    As a past server owner, I simply hate how clunky and confusing towny is. I aim to make this light-weight and easy to use for both server admins and server players.

    I have stopped working on this because I didn't like how it worked so far, and I don't want to recode everything. Source is available here.
    The code is very messy at the moment, so go ahead and dig through it.



    Completed features:
    • SQLite connection
    • Configuration system
    • City listings
    • Configurable plot size and road size with easy visualization
    • City and plot creation
    • Database checks to see if you own a city, if there is a city with that name, or if there is a city at the location already.
    • BOSEconomy/iConomy/EssentialsEco support (using Nijikokun's Register)
    • Plot info and sellings
    • Plot purchasing
    Planned features:
    • Some kind of permissions support
    • Plot and road protection
    • Plot purchasing
    • Town funds
    • Suggest some.
    Working on:
    • Break time!
    • Going to work on protections
    I hope to have a working version within a week, but no promises. I am open to suggestions. :D
    This is not meant to disrespect Towny. I just needed to point out flaws in order to show this plugin's strengths.

    Check out what I've finished. Basically you can buy cities (no city plots yet, lol) and it will create an easily visible plot of land (which will be the "town hall"). Both the plot size and the road width are configurable. It's very dynamic and has a nice feel to it so far.

    This looks really interesting. If you're going to make something like towny are you going to have any sort of land stealing or pvp mini-game aspect?

    That's always a possibility. I'll think it over.

    Progress: @Tadas159 @dak393

    Making really good progress. You can create cities, add plots of land to your city, and put plots of land up for sale. Right now I'm testing economy support and working on the ability to buy plots that are for sale.
    I've also done a bunch of little things that can't be listed. :p

    More progress:
    You can now buy, sell, and resell plots of land. :DDDDD
    Next I'm going to work on plot protection. Yaaaay.

    YAY! So the plots can be varying sizes? Can we have number of plots before a street? Are there individual plot prices? Can plot owners resell the plot at any price they wish?

    DrAgonmoray

    Yes they can be varying sizes. No, there is always a street between the plot. Adding plots to a city is configurable. The mayor can sell plots at whatever price they want. Owners of plots can also resell them at whatever price they wish.

    Awesome this is looking great! I would like when you have time a configurable number of plots before a street, call it a "block" and this can be set along x and z :) . You could have some configuration like 4 plots by 2 plots making more realistic looking cities :D Of course this is not that important and is just something to think about for later

    Update:
    Bad news, I ran into a problem while making plot and road protections. I realized that my plot and road system needs to be completely re-designed.
    The problem is, roads on the outside edge of the city are interpreted as wilderness, and roads inside the city are owned by players (when they should be owned by the mayor/city)

    Haha, we meet again. I came onto this forum to post about my own town plans, and I saw a thread titled "towny alternative," so I *had* to check it out, and lo and behold, it was you. :p

    Anyway, how are you making the mayor designate plots of land? Does it automatically design plots based on the info you put in (that being the plot size, road size, and town size)? The picture may have just been an example, but I feel this might be a little restrictive.

    On my old server, I'd always yell at the owner for making really boring looking cities (square plots everywhere, much like your picture) so I'm looking for a mod that controls town owning, but doesn't necessary require uniform plots.
