@hidden pumice just update your server expansion

#

do /papi ecloud download server then /papi reload

hidden pumice Aug 12, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

ok

#

nice thank you

#

For the math expression do you think its possible for it to pick a random number between the specified number?

#

Or is that not possible

turbid tide Aug 12, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

echo knoll For the math expression do you think its possible for it to pick a random number...

not possible. but you can use the RNG expansion if you want that

echo knoll Aug 12, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

Oooh! Ok!

#

Thanks

echo knoll Aug 12, 2021, 1:36 PM

#

turbid tide not possible. but you can use the RNG expansion if you want that

Do you think its also possible for the expression to output a modifier with it?

turbid tide Aug 12, 2021, 1:36 PM

#

a modifier?

echo knoll Aug 12, 2021, 1:37 PM

#

Essentially I am doing a dnd roll with the expression

#

So when I do /roll 1d20 it'll pick up the 1 and 20 %rng_0,20% then say I want to add +4 it will add 4 to the total.

turbid tide Aug 12, 2021, 1:41 PM

#

I mean you can use the math expansion for that. you generate a random number and add whatever you want to it

It has been a while since I updated, just did so and noticed some errors, so I updated the expansions. Now I have 2 sets of expansions in my folder and one of the player expansions is throwing an error. Can I safely delete one of the expansion files? Currently I have Expansion-player.jar and Expansion-Player.jar. Which would be the correct one to remove?

#

This is on v2.10.10

turbid tide Aug 12, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

just remove both and use /papi ecloud download player then /papi reload to have the latest

Why statistic doesn't work with animatedscoreboard

#

?

warm topaz Aug 12, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

I assume animatedscoreboard supports PAPI, so make sure u have downloaded the statistic expansion

/papi reload```

austere hawk Aug 12, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

I did it

#

Example %statistic_deaths% doesn't work

#

Just show 0

#

Server running on paper 1.16.5

#

Latest version of papi

warm topaz Aug 12, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

Well do u have 0 deaths? if its returning a number then that indicates that it should be working fine

austere hawk Aug 12, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

.-.

warm topaz Aug 12, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

the statistic expansion just returns whatever statistics the server is holding

austere hawk Aug 12, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

I tried to die but it still show 0

warm topaz Aug 12, 2021, 2:45 PM

#

if u run /papi parse me %statistic deaths%, is it still 0?

austere hawk Aug 12, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

Yes

turbid tide Aug 12, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

that means your server is not recording the statistics correctly then

#

or you just haven't died yet

no Fxdvs. you can't just add options to the config as you please. unless you're making your own expansion

if you want outputs based on inputs you can do it with a bit of javascript

Hi there, I'm trying to use the %server_countdown_<SimpleDateFormat>_<time>% placeholder and tried using the u letter from this page; https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html but it basically just returns 0 however I try and provide it

Example of what I tried: %server_countdown_uu_3%

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

errant iron Aug 13, 2021, 7:49 AM

#

Have you tried any of the examples including u?

#

and I don't think uu is correct, it seems like it'd just be one u since it's a single number for the day of the week

gaunt cargo Aug 13, 2021, 7:50 AM

#

%server_countdown_u_6% does not work either

#

This works fine tho: %server_time_ww-u%

#

I assume I'm typing the placeholder wrong or misunderstanding something but I can't figure out what to type instead

#

The example works but as soon as I simplify it down to just dd for example it'll just return 0

#

This doesn't work either; %server_countdown_yyyy.u_2021.6%, but if I change it to 2022 it works for some reason

#

Same goes for %server_countdown_HH_23%, and adding 2022 to it makes it work but, well, I don't want to countdown to 2022

errant iron Aug 13, 2021, 8:38 AM

#

maybe because it has to be a time in the future?

#

2021.6 already happened

gaunt cargo Aug 13, 2021, 8:49 AM

#

u is day in the week though

#

so how would I use the u value

errant iron Aug 13, 2021, 9:02 AM

#

like you point it to a specific day

#

i don't think you can do like weekly countdowns, i think you have to specify a day per countdown

gaunt cargo Aug 13, 2021, 9:03 AM

#

I might be able to use the math-related variables in combination with the server_time one to calculate it

errant iron Aug 13, 2021, 9:04 AM

#

yeah, there's probably some way to get the current time and like, just add to it

#

but I'm pretty sure SimpleDateFormat is just a pretty way to express unix time, not a relative time

@lime slate I've seen /papi info ExpansionName or /papi list ExpansionName (can't remember exact command) work for some plugins. But not all. Not even sure how you make it work with that. Also the wiki has listed a lot of placeholders. Over 2.5k. the papi wiki I mean. If it's not there then usually it's on the plugin's spigot page or documentation page

let me try do it for u XD

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

never have i ever seen a console print so faaast

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

molten bison i fucked it even more

why there is space between if and the condition aka the ()

#

that space is what f u up XD

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

can u send a correct version? XD

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:28 AM

sure XD

silver minnow thats one big fat arrow 👀

u have the same taste as Start XD

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

molten bison can u send a correct version? XD

btw there is a ghost return

#

the ghost return will break your script

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

hard basalt u have the same taste as Start XD

Start?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

*Star

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

yes

#

arrow code is bad

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

typo real hard

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

Star is also on support team fingerguns

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:41 AM

#

i know

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

hard basalt the ghost return will break your script

how

#

what is this "ghost"

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

hard basalt why there is space between `if` and the `condition` aka the `()`

wdym? iirc spaces usually don't matter in JS

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

basically u trying to make ur script return a value it unable to evaluate aka no condition

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

conditions should not be necessary

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

so return "Talk to Reza!"; ?

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

yes

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

u want it to always possitive ?

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:45 AM

#

yes

#

if they have the perm

#

but since if they get a higher perm the placeholder changes

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

hard basalt u have the same taste as Start XD

why every1 hate arrow code ;-;

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:47 AM

google it

#

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

#

it's a bad habit

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

hard basalt an example visualize my word ```javascript var isl = %Level_bskyblock_island_le...

plus add some spaces fingerguns such as if (isl < 0) { return }

#

helps with readability

any idea what is wrong with these ?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:49 AM

u trying to return too many line like i said

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

thonking

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

there is a non condition return and a conditioned return

#

make it return 2 time

#

which is impossible for the placeholder

#

that why i said ghost return

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

but the higher permission should be prioritised? that's how someone explained it to me atleast

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

yes

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

not that

#

the if part is ok but the return "Talk to Reza!"; is not

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

why not?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

it returning 2 line

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

?

#

what is returning 2 line

#

the script just checks a bunch of perms, if it's true then return whatevers in the if statement, if none are true then return "Talk to Reza!"

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

but it's throwing errors?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

the return "Talk to Reza!"; have no condition make it always possitive and the placeholder will always try to print it, and the if statement above have no link to this 1, so it cuasing the placeholder trouble

silver minnow Aug 15, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

hard basalt the `return "Talk to Reza!";` have no condition make it always possitive and the...

yes but it's at the bottom

#

JS goes top to bottom

#

it won't just go to the bottom..?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 1:53 AM

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 1:54 AM

Should your host not allow connections to the PlaceholderAPI eCloud, you can manually download expansion from https://placeholderapi.com/ecloud and place them in your /plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ folder.

#

How dose that work?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 12:43 PM

please do.

#

/papi parse me %placeholder%

#

and you change placeholder with the one

that doesn't work

#

and see what it returns

fresh inlet Aug 15, 2021, 12:44 PM

So what place holder would I use to see the player count of that world?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 12:45 PM

wait

you're using the world expansion for player count?

fresh inlet Aug 15, 2021, 12:45 PM

#

Ye.

don't. use the server expansion

%server_online_<world>%

this is the placeholder you should use instead ^

So in the <> do i put my world name?

hard basalt Aug 15, 2021, 12:45 PM

remove those

when you see <something> usually you have to replace the whole thing whit whatever you want.

fresh inlet Aug 15, 2021, 12:46 PM

#

My dev said he tried it but it did not work.

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

has he downloaded the server expansion? if not ask him to do /papi ecloud download server then /papi reload

fresh inlet Aug 15, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

yep

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

and also ask him to test the placeholder with /papi parse me %server_online_WORLDNAME%

btw. the world name is case sensitive. so if the world is named World, world won't work

molten bison Aug 15, 2021, 3:00 PM

you can ignore. you can also disable by going in javascript_placeholders.yml and adding engine: nashorn after the line you declare the file in

for each of them

turbid tide you can ignore. you can also disable by going in javascript_placeholders.yml and...

ignore it? the placeholder doesn't work xd

what does this mean https://pastebin.com/0fjzqUhm

errant iron Aug 15, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

it means one of your expansion classes is messed up

#

i would delete all of them and start downloading them fresh one by one

#

then you'll know which one is the problem, if any still are

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 4:38 PM

#

oh

#

why would this error only sometimes show up when strarting the server?

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

This is making it so it doesn't load any of them placeholders https://pastebin.com/3ZkYmt44

#

But only sometimes. Why would this be?

#

I can restart the server 10 times but only 4 of those times will this error show

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

welll... as Star said. One of your expansion is broken. We don't know why or how it breaks but it does and when it breaks, it breaks the entire expansion loader so PAPI can't load the other expansions

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

I deleted all of them and have freshly redownloaded them

#

directly from papi cloud

#

stil does it

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

well

#

that's why star said

#

1 by 1

#

and test them

#

and see when it breaks

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

I'm doing that but the error doesn't always show

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:04 PM

#

well

#

what you do

#

is get just 1 expansion

#

you do a bunch of /papi reload

#

see it doesn't happen like 0 out of 10 times

#

or something

#

then get the next one

#

try again 10 times

#

etc.

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

omg

#

It only shows up when restarting

#

I downloaded all of them and did /papi reload 15 times

#

doesn't show

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

well then you'll have to restart I guess.

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:06 PM

#

so i have this JS placeholder which basically returns null if null or the string with a colon and a space in front. however, since players have full access to the message, if they put a quote, it breaks the placeholder with this error: [13:02:46 INFO]: gecko10000 issued server command: /afk " [13:02:46 ERROR]: [PAPI] [Javascript-Expansion] An error occurred while executing the script 'afk javax.script.ScriptException: <eval>:1:10 Missing close quote afk = """; ^ in <eval> at line number 1 at column number 10
how could i either filter out all these unusual characters or stop this from happening?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:06 PM

#

yo @errant iron I've not looked at PAPI code but you've worked with it. I see this being pretty common. is there any chance you can like make a debug message or something you can enable from config.yml telling you which expansion its trying to load or something like that?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:07 PM

#

calm dawn so i have this JS placeholder which basically returns null if null or the string...

yes. you can't just have """

#

you have to escape the middle one

#

javascript doesn't know what you're trying to do

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:07 PM

#

how would i escape the contents of the placeholder is my question

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:07 PM

#

I believe it's just \ in javascript

#

so it would be "\""

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:07 PM

#

afk = "%cmi_user_afk_msg%";

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

oh

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

when i do /afk " it breaks from user input

errant iron Aug 15, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

turbid tide yo <@!186255788212355073> I've not looked at PAPI code but you've worked with it...

i don't even know what causes this error man

#

it's like a weird java thing that it can't read from the file or something

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

errant iron i don't even know what causes this error man

well you don't need to catch the error. just tell us what expansion it will load next

#

so we at least know where to look at

#

instead of having to go 1 by 1

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

calm dawn ```afk = "%cmi_user_afk_msg%";```

can I see the entire code please?

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

i think it might be vault

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

afk = "%cmi_user_afk_msg%";

function formatAFK() {
  return afk == "" ? "" : ": " + afk;
}

formatAFK();```

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

nvm

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

wait. so you can basically set your own afk message to whatever you want?

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

not vault

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

that's all it is and it normally works fine, but since the placeholder is replaced directly it causes issues

#

yes

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

hmm. I wonder if javascript has like an escape method or soemthing to escape entire strings. 1 moment

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

👍 thank you for looking into it

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

well... we're lucky I guess

#

there's a method

#

called escape()

#

xD

#

hmm

#

but I Don't think it does what we need

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

since the placeholder seems to be replaced directly i don't know if it's possible within the placeholder file itself

#

it would have to be part of the expansion, maybe? a setting in the javascript_placeholders.yml per script?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

alright. so

#

afk = encodeURI(%cmi_user_afk_msg%);

function formatAFK() {
  return afk == "" ? "" : ": " + afk;
}

decodeURI(formatAFK());``` something like this maybe?

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

without quotes around the placeholder?

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

yeah

#

if that doesn't work try it with quotes

shut lion Aug 15, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

is there any real benefit to updating expansions? I have the old ones that worked

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

well. I mean. Usually they add new stuff, they might fix bugs etc.

errant iron Aug 15, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

shut lion doesn't show

try this build

📎 PlaceholderAPI-2.10.10-DEV-ISE.jar

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

without quotes does not work
surrounding it with quotes works, but i assume it has the same issue since the placeholder is being literally replaced without being escaped

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

calm dawn without quotes does not work surrounding it with quotes works, but i assume it h...

well that's what I'm asking you. to test it in the condition you were testing it before.

calm dawn Aug 15, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

yep, same issue.

#

afk = encodeURI(""");```

turbid tide Aug 15, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

alright. then I recommend you go to: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/issues and open an issue. tell them that the placeholders are parsed first and if they contain quotes they will break the javascript. ask them what can be done and to do it. 👍

the older one that has yet to fail after 10+ restarts

so just create a file called "_disabled"

create a folder called that and drag all the plugin .jars besides papi in it

it was because of discordsrv

I'm guessing it's because it wasn't connected with a key yet so it was shutting down

the process of shutting down some how effected the loading of the expansions... but only some times.

When using BaseComponent[] is it possible to parse the placeholders or not?

calm ruin Aug 17, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

Hi guys , i use %statistic_player_kills% for a leaderboard and it also returns a value (0 cuz i didnt start server yet). But the preoblem is when i kill someone the value doesnt update at all ,always 0 , when i do papi parse for that placeholder too.

#

Could someone help me with that please

tiny trout Aug 17, 2021, 3:19 PM

you will probably have to serialize to string, parse and deserialize or something

SkriptLang was updated june 6 and Skippi was just uploaded today. I'm not sure if another one would be a good idea since it would just makes things more confusing. those 2 will work on latest PAPI version.

why would you use a custom javascript for it?

var tps = parseInt("%server_tps_1%");

something like this then

junior musk Aug 18, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

turbid tide ```js var tps = parseInt("%server_tps_1%"); function convertToText() { if (...

probably want to use %server_tps_1% though

otherwise it would return tps from 1, 5 and 15m and wouldn't be able to be parsed as an int

turbid tide Aug 18, 2021, 2:42 PM

junior musk probably want to use %server_tps_1% though

oh right

Forgot about that

I am getting this error: org/openjdk/nashorn/api/scripting/NashornScriptEngineFactory has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 59.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

11 is still LTS dont forget 😄

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:13 PM

#

I mean I would try updating and see what happens

#

LTS doesn't mean shit for people like you who can update a single server for free

#

LTS is for businesses who have tens of millions of lines and aren't so agile

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

I am not agile in servers too 😄 😄 I like things that work and not keep updating every day 😄

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

Every day?

#

Java updates every 6 months now, and that's way faster than before

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

I meant plugin updates

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

I don't see how that's related

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

But yea... I will update 😄

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

You own a single server, updating your JDK version is essentially free

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

I already have lobby on Java16 and 1.17 but it was pain

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

Worst case? You roll back to 11 in 5 minutes

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

yea yea... thanks 😄

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:15 PM

#

It was a pain? Are you using plugins that haven't been updated for 1.17 yet? lol

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

Yea... But I ditched them

#

RIP BannerBoard for example

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

o. did glare not finish the update yet? xD

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

Ah that's good! Most plugins for Paper servers are up-to-date now, it's really the like 6yo Bungee plugins that aren't seeing a lot of love

#

BB is open source now, so I'm impressed nothing has come up yet lol

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

yeah. glare has worked on it before and I know someone else as well

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

It did but 1.17 came with some pretty stinky chunk loading things

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

but idk if any of them finished updating

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

And I am not that big Java guy to fix it myself

#

U right... 99% of plugins are updated now...

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

yeah. and those which aren't probably won't be for a long time or at all.

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

btw 3.0.0 branch is pre Java 16?

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

nah

#

that is the attempt branch

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

ok

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

wait

#

actually

#

yeah I believe so. indeed

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

I would give a try compiling BB from Glare's repo if you get a chance, seems promising

#

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

bcz it was pretty painful to get it to work on java 16

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

errant iron I would give a try compiling BB from Glare's repo if you get a chance, seems pro...

I bought InteractiveBoards 😄

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

errant iron https://github.com/darbyjack/BannerBoard

its merged into main now

#

btw

#

like the one from Sander I mean

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

it's 12 commits ahead of Sander 👀

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

Yea but that have the chunk loading problems

#

At least week ago was

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

so latest from github doesn't work at all?

#

or did you just try the spigot one?

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

It works

#

But on reload (or plugin load) boards not show

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

but was it the one from github?

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

Yes

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

oh. I see andre has also made some changes

#

have you tried his?

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

How I said... I bought InteractiveBoards week ago

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

1 sec. let me link

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

No time for that shit

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

ah. alright. nvm then xD

#

missed that message

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Its good plugin btw... Seems much faster than BB

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

I don't doubt that lol

#

Wish it was open source though

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Also it have fully dynamic boards

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

yeah. bb turned out to be a mess internally xD

#

but if anyone cares, andre seems to have made some big changes as well: https://github.com/Andre601/BannerBoard-free/tree/feature/improve-bannerboard

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:23 PM

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:23 PM

errant iron Aug 19, 2021, 5:23 PM

#

Well which one were you testing?

#

Glare's?

#

#

latent garden Aug 19, 2021, 5:23 PM

#

Every single one 😄

turbid tide Aug 19, 2021, 5:23 PM
