This plugin uses an updating api to automatically download updated from bukkitdev. the auto-updater page can be found: Here Auto-Updating can be turned off by opening the file "/plugins/updater/config.yml" and changing "disable: false" to "disable: true".

MCStats Divider

This plugin uses metrics to record data. If you wish to turn this off simply go to your plugins folder then into the PluginMetrics folder and then open the file config.yml and change opt-out: false to opt-out: true. Metrics is helpful to see stats about how your plugin is going, like how many servers are using it.

Examples of what data Metrics collects:

* Server Type / Version

* Java Version

* Minecraft Version

* Metrics version!

* Amount of players

* Operating system & version

* Auth mode

What data metrics does not collect:

* IPs

* Nicknames

Here is one of the graphs that metrics generates:

you can use the api to do this. It exists, but i would like to do more with it. basicly, add playertrails to your build path and do

Player p = ???; UPlayer uplayer = PlayerTrailsApi.getUPlayer(p) //remove feet trail uplayer.setFeetTrail(null); //remove head trail uplayer.setHeadTrail(null);

there is currently no good way to set the trails using the api, which is something i would like to add in the future.

Is there a way to disable the "Your feet/head trail has been turned off" message in the chat window? I made a "King of the Hill" type game where players get rewarded with money if they're standing on the platform at the top of the mountain (they have knockback swords and bows) and for every ten seconds they stay on the platform, I reward a few dollars. When they receive the money, I play a sound and activate a trail for a few seconds, then disable, but the trails messages keeps spamming the chat... Thanks. Loving this plugin!

I am using /trail block (id), I type in the id and it works but then it still waits for me to type something not allowing me to type in chat. I have reloaded, turned off both trails but I'm still unable to type in chat without the plugin thinking I'm typing in an ID.

what are you doing to create this error? because on monkey and i's server it works fine. are you doing /trail (and opening menu) or /trail block (id)?

I am having one issue that I do not know how to solve. I do /trail block (id) and then works but it still waits for an argument so I'm not able to speak. How do I quickly solve this?

You should make it so that the /trail menu only shows trails you have permission to. Along with that, if they dont have permission to any trails, it should not open the menu.

@ChillaxTeam

this would be caused by a modded minecraft. This plugin uses packets for many of the trails and if it cannot find the packets then it will not work.

For most of the trails in game it gives this error. I am on version 1.6.4 MCPC. "git-MCPC-Plus-jenkins-MCPC-Plus116 (MC: 1.6.4) (Implementing API version 1.6.4-R2.0-SNAPSHOT)"

I am using the version "2.41" of you plugin.

My Error: http://pastebin.com/5zRtG6ac

I am not sure if this is happening becuase this is a Modded Bukkit Server or the plugin is broke.

It shouldn't create any lag no, we've been testing it on my dedicated machine running 5 Minecraft servers and Lilypad and my CPU usage for the whole unit never went over 5%. It's been made as efficient as possible.

One thing though, the EXP trail *might* be the most intensive because it's spawning entities but it shouldn't be noticeable.

This is cool, does it cause lag if lots of people on a server have it active? I'd love to implement this for donators or something like that.
