Inactive [MECH] Lampstone/Timeblock v1.0 - Automatic night-time ANYTHING [1060]

Lampstone - Automatic night-time lamps ANYTHING
Version: v1.0

This plugin lets you place any block which turn into another block type in the morning, and then turns back into the first block type in the evening. This lets you build nice looking lamp posts which turn themselves off in the morning and stuff like that.

Feutures:

• Adds the /lampstone command, which enables and disables lampstone mode
• Use any block type for both day and night.

Screenshots:



Screenshots taken with a modified version of Painterly pack, to match glowstone and glass texture.

Instructions:

1. Download Lampstone.zip above
2. Open Lampstone.zip
3. Place everything inside Lampstone.zip in your plugins folder. This should include: Lampstone.jar and a folder called Lampstone, with the files called lampstoneLocations.yml and lampstoneProperties.yml inside.
4. If you want to change the default properties, open up lampstoneProperties.yml.
5. In lampstoneProperties.yml, change numbers behind blockDay and blockNight to your liking. (It should be block IDs, default is 20 (glass) in the day and 89 (lightstone) in the night.)
6. Save lampstoneProperties.yml (if you changed it) and run the server
7. To enter lampstone mode, enter "/lampstone" in the chat
8. When in lampstone mode, place a block of the type you specified as blockNight in lampstoneProperties.yml anywhere. If you didn't change any properties, this is a glowstone block. A message in the chat should tell you that a lampstone block has been created.
9. If you want to use another block combiantion than the defaults (the ones in the configuration file), you use the command like this:
   /lampstone [blockDay] [blockNight]
10. To exit lampstone mode, simply enter "/lampstone" in the chat again

Hey guys... @Tarnacki @Juze @TruffleDucks @Izze
I was wondering if i could continue this plugin...
i will keep it all the same wont change any files.. i will just continue to update and also add a few more future features and commands to it later on...

Thanks if i can

 

i hope you do it has become crucial on my server, well not crucial but it makes it 100% better

 

@Tarnacki ok sure i will get on it right away! it will take me around 5 mins... to post it on submissions

 

Thanks for keeping it alive . Can I suggest some things?

 

Yea sure go ahead bro @TruffleDucks

 

Can you make it so that you can make more blocks to change from night to day in the config file? Like torches at night and air at daytime.

 

Ok i will include that in the v0.2.. i am having a little error with re-releasing as there is something wrong with the source... i will get back to you tomorrow when ive fixed the error @TruffleDucks

 

i would have a idea too
its possible that the lampstone switch on if its raining?

 

@Tealk i will look into that thanks for the idea

 

@madcrazydrumma

Just to tell you:

@Izze is still active!
I wrote a big, big post some pages ago and Izze also uploaded some 0.7 test builds!
So please, read before you post something! Thanks!

 

@xGhOsTkiLLeRx uhuh ok... and fine lol... i will just keep it with me until he stops updating this...

@xGhOsTkiLLeRx but if he was still bloodeh updating this plugin... why the heck is it in the [INACTIVE] category huh?
Thats what i thought...

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

(Sorry, if my tone was a little bit aggressive )

We know it's inactive, because 0.7 is still in development, but
with support for

multiworld

But that seems to be a little bit difficult and Izze hasn't got much time atm

 

@xGhOsTkiLLeRx well.. maybe if i could talk to izze we could co-partner this plugin? im not sure... but oh well i would like him to agree

 

@madcrazydrumma please do

 

@Tarnacki yeh i would like to but im not sure if @Izze would agree :L

 

still works for 818

 

Hey all.

I think I've fixed removing lampstones now!
I've tested it a bit, and it seems to work. The solution to the problem is a bit ugly, but who cares?

Feel free to test it!

Here

 

Hey,

it's working very, very great!

Only bug:

If you don't have the permission to destroy a lampstone, it reappears, but you get a drop

Greetings

 

what permission?

 

Lampstone.create
Lampstone.break


(you need the big L, not l!!!)

 

OK, thanks! Easy fix, I think.

Aaaaaand, there. Done. I think.

Okay, found only 1 bug!
(Did the same test like on page 6)

If you don't have the permissions

Lampstone.create

You can still enter /lampstone and create lampstones!
No more bugs found
I think you can release 0.8 very soon!

Greetings

 

It still works on my 1.6.6 Server *yaay*!
Still one of the best plugins!

 

can i run this plugin twice, if I rename one of it in the plugins folder??????!!!
Or Please make a new one with the possibility of create more switching Blocks at night/day

 

permissions?

 

Why is this marked as inactive? It even works with 1.7.1.

 

Because the thread title doesn't show that it works with 1.7.1
(just the way it works...if you don't update the thread, then it becomes inactive)

 

Yes it works with #953 !
