Essentials for MCServer

[LO1ZB]

I try do make a "Essentials" plugin for MCServer, but i´m new to LUA,
so I think, that i´ll need many hours to get basic commands working.
You can find my github for it there:
https://github.com/LO1ZB/EssentialsMCS
Tell me in this thread, when I should add anything andy I maby try to add it, if it fits into the Plugin.

Features:
- commands:
-- /burn <player> <time>
-- /fly [Player] <Speed>
-- /feed [Player]
-- /heal [Player]

<> = required argumend
[] = optional argumend

I messed around with it at first and wasn't completely sold on it.. but now I am starting to like them much more

I believe having N functions for what could be a single function and a parameter is stupid.
And now it is a single function with an extra parameter (only with an extra constructor):

a_Player:SendMessage(cCompositeChat("Message, like, whatever", mtInfo))

And it can be easily extended to include further parts, url or clickable commands:

a_Player:SendMessage(cCompositeChat("Usage: ", mtInfo)
  :AddSuggestCommandPart("/cmd verb1 verb2", "/cmd verb1 verb2", "u@b")
  :AddTextPart(" Param1 Param2", "@2")
)

Currently only GalExport is using this construct to its full potential, but I expect to implement it in WE and Gallery, too.

Or even more advanced example:

Oh, that looks okay. If only you'd done the cCompoChat bit before SendMsg.

Remove the individual functions and submit PRs to plugins who are using them to fix, I guess.

I can't find code in cCompoChat that actually does anything based on the eMessageType, is this actually the case?

[bearbin]

Don't remove the old functions, leave them in for compatibility and also because they are shorter and convey the message a bit better.

[xoft]

The composite chat doesn't currently do anything with the message type; the idea is that later a cChatMessageDecorator class will be instantiated for each player and that class will take each chat message sent to the player and decorate it with the prefixes, or colorize it, or do nothing, based on the player's preferences.

Great job! I hope this really takes off, it will convert a lot of people from Bukkit!

Thats exactly the reason, wherefore I started the plugin projekt.
Anyone who is interested in adding something, is invited to add functions, or even join the github repository.
