Title: let everyone use colors on signs
Post by: tiggy26668 on January 04, 2013, 07:10:18 pm
so.... pretty much just think everyone should be able to use colors on signs..... and i'm guessing you just need to change the rank permission....

colors are helpful for making things stand out and easier to read.... and it's cooler... i don't really have much of a reason it'd just be nice to have...

also i'm just not seeing any reason not to give everyone access to the colors....

so yea.... how bout them colors?

We decided it had the potential to make the world look messy when they are overused. Now that i think about it that reasoning sucks so ill talk to relkeb/nyssa about it.

I agree, they're nice to have and really aren't as messy as some of the builds I've seen haha.

Yeah, I agree with Tiggy on his suggestion. This is also easy to implement, and if anyone wanted to spam signs, it would be even quicker to spam them with regular text (or none at all) as oppsed to entering all those odd color codes.

I am glad to hear that it is being reconsidered and if people are smart enough to figure out the color codes then they are smart enough to use it responsibly

There remains one problem. Im not sure if we are still using essentials for the colored signs, i'll have to check with optical.

We would need  to learn the color codes.

Yeah sorry to get offtopic but since it looks like this is going to happen can someone post a list of the color codes for those that don't know.

It shouldn't be hard for users to google "Minecraft Color Codes", I mean, we're not their mothers.

This would also be a great way to lock /homes as there have been requests for that in the past. For those who don't know if you put the section symbol and random characters that you write down only you can access that home as seen with 2crzy's past /homes

Essentials.signs.color is the permission node for colored signs. There would have to be some limits to this idea, but other than that I think it is a great idea. If optical thinks its too crazy, maybe just give it to Members or Trusteds.

I was just about to suggest this for Trusted, maybe it should be trusted only?

Why only trusted? People can grief and kill with water. Someone can't do that with a colored sign.

That's not allowed I had to remove mine. And also LIEK, that will encourage people to beg for trusted and also what harm can they do?

OMG CURSE OF THE COLOURED SIGN

There remains one problem. Im not sure if we are still using essentials for the colored signs, i'll have to check with optical.
Signs are our own code, and the permission is opticraft.signs.colour. I am not fussed about this, so decide amongst Nyssa & Relkeb and go for it.

Sooooo if Nyssa and Relkeb agree then we will have colored signs? I didn't quite understand.

It is true that colored signes would be far to spamy if all users were allowed to use them, logic makes sence.

I know that I posted a thread about this, but I think it is really unfair. I think the logic behind trusted plus being able to use this is flawed. First of all, anyone who cares enough about the sever to get an account isn't going to spam signs. Member plus would make more sense in this case. That's my opinion, anyway.

There is no logic behind our decision. It was simply to add another incentive to the trusted rank. Im not worried about people spamming signs.

it's impossible to protect item frames because unfortunately in mojangs infinite wisdom they decided to treat them as entities, and the worldguard/precious stone plugins we use to protect things are incapable of protecting entities for various reasons.

It would be LWC that would have to protect item frames.
