HelperBot
DO NOT WORK! - Please do not download!
This is the successor of StickyHelp.
This simple help plugin will read from a text file and HTTP, and output the contents on the screen.
It supports the &(0-9a-f)

- Can remove help file
Permissions Plugins
Works with any SuperPerms-compatible plugins. I recommend PermissionsEx.
Changing command
In case you want another plugin to have the /help command (or other commands), and have HelperBot have another command, you can to this:
DOESN'T WORK AS OF 2.0, KEPT THIS AS REFERENCE IF YOU USE OLDER VERSIONS
- Rename
HelperBot.jar
toHelperBot.zip
- Open the .zip file
- Open plugin.yml with Notepad
- Add a command under the
aliases
section of the command - Save plugin.yml
- Rename
HelperBot.zip
toHelperBot.jar
You need to start updating your plugin.yml to include the new version number. You have it at 0.1 still!

The plugin.yml is stuff that is coded into the plugin, bukkit uses it to recognise what commands go with what plugins, so the only reason changing "help" works is because that's the only command registered so bukkit knows whatever is there, is the command that this plugin will use, hope this helps and isnt too complicated :P
@churooos
That has nothing to do with HelperBot... This is a help plugin, not an alias plugin. If you want aliases, try CommandHelper.
@Delocaz
I was thinking of something simillar to bind, so you can make your own shortcut commands and it will execute the commands that I wish to execute.
But nevermind, I'll just figure it out :D Thanks anyways. Love your plugin.
@churooos
I don't get it...
Hi I was hoping you can explain more what else I can do with the plugin.yml
a template of example would be nice. I learn faster on those. Right now the only thing I know how to do is.
help:
description: Shows main help menu.
usage: /<command> <page>
show:
description: Shows main help menu.
usage: /<command> <page>
Which is basically just being able to use /help <.txt> or /show <.txt>
But they just function the same way.
Is there a way I can run other command shortcut such as /gm 1 will basically switch my game mode to creative. How do I go on about configuring that out?
Thanks Much, Love your plugin.
@Darq_Alder I kinda didn't like the old name.
Nice. But why the rename?
