====== Area Plugin v3 ======

**Note:** MCServer >= r173 is needed!

**Features:**
  * Create rectangular areas from within MC
  * Welcome message displayed to player for each area
  * Areas are lockable to prevent any changes
  * Areas are groupable to create complex area groups (use ///area add//)
  * Plugin now needs permission 'AreaAdmin' for commands except ///area help// and ///area status//
  * Owners of Areas may be set

**Commands:**
<code>usage: /area [options]
  on     - enables Area Plugin
  off    - disables Area Plugin
  status - status information
  save   - saves selected area to new group
  add    - adds selected area to current group
  lock   - locks current area group
  unlock - unlcoks current area group
  setmsg "msg" - sets welcome message of current area group
  setowner [areaid] [playername] - adds player to Owners of given area group
  delowner [areaid] [playername] - removes player from Owners of given area group</code>

To create a new area:
  - enable plugin with ///area on//
  - right click with empty hand on a block (selects point)
  - select at least 2 points (rectangular area)
  - use ///area save// to save this area
  - disable plugin with ///area off//
To add an area to existing group:
  - to 3. as above
  - "
  - "
  - move into existing area you want to add new area
  - use ///area add// to add to this area
  - disable plugin with ///area off//
      
The area data is stored in //area.ini// file and can be directly edited when server is down (because plugin rewrites file on shutdown)!!

The message prefix of this plugin can be customized by changing following at top of plugin:
<code lua>local PLUGIN_MSG_PREFIX = cChatColor.Purple .. "* "</code>

The player needs the permission 'AreaAdmin' to use main commands (see user.ini & groups.ini of your MCServer installation)!
