This is a thread for Skygriders about Sponges, enjoy? Sure I guess? I don't know.. Sponges are how Skygriders protect their base, creations, farm, etc. A sponge protects 30 blocks from the placement of the sponge, making a total of a 61 by 61 by 61 cube of protection! A sponge can be obtained in two ways: ./kit tools or buying them (most likely at ./warp protect) Sponges have basically their own 'mind' meaning, if you add someone or put in a command on one sponge, it DOES NOT do it for all your sponges. Sponges have commands themselves to do different abilities, below are almost all the commands known by most players: *Note* If a command says either deny or allow, it can be substituted with the opposite antonym to do the opposite thing. (Ex: ./ps flag invincible allow: makes no damage in a sponge, while ./ps flag invincible deny allows damage in a sponge) *Note* ./ps info Explains everything about your sponge, from who owns it (you), to people added, to the commands that are set on it. I recommend using this often to see who all is added, and if you do not trust a player who is added, remove them. ./ps add (Username) This allows players to have full permission (besides using commands on a sponge) in your sponge. If you do not trust the player DO NOT ADD, you can get griefed, stolen, and/or killed, and certain things cannot/may not be refunded by players or Staff. ./ps remove (username) Takes away ALL rights of a player if added. They cannot build or mine things in your sponge. You are liable of your sponge, though if you unadd someone and do not give them their items they may of had store there, that can cause trouble. D: ./ps info members This command tells you the players that are added to your sponge because maybe you're a nub and forgot. ./ps info flags Command tells you the allow/deny of the commands on your sponge you have some preset made by the plugin already like TnT Denied. This helps if you are moving the sponge so you can just replicate your commands you already have. ./ps flag invincible allow This command makes it where in your sponge, you cannot take damage, become hungered, or take negative affects (besides slowness). If you do not like the feeling of 'cheap-skating' the game, I wouldn't use this. Most players use this, so don't feel bad if you do! This command is wonderful in mob farms. Players starting out may need this command just to get their grip on this game mode. ./ps flag mob-damage deny Wanting mobs to stop hitting you? But you still feel like you should have fall-damage, potion damage, etc.? Well this is the command for you! It denies all ./ps flag greeting (Greeting) Each sponge has a default message that appears when you/others enter a sponge. The default is: 'Entering (Owner's Username)'s protected area.' Now that's just boring isn't it? Well you can change that by this command! All you gotta do is type your new greeting as the greeting. Here's and example to type: /ps flag greeting Welcome to my base! Hope you like it! Now you want to make it even better? Just in case you do not understand how to make it colored with the command here is an example: /ps flag greeting &bWelcome to my base! &gHope you like it! Please have appropriate and mature greetings. Greeting and Farewells Chat: Spoiler: Color Codes &r Light Red &R Dark Red &y Light Yellow &Y Gold &g Light Green &G Dark Green &c Light Blue &b Dark Blue &p Pink &P Purple &2 Light Gray &1 Gray &0 Black &w White Spoiler: Font Codes &k changing letters &o italics &m line through text &n underlined text &l bold ./ps flag farewell (Farewell) Just like the greeting but this is the message that appears when players exit your sponge. You can do the same colors and all with it too. The default farewell is: 'Leaving (Owner's Username)'s protected area. Please have appropriate and mature farewells. ./ps reclaim This command automatically picks up your sponge so you don't have to mine it, or if you just forgot where it is (you nub :3), you can have it picked up in no time! Be careful, if you pick it up, there is no command to undo picking it up so you have to replace it and retype all those commands you put in there already ;-;. ./ps flag use allow This command is mainly used for buttons, pressure plates, enderchests, anvil, and enchantment table access for unadded players. This is wonderful for those public XP farms. This also fence gates, levers, etc. I would say use with caution if you have dispensers for private use! *NOTE* This will NOT allow players into your regular chests, just for clarification. ./ps flag chest-access allow This allows everyone, added and unadded, players into your chests (if not locked by Chest Shop- Signs) this is wonderful for public XP farms with free loot! USE WITH EXTREME, I AM SAYING EXTREME CAUTION!!! If you get griefed due to use of this command, and items are stolen, it is your fault, do not try to ask Staff/Players for refund. ./ps flag mob-spawning deny This command is glitchy, or maybe it doesn't even work, if it works for you mail me! I want to know, this command is supposed to make where any type of mob (hostile, passive, or neutral) does not spawn in your area! This is good and bad! Do not use this if you have to place spawn eggs/regular eggs. Got a Iron Golem Farm? This will make it NOT work (I was a nub and did this, trying to get chicken eggs to stop spawning in my shop due to customers. If you troubles with using this command do ./ps flag mob-spawning allow and message me. Use with caution! ./ps flag tnt allow This allows you to place TnT, though it will NOT break blocks, breaking blocks is a skygrid-wide command to be off for Mob-Grief, TnT-Grief, and Lava/Fire-Grief. Use with caution for damage, may death, you can/will get in trouble if you kill players with this command, accident or not. ./ps flag enderpearl deny This makes it where no one can use enderpearls in your region, maybe you have a parkour? Something just to help a little :3. (I'd like to say that this command is only available from Admins.. we are allowed to use it for you, just ask!) ./ps flag pvp allow This allows PvP in your area (nu duhh).. This is only allowed on Skygrid within the condition that EVERYONE (who goes to your sponge) knows about PvP is enabled in your protection. If they do not know, you are not allowed to do this command, since it could be counted as killing player outside of PvP Zones. Please PLEASE use with good care, I do not want to have a lot of problems associated with this feature. These are the commands that most people know/allowed to use. If I come across any more I will edit this forum for more variety for players to use! If you have a command not above that is allowed... you know the ones that aren't. Then comment! I will edit the post and add it. Common misunderstandings: Why can't my friend place blocks even though I added them? Spoiler: Answer This is a common problem, first thing if you have 2 sponge close together, they mix up commands, lets say you add them on one sponge... but not the other! You need to add them to each sponge. Same with commands! You need to put commands on each sponge. Why can't I place my sponge? Spoiler: Answer Two possible reasons: Your sponge is too close to another placed sponge. Try moving away. Or if you find the sponge that is close, count 60 blocks towards your base then you can place your sponge there. You have exceeded your limit of how many sponges you can have. Each rank has a different amount they are listed below: Defaults (Non-Donors): 6 sponge limit VIP's: 8 sponge limit Supporter's: 10 sponge limit Elite's: 12 sponge limit Premium: 14 sponge limit Sponsor: 16 sponge limit Skygod: 18 sponge limit (sources: ./warp donate's info) I hope this helped you! If you got any questions, or I misinformed in this above, please tell me! Thanks ~Hedge and (little bit of the Nub: Avery) Edited: 1-13-14 *Added color/font codes*
