    DropChest - Chests that absorb dropped items
    Version 0.8.2
    [​IMG]
    Important! When migrating from 0.6 to any above version, you have to move the DropChest.txt from server/plugins/DropChest.txt to server/plugins/DropChest/DropChest.txt
    This is because I have to follow the Bukkit plugin saves guidelines.

    This plugin automatically adds dropped items to near chests. That is very useful for automatic farming and monster traps that gather loot.
    Features
    • automatically suck dropped items that are near a chest to that chest
    • customizable warning if the chest is nearly full
    • list your DropChests and watch how much percent is still free
    • Permissions
    • Filter
    • Storage Minecart support
    • Dispenser and Furnace support
    • Item information
    • Chest protection
    • Automatic Owner tracking
    • Double-Chest support

    Usage
    Commands
    Show commands (open)

    To add a chest to the "watchlist", type
    Code:
    /dropchest add [radius]
    After that, rightclick the chest that you want to add. Radius is the radius in which the Chest should suck items. Default value is 2.

    To remove a chest from the "watchlist", just type
    Code:
    /dropchest remove chestid
    where chestid is the number of the chest that you get when you call /dropchest list

    You can list the chests that are on the watchlist via
    Code:
    /dropchest list
    You can adjust the radius of a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setradius chestid radius
    You can check which id and radius the Chest in front of you has:
    Code:
    /dropchest which
    after that, rightclick on the Chest to get information about it.
    If you are sitting in front of the console, or don't want to rightclick, you can use
    Code:
    /dropchest info chest
    It will generate the same output as /dc which.

    You can teleport to a chest via
    Code:
    /dropchest tp chestid
    where chestid is the ID of the dropchest

    You can set the name of a DropChest via
    Code:
    /dropchest setname {chestid} {newname}
    The name is displayed in chest is full warnings, and in the DropChest list!

    If you migrate from 0.6 to 0.7, you can set the owner of a dropchest by typing:
    Code:
    /dropchest setowner {chest} {newowner}
    You can protect a chest by typing
    Code:
    /dropchest protect {chest} {on|off}
    You can always use /dc instead of /dropchest if you are lazy.

    Another very helpful command is /dcitem:
    Code:
    /dcitem [NAME|id]
    
    This can be used to obtain the name of an item by it's id or get an id of the item-name.
    This doesn't work with all names, though.

    Use the new command /chestinfo {name|id} to get info about what's inside the chest.
    Omit the argument and rightclick on any chest to get info about that.
    Example:
    Code:
    >/dcitem 4
    4 is COBBLESTONE
    >/dcitem cobblestone
    COBBLESTONE is 4
    

    Show Configuration (open)

    You can configure DropChest by pasting the contents of the following block to plugins/DropChest/dropchest.cfg
    Code:
    #Should the dropchest drop items when it gets a redstone signal?
    droponredstone=true
    #How long should the dropchest not suck items after it has dropped them
    waitafterdrop=10
    #Should users be able to protect chests like in LWC?
    usercanprotectchest=true
    #Which is the default radius if you omit the radius argument in /dropchest add?
    defaultradius=2
    #Which should be the maximum radius for players that have not dropchest.setBig and aren't ops?
    fallbackradius=15
    #At which fill-status should the chest warn you?
    warnfillstatus=90
    #Which message should appear as warning?
    #You can use this variables (example):
    # $owner : the owner of the chest (narrowtux)
    # $name  : the name of the chest (my superduper mobtower chest/#42)
    # $fill  : The fill status, in percent (81)
    warnmessage=$owner, your chest $name is nearly full($fill%).
    

    Filter / Storage Minecarts
    Show Filter/Storage Minecarts (open)

    Filters have changed in version 0.6. There are now 3 seperate filters that are for sucking items, pulling items from passing minecarts and pushing them to passing minecarts.
    You can now set the filters by either using commands or using the interactive mode. Let me show you the interactive mode first:
    to begin, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull}
    Note: choose one of suck, push or pull, please (for example /dropchest filter suck)
    Then you will enter the interactive mode. In this mode you can edit the selected filter by hitting the chest with the desired item in your hand.
    To edit another filter, type the above command again.
    To finish your filter, type
    Code:
    /dropchest filter finish
    Commands mode:
    Code:
    /dropchest filter {suck|push|pull} {chestid} {itemid|itemtype|clear}
    Call the filter-command like above, as second argument, use the chest-ID, and as third argument, either type the item-ID, the name of the item (as they appear here: org.bukkit.Material) or type clear to clear this filter.
    Please note! The suck filter acts different from the Pull/Push-Filter when it's empty. When the suck-filter is empty, the chest will suck every item. When a Pull/Push filter is empty, it won't take or give any items to a passing minecart.

    Show Permissions nodes (open)

    You can use these nodes:
    • dropchest - To get the right to use DropChest
    • dropchest.create - To call /dropchest add
    • dropchest.remove - To call /dropchest remove chestid
    • dropchest.radius.set - To set the radius of a Chest to something else than 2
    • dropchest.radius.setBig - To have unlimited radius
    • dropchest.which - To have access to the /dropchest which command
    • dropchest.teleport - To be able to teleport via /dropchest tp chestid
    • dropchest.filter - To set or reset filters
    • dropchest.filter.set - To set filters in interactive mode
    • dropchest.filter.reset - To reset filters in interactive mode (click with nothing in hand)
    • dropchest.list - To have access to /dc list and /dc info
    • dropchest.destroy - To be able to break a dropchest without removing it before.
    • dropchest.protect - To be able to protect a chest
    • dropchest.moderator - To be able to modify a dropchests properties even if you're not the owner. Also, ops and the console can do that.
    You can use these variables:

    • dropchestmaxradius - To adjust the maximum radius for a group or a user
    How to use variables:

    Code:
    users:
      narrowtux:
        info:
          dropchestmaxradius: 1000
    
    This is just an example and this also works with groups!

    what about this request?

    narrowtux

    Thats still pending ;)
    Will do this for next release.

    The problem with the API is that if they change the name of it, all plugins which use SULPHUR will break. So they will likely not change the name of it...

All other chests work. destroying + recreating chests and dropchest solved issue.

    the dropchest tells the Box is full even if its about 50% only ..
    will it only check the first row ??? Its also placing items everywhere even if there are almost empty stacks ....
    Maybe some sorting could be done after adding the item into it ..

    Anyway, a great plugin !!!!

    Kartus

    request 1: dropchest "warning full" and "amlost full" messages should be toggled off AND settable at which fillrate they show up and better, customizable text, in config. i would prefer to have no messages than actual situation ;)

    request 2: get dropchest owner and save his name and show his name at /dc which or /dc list and only he is capable to edit dropchest (and dropchest.admin). this setting also toggable in config.

    narrowtux

    @Conan1981
    I currently calculate the fillrate of a chest by just checking how many of the stacks in the chest are not empty, regardless if there's only 1 or 64 items in a stack.
    So it comes to weird results sometimes. I think I will update this for 0.7
    @Kartus
    Request 1, with a configuration file (finally) will come in 0.7
    Request 2 is already in the making ;)
    You will have to set owners of the chest when migrating but if users create new chests, it will automatically be set that this user owns the chest.
    Only an owner of the chest, an operator, or someone with the permission dropchest.moderate can edit properties of a chest.
    Also, there will be a new attribute for chest-protection. It is default off. If the owner turns it on, only he can open or destroy the chest.

    Not sure if this has been asked before, but could you consider changing your '/item' command to something else as it conflicts with Essentials.

    Kartus

    Thank you very much! I can't wait until 0.7+ is released =)

    on my server all should be able to access chests (if should not, i have essentialsprotect, LWC or similar plugin, but NOT DropChest). So you can implement this feature, but please make in config toggleable if it's possible to protect dropchest or not or make a solution over permissions. cause i don't want that my users or myself can protect their chests ;)

    Any way to have Redstone expel items from the chest/furnace? I cook a lot of porkchops and would like to have a pressure plate expel the cooked ones to save time.

    Is there a way to deactivate the /item x function because I'd like to use this to get items. The /give x x way is a bit longer. Perhaps without dropping the permission for the command.

    Thanks.

    Sorry, the function has been renamed for v0.7. I hope it comes later this day ;)

    Does this work with minecarts, who have chests on them?

    Yes, you have to set up Pull or Push filters to make them work.
    The /dc filter command handles this.
    push: chest -> minecart
    pull: chest <- minecart
    type /dc filter push or /dc filter pull for entering interactive mode and then tap the chest with the item in your hand that should be pushed or pulled. After that, type /dc filter finish.
     
  27. You really need to add a setting to disable the messages... they're global and really annoying when dealing with a storage room for example, and more chests are usually full.

    narrowtux

    0.7 is not out yet. Will continue working on it when the bukkit build for 1.5_01 comes out.
    @Kartus: Cool idea too, the other one is already configureable to shut it off because it allows easy exploiting the chest protection. So a user who isn't the owner of a chest can simply place a redstone wire and torch in front of it to drop all the items out of it.
