Hello friends! I'm not very good with java so I was hoping I could get someone who is good to help me. I used to own a server and we used a plugin called WAR to help us simulate Battlefield matches in minecraft. The plugin had it's issues, as the dev trashed it. I'm hoping to reopen my server, but I must find a replacement for the plugin. I'm hoping to expand upon the things it does well, while correcting the things it doesnt. For starters, I love how it handles creating maps, entering maps, and loadouts. I love that I can make it so players can bring their own gear in. I love the whole wool block head thing (cmon its awesome xD). I would love if we could attempt to recreate that. However, I would love if the war plugin allowed other plugins to detect deaths. One of the issues with the war plugin is that deaths didn't register properly. It created a somewhat "sude death" then tpd the player back to their teams spawn. I was hoping we could add a hook in for plugins that detect death so stats such as KD, and kill streaks could be implemented, in addition to being able to give players money for kills. I can compensate in hugs and other things if needed, I know I'm asking alot but this is a really great plugin and I want to try and utilize it's potential. Heres a link to a video someone on my server shot of us using the plugin.
@FInalaoh You'd best describe the plugin rather than provide a YouTube video, as most people just don't give enough of a crap to watch it.
Ah, Fin's description skills are obviously top-notch. I suppose I'll do my best to describe what we had set up, being the old co-owner (just under owner) rank before it went down. We had a match-based arena shooting game set up, not unlike Battlefield, COD or CS:GO or whatever shooter you want to compare it to. Each map had a gamemode for it, and the gamemodes were different, in some cases, the objective would be like capture the flag, to steal the opposing team's flag and reach your flag (or spawn). In other cases, the objective would be a team deathmatch, where each team has to kill the other team until their lives run out, or an objective (I'm not sure what to call it) where both teams have to take an objective in the middle and run it to their spawn (kind of like capture the flag, but the flag is in the middle). Also, it had a kits system (which we didn't use because we let players fully customize their kits) where you could have preset kits to let players choose what kind of guns they wanted in the game. I suppose I should also mention that all of this is in tandem with a guns plugin that we had that implemented, you guessed it, custom guns. It had spawns, which were used in such a way that if a player died, they would be teleported back to their spawn, and the way it was interesting is that it wasn't a death per se, but instead of the player hitting the death screen, when their health ran out, they would be teleported instantly to the spawn, skipping the death screen and restoring any items/conditions they had, but using spectator mode for a death timer would be smart too. For distinguishing between teams, it put a colored wool block on the players head corresponding to the team they were on, and IIRC, the later versions also used dyed armor for the player. A major system it had, though, was if you defined a certain area as part of the "arena" or map or whatever terminology you prefer, then at the end of each round, that map would be restored to the last state it was in before the match, allowing for the map to be destructible and just regenerate at the end of each round. A major issue we had with the original plugin, though, was that it didn't have any hooks into the plugin allowing other plugins to utilize any of the data it had, meaning we couldn't have a plugin simulating killstreaks because war uses a pseudo-death of their own creation and never had any way of other plugins being able to hook into it and document kills or deaths or anything for that matter. That's all the features I can think of right now, I'm sure there are more which I can recall if somebody reminded me. Feel free to reply if you have any more questions.
