Before Installation

If this is the first time you are running version 4.0+, please backup and remove/delete the S86 Powers folder in your server's plugin folder.

Important Info

Version 4.0 introduces the new power-loading system. This means powers are now loaded externally rather than having to be implemented internally. To aide in the transition, the external power pack will be included with the core plugin for the first few revisions. All that is required is for you to extract the zip file directly into your server's plugins folder. This will automatically put the power pack where it needs to be.

Also note this version has been updated to work with Minecraft 1.4.6, and is not backwards compatible.

Updates

Commands / Permissions

Most commands and permissions are unchanged. Full documentation on all commands and permissions will be provided at a later date.

New Features

Power Concepts

Viewing powers in the database will now tell you who came up with the power.

Power Overrides

Yep, power overrides are back. The commands are the same (/powers player [player] [power] -o), only now instead of allowing up to ten of each power type, an unlimited amount of powers can be assigned using this method.

Power Locking

Every time the plugin loads, it will now get a list of all powers and add them to the file powers.yml in the plugins/S86 Powers folder. By default these will all be true, however by setting a given power as false the power will not load during subsequent reloads/restarts.

Power Toggling

Powers can now be toggled by players using the command /powers toggle [power] so long as they have the permission s86powers.toggle.self, which is true by default. Operators and admins with permission s86powers.toggle.other can also use /powers toggle [power] [player] to toggle another player's powers.

Fixed Features

• Fixed an error caused by default permissions being reassigned after reloading.
• Now uses a somewhat more intuitive packet system.

New Powers
