The last test I ran it seemed to be working OK, I was using forge-1.8-11.14.3.1487-universal and sponge-1.8-1487-2.1DEV-515. Iām not sure if the API has been broken since then, but do make sure you use at least the latest RB of Forge (1487) as thatās what Sponge coremod is built against. That said, if you said it has been responding with ātoo many argumentsā, then it is working, your commands probably arenāt quite syntactically correct. It is very picky.

Awesome tyvm for the helpful input, ill definitely check to make sure my server is using the mentioned forge and sponge builds, hopefully that should fix things right up!
Thanks so much! I was looking for this all along!
So if I use /pex system default parent add group Default it will make Default the group people join when the server correct?
This is rather complicated.
As opinion: I understand there is a learning curve with everything. I also believe that the time spent researching and learning should have an equal payout. To me this is a simple system (even though the backend may have a lot going on that I donāt see) that should have a simple solution.
Perhaps this is just because Iāve spent waaaay more time setting up servers than Iāve actually spent playing, but this should be easier.
On the flip side. I do appreciate the effort that programmers put into getting server administrators more involved in the process. It provides some excellent avenues for learning.
Youāll have forgive me for not wanting to add another page/novel to flip through in this notebook I have sitting next to my computer. Gosh dang it, what was that command I was looking for again?
Oh right /endreply -now -windoorsmachine -criticismminimal
Thatās what itāll do ā the groups added to that default group are added as a parent group to every user internally.
This plugin is WIP, commands have some unresolved issues (and arenāt the final goal for interaction), and documentation is not done yet. Itād probably also make sense to have some more ingame documentation, but I have been getting a lot of different things to a working level of functionality so I havenāt really had time to document things as well as Iād like.

I tested this last night, it worked reasonably well, but I came across one rather serious problem:
When I set the default groupās permission-default to false (-1), it then denied the console permission to send commands.
I had to stop the test server the hard way, even though I was opped. (Sponge build 520, Forge 1487).
Another minor quibble: There does not seem to be a way to remove a player from a group, or I canāt get the syntax right.
Removing a parent is the same as adding one
/pex user MoeBoy76 parent remove group Admin
or at least it worked last i checked

How do I install for my Sponge server? :s
[EDIT 1] I tried putting the Permissions Ex sponge file in the mods folder but it doesnāt work. It says in the console that it was an error.
And you never thought it might be useful to post the error or something?
It might still be the No Such Method Error
Yeah, but rather than trying to guess, might as well work with solid information, which users can easily provide

Might as well. 
Iām getting a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ninja/leaping/permissionsex/sponge/PEXPermissionDescription
on sponge-1.8-1487-2.1DEV-521. Does it work properly on 515?
Thatās just from Spongeās common reference not being updated ā Iāll bump that and a new Sponge build should be ready in just a bit
Sorry for not clarifying, my bad :P. I have the same error as cmastudios.
Works now, thanks 
Not crashing on boot now at least Thanks for the lightning fix!
There is no yml/config file for PEX. In fact, when I open the config folder, the PEX folder, there is nothing in it. The server runs properly, but could this be because of the fact that I put the PEX core and PEX sponge file both in the mods folder?
[EDIT 1] Also, PEX commands are unavailable in-game.
Well you only need pex sponge in the mods folder, and you should be seeing the PEX files. Are you sure you arenāt getting any errors when starting the server?
