Heyyy, so I have started to learn the basics with coding plugins but I don't know how to make them into like a zip file or whatever it is, I use droidedit for coding and ES file manager for making the file, but I don't know how to make the file so I can start coding... I'm not sure if its a zip a php or another thing. Anyone know how?
Probably the best thing you can do is examine other plugins. Sadly, very few plugin tutorials actually explain what everything is and why it is that way. PEMapModder's tutorial is pretty good though, so check it out.
This may be better: https://inactive-to-reactive.github.io/PluginSchoolV2 When compiling plugins, you make a .phar file by either running devtools on your server with the scripts or by making a zip file and uploading it to https://pmt.mcpe.me
OK so with the second link, I made the zip file and turned it into a phar file. I am using ftp so I can go to the plugins folder and upload the phar. Is that it? I just upload it, restart my server and then the plugin should work?
This is what I do: (its a plugin that I'm editing) I download the zip from pocket mine, I go to the second link you gave me, I turned it into a .phar file and I went to es file manager, then I edited the file and went to my server control panal, then I went to ftp from there and uploaded the file to .plugins, after I restarted the server, I went on to the server, used /plugins and the plugin was not there! I don't know if I'm doing this right?
I tried this a few minutes ago, I went to the plugin I was going to edit, downloaded the zip, opened the zip in es file manager, edited the stuff I wanted to edit, went to that pocketmine .phar maker website and turned my zip into a .phar, then I went to my servers ftp and uploaded the .phar, restarted my server, joined the server and I ran /plugins, the plugin showed up but its in red (showing that its broken) Don't know if it was the .phar or not?
That's good, it just means the plugin was disabled by the server. Check your server log or console on startup.
I've restarted the server and looked at the console, nothing unusual. Its still showing up red and the commands aren't working...
Are you using Multicraft or something? You should see some errors on startup, or at least a message saying it is disabling the plugin.
I kind of am, the server client I use is powered by multicraft. I guess I'll keep looking at the console for something, if I do find anything what do I do?
Yea I looked at the console when I restart the server and read everything, only thing I thought was weird is that when it shows all the plugins saying stuff like "(Plugin) Loading..." Or when I shut it off "(Plugin) Disabled!" It shows that for pretty much every plugin except for the plugin I was editing ...
Can you show us a screenshot of after you do /plugins? Show us which listings are green, and which ones are red?
I believe @Thunder33345 is correct. Multicraft keeps most errors hidden, which means there isn't anything that could explain where the issue is. you should check your server.log file.
