Inactive [Mech/Fun]EpicGlass v1.16- Shatter those glass blocks! [1.4.2 R0.2]

Version 1.16
On BukkitDev

EpicGlass adds a new function to both glass blocks and panes; the ability to be broken! With EpicGlass, you can charge up your bow and send an arrow smashing through windows or take someone by surprise by crashing through their skylight. But don't worry, all that broken glass will slowly regenerate, so you can shatter it over and over again.

NEWS!
Shield:
Version 1.15 of EpicGlass is now using Shield. This means that if you are using a supported protection plugin you can have those regions protected from EpicGlass. Once you've downloaded Shield, by default, players will not be able to cause breaks where they don't have build permission. Also, if you feel the need to override this in a specific region you can set flags with the /egsetflag command. Let me know what you think of the new features!

This has already been approved on BukkitDev

Yeah, its kinda that type of plugin isnt it? lol. People need to see it in action. I'm working on my logo for bukkitDev, but that'll be the next thing

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

 

If I have time I can whip one up, any preferred texture-pack?

 

Probably just default. But it shouldnt matter as long as its not anything stupid, lol.

 

Well check out my channel youtube.com/meaCraft
If you see the Bukkit Tutorials, that's the texturepack I use, is that a problem?

 

Sayshal

Well, your glass texture doesn't have a whole lot of substance, so you'll miss out on some of the lovely worldEvent block breaking packets I worked so hard on, lol.

 

Default it is, I'll record it in an hour, link it here. Feel free to hate it or embed it, Idc.

 

Sayshal

Chances are quite good that its better than anything I could make, lmao

 

Lol just thought of a config option: Radius of damage by projectiles.

 

What do you mean?

 

Instead of breaking every glass attached, break only in a certain radius of where the projectile hit.

 

You're looking for the MaxBlocksBroken field, its in there, i promise, lol

0 means its not counting, put anything else in there and it will limit it.

 

Alright, well I'm done recording. Rendering, adding music, and uploading now.

 

"Add some way to respect other plugins protected regions "
you can try a

Code:

if(event.isCancelled()) return;

to check if another plugin cancels your event dont hold me to that though kinda nubish lol

 

That wouldn't do anything because of the events I call to get when you should be breaking blocks.

I use EntityDamage (fall damage) and ProjectileHit, neither of which i would think any protections plugins would handle at all.

I am open to suggestions tho, if someone has a clever idea

Logo is EPIC

Malikk, can I suggest you remove the version from the file name? If you keep it EpicGlass.jar, when you update people can just overwrite the old one, instead of having to delete the v1.0 for 1.1

Sayshal

1) the video is awesome, thanks

2) NOOOOOOOOOO, bug.... dang. I hadn't tested that. But that means that skeletons don't shoot full powered arrows, because thats the only check in place, besides the config stuff.

Again, thanks for the video, I really appreciate it. And its goin up now

I suppose. I name them all separate in my dropbox, so ive just been doing it that way.

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

 

What I do with my texturepack, is rename the OLD one (in your case) EpicGlass_v#.jar, then upload the newest version as EpicGlass.jar, so you never have to update the link, just the title + new features.

 

Well, i just wanted a direct link to get approved, it'll be a link to the my bukkitDev files page pretty soon, lol. But yeah, I'll make that change. Thanks

 

Good job. I remember that the first plugin I made broke glass when players fell on it.

 

I was surprised that I couldn't find anything similar out there. If it had glass in the name, id have found it, lol. But yeah, seems like a simple concept, but I'm hoping to really flesh it out. Maybe add options for cracked stone bricks and some other things.

EDIT;
I sent those worldEvent Packets you never added

 

Nice dude

 

I think I will Approved on bukkitDev, just waiting on the submissions forum here.

 

Yay for a great submission!

 

I saw you are planning on getting support for area protecting plugins, but will you be getting Towny protection support?
Also, can there be an option to disable the glass regenerating?

 

There already is a config option for removing the regen, just set enabled to false.

As far as area protection, I'm hoping to come up with some genius idea that would cover ALL protection plugins, but if not, yes, towny would definitely be one of the supported ones.

 

How about that Dispenser can break the Glass too?
Would be lovely for some Traps lol

 

They should be able to atm. I just havent added config options to turn it off yet.
