[Plugin] MailingSystem

Minotorious · Jun 5th 2017

You want to send a message to another fellow player but they are offline? Look no further the MailingSystem can store your message and send it to them once they come online.

Wollt ihr eine Nachricht an einem anderen Spieler schicken aber er/sie offline ist? Das MailingSystem kann deine Nachricht speichern und automatisch schickt die, wenn er/sie online kommt

Commands:
/mail lookup string, returns all player names starting with the specified string to make sure you got the name right
/mail send playername message, sends a mail message to the specified player
/mail group playername1,playername2,etc. message, sends a mail message to the specified players. Note: no spaces between playernames
/mail admins, sends a mail message to all admins. Please do not abuse!
/mail sendall, sends a mail message to all active players (admins only)
/mail reload, reads the mail.properties file again to reinitialise the plugin settings without the need to restart your server (admins only)
/mail read, displays all unread messages and then deletes them from the list

Settings File: (mail.properties)
PluginTextColour=[#00D2FF] -> general plugin text colour (hex colour code)
MailMessageColour=[#FF8800] -> message text colour, used to make the text a bit clearer (hex colour code)
MailDeletionPeriod=30 -> time that should pass before an unread mail message is automatically deleted (in days)
ActivePlayerPeriod=14 -> a player is considered active if he/she was online less than this number of days ago (in days)
MailReminderTimer=1800 -> sends a message to all players who have unread mail every this many seconds (in seconds)

das ist eine tolle Idee. Muss ich mal testen.

Minotorious · Jun 6th 2017

Dieses Plugin funktioniert vieleicht auch nicht mit MySQL Datenbanken, ich muss mehr testen. Kennst du wie ich ein Test-Welt mit MySQL und nicht SQLite Datenbank erstellen kann?

lenko · Jun 6th 2017

Erstmal musst du eine Mysql Datenbank erstellen

Danach hab ich selber jetzt ehrlich gesagt keine Ahnung wie das im SP gehen soll,
wie gesagt auf einem server erstellst du eine Datenbank und dann schreibt man die
daten und den zugriff in die server.propertiers
ich denke @red kann da mehr helfen.

Tolle Idee
@Minotorious wenn Du "Sachen" verwendest die in beiden Datenbanken funktionieren sollte es doch gehen.
... ich wollte letztens TRUNCATE TABLE abfeuern und musste leider feststellen, dass SQLite es nicht hat (klatsch)

So wie lenko beschrieben hat sollte es gehen.

Hallo zusammen ;D

@Minotorious Du könntest local einen server erstellen, dazu muss du halt die 127.0.0.1 als IP benutzen, dann solllte man eigentlich auch die erstellte Welt joinen können. Und halt dann deine DB dann halt in die server einstellungen eintragen.

Danke ihr alle für die Hinweise Ich probiere das mal und hoffe es funktioniert XD

I really love this in-game mail system. It is a great way to communicate with players that log on from different time zones. If there is one thing I would suggest is that it would be nice to send mail to permission groups. This way you can let those groups know of any changes to rights, permissions or item availabilities. Also some groups are sub Admins that help run a server so you could communicate with them or the Admins

I have loved this plugin for sometime now. It makes communication with players a must have.

FYI
I wanted to point out that it has the same issue as the console commands like "goto" in that it does not recognize a space in a game name. The search string will bring the name up but if you try to send to Paul Austin as an example it will error.
The next patch is supposed to fix this by allowing a renaming on the server of the player so it might not need patching if a routine is developed that can autologon fix their names.

if you want me to take a crack at just let me know. I really like it. Since my server is sort of a work in progress people are off and on . but we still communicate with the mail system on issues. so I find it convenient.

The code will be available on my Github account by the end of the day, I wanted to only post it after updating it but if you want to have a look for yourself I will upload it now, but note it has red errors in it so it won't compile for now: https://github.com/Minotorious?tab=repositories

I rly like this plugin and want 2 use it as some kind of a support-system. Sadly, the "/mail admins <message>"-code will result in quite some errors and nothing happening(i tried something like "mail admins ." and "mail admins hi!"). Also, typing "mail admins" without anything else will result in nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

Minotorious · Oct 17th 2018

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to update this plugin to the newest version of the game, could you please post the error message/server log?

Oh I see the changes to the API are more extensive than I thought, Unfortunately I cannot give an ETA for an update at this time
