They are some useful commands! (Easy to do, I shall do it soon 😄)

There seems to be a problem with the core.back permission. I've added it to the "Default" group, but it still returns a "Forbidden command; insufficient privileges: "/back"" message in-game.

There should be a permission node for clickable links in the chat. By default MCS has no clickable links, they cannot be clicked to get the browser window open.

If an URL has a slash in it, the webadmin chat viewer doesn't linkify it.

Rewrite the chat to:
1, Use pattern matching to linkify the URLs
2, Move the linkification to when the message is received from the OnChat hook, to avoid linkifying on every page load.

Although I have turned off the LimitWorld feature (why is it even on by default???) and it says Off both in the webadmin and in the ini file, I am still not allowed to go further away from the world's spawn.

Currently when you use the /time <Time> command you get an animation (The sun moves faster to the given time). Some people might want the time to change Instantaneously. This should be configureable in the core's config file.

Whenever I try to give myself technical blocks on my server (for example the Bed Block, ID 26), the client crashes as technical blocks don't exist in item form anymore since 1.7. If I'm correct, 1.6 support for MCServer was removed recently, so is there a possibility to remove those items from the item list the /item and /give commands use?

I allow people on my server to use these commands, and some of them may try to get technical blocks, without knowing that their clients will crash.

Most plugins are starting to use the info.lua file to register command. We should do that as well.

Debugging permissions-related issues can be a pain, so it would be nice to be able to see the list of groups and permissions that a specific player has.

Otherwise the admin runs the risk of writing a message that the player won't be able to read anymore.

Got reports of forbidden command error for /tpa but the group already has core.tpa permission node. As admin with '*' permissions i don't have this issue.

Merge the two files! The original purpose of Core++ was to reduce the amount of dotLUA files there were.

I assume that this repo should be using tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment, and unix line endings. Should we be using semicolons at the end of lines (they're optional) as they seem to have mixed use in the repo. Also, if there are any other lua conventions that must be followed, please tell me 😄

It always reports that the item is invalid, even though it is correct. It could however be the fault of the API.

Now that the TransAPI plugin is in MCServer core, it would be good to implement translations.

We need both people to put in the translation functions, and people who know languages to do the translations.

In the ServerSettings -> Worlds section, if you press Save Settings it will wipe out your default world from your settings.ini file, additionally using the add world section will wipe out any additional worlds from your settings.ini file, leaving only the newly added world.

The PlayerList web tab produces the following error in the server console:

[0900|23:15:24] LUA: 2 - Plugins/Core/web_playerlist.lua:18: attempt to call method 'GetNumPlayers' (a nil value)
[0900|23:15:24] Error in plugin Core calling function <callback>()

The web tab displays "Lua encountered error while processing the page request"

With 1.8 coming, the banlist and whitelist should be changed to store UUIDs instead of names. It should probably still store the last known names together with those UUIDs, for informational purposes.

It would make sense to also change the underlying storage from an Ini file with poor performance and structurability into something more manageable and performant, such as SQLite.

The /i and /item should come back. It was realy easy to get items by using /i {Item} (Amount)

The readme should be changed to reflect the adoption of this as the official core plugin.

Using the webadmin's "Manage Plugins" tab seems to break the settings.ini file, random plugins are removed from it. This may be a result of changes in MCServer's cIniFile API (AddValue() vs SetValue())

We are both on the whitelist, however we are both being kicked for not being on the whitelist.

This command, used as /helpsearch <text>, will search all the commands that the user has permissions to execute for the occurrence of in either the command name or its help string.

This is useful for discovering commands - if a player wants to know what commands deal with teleporting, they ask /helpsearch teleport, and all commands containing "teleport" will be listed, together with their help strings.

We should have a full set of commands to manipulate ranks, groups and permissions so that people don't need to use webadmin to edit ranks.
Proposed commands:
addrank <rankname>
delrank <rankname> [<replacementrankname>]
renamerank <oldname> <newname>
addgroup <groupname>
delgroup <groupname>
renamegroup <oldname> <newname>
addpermission <groupname> <permission>
delpermission <groupname> <permission>
addrankgroup <rankname> <groupname>
delrankgroup <rankname> <groupname>
listranks
listgroups <rankname>
listpermissions <groupname>
listrankpermissions <rankname>

Marking as easy since most of these map directly to API calls, so the command handlers should be pretty easy to write.
Best place for the handlers would be the ranks.lua file; don't forget to use the Info.lua file to register and document them.

0, 1 and 2 are not exactly user-friendly names for the game modes; add common symbolic names to the /gm command handler so that it can recognize gamemode names, too: /gm survival, /gm creative, /gm adventure

After updating MCServer to the latest version, the /plugins command has stopped working.

This error appears in the console:

[13:59:03] Stack trace:

[13:59:03] Stack trace end
[13:59:04] PluginManager:GetAllPlugins() is no longer available, use cPluginManager:ForEachPlugin() instead

For a quick overview it might be useful to have a player count in the webadmin chat.

Currently the plugin list web tab displays all the plugins, sorted, enabled first, then by alphabet.

It should display two separate lists, the top should be enabled plugins, in the order in which they're started, along with buttons to move them up or down. Then below that another list, for disabled plugins, that would be sorted alphabetically.

For the webadmin interface.

LimitWorld settings are now saved into the [Worlds] section of the settings.ini. That section is reserved to have only the world definitions, each line is supposed to be a separate world.

The settings should move to the world.ini, since the LimitWorld should be a per-world feature.

It should be better if commands like /kick /kill /ban etc. are not case sensitive.

Color codes work fine but the formatting codes don't work.
-> http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Formatting_codes

AddHook API has changed and the format used in Core is deprecated now. It needs an update to the new API to keep the server from complaining.

The repo has no licensing info atm, and it needs some for easy contribution information.

I assume that it takes the license from the root MCServer project, but if it's different we need to decide.

I'm not sure which one of those is a better choice.

I'd like to see something like the Players and Permissions tabs mixed together - list the players currently connected to the server and allow the admin to change their groups easily. The current state involves copying the player name into the group-change edit-box, that's too much work.

You can see in this picture: http://puu.sh/7eEwQ.png that my "Path" plugin is considered a plugin with an error, but that's because it's just activated.
I haven't looked too much into it, but I'm guessing it's because the core already editted the settings.ini but MCServer didn't load Path since it has to be reloaded first.

The getversion and setversion console commands no longer work. It appears that the underlying API calls that they relied upon no longer exist. Can these be safely removed? Additionally, if these can be removed, should the Shown Version option on the Server Settings webadmin page also be removed?

running commands like tps and weather in the server console produces errors that it didn't in previous versions. Console output below /

Some players reported forbidden error on /plugins command while they have the core.pluginlist permission. I'm in the admin group with '*' permissions, so have no problem using /plugins.

This only affects normal players, not admins.

The messages in web chat should have timestamps and the webchat page should have a current server time, so that the age of the messages is known.

Edited from: Add spawn protection settings to settings.ini or world.ini

Already tried to fix it, but had not success. Clear grid - not working, set slots to emtpy item - also not working :-(

The group list in the webadmin's "Permissions" tab doesn't wrap, so when the group contains too many permissions, it scrolls off the screen and breaks the page layout.

Originally reported by @isavegas as cuberite/cuberite#1121

If I use the WebAdmin system to add a new world, it immediately clears the "DefaultWorld" setting in the settings.ini file, causing the server to throw errors on startup and shutdown, about not being able to access or save the .mca files.
