WorldGuard Custom Flags
Description
About WorldGuard Custom Flags
WorldGuard Custom Flags allows modders to create, set and get custom flags on WorldGuard regions. As a user you just need to download this if a plugin requires it, it does not do anything on its own.
If you have problems with any WorldGuard Custom Flags plugin post it at the forum.
This is also the right place to post your WorldGuard Custom Flags plugins or suggestions for plugins.
From now on I will ignore (and delete) any issue reported in the comments section.
It automatically uses the same database as WorldGuard (if specified), but you need to create the table manually using an included sql-file.
WorldGuard Custom Flags is also available on github. If you want a version for any other Java version than 7 you will have to compile it yourself.

Setup
To setup WorldGuard Custom Flags you just have to drag and drop the jar-file into your "plugins" folder. If you use a database for WorldGuard you have two possibilities:
Force WG Custom Flags to use a flat file
If you do not want WG Custom Flags to use the database you have to follow these steps:
- after dropping the jar-file into your "plugins" folder start the server one time
- you can ignore the error message this will produce
- stop the server
- now go to "plugins/WGCustomFlags" and edit "config.yml"
- simply change the "save-handler" property to "flat" to force flat file saving
- if you start the server again the plugin will use the flat file
Setup the database
If you want WG Custom Flags to use the WorldGuard database you simply have to import the sql-file into your database.
- if you are using MySQL and PhpMyAdmin you can simply use the PhpMyAdmin web interface to import the file
- if you use MySQL, but no PhpMyAdmin you have to upload the file to your server and execute:
Of course you will have to replace "root" with your database user. After the command you have to enter the password.
mysql -u root -p database < worldflags.sql
Commands
- /flags [-d|-i <flag>]
- /flags lists all custom flags
- /flags -d lists all flags (including the default ones)
- /flags -i <flag> displays information about a flag
Permissions
- wgcustomflags.flags
- default: allowed for ops
- limits the usage of the /flags command
The future / WorldGuard 6
In a future update of WorldGuard the plugin will support custom flags by default. When this gets released I will update this plugin a last time to be used as a bridge for any other WorldGuard Custom Flags plugin that has not been updated at that moment. All my plugins will be updated to use the WorldGuard API instead and this project will be abandoned after some time, but I hope I will get more than 50,000 downloads till then :-) .
Developer information
WG Custom Flags supports the following flag types:
- BooleanFlag
- CommandStringFlag
- DoubleFlag
- EntityTypeFlag
- EnumFlag
- IntegerFlag
- LocationFlag (better use CustomLocationFlag, it does not produce error messages if WorldGuard uses a database as this does)
- SetFlag (better use CustomSetFlag)
- StateFlag
- StringFlag
- VectorFlag (better use CustomVectorFlag)

@shadvalentine
I do not think this is related to my plugin. Please post your problem in the forum and tell me more detailed what you did when the problem occured.
errors on 1.4.7

@unga23
This one should work with 1.4.6 too.
what version for CB 1.4.6?
@Bimmr
If you have problems with the new WorldGuard version post it at the forum please as it should also work.
Shouldn't you keep up-2-date with the worldguard builds in case something internal in WG changes?
@ni_r3ng3r_ni
It is working for me, so post it at the forum please.
@der_mewin
Though you can just load it in with a 1.4.6 server and it will break. 'Can't load plugin' is the error.
@ni_r3ng3r_ni
If you have errors you should always report it if there is no post in the forum yet.
@dotcurrency
Not yet, but you can suggest plugins here.
Hi,
Just a quick question before I post a full error report: Did this only completely break for me? It doesn't load treefarm flag & custom flags anymore at all.
Ill post an error report if im the only one with this problem, if not, its obvious
Thanks, Bas
Is there any way I can block the use of beds, crafting tables, furnaces, brewing stands and enhancement tables in a specific region with this?
@der_mewin
Oh, very well. Some devs don't. Thanks for the response then :)
@lANTHONYl
You don't have to write a comment if you posted something in the forum, I look at the forum at least once per day :) .
I posted to the Suggestions Forum
Excellent stuff. Tested this out for a few minutes on 1.4.5 and it seems good. Will see about implementing it live on my server for our "film-crew" sessions very soon. Thanks!
could you just make a worldguard flag pack? that would be more easy to update. :P
@ryan_the_leach
Both is possible, but if you want to create a flag that may contain only other regions I'd recommend you to create a custom flag type (as seen here). You could also make a flag that extends the StringFlag and override the parseInput method to check if the region with this name exists.
is it possible to make a flag that contains another region, much like "parent" does?
or is it just best to use a string with the region name?
@levisn1
If WorldGuard does not use a database this plugin also doesn't. Simply drop it into your plugins folder.
