[Addon 1.42] Iron Chests V0.9.5

Let's do some planning for password GUI's

Here's what i know:
I've never seen GUI's that send text from client to server. So, I assumed this is hard or impossible (please tell me you can do that).
What I plan to do is a 10 digit password input buttons, with a text displaying the password you entered, another button will try and validate.
Also, I can combine this with the idea of multi-owner chest, where when players enters the correct password, they will be added to the owners list.
To change the pass, just destroy and re-put the chest.

Is it possible someone could link me their IronChest.cfg file please? I am having a block ID problem which isn't fixable by ID resolver. I need to change the block ID manually, and the cfg isn't generating properly.

Cool mod, I just hope everything in my chests doesn't magically disappear one day <_<

I noticed a bug with the animation on the gold chests, it has about a half second delay... Iron chests seem to be fine though.

SMP by the way.

I just merged some code, I think it should be fixed for the next version.

I thought the player who placed the chest is the "chestadmin" and can add members to it

Yeah, but I'm not sure if passing text in GUI's is do-able or relatively simple to do.
I'm just throwing an idea that I think would be programmatically simple to achieve, which would end up with relatively the same result.

Basically, if you had a password chest, you'd enter the password everytime, and you would be able to change the password.
This is like giving other people privileges into chests.
Sure I can make this into a login-and-enter-password-every-time chest, but i can also just make the user never enter the password again (which idea is better?)
Also, for adding members to a certain chest, I think it would just be easier that you give the password, since it can get quite complicated(programmatically) on how to put the interface of text entering, sending to server, etc...

Quote from max96at

But if others find out the password they could open the chest and that's the advantage of the member system

True, but that's why you make sure you don't give out passwords to anyone.
The member system (as far as I can think of) will be very complicated to code, not to mention how it will be complicated to use, and might be buggy.

Just uploaded 0.9.3 with cleaner code and Diamond Chests (4x storage!)

Added Recipe for Diamond Chest with IndustrialCraft's Industrial Diamond

Gah! Stop it! I'm trying to build a version for bukkit. Every time I get a jar done- it's updated again!

Seriously, I've got this down pat now. Looks like it ports easily to bukkit. If you're interested I can share my work, when I've got 0.94 done

I'll be done for a while (expect a day or two for next updates at least), gonna work on the password lock and think about shared personal chests.

Also, I'll post my code you Github later on if anyone is interested.

Oh and if you don't mind, I can post a link to your bukkit port.
