[turbid tide]

this one has https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playtimes-check-players-playtime-server-uptime.58858/

[austere hawk]

This not work

I have autosave at 20 and not check time

[zenith sun]

hello

[dusk forge]

Hello, could you please tell me if there is placeholders for sheep sheared?

[turbid tide]

I don't think there is I'm afraid. All of them should be listed here: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Statistic.html

and I can't find anything sheep related

[dusk forge]

Yes me too..

[safe gazelle]

var min = 1;
var max = 25;

function example() {
   if (args.length == 2) {
       min = args[0];
       max = args[1];
   }

   var random = Math.random() * (max - min);
       random += min;

   return Math.floor(random);
}

example();

So I am using the new JSExpansion and am testing with one of the example scripts on the github wiki. However, it seems as if min and max are never being effected by the args

Whatever numbers I input as min and max it always outputs a number between 1 and 25

[vivid sparrow]

how do you use the placeholder? @safe gazelle ?

[safe gazelle]

/jsexpansion parse me %javascript_example_5,1000%

[safe gazelle]

sorry to ping but meant to reply on previous message

[turbid tide]

working on testing this myself rn

will take a bit

yup I can confirm this does not work. Either it was named from args or something is broken. I've pinged the person that works on it and will wait for an answer

[safe gazelle]

Brill thank you

placeholder for what?

[frank nova]

Javascript doesn't work anymore on 1.17 😕
[22:45:00] [Server thread/INFO]: [PlaceholderAPI] Successfully registered expansion: javascript [22:45:00] [Server thread/WARN]: [PAPI] [Javascript-Expansion] ScriptEngine type for javascript placeholder exp_points isn't initialized! Defaulting to global [22:45:00] [Server thread/WARN]: [PAPI] [Javascript-Expansion] Failed to set ScriptEngine for javascript placeholder: exp_points

[turbid tide]

yeah. there's a new expansion in #852317810394267708 but its not fully working yet

[frank nova]

I'm using it.

Oh nevermind, i forgot to delete old one. 🤡

[turbid tide]

that makes sense. bcz there those warnings were removed I'm pretty sure

and I just tested it. I Know its not fully working yet but it at least loads xD

I mean what placeholder? %statistic_time_played% ?

[scarlet valve]

Is there a papi for leader board on like
Block break
Mob killed

...ect

[turbid tide]

you can use a plugin like LeaderHeads or ajLeaderboards to make leaderboards from placeholders

[scarlet valve]

I want the placeholders

I can make make the leaderboard

With holograls

Or menu

I am asking is there a placeholder for the top on block break mob killed like that stuff

[turbid tide]

not really I'm afraid.

[turbid tide]

no. you didn't understand me.

you need those plugins

to create the top placeholders

[scarlet valve]

Oooo

And they contain placeholders

Right K

?

[turbid tide]

yeah they do

they create top placeholders

ugh you can use %statistic_time_played% for that tho

[scarlet valve]

And i need to find the placeholder for thing i want

[turbid tide]

the statistic expansion

has all of that info

u should probably read the wiki. easier to see xD

[scarlet valve]

You are so helpful

You need to be an admin here

[austere hawk]

Hello, it seems like this is no longer a expansion? https://gyazo.com/07de501e140fbc7c04a9ec25fa5f993c

[turbid tide]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#statistic

[errant iron]

Yeah, it's been discontinued

Those placeholders have been moved to the Player and Server expansions

[austere hawk]

oh

[turbid tide]

and statistic expansion

[turbid tide]

the %statistic_time_played% placeholder returns the time played

[austere hawk]

oh is that instead?

[turbid tide]

well you could use that yeah

[austere hawk]

ah I see. xD

Is there a way just to add days to it instead of hours, minutes, and seconds?

[turbid tide]

I think there is a thing called %statisitc_time_played_days%

let me check

[turbid tide]

oh %statistic_time_played% %statistic_time_played:seconds% %statistic_time_played:minutes% %statistic_time_played:hours% %statistic_time_played:days%

so last one for days

[austere hawk]

oh

That strange it still counts the other ones.

oh wait

Got it! 😄

oh how about for the current world?

[turbid tide]

that's not possible

minecraft records the statistics from a server all in the same place

[austere hawk]

oh I mean like current location

Isn't it like "%world_name_<world>%"?

[turbid tide]

ohh

[turbid tide]

%player_world%

[austere hawk]

oh

ty! ❤️

Is there a way to possible hide current worlds?

[turbid tide]

wdym?

[austere hawk]

So like

Let say if I don't want to show a current world name and want to only allow players to see certain world instead?

[turbid tide]

so if they're in worldA for example or in worldB it would show worldZ buti f they're in the worldC it would show worldC?

[austere hawk]

Like let say if they are in hub world but I don't want that to show in scoreboard. But if they were in like overworld then i want that to show up in scoreboard.

So like allowing players to only see certain world they are in on the scoreboard if that makes sense?

If is not possible then is all good, just wondering.

[turbid tide]

you can probably do it with JavaSCript expansion

[austere hawk]

oh

[turbid tide]

you can learn more about it here ^^ all you need is some basic javascript understanding

[austere hawk]

ah I see, ty!

[frozen chasm]

Ji

Hi

I need help

[tender vapor]

There is no time to wait! Ask your question @frozen chasm!

[frozen chasm]

I'm getting this error:
[PAPI] [Javascript-Expansion] Failed to set ScriptEngine for javascript placeholder

I'm using paper 1.16.5 + java 16

[turbid tide]

javascript expansion is broken in java 15+

you need to use the one from #852317810394267708. but.. that one is not working 100% either

a new one will be published there soon (I think)

[trim mist]

It's working if you don't try to pass args into it 🙂

[turbid tide]

well I Didn't say its not working. just not 100% working

[trim mist]

Yeah I know.

[frozen chasm]

Ok, so... Can I use that version with java 1.16? or?

[errant iron]

Yes!

[turbid tide]

well you techincally can.

but arguments don't work yet

[errant iron]

And make sure you use the 1.16 versions of Server and Player expansions

[frozen chasm]

Hmm

[turbid tide]

1.16?

what you mean?

[frozen chasm]

ye?

[turbid tide]

dw imJouU. you're fine. all you need is the javascript expansion xd

he's probably tired lmao

[frozen chasm]

Ok, thank you for support

c:

[errant iron]

he's on server version Paper 1.16

[turbid tide]

yeah and?

[errant iron]

the current live versions of the Player and Server expansions are the 1.17 ones

[turbid tide]

ok and?

[errant iron]

or are they backwards compatible

[turbid tide]

they work just as fine on 1.8-1.16

[errant iron]

oh okay sick

[turbid tide]

they just add 1.17 support

[errant iron]

ahhh that makes sense

[turbid tide]

they're not rewritten or anything afaik

[edgy fox]

hei

[unique leaf]

Will this work :'{medium}%parkour_topten_bar_1%{medium}&a.%parkour_leaderboard_cake_1_milliseconds%' Even tho the {medium} has a character after it before the placeholder?

[turbid tide]

it should work yeah

[austere hawk]

🐱

[trim mist]

@safe gazelle You around?

Can you do me a favor and tell me if this fixes the arg issue?

[trim mist]

The error just says whatever channel it tried to register was already registered.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The original dev of RedisBungee stopped working on the project so we stopped working on the expansion.

[junior musk]

Any luck?

[tawdry saddle]

i cant use % in AsyncPlayerChatEvent

        e.setFormat(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(p, format));

if i do this in my plugin

everytime i say "%" ingame it error

[pine fog]

I have this error with the new version of PAPI and Javascript

CC: @thorn thunder

[junior musk]

May I get my expansion verified? :D
https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/nestedplaceholders/

[turbid tide]

the thing is, setFOrmat requires a formatted string or whatever its called.

[pine fog]

CC?

[trim mist]

Means carbon copy.

[pine fog]

Ouh, I speak Spanish, what does that mean 😅

[trim mist]

When you send an email to someone, you can carbon copy them to make sure they also get the message.

Yugi is the one working on the expansion so I CCed him to make sure he got the message too.

[pine fog]

And ... regarding my problem, it is a mistake of mine or of the plugin

[trim mist]

It's something Yugi needs to look at since we haven't gotten that error before.

[toxic wolf]

Is PlaceholderAPI compatible with 1.17?

[turbid tide]

check #852317810394267708

ok

@cobalt pollen you can use parseother for checking items of other players

[turbid tide]

this means that java removed the nashorn engine from java 15+ and you need to use the javascript expansion from #852317810394267708

[random thicket]

Hello! I have one question if someone does not mind helping me with it 🙂

If all goes well, you should be able to just replace this jar with the current existing one in the expansions directory. 

Does this mean that I can use the 1.16.5 version release on Paper 1.17 and just drop the test file in as an expansion to run PAPI in 1.17?

[mighty drift]

how to throw a photo?

[turbid tide]

1.16.5 version of what?

[mighty drift]

https://imgur.com/gallery/xeggsdT

how to make the amount

?

[turbid tide]

put a number in there

from 1 to 64

that is the amount of items that will show in the gui

if you don't want to set it, just delete that line

it will set to the default 1

[mighty drift]

https://imgur.com/gallery/a5KeP3m

[turbid tide]

ohhh....

wait

you're trying to add a requirement?

that's not how you do it

[mighty drift]

I can't figure out how to make it see how much experience a person has and execute the command.

[turbid tide]

explain exactly what you're trying to do

[mighty drift]

the player has 25 experience and to get the item

[turbid tide]

levels? or just points?

[mighty drift]

levels

[turbid tide]

    update: true
    hide_attributes: true

it does not work, it executes the command when I do not have level 25

[turbid tide]

what version of deluxemenus do you have?

[random thicket]

I guess what I mean is:

[mighty drift]

DeluxeMenus-1.13.3-Release

[turbid tide]

ah yeah. you'll have to update to the development builds. the has exp requirement was added just a couple weeks ago.

[turbid tide]

you can get it from here 2006lev ^^^

[random thicket]

There is a PAPI release for 1.17 but it appears that it is just an expansion. Looks like any other expansion but the plugin itself does not appear to be written for 1.17. My question is can I use that 1.17 expansion on a build designed for 1.16?

Or is that the actual Plugin release?

[mighty drift]

I downloaded it today from spigotmc

[mighty drift]

okay thank you

[turbid tide]

The PlaceholderAPI from #852317810394267708 is a plugin. it is not an expansion. and from what I've seen it works

and yes

you can use the plugin from #852317810394267708 on 1.16

or lower

[random thicket]

Thanks for your help Blitz!

[turbid tide]

it should work on 1.7 to 1.17

👍

[mighty drift]

https://imgur.com/gallery/WoRTsEV

[turbid tide]

oh yeah. deluxemenus will drop support for java 8. It will require java 11 from now on

at least

you'll need to update java

[random thicket]

I am using java 16. Will it not work with 16?

[turbid tide]

ohh I thought you were talking about the plugin

not the javascript expansion

Ahh okay I gotcha xD

[turbid tide]

that's my bad

[random thicket]

Hahaha all good bud 🙂

Thanks friends 😄

[mighty drift]

how to make to transfer bungeecord to another server

[thorn thunder]

Looks like that has to do with the adapter cache holding released objects, Ill have a look

[twin prawn]

why does /papi parse Zax71 hi %playername% ! return hi %playername% ! not hi Zax71 !

[twin prawn]

oh

wrong placeholder 🤣

[turbid tide]

yup

[twin prawn]

well then... if i use the Viaversion thing /papi parse Zax71 %player_version% (after install and reload) i get %player_version% not 1.16.5

[errant iron]

the ViaVersion placeholder is %viaversion_player_protocol_version%

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#viaversion

[twin prawn]

ohhh, someone told me that one 😉 not the one you said, thanks

thanks

[errant iron]

[safe gazelle]

so- i am using BossShopPro and a combination of DeluxeTags placeholders from papi and a javascript extension i made and am having no success with %deluxetags_tag_{javascript_snip_%shopitemname%,6,back}% other instances I have within the same shop work where the placeholders are%deluxetags_tag_%shopitemname%% so was wondering if anyone had any ideas on whether i was using the placeholder nesting incorrectly

[turbid tide]

well deluxetags does not support nested placeholders at all I'm pretty sure

but another thing is

nested placeeholders are usually {]

oh wait

%deluxetags_tag_%shopitemname%% works/

ugh yeah what you're trying to do is not really the best idea x

if %deluxetags_tag_%shopitemname%% works then I'd recommend you do everything in the javascript placeholder

so %javascript_snip_%shopitemname%,6,back% and this would return %deluxetags_tag_....%

so it would return the whole thing

not just the name

[junior musk]

%deluxetags_tag_%shopitemname%%
probably works because it's BSP's placeholder which is parsed Before PAPI ones

which means that when it parses the deluxetag placeholder, %showitemname% would have already been translate into the correct name

[safe gazelle]

yeah i figured that was the case

[junior musk]

which also means that DeluxeTags doesn't support nested PAPI placeholders

[safe gazelle]

i thought it might have been a bit over the top haha

[junior musk]

but yeah, that would work

[turbid tide]

^^^

[safe gazelle]

ahhh so how would i do this though?

[turbid tide]

what do you return inside the javascript? just add %deluxetags_tag_...% to it

where ... is what you were returning before

[safe gazelle]

oh can i do that!?

that is magical

[turbid tide]

why wouldn't you be able to?

[safe gazelle]

thank you so much haha

[safe gazelle]

i'm not really sure haha

i didn't think about it in all honesty

[junior musk]

actually

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/nestedplaceholders/

you could use %nested_deluxetags_tag_{javascript_snip_%shopitemname%,6,back}%

[turbid tide]

I guess that might work. but at this point I Don't see the reason

[junior musk]

meow

[safe gazelle]

i'll give that a go as it fits better to my use cases haha

[turbid tide]

how?

[junior musk]

(btw you have to download the expansion manually since it isn't verified ;-;)

[turbid tide]

well you do you xd

[safe gazelle]

because i need the split for multiple different plugins not just for deluxe tags

[turbid tide]

just make a javascript for deluxetags only

xD

[safe gazelle]

yeah but using the same one for multiple different situations would be more ideal as it would just be copy and pasting the same code but just adding a different placeholder around the returned output

[austere hawk]

I added a PlaceholdersAPI extention for Towny it says 2 placeholders hooks registered but nothing shows in ecloud download

This is what I downloaded https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/towny/

[junior musk]

/papi list ?

[austere hawk]

Yeah it wasnt in there

Its in list but not download

[junior musk]

can you send a screen of the console on papi reload?

[austere hawk]

I cant paste images here?

this is all it shows anyways

[junior musk]

uh

they don't show in /papi list

only the expansion name

[austere hawk]

I know I mean when I put in a placeholder

For my scoreboard

[junior musk]

ah

which placeholder did you try?

[austere hawk]

%towny_town%

Thats what it said on the extention site

[junior musk]

does it appear correctly in chat if you do /papi parse me %towny_town% ?

[austere hawk]

1.16.4

[junior musk]

I meant Towny

[errant iron]

https://i.imgur.com/m1OohC1.png

[junior musk]

because it's wiki says that you only need the Towny expansion for the old versions
https://github.com/TownyAdvanced/Towny/wiki/Placeholders

[errant iron]

ah yup, no expansion

[austere hawk]

so how am I supposed to do placeholders

I saw other servers with the same plugin using them

[junior musk]

what's your Towny version?

[austere hawk]

I dont remember what version I got it was like 1 month ago

[junior musk]

[junior musk]

then you need to use the placeholders on that page https://github.com/TownyAdvanced/Towny/wiki/Placeholders

ahhh ok haha

[junior musk]

you can use the PlayerList expansion for PlaceholderAPI and use the %playerlist_online,perm,yes,amount,<yourPermissionHere>% placeholder

[turbid tide]

ye. answered in #general-plugins

that's what happens when people don't follow rules

[junior musk]

yeah

I'm trying to use checkitem to give a power 1 bow but if they have punch 1 on there current item it gives them power 1 and punch 1. the bow I have in my hand has punch 1 yet it is not added, %player_item_in_hand_level_ARROW_KNOCKBACK% is 1, does anyone know why this doesn't work?

mistake on not parsing for the int for placeholders?

[turbid tide]

%server_online_<world-name>%

so for world a %server_online_a%

[tight matrix]

list off worlds

not 1

[turbid tide]

you can add them up with the math expansion

[tight matrix]

how .-.

[turbid tide]

%math_0:_{server_online_a}+{server_online_b}%

[tight matrix]

oke thx

[honest swift]

is there any way to show prestiges and ranks as prefix in chat?

im using UltraPrisonCore as plugin

for ranks and prestiges

[errant iron]

If it has placeholders, ya

Which chat plugin do you use

[calm kelp]

yes all of them

[turbid tide]

give me an example of a placeholder that doesn't work then please

[calm kelp]

Server, Player, Vault, Supercredits, all of them

luckyperms

essentialsx

[turbid tide]

k then

/papi dump

and send the link

that got generated

[calm kelp]

https://paste.helpch.at/pikejaremo

[turbid tide]

also restart the server please and send the full startup log

[turbid tide]

this is where you find the log ^^

restart first tho

[calm kelp]

https://pastebin.com/ywztejEx

the log

[calm kelp]

https://paste.helpch.at/gehajucaze

the dump

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi parse me %player_name% and tell me what it says?

[calm kelp]

My name

[turbid tide]

well then how does it not work?

[calm kelp]

on scoreboard or chest it doesnt show the placeholder values

[turbid tide]

ugh.

does your scoreboard plugin support PlaceholderAPI?

they don't just work everywhere, every plugin needs to implement support

[calm kelp]

yes it's scoreboard revision

and it worked perfectly just 1 week ago (i changed nothing) i started my server and they dont work anymore

so strange

[turbid tide]

can you add %player_name% to the scoreboard and see if that one works or not

[calm kelp]

nope doenst work

also in chest gui not

[turbid tide]

well then its the scoreboard's fault. I can't tell what its wrong

but the placeholder clearly works

[calm kelp]

but also in chest gui the plachoder doesnt work

2 different plugins

and i dont changed anything not even updated any plugin

and it worked fine for months

[turbid tide]

ugh idk what to tell you man. if the placeholder works in /papi parse command it clearly works

[calm kelp]

i also reinstalled all the plugins but it still dont work

[turbid tide]

the plugin you're trying to parse it in, doesn't parse correctly

[turbid tide]

btw just so u know, according to the logs, your luckperms plugin is not working, so that might be affecting some stuff

[calm kelp]

i'll take a look at it

[honest swift]

im not using any. im just using luckperms formatting

[turbid tide]

also there's a big error from SCoreboard Revision in there as well, tho I don't think that will really affect the plugin

[honest swift]

is there any way to show prestiges and ranks as prefix in chat?
im using UltraPrisonCore as plugin
for ranks and prestiges

im using luckperms chat format

[calm kelp]

it's also not working with chestcommands, holographicDisplay plugins

[turbid tide]

HolographicDisplays doesn't support PlaceholderAPI tho

if you want to use placeholders in HolographicDisplay

you have to download: HolographicDIsplay, HolographicExtension and ProtocolLib

not just HolographicDisplay

[calm kelp]

with the extension it does

ik i did

[turbid tide]

yeah. so the placeholders works as I said

if they work in /papi parse they 100% work

[thin moon]

hey, so i got a plugin called HubBasics and it has support for PAPI, i'vr tried to use the %player_name% placeholder to get the name of the player WITH the rank and it does not recognize it. help.

[turbid tide]

what do you mean by: you got the name of the player with the rank?

I'm a bit confused

[topaz acorn]

@turbid tide It prints this in chat: %armor_material_helmet%

[turbid tide]

have you downloaded the Armor expansion?

[topaz acorn]

Yes

Maybe i should try again?

[thin moon]

i have pex installed and have set up groups with prefixes, and i want to show that prefix and the name in the plugin message

[turbid tide]

ah and %player_name% only shows the name?

[thin moon]

it doesnt work at all

[turbid tide]

can you try and restart the server and send a startup log?

[turbid tide]

have you downloaded the player expansion? /papi ecloud download Player then /papi reload

and for the rank you need the Vault expansion

and you need the Vault plugin installed

[thin moon]

well i have that, gonna test the commands

[topaz acorn]

Yes, but I just ran papi ecloud list installed and it says Armor is green and installed

[PlaceholderAPI]: Placeholder expansion registration initializing... [PlaceholderAPI]: Successfully registered expansion: armor [PlaceholderAPI]: Successfully registered expansion: checkitem [PlaceholderAPI]: Successfully registered expansion: server

[thin moon]

turns out it worked, but now how do i show the pex prefix as well? another placeholder?

[topaz acorn]

@turbid tide After restart it is returning my diamond helmet. I'll see if it works with the npc stuff now

[turbid tide]

%vault_prefix% I believe

[turbid tide]

oh interesting. alr

[thin moon]

thx, gonna test

[turbid tide]

👍

[thin moon]

thanks so much @turbid tide now it works and i can use the placeholders in other plugins.

[turbid tide]

👍

[topaz acorn]

@turbid tide Well it's still not working haha. Parse returns diamond helmet, but when i add %armor_material_helmet% == minecraft:diamond_helmet to the requirements it still gives the other text.

[turbid tide]

can you show me the exact thing that parse returns/

maybe a screenshot

[topaz acorn]

https://imgur.com/rUWDqum

[turbid tide]

oh yeah

your check is wrong

that's the problem

bcz DIAMOND_HELMET will never be equal to minecraft:diamond_helmet

you need to do instead %armor_material_helmet% == DIAMOND_HELMET

it doesn't compare the materials, it compares the strings

[topaz acorn]

Gotcha I'll try that right now

[topaz acorn]

Heyyy there we go. It works! Thanks a lot for your help!

[turbid tide]

no problem 👍

[calm kelp]

any1 have a good scoreboard plugin since my scoreboard revision isn't working proprerly

[turbid tide]

you need it free or can you afford it paid?

[calm kelp]

depends how much it costs i dont wanna pay too much

[turbid tide]

well the best one out there is probably KiteBoard

[calm kelp]

can u suggest both

[turbid tide]

but its paid

but if you want to go best that's freet

free*

then probably QuickBoard

[calm kelp]

thx

[turbid tide]

👍

[sour island]

placeholderapi 1.17 ?

[turbid tide]

#852317810394267708

[naive holly]

When is placeholderAPI updating to 1.17?

[turbid tide]

#852317810394267708

[naive holly]

idk what im looking at? in #852317810394267708

[turbid tide]

read please

[spark sedge]

howdy howdy

alright so i need help with something

I am making a minecraft java plugin and i want to use placeholderapi for things such as getting a players ping

PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(cmi_user_ping)

would this be right?

[turbid tide]

no not really

[spark sedge]

oh

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(Player player, String string)

[spark sedge]

so what would i do if I wanted to call the placeholder cmi_user_ping?

would string just be cmi_user_ping?

wait

actually would it be

String pingText = "&7[&6Show&7] >> %player_name% has %cmi_user_ping% ping!";
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(Utils.chat(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(CommandSender, pingText);

would this be it?

[turbid tide]

yeah

as long as CommandSender

is a player it will probably work

[spark sedge]

oh wait

would i replace CommandSender with sender since i defined it as that?

[turbid tide]

yeah

[spark sedge]

alright

i'm gonna see if that works

would i be able to do sender.getDisplayName() so that it gets the display name of the sender?

also am i asking this in the right chat?

[turbid tide]

well I don't see why you need the display name

Placeholderapi will handle that

bcz of %player_name%

[spark sedge]

oh duh

[warm plover]

this is kinda old but for free ones you might also wanna check out TitleManager since quickboard support seems to be gone, idk if its changed

[calm kelp]

I decided for KiteBoard but thanks for the tip

[warm plover]

np 👌

[formal vessel]

Heyo, I have kiteboard and for its animation colours I can use a hex code, I want to use a placeholder I have but it always outputs it as the actual hex code as in '#FFFFFF' , it seems to use formatting similar to HTML: <color> color=#FFFFFF </color>' , is there a way to format a hex code into a placeholder so that it is treated like a hex code in the plugin?

[vivid sparrow]

If your placeholder returns the hex color, cant you use <color> color=%placeholder% </color>? @formal vessel

[proper acorn]

What does this error mean and how do I update/fix it?

I do not have two expansions

[errant iron]

Try restarting

oooh

try removing the bungee expansion from your folder

and then downloading it from the ecloud again

and if that doesn't work, remove it again and download it from the website yourself and put it in there

[proper acorn]

What's the website?

[errant iron]

[proper acorn]

Also getting this error

[vivid sparrow]

You need vault

The message "expansion class .. is outdated" is misleading in this case

[proper acorn]

Thanks!

The placeholder still doesn't show any number and trying to update gives the same error

Even after installing the expansions from the website and doing a restart for installing vault

How do i fix this, because now the placeholder show 0 instead of the online players

[proper acorn]

I have tried this 2 times, but still no luck

[proper acorn]

I'm still getting the error

But the placeholder works

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi dump and send the generated link here?

also restart your server and send over the full startup log.

Not anymore, but it did

I changed nothing

[turbid tide]

oh. what is your current problem rn then?

[proper acorn]

I did now

Still got the error when updating

[turbid tide]

can you do /papi dump again please?

[proper acorn]

And now have 0 players

Also bungee?

[turbid tide]

nope

no need

I will wait 2 minutes to let the placeholder update on the bot

It now does show the players online

Thanks!

[pseudo pewter]

Using the Javascript expansion, how could I insert an integer into a placeholder?

var placeholder = "%uecon_balancetop_Dollar_name_" + integer + "%";

[quiet bear]

https://pastebin.com/fFBJ0g62

how can i fix this issue

[junior musk]

if you want to add the integer and then parse the placeholder, you have to use PlaceholderAPI.static.setPlaceholders(BukkitPlayer, "%"+"uecon_balancetop_Dollar_name_" + integer + "%")

[junior musk]

I think you may need to report this to ChestCommands' dev

[quiet bear]

the dev no longer updates chestcommands

[junior musk]

then idk

[pseudo pewter]

I got a new error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'setPlaceholders' of undefined

[junior musk]

uh

I'm not sure what's wrong

[pseudo pewter]

Here's the full error if that helps:

[12:26:41 WARN]: Caused by: undefined:5: TypeError: Cannot read property 'setPlaceholders' of undefined

[trim mist]

Not really sure what PlaceholderAPI.static is.

[junior musk]

that's what I used in the past to parse placeholders in my scripts 🤷

and it worked

[pseudo pewter]

If I take that part out I get this:

[junior musk]

try with PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders

[pseudo pewter]

TypeError: PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders is not a function

[junior musk]

then idk

if the static one didn't work, I don't know what's the problem

it always worked for me

[pseudo pewter]

Well according to the wiki that should work

Yeah we saw this bug come up this morning. I know @thorn thunder is working on a fix for it but I believe he is asleep right now.

[silver belfry]

👍

Looking forward to the fix

[formal vessel]

Yes I'm doing that but it doesn't actually colour the object, it adds the hex code character-for-character to the display as plain text

[formal vessel]

sorry, saw there was a mention way up and replied via the reply function automatically, I should have thought it through. Apologies.

[vivid sparrow]

np

[kindred oyster]

so

huh

how does one unfuck papi placeholders in 1.17

[errant iron]

download the right ones from #852317810394267708

[kindred oyster]

I took the javascript and papi jars

I would post a picture but that doesn't seem allowed in this discord

[trim mist]

You'll want to hold off on the JS one. We had some new errors come in this morning.

Hoping to have a better version out on Sunday or sooner.

[kindred oyster]

ight ight

[errant iron]

So what's the problem with the other placeholders then?

[kindred oyster]

But everything else, from deluxetags, to advancedafk, to jobs, and beyond

all of them just display the placeholder name and nothing else

example in #showcase

[errant iron]

don't post images for examples in showcase

?imgur

[errant iron]

anyways, do a /papi dump and send it here

[proper acorn]

Still bungee_total show 0 players when there are players online

[kindred oyster]

https://paste.helpch.at/hevehuvami

[proper acorn]

https://paste.helpch.at/asumivubim

try doing /papi parse me %<one of the not working placeholders%

and put one of the not working placeholders there obviously

[kindred oyster]

https://bin.bloom.host/ahuzutupow.md

https://i.imgur.com/0gyeR7r.png

[errant iron]

Oh playtimes is broken it seems

you don't even need that plugin anymore btw

[kindred oyster]

hUh

how so? and lemme boot without it

[errant iron]

cause Im pretty sure the statistics expansion just does it now

at least with 1.17

[proper acorn]

https://paste.helpch.at/zifelagawu

[proper acorn]

My bungee placeholder shows 0 instead of the actual players online

[kindred oyster]

I booted without playtimes and still having that issue

[errant iron]

i meant the expansion too

get rid of that

[kindred oyster]

oh

[errant iron]

it's stealing every placeholder and erroring

[kindred oyster]

manually removed their jars from the expansions folders and the issue still persists

[errant iron]

new error?

/papi dump again

[kindred oyster]

https://paste.helpch.at/qehomiguxe

[errant iron]

hmm okay

this is a very interesting issue

I would try making a fresh Purpur instance with no plugins, then just adding papi and an expansion to see if it works

it might be Purpur

[kindred oyster]

I can boot with paper

[errant iron]

yeah try that

then if it still doesn't work, start a fresh server and add plugins one by one until it breaks

[kindred oyster]

it wasnt purpur

guess it's time to test 140 plugins 😩

[warm topaz]

u need help

[errant iron]

oof dude

[kindred oyster]

hey each 1 of those 140 is special

[lilac oxide]

Don't blame purpur ;-; we need to brainwash convince more people

[kindred oyster]

I might have just found them

Okay no

I think this is bad

It's not any specific plugin, but whenever the plugin list has more than 99 entries it gets borked

If anyone has a test server with paper 1.17 and a chunky plugin list check if papi is working correctly 😩

[trim mist]

I saw someone make a weird report the other day in Paper about issues with 100 plugins.

Easy fix, don't use so many plugins.

https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/5992

[kindred oyster]

that was me

[kindred oyster]

e_e

[trim mist]

Ahh

Well, easy fix, don't use so many plugins.

[kindred oyster]

A lot of servers see themselves running 100+ setups

Specially when it comes to smps

[trim mist]

Thought the whole point of SMP was to be as close to Vanilla as possible.

[kindred oyster]

Not a sizeable minority but an important one

[trim mist]

Whelp you'll just have to wait and see what Paper says.

[kindred oyster]

Survival Multiplayer =/= vanilla

Yeah ig so

this is gonna be pain

[vivid sparrow]

Smh

[vivid sparrow]

How is a smp more special that a public server?

[kindred oyster]

wut

[vivid sparrow]

Why would you have 100+ plugins especially on a smp

Nothing related to papi, just curious

[kindred oyster]

We like to give neat spin to most things

Improving everything your standard server has

A good 40% of plugins are just dependencies tho

Lile our mythic setup requites 5 plugins including mm

Goldencrates requires 1 jar

Jobs and bottled xp now use 1 common library

Etc etc

[errant iron]

hey @austere hawk does spigot have the library thing too for your plugin.yml

cause that could be really cool

[austere hawk]

it does yeah

[errant iron]

only for Maven Central tho?

[austere hawk]

it's probably buggy though lmao

yeah

[errant iron]

hmmm

imagine a world with no shading required

[thorn thunder]

imagine

[errant iron]

like slimjar, but the server does it for you and can share dependencies

now that's nice

[austere hawk]

eh

i wouldn't really rely on that

i'm not sure how well it handles things like multiple versions and stuff like that

if it does at all lol

[errant iron]

i mean if it's anything like the bungeecord one, it'll put them in separate version folders and relocate them for you

[thorn thunder]

Exposing classes from one classloader onto others can be really weird

Especially if the package names dont match

[austere hawk]

it relocates it?

i don't think it does

also why are we in #placeholder-api lmao

[thorn thunder]

Then you get behaviour thats not even present in the ClassLoader source

[errant iron]

i mean I presume so, the classpath changes

[austere hawk]

are you sure about the relocation?

[thorn thunder]

Its loaded into the PluginClassLoader of your plugin star

[errant iron]

instead of com.zaxxer.HikariCP it's com.zaxxer.HikariCP.2.4.0

i mean no

[thorn thunder]

Oh it does that?

[austere hawk]

uh

[errant iron]

yea that's the folder hierarchy at least

tbh i know nothing so who knows

[austere hawk]

yeah i mean that's how maven repos work

[thorn thunder]

Try printing the class

[errant iron]

too much work

im just looking at my folder hierarchy lmao

[austere hawk]

I'm fairly certain it handles no relocation whatsoever

[errant iron]

then how does it do multiple versions?

[thorn thunder]

Do you see the jar?

[austere hawk]

#placeholder-api message

[errant iron]

lol

[thorn thunder]

Its loaded into different classloaders

[thorn thunder]

Open up the jar

[errant iron]

man I need to read up on how classloaders work

or how java works

or how anything works

oh yea no relocation

[thorn thunder]

Would you like to be a proud slimjar contributor then?

[errant iron]

how could i contribute if I don't even know how a classloader works

[austere hawk]

wait so

yugi

[thorn thunder]

Yea?

[austere hawk]

this library loader thing, it loads the jar for every plugin that uses it, right?

[thorn thunder]

You learn while trying 🤷

[thorn thunder]

Yea I think, thats what I read from one of the issues

Each plugin has a separate PluginClassLoader

[austere hawk]

that sounds memory consuming lmao

[thorn thunder]

Probably not much

[errant iron]

and probably worth it for the effort it saves

[thorn thunder]

You get the same effect as what happens when the plugins relocate them

[austere hawk]

hm fair

[errant iron]

i think there's some required reading before you even get there

[thorn thunder]

You can ask most issues if you face anything here

Also, we should probably move to #dev-general

[errant iron]

oh yea

[shadow halo]

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my javascript

var answer;

if('%supervanish_isvanished%' == "No") {
    answer = "&7"
} else {
    answer = "&7&oVanished"
}

not sure why it doesnt return anything when i use /papi bcparse me %javascript_vanish%

[errant iron]

you have to define a function then call it

function vanish() {
  if('%supervanish_isvanished%' == "No") {
      return "&7"
  } else {
      return "&7&oVanished"
  }
}
vanish();

[shadow halo]

ok gotcha, must of been looking at old code or somthing

[errant iron]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#has-permission

there's a bunch of exmaples

[shadow halo]

ok thanks

[thorn thunder]

Just make sure the last statement contains what you want to return

[shadow halo]

havent quite had time to learn it yet so ive just been trying to get by with other peoples examples. guess ill have to learn it sooner or later anyway, thanks!

[thorn thunder]

var answer;

if('%supervanish_isvanished%' == "No") {
    answer = "&7"
} else {
    answer = "&7&oVanished"
}
answer

This should work as well

[errant iron]

oh that makes sense

[shadow halo]

ok sweet

ill try this

[errant iron]

so wait why are all the examples functions yugi

function hp() {
    return Math.round(parseInt('%player_health%') * 100) / 100;
}
hp();```

surely that could be a one-liner

[shadow halo]

didnt seem to work

trying stars

[thorn thunder]

Not sure

[shadow halo]

ok might be a me issue because neither are working

[errant iron]

lol

[thorn thunder]

Are you sure you registered it in the config?

[shadow halo]

i have the dev build 125 for 1.10.10

vanish:
  file: vanish.js
  engine: nashorn

[errant iron]

what java version

[shadow halo]

16

[errant iron]

nashorn doesn't exist anymore

[thorn thunder]

Are you on a version from #852317810394267708 ?

[errant iron]

yea you got this one? #852317810394267708 message

[shadow halo]

no latest jenkins dev build

featherboard needed it

"Changed the PAPI dependency from 2.10.9 to 2.10.10-DEV-123. Note that 2.10.10 is currently only available on the HelpChat discord under the channel #852317810394267708 or https://ci.extendedclip.com/job/PlaceholderAPI/"

should i grab the one from the discord?

[thorn thunder]

Sure, but I dont recommend using it on your production server yet.

There another update coming in soon that should be much more stable

[errant iron]

he's talking about the PAPI version in that one

[thorn thunder]

ah

[errant iron]

we're talking about the JS expansion version

[shadow halo]

its not a production server yet, just a small project

more for messing around

[thorn thunder]

Then it should be fine, again, I was talking about js-expansion version

[shadow halo]

i just did /papi ecloud download javascript

[errant iron]

yeah nope

[shadow halo]

ops

[thorn thunder]

Its not on ecloud yet

[errant iron]

you need the one from #852317810394267708

as nashorn no longer exists in new java land

[shadow halo]

ahh

[errant iron]

honestly can we just get a kts expansion

[shadow halo]

do i need to delete the old javascript files too?

[thorn thunder]

We already have one

[errant iron]

we do?!?

[thorn thunder]

Sx made it when he was here

[errant iron]

where it be

we should deprecate the js expansion

and replace it

[thorn thunder]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/KotlinScript-Expansion

[errant iron]

why do we still do JS expansion

kotlin is surely a lot better and easier and more type safe than js in like every way

[shadow halo]

ok it works now

thanks

[errant iron]

nice nice

[shadow halo]

shouldve been paying attention lol

[thorn thunder]

type safety isnt ussually a big issue for end users

js is just more widely used

[errant iron]

hmmm

but imagine if we were a primary reason to use kts

we could totally set the example

[thorn thunder]

🤷

[errant iron]

plus there would probably be way less problems than what you're having right now with the JS expansion

[thorn thunder]

And then everyone using the js-expansion would have to rewrite all of them to kts

[errant iron]

that would not be hard

I will offer a service to do it for them

[thorn thunder]

Not ideal

lol

[errant iron]

for free!

[trim mist]

Still not ideal for the 3,000 servers using it.

[errant iron]

I mean we support both for a bit

deprecation, not removal

send a few messages, give em a few years

awww no sed

[thorn thunder]

Oh, speaking of which, seems the kotlin expansion needs to be updated too, if someone uses that ig

[errant iron]

damn why you gotta say it like that 😦

we should defo encourage it more at least for new projects

[thorn thunder]

Sure

pr a update ig

[errant iron]

mmk mmk

[trim mist]

That must've never been deployed. There are 0 servers using that.

[thorn thunder]

oh rip

[errant iron]

wow what

well maybe I'll be the first

because kotlin is a significantly better language than javascript

[trim mist]

Wait I lied

There's 1 server

[thorn thunder]

xD

sx

[thorn thunder]

ayy

[errant iron]

yoooo

represent

better language gang

[thorn thunder]

We can probably integrate it with the js-expansion and rename it to script-expansion tbh

Hopefully better adoption then

[errant iron]

yes!

yes!

instead of engine choice, language choice

then the transition becomes much easier

[trim mist]

I think we need a working js expansion to begin with.

[errant iron]

I mean they're getting there

[thorn thunder]

Almost done

[errant iron]

but down the line!

Yugi you are a genius

[trim mist]

Haha. I'll be around sometime this weekend to test stuff.

Or distribute jars to test that is

[thorn thunder]

Alrighty, awesome

[errant iron]

yea I'd love to help test

[thorn thunder]

lit

[errant iron]

more fun than talking about my dreams for kotlin 🥲

[thorn thunder]

🥲

[trim mist]

I gave you perms to upload jars in this channel Yugi so you can have people test if I'm not around.

[thorn thunder]

oh alrighty, thanks glare

What is wrong with my bungee expansion?

[errant iron]

you'd do /papi info bungee

[proper acorn]

[07:21:54 INFO]: Placeholder expansion info for: bungee

But the actual bungee_total placeholder doesn’t work

[errant iron]

/papi info is not how you test placeholders

/papi parse me %bungee_total%

that's how you'd test the placeholder

[proper acorn]

It replied with 0

But it showed 3 just yet on the my discordsrv bot

[errant iron]

which version are you on

[proper acorn]

1.16

[errant iron]

hmm

[proper acorn]

Paper 1.16 to be exact

[errant iron]

hmm the check interval is 30

and I'm not sure if that's seconds or minutes

but maybe try it now?

[proper acorn]

I will check

Check interval is 30

It still returned 0 when there are players online

[proper acorn]

The other bot that uses %online% does show the correct players online on this server

[errant iron]

yeah I am not sure honestly

I haven't looked much at the bungee expansion

[proper acorn]

Do you know who does?

[mint fable]

do you also have the bungee expansion on the other server?
