Version: v0.7

BigCatch, adds to the Fishing mechanic in Minecraft. With random catch events, and making it easier to get a fish, even when the server is laggy. Using the plug-in is simple, just throw it in your plug-in folder. when ever a player starts fishing, its working!

All events are simple, there is no gold - or unobtainable items - in fact most of the fishing events created in BigCatch are well balanced for any traditional survival server.

BigCatch Makes a great and FUN addition to any server!

Features:

• Added random events, such as catching a leather hat, with a fish inside.
• Added the BIG CATCH, where a player gets 4 fish for the price of 1!
• Events range from Saving a drowning Pig, to catching a Squid!!

When a player has been fishing for 10 seconds, and fails to catch a fish he is then given a 45% chance to catch a fish, and then a range of other random events.

but, if a player has been fishing for 5 seconds or more, and catches a fish, they will receive a BIGCATCH - 3 additional fish.

I wonder if LevelCraft will conflict with Mcmmo? If it does... what Onza40 said... hehe

 

mcmmo here.

this is caused by a compile error... Eclipse failed to compile this right. Damn

i will work on it, and i will add messages to help identify problems. like a message displaying how long the program though you fished for. and other things.

here is my attempt to fix again.

Using your attempted fix version on #733. When I dropped an item (was crafting and exited the craft table) i got this error.

i see... i still have to work on my DropFish class...

 

Have you marked your plugin as inactive? I can help you out with it again if you would like.

 

I'd love to see this updated and available as a stand-alone mod (as opposed to integration with other mods, for freedom's sake). I recommend having Kitteh help out with the new events and classes in order to get your feet grounded with the new versions of Bukkit. I've had my eye on this one since CB#607. Please don't let this great idea go to waste!

 

Yeah, please keep working on this, it's the only reason I'd bother fishing at all

 

A MOD has marked it as inactive, because of how out of date it is.

New test version available - with a feature that tells you how long the plug-in thinks you have fished for.

If it dose not say anything, the plug-in thinks you are miss Casting your fishing rod at air.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19143385/bigcatchtest.jar

I will only work on the LC version after this version is Stable again for the latest RC.

 

With this version bigcatch does not even start for me, the last version you posted was playable for me.

oops forgot the .yml again......
my bad... again....

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19143385/bigcatchtest.jar

Just so you know, after testing you will be baked, then there will be cake.

 

No errors, debug messages may be wrong, but they seem to show up at random times, rather than consistantly at the end of each cast. Attempted least 10, caught 6 times, all 6 nothing other than fish, so not completely sure if it's working in the first place.

 

Unless the fishing time messages where above 15 seconds, you wouldn't get a random event, and no big catch unless over 8 seconds. so the fishing time message is very important, it should display 2 seconds after you are done fishing.

for the next version lowering the values to 5 and 10 seconds.

 

It says "BigCatch version 05" enabled in the server.log, but i dont see any debug output at all, and i cant seem to get any bigcatch or random event.

 

its not a debug output. There should be messages in the game telling the player what has happened.
you should see it every time you fish....

I now see that there is some sort of error related to big catch.

on a side note, the player must look at water within 15 blocks when fishing in order for the events to be logged in the plug-in.

 

All right i can see the message now, think i was too far away before, but it still aint working. i have been fishing for about 15 minutes and not a single event has happend

 

can you describe the messages? how much time dose the plug-in believe you have been fishing. Can you estimate the real time?

 

Does this work for 1.5?

 

currently no, as i am working out problems made by changes to bukkit.

 

One more "Please!" to motivate you

 

Yeah, i want it too.

 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19143385/bigcatchtest.jar

please test this version, there have been many changes and a few bug fixes. ( but it still might not work.)

If this dose work i am buying a cake.

 

This version works Cake time?

 

Hurray we have a RC build!!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19143385/bigcatchtest.jar

Keep testing!! MORE TESTING!!! TEST TEST TEST- MUST TEST!!! SOLVE THE TEST!!!

 

Bigcatch does not seem to trigger when it's raining.
EDIT: tested some more, proven my last statement to be false

 

Testing - Its the only part of science that I know about.

 

Love the plugin
i do think that the BigCatch event triggers too often. i had a full chest of fish in a matter of minutes.
more random events (maybe some rare ones with other loot or what not might be a fun idea.

 

YEAH! I LOVE THIS PLUGIN! <3 I have waited long for this, and this going right on my server!
