FAQ
Why do some players get the chest menus?
The pointer menus only open once a player's game has loaded their resource pack. A player who declines the pack, or whose download fails, gets the chest menus, and so do Bedrock players. When the pack is hosted at pointerUi.packUrl and the file there does not match the plugin's own pack, every player gets the chest menus until the right file is uploaded. See Setting Up.
Our server is behind BungeeCord or Velocity. What do I set?
Players there never reach the server's own port, so it cannot hand them the pack. Upload plugins/ProtonAuctions/pointer/pack.zip somewhere players can download it, put the direct link in pointerUi.packUrl, and restart. Upload it again after a plugin update.
After a layout change, players get the chest menus. Why?
When the pack is hosted at packUrl, a save in the layout editor that changes the grid or the size of a box also changes the pack. Upload the new pack.zip to your link. See Layout Editor.
The edges of the menu are cut off for some players.
Lower pointerUi.panelAngle, from 80 down to as little as 36. Players with a low field of view or a square screen then see the whole menu. It applies on /ahadmin reload.
ItemsAdder kicks players over the resource pack.
ItemsAdder can kick players who decline a pack or whose pack fails, and that includes this one. Turn off resource-pack.kick-player-on-fail and kick-player-on-decline in plugins/ItemsAdder/config.yml. The console warns at startup while either is on.
Do I need a restart after changing the settings?
enabled, packHost, packPort and packUrl need a restart. The other five apply on /ahadmin reload, and a layout saved in the editor applies at once.
Can a player go back to the chest menus?
Yes, at any time, with /ah menus chest. /ah menus pointer switches back, and the choice is remembered.
Do anticheats flag the pointer menus?
Not in our tests. On Paper 1.21.8 with GrimAC, Vulcan, Matrix and Themis on their default settings, using the menus raised no flags. Stricter settings, other anticheats and other server versions were not tested. If yours flags the menus, please tell us on Bug Reports.
