Version S2.0

The biggest SpectatorPlus update so far, with a lot of new features.
Prepare to be amazed!

Changelog

• Spectators' tools
  • You can now right-click a player with the new inspector book to view their stats, or right click a player head in the teleporter GUI.
  • The spectate.hide permission has been removed, in its place there is now a command called /spec hide. Admins will now still be able to see these hidden players' heads in the teleporter GUI. There are some new permissions for this: spectate.admin.hide.self, spectate.admin.hide.others, spectate.admin.hide (combines two previous), and spectate.admin.hide.see.
  • Projectiles (arrows, potions…) can now fly through spectators, as the spectators blocking them are teleported out of the way for a second.
  • Spectators now have a “tools” GUI, which contains options to enable speed (I, II, III or IV) or night vision (includes underwater vision). They can also choose to be teleported back to their death point.
  • Spectators can now right-click doors, trapdoors or fence gates to be teleported through them.
  • Right-clicked chests and other blocks with an inventory will show a read-only inventory to the spectators.
• System tools
  • The toggles.yml file is now configurable from the game using the /spec config command.
  • Once you've edited and saved config, you can now use /spec reload instead of doing a full server reload or restart. Much easier (and quicker)!
  • All toggles now instantly work after /spec config or /spec reload.
  • New SpectatorPlus’ mode, “world”: with this mode, the spectators can teleport themselves to the players in the same world.
  • New configuration points
    • useSpawnCommandToTeleport - default true: true will use /spawn to teleport spectators; false will use the current world’s spawnpoint.
    • teleportToSpawnOnSpecChangeWithoutLobby - default true: true will teleport spectators to spawn if there is no global lobby set (using ‘/spec lobby set’); false will not attempt to teleport unless a lobby location is set.
    • Newbie mode - default true: true will display “(right-click)” after the spectator inventory items; false will not.
    • enforceArenaBoundary - default true: true will stop spectators flying out of an arena’s boundaries in arena mode; false will not.
  • New permissions
    • spectate.admin.hide: spectate.admin.hide.self and spectate.admin.hide.others.
    • spectate.admin.hide.self: allow the player to hide himself in the teleportation GUI using /spec hide.
    • spectate.admin.hide.others: allow the player to hide any player in the teleportation GUI using /spec hide <name>.
    • spectate.admin.hide.see: allow the player to see hidden players in the teleportation GUI (these players are displayed with a “[HIDDEN]” flag in the tooltip).
• Miscellaneous stuff
  • The teleporter GUI now resizes to accommodate more or less player heads in it.
  • Spectators are teleported away when a player places a block where they are standing - previously the player was unable to place the block.
  • Added lore to spectator items to explain what they do.
  • Sub-commands of /spec will now intelligently auto-complete when you press tab.
• Technical stuff
  • Re-wrote the command executor to make it easier to read and to add new commands.
  • Wrote a javadoc for the source code to make it easier to use the API (see here).
  • Arenas are now stored in a slightly different way, but don't worry - arenas already created will be migrated automatically!
• Fixes
  • Citizens NPCs no longer cause errors (they were viewed as players before, which caused some bugs).
  • Players can no longer enter vehicles (e.g. minecarts), or ride horses while spectating.
  • For those using Multiverse Inventories: Changing world no longer causes you to lose your proper inventory for that world.

Version S1.9.2

Release S1.9.2

• New permissions added:
  • spectate.admin.say: Allows you to broadcast a message to spectators
  • spectate.admin.mode: Allows you to set the plugin mode (any or arena)
  • spectate.admin.arena: Allows you to manage arenas
    (See permissions list on BukkitDev for a list of all permission nodes.)
• spectate.hide is no longer given to players with the permission spectate.* or '*'. It must be granted manually. I hope this will make it easier to use this plugin, as it's unlikely you'll want to use this permission.
• New command: /spec say <message...>
  This broadcasts a message to spectator chat. (requires spectate.admin.say)
  The command /me is now filtered into spectator chat for spectators.
• For developers:
  • Fixed development API - go here for instructions on how to use.
  • Added a lot more comments to the plugin's source

Version S1.9.1

Bug fixes for S1.9:

• New permissions have now been added:

spectate.use.others: Allows you to change spectate mode for others [/spec on ]
spectate.admin: Allows you to manage all setup and admin commands in SpectatorPlus
spectate.admin.lobby: Allows you to set the global lobby
spectate.admin.reload: Allows you to reload the plugin

See permissions list for a list of all permission nodes.

New feature for developers:

• Commands are blocked while spectating [for only if the player is not admin - set adminbypass:true in toggles.yml]
• Added /spec reload to reload config while the server is running.
• Config now updates automatically to add new options when the plugin is updated (though not the explanatory comments)

Version S1.8

• Added spectator mode on death (disabled by default, enable in toggles.yml)
• Split config file into two: setup.yml and toggles.yml. Don't worry about setup.yml, all the values in it can be set in game.
