[1:19 PM] Royal: Starting work now
[1:21 PM] Royal: Looking over what needs to be done before Hub is finished off
[1:21 PM] Royal: Going to start with finishing Sword Game, need to get the armor stand working
[1:35 PM] Royal: Testing to see if its a default region thing causing the armor stand to not spawn or if it is a flag in the Hub region
[1:40 PM] Royal: Testing with a blank region (no flags) to see if the armor stand will spawn
[1:40 PM] Royal: Works, now going to add all the flags from Hub 1 by 1 until I find the one causing Armor stands to not work
[1:54 PM] Royal: Well, I moved over every flag 1 by 1 and it still spawns the armor stand perfectly o.O
[1:55 PM] Royal: Super confused, going to try a different location inside the Hub regionj
[1:57 PM] Royal: Spawns it just fine o.O
[1:57 PM] Royal: I think I know whats causing it
[2:01 PM] Royal: My prediction was that it was only not spawning the armor stand if the sword block location was inside the game region. I tested moving the sword block a single block over (still in the region) and it still worked
[2:01 PM] Royal: Now trying to move it back to the original block
[2:01 PM] Royal: I have a weird feeling its going to work
[2:02 PM] Royal: Nope didn't spawn armor stand, moving the location 1 block over to the left
[2:02 PM] Royal: uhh
[2:02 PM] Royal: works
[2:03 PM] Royal: I'm not really sure what to say, it seems to be this single block that it doesn't work on
[2:04 PM] Royal: I'm just going to leave the location one block over for now
[2:15 PM] Royal: Currently working on adding the "shake" animation for the sword
[2:19 PM] Royal: for some reason nothing seems to be happening when I change the armor stands right arm position, the code is running fine (added debug messages)
[2:19 PM] Royal: Testing to see if the stand will get removed (stand.remove())
[2:22 PM] Royal: Nope even stand.remove() won't work but the code is still running o.O, also no errors what so ever
[2:26 PM] Royal: Now going to try and equip it with a diamond chestplate everytime a player clicks
[2:28 PM] Royal: Things just got even more weird, I can hear the "equip" noise but it doesn't actually equip the armor stand
[2:28 PM] Royal: going to make the stand visible to see what is happening
[2:35 PM] Royal: I changed the stand to be visible and its still invisible
[2:36 PM] Royal: even added a debug message to make sure that the code was compiling correctly
[2:36 PM] Royal: I have no idea whats going on
[2:36 PM] Royal: going to continue trying a bunch of different things but I need someone to see this because I have never seen something like this before xD
[3:00 PM] Royal: Tried a whole bunch of differnet things
[3:00 PM] Royal: nothing is working, its behaving very unpredictably
[3:00 PM] Royal: going to pause for a little bit
[4:38 PM] Royal: Resuming
[4:41 PM] Royal: I'm going to try a few more things with armor stands
[4:41 PM] Royal: and if it doesn't work, i'm going to move on to the list of small changes
[4:57 PM] Royal: Trying one last thing
[4:59 PM] Royal: Nope didn't work, moving on now
[5:06 PM] Royal: Lol just noticed that the armor stands aren't spawning anymore, I haven't made any changes :/
[5:14 PM] Royal: and now the armor stand just magically spawned and is visible this time
[5:25 PM] Royal: Having issues with disabling double jump in a region due to the way that the double jump is setup currently, working for a fix
[5:30 PM] Royal: The armor stand seems to be spawning properly now, this is the strangest thing I've ever witnessed
[5:30 PM] Royal: after this I'm going to give another shot at the shake animation
[5:31 PM] Royal: Fixed, double jump is now disabled in a radius around the parkour
[5:37 PM] Royal: Pausing for now
[7:41 PM] Royal: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 10 of Finishing things up .  ~2  hour 40minutes
What was done: Spent a lot of time working around this weird armor stand stuff, never seen anything like this happen before and I still have no idea what is going on. Added a no double jump radius around the parkour and made some small changes in the code.

[3:25 PM] Royal: Armor stands not working once again
[3:30 PM] Royal: Yup, not working at all anymore, moving on to the changes for Bomb Lobbers
[3:41 PM] Royal: Bomb Lobbers made into free-for-all
[3:45 PM] Royal: reduced gadget selector inventories size to 9 slots
[3:46 PM] Royal: Looking over everything and then moving on to Factions
[3:48 PM] Royal: Might of found a solution for armor stands, testing now
[3:52 PM] Royal: Got it working :smile:
[3:54 PM] Royal: Moving onto Factions
[3:58 PM] Royal: Looking at some tutorials to get me started up
[4:04 PM] Royal: Some other plugins we need for Factions:

- ItemLinker
- Custom Enchants of some sort
- Banknotes
- AutoBroadcaster
- ExperienceWithdraw
[4:05 PM] Royal: Setting up NoCheatPlus
[4:16 PM] Royal: Installed NoCheatPlus and got the best available config and installed it

Note here that I am going for a "Civilization" theme, meaning creating and maintaining a Faction will cost money and a lot of other economy features will be enabled. Claiming land will also cost money

[6:56 PM] Royal: Configured and installed Banknotes, ExperienceWithdraw, and ItemLinker

[2:59 PM] Royal: Starting work now, taking over the Featherboard for hub
[3:02 PM] Royal: Just noticed that the Server Selector isn't working, finding a solution now
[3:04 PM] Royal: I believe its an issue with Core, passed it off to Knightz for now
[3:04 PM] Royal: Working on Scoreboard
[3:15 PM] Royal: Created a mySQL placeholder for balance, uploaded to the main scoreboard
[3:15 PM] Royal: working perfectly
[3:16 PM] Knightz: There's a built-in balance placeholder, {money}
[3:16 PM] Royal: I believe thats for Vault though
[3:16 PM] Knightz: It works though. I made vault integration
[3:17 PM] Royal: Oh, did you hookup Vault to work with the database?
[3:17 PM] Knightz: Yep
[3:17 PM] Knightz: Check pinned in #staff-chat
[3:17 PM] Royal: Ah cool, will switch it to {money}. However sometimes it shows {money} instead of the actual amount
[3:17 PM] Knightz: Hmm, it might be because of the $ before it
[3:18 PM] Knightz: I believe there's something like {money-formatted} which adds a dollar sign
[3:18 PM] Royal: I'll try that out 1 sec
[3:19 PM] Knightz: Okay, GCC should be working now
[3:28 PM] Royal: Yup, server selector working now @Knightz
[3:29 PM] Royal: As for the scoreboard, I removed the $ sign and made it money_formatted and it still sometimes shows {money_formatted}
[3:30 PM] Royal: However with the MySQL placeholder it works fine, I'm guessing that Vault sometimes is having trouble getting the data so the placeholder just becomes text
[3:30 PM] Knightz:
economy(top)

Placeholders
{money_formatted}
Vault economy money formatted
Returns: Text

{money}
Vault economy money
Returns: Number

{money_rounded}
Vault economy money rounded
Returns: Number
[3:31 PM] Royal: Yeah, all money_formatted does is change it to instead of "10000" it would just say "10k"
[3:31 PM] Knightz: Ah, okay.
[3:32 PM] Royal: I'll leave it to the MySQL placeholder for now until we figure out why the Vault one doesn't always work
[3:32 PM] Knightz: Ok.
[4:01 PM] Royal: Hub scoreboard finished
