šŸ”‘ PermissionsEx v2.0 [API 5]

From somewhere above in the thread, there is this advice:

This is a temporary problem, and Iā€™m sure @zml will get it resolved eventually.

Create two files is done but how we add the group and the permission permissions.json in the file and how to assign a group to a player?.

Donā€™t edit the json

hey would you be able to help me setup up something. I added a group as well as the permissions and added myself to it but its still saying I donā€™t have permission to use commands like /fly and /gamemode

What version are you using?

Isnā€™t it explained here?

After SEVERAL demand still nothing jā€™ai decided to request more documentation files how how confugurer add group with permissions for each different goupe and how to assign a group to a player I find is great plugin but as if you Ƨā€™est gives the material without using the book so for my part I abandon the idea of using PEX.

If documentation is true I would be happy to use it if I penceā€™m not the only one asking.

Thank you beforehand.

Whats wrong?

You need to create to two files in the permissionsex folder

  • permissions.json
  • permissionsex.conf

Got it workingā€¦sort of
tried the command
/pex group Trainer create

got this:
Usage: /pex [debug|reload|import|ranking|[ā€“context|ā€“contexts|-c] [-transient] subject permission-default|delete|options|info|permission|parents|[-transient] subject-type list [filter]]

everything i type spams that
does this sponge version have a different list of commands compared to bukkit.
Is there a commands list?
Tutorials?..

Try taking a look at this and see if you can make sense of it.

Just about everything i type just sez too many arguementsā€¦even copy and pasting commands from websitesā€¦
Think the plugin is messed up.

Plugin Is not messed up lol, works perfectly fine. Do this to create a group instead. /pex group Trainer perm essentialcmds.afk.use true or change the perm to whatever your wanting it to be. Remember to watch out for the parent system. Itā€™s really confusing at first just remember EVERYONE getā€™s default permissions no matter what group they are in. So no need to parent a group to default or youā€™ll get a reoccurring permission.

I rarely use commands to edit permissions. I prefer to do it manually, run the file through a JSON formatter and validator, then just re-upload my permissions.json and do /pex reload. The only other commands I used were just for promoting, demoting, and ā€œdefā€ (OP) and they all worked fine. It takes a bit getting used to but I certainly found it easier to simply write a PEX file rather than try to make one through in-game commands.

think iā€™m gonna give upā€¦iā€™m used to groupmanagerā€¦very simple system.
No commands work with this thingā€¦its hopeless.
might see if theres another permission group manager thing for spongeā€¦
If all else fails might have to drop down to cauldron 1.7.10
Its a shame but no choiceā€¦

There isnā€™t. Itā€™s PEX or nothing right now until GM getā€™s ported over which should be soon Iā€™m hoping because Iā€™m switching to it as well. But PEX is a solid Permission system if you can learn how to use it.

If you want me to, I can help you with a basic setup. PEX is hard to get used to due to a new format, but other than that itā€™s rather easy to use. Just canā€™t rely on commands as much.

I use the commands for the entire thing honestly and havenā€™t had an issue xD
Lot of work. but no issues

It just seemed too sloppy and slow for me, honestly. But it does work, thatā€™s for sure.

With the latest Sponge build as of today, PEX shouldnā€™t need any more manual intervention on initial setup.
