    No problem..
    I promise it was not my intention anyhow....
    just felt the need to make a correction when I was told that my code was closed and not available.

    We are all coders here just trying to make Minecraft a fun game for other people.... I am not here to fight

    Ultimate_n00b I still don't understand how this thread would fit anywhere else. This is a "Plugin Development" forum. If you're suggesting moving it to WIP & Development Status, we've already opened a topic there. When this post was made, this is the only place it fit. It was not a Plugin Request, It was not a WIP and it certainly wasn't a "Show off your Bukkit Server". Though the development status of the plugin has changed and it is now considered a WIP, this thread lives only because people reply to it.

    If Heroes chooses to move back to bukkit then that's their choice. It will not affect our plans for Legends in any way. Heroes is still closed source and the future of their development is somewhat bleak at best, ESPECIALLY if they are coming back to Bukkit. It just shows that they are indecisive about their development decisions.

    Thanks for the interest and support.

    Plugin Development

    Need help developing a plugin? Got a bug you can't squash? Ask in here!
    @B20Justin This forum is actually for requesting Help with making plugins.... not recruiting devs for a plugin, or advertising.... the other people here do have a very valid point about that.

    Michael Rhodes I've yet to hear a suggestion of where to move it, that actually made sense. If the mods think it should be moved, It will be moved. I think that should be the end of that discussion.

    Not sure where you heard that. As we've never stated this.

    I'm glad you're not basing your development on another project! Thought I'd chime in and say that we aren't indecisive, we're on alternate server software due to limitations and bugs in the Bukkit API. It is doubtful that the changes we've made would get incorporated into Bukkit as they've gone unpatched for more than a year, which means that we wont be compatible anytime soon unless Bukkit does pull them in and it really is contingent on the server including the changes.


    As I've suggested on other RPG development threads, don't base your plugin ideas off of being like or 'better than' some other plugin (In your description). Just make your RPG experience what you want it to be, put a list of features you want to have on it and let it speak for itself. Continually referencing Heroes, mcMMO, or Jobs, or really whatever current RPG plugin is out there and claiming you're going to be better because of X reason is just a lot of talk. Instead, list out what your vision for *your* RPG is, and then write out what you'd like to do in it, then actually start making it. People will make the distinction for you once you have released, and if it's good, they'll use it.

    I thought I heard Kainzo mention that the heroes team was going to try to make it work for bukkit again?

    Hi Sleaker fancy meeting you here :)

    I admit, my choice of words there could have been better. I only meant that doing something like moving back to Bukkit would make it seem as if the team was indecisive, which obviously isn't the case.

    Personally, I wouldn't ever go as far as to say Legends will be better than Heroes. However, I do think we have slightly different design goals, for better or worse. I think the main point Shadow_Worm was trying to get across is that we want to bring back to the Bukkit community what was lost when Heroes left. Lots of people were disappointed and are excited to see a project try to fill the void.

    The real idea behind Legends isn't to bring our RPG experience to life, but to give people the tools to build their own. We also aren't aiming to replace anything but to make it as easy as possible to bridge the gap between related plugins. A lot has changed since this thread started and the description doesn't reflect some of our recent design decisions. It also wasn't written from a developers perspective, so of course there will be some inconsistencies.

    Thanks for chiming in :)

    We've stated its a possibility. Bukkit lacks the events for Heroes and was deleted off the repo because we had to fork a fork to get it to function. If you want Heroes to return, push bukkit to get in events/systems that support us.

    It's really up to Bukkit if it wants the best RPG plugin back or not ;)

    Maybe you could contact an admin/mod to get it moved…but we all post here because it stands out like a stain on a white shirt…

    - storing data to the config
    - using MYSQL
    - registering events
    - legends rpg project
    - tracking block locations……

    HackintoshMan Darn, I keep hoping this thread will die but every couple hours someone posts here again just to try to explain that it doesn't belong here. If you feel that strongly about it, stop posting. :rolleyes:

    Hmmmm.... has it been a couple hours yet ???

    Kinda ironic that you want this thread to die, but you post here stating that.... You are feeding your own fire ;)

    Legends don't die easily......... get it, legends :)
    *if no one else thought that was funny, I am sorry ;)

  15. No problem, wasn't expecting Sleaker to post on here. I will take a look through all the threads about Legends that I wrote. I agree with what you said, and I realized how I was comparing the two on the project. I'll start fixing that up now :)

    EDIT
    Fixed all the weird remarks I used about Heroes and Legends, this post was actually written before we gained any popularity. So it was a bit aggressive, I don't really remember writing half of this. But if you spot anything weird I'll take a look at it.
