on certain pieces shows would be awesome. I have some board layouts I wanted to do where the board lighting would interfere with the ambient surroundings and lighting ideas I wanted to do.

Anyway, thanks again for looking into those first issues and being so quick about getting fixes already.

How do I get rid of the lighting after a board has been deleted?

I already used worldedit prior to this plugin so when I delete the board it puts everything back the way it was, however, it does not return the lighting effect to being normal. So now at night time I have a huge full sunlight square area wherever a board was.

EDIT:

Well other than stacking blocks real high 10 out from the board edge and selecting that and its opposite corner and doing set 0, undo to remove the lighting and replace the blocks. Has to be an easier way.

Also, is it normal for the plugin to send [severe] Could not pass even PlayerInteractEvent to ChessCraft org.bukkit.event.EventException to the server client when a player with permissions false hits any of the game signs? As I check my permissions setup as my default groups (moving up I've already narrowd this down to being due to them having - -chesscraft.basic for their permission group as when I promote myself back up to the next group that has - chesscraft.basic it allows all panel sign interaction without the error.

Normally this was not an issue in the past since when a player was blocked from building they were also blocked from interacting with objects (doors, buttons, signs, etc), but I needed to block build on my spawning world (which is also used for common gatherings and events) world while allowing interaction with objects so I figured out that with essentials I could bypass the permissions plugins build: false to still allow interaction with those objects (while not being allowed to build) so now this happens on any group that has - -chesscraft.basic whether build: true or build: false unless I set the object use blocking back to prevent in essentials. For right now its not a huge deal to do this, but it makes it a bit harder to pull off as I have to work around with more permissions groups.

Maybe add a built in check so that if the player with false permissions pushes the signs it sends back a msg "you need chesscraft.basic true to interact"?

Awesome thank you!
