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".
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.

@LetsFailerHD
np, thanks for making it!
@Sothatsit
Thanks :)
@Adondriel
the permissions were just broken, it should be fixed now
i have released v2.41
changes:
@HexicDragon
thanks! :D
@Adondriel
After you choose a mob, you have to Say the mob name, not do a command, so just say "pig" or whatever, also that is a glitch and i will get to work on it ASAP.
@ItsFallout
I will disable "/t" it in the next version.
@LetsFailerHD
thank you very much, i will add this to the page!
Here is a german Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQIfqwx80Ik&hd=1
Please disable /t as a short command. I run a fairly large Towny server and /t = /town. Please make the trails disabled on default with clearer permissions like Adondriel said. This could be something great but right now I have to remove it.
I want to use this but I don't want all of my players to be able to use the entire thing by default... why would you make all of these command default to allow everyone to use them??? Please add clearer permissions because apparently negating them does not work at all... or the /trail menu system bypasses the permissions. I m not sure but i really like the look of this plugin but it is currently unusable because the permissions seem broken and you can occasionally get stuck in mob selection mode where no matter what you do it keeps trying to make you choose a monster.
This plugin is amazing. Great job :D
If anyone has any screenshots of trails in action, in groups or by yourself, i would love to have them as i will be making a gallery of them all!
@Pr4w
1 step ahead of you :D in the new version which is currently waiting to be approved going /trail will open a menu to set your feet trail and going /trail head will open a menu to set your head trail. then if the trail requires arguments it will ask you to say the args in chat.
Hey !
Do you think it would be possible to have a Trail Selection Tool ? Eg /trail tool will give you a watch/compass/fire/whatever, and on right-click it opens up a chest menu that displays all the trails you can use (you have the permission to us) ? :)
@jjkrause
thanks for the reply :D
firstly, that would be a really cool introduction and i will look into adding it in the next update.
secondly, they should be able to see it, theres no reason they shouldnt D:
Awesome plugin. Would be perfect if you could get this to work with command blocks...
ex: /trail @p ember
Note: Other players cannot see the Portal effect when used on the head. /trail head portal
@iiHeroo
thanks so much! :D
I was going to make this, but you did so much more than I thought that was capable, I won't make it anymore, and use this amazing plugin now.
@ltjim007
the new version is not out yet
just wait! xD
its version 2.3 which is going to come out
You may have downloaded the broken version which i accidently uploaded.
@Sothatsit
I am using the current version and 90% of the trails still dont work :/
@Justintime4you
turns out it was a compiling error of the jar, i have fixed it now though.
