CompassEx
CompassEx 3
Your compass, but heavily improved.
This plugin allows you to easily set your compass to different positions. You can set it to coordinates, players and of course, back to spawn.
Features
- Set your compass to players, coordinates and your current position
- Save your location or current compass target for later use
- Make saved locations private or public
- Automatic updates to player positions
- Set yourself as hidden, so that you cant be tracked by others
- Admins can follow even hidden users
- Economy support with Vault for
save,private, andpubliccommands - Dynmap support
- Multiworld support
Commands
The original CompassEx command /compassex has also aliases: /cp and /compass.
Warning: Since CompassEx 3.0.2 only the /compassex command will always be available,
/compass may be used by another plugin!. See Bukkit aliases
for more information about how to set /compass to /compassex for conflicts.

Basic commands to set your compass target.

Saving and Loading
CompassEx allows you to save locations by IDs which can be later loaded.
Since CompassEx 3 these are seperated per player, so that multiple players can have locations saved
with the same name without conflicts. Public locations are also possible.
However, these will be "shadowed" by private locations, for example if there's a public
location named home and a player has one home too, then when loading, the private location of the
player will be used.
To create public locations, first create a private one and then publicize it.

Info Commands
These commands show some information about your current compass target or a saved location if an ID is given.
An ID may be just an ID (your own private location), public followed by the ID (a public location) or a
player name and the ID (a private location of someone).

Installation
Just copy the jar file into your plugins folder, start your server so that the config gets generated and stop it. Then edit the config file at will. Now start your server again.
Permissions
Heads up! The rename commands use the respective compassex.remove, compassex.save and
compassex.publicize (if the location is public) permissions.
Extra: If you want to have players automatically hidden when they join, give
them the compassex.autohide permission.

You are right. This was a bug in 0.7.0, but has been fixed in 0.7.1, which is only compatible with Bukkit for 1.1. Because there is no official release, you can only download it on Github. The download link is here.
Edit: The new version is now approved. You can download it directly here.

Thanks... fully working, and beautifully might I add. You may want to change your description of the plugin and let people know that all permissions are given, and those nodes need negated for anything you do not wish people to use.
Thanks Philipp15b ;)

This happened because users had all permissions (except the `admin` one) by default. I changed it and it should work now. Again, the fixed file needs approval now, but you can download it already at GitHub.

Posted Jan 4, 2012Why is it, that permissions do not seem to work for this plugin... at all. The only permissions I am giving is compassex.here, compassex.set, and compassex.reset... yet, players have access to /compassex player as well as /compassex.hide...
So... permissions broken completely?

You are right. This seems to be a new bug with Craftbukkit 1.0.1, since I'm sure it didn't appeared before. I'm working on it.
Edit: Somehow I forgot just one character... Should be fixed now in build 5. It needs approval now, but you can download it already on GitHub.
