Inactive [FUN/MECH] ChopTree 1.24 - Chop Trees by Removing Lowest Block - Like Cacti [1000] (by Arcwolf)

ChopTree - Chop trees like cacti or make logs move down while chopping
Version: 1.24


ATTENTION:
There seems to be a plugin conflict where the client crashes with a blue-white screen and keeps crashing for minutes after that.
If you encounter the error please give me a list of the plugins you are using, with enough lists I will be able to outrule what causes it. Please also tell me if you are using any client-side mods.


Thanks very much to Arcwolf for developing version 1.24!

Tested with Craftbukkit build [740], [766], [798], [818], [1000].
Supports: Permissions v. 2.7.2 (Phoenix) and mcMMO v. 1.0.07.
Please give me feedback, ask any questions you like and/or provide suggestions!
Thank you!

Features:

• Lets trees act like cacti - remove a block and all blocks above are yieled too.
• Or you can make that log blocks move down one by one instead - no more climbing trees.
• Works with all three tree types (they all yeild their own wood).
• Also works with "big" trees that have multiple branches - makes felling them a lot easier.
• Restrict using this plugin to certain tools only.
• Supports mcMMO and Permissions.
• Only works on trees, houses made of logs are safe!
• Chunk protection to make your tree houses safe.

Description:
This plugin was requested by Britich and is inspired by the Canary plugin RealTree by billyoyo.
However, it is not just a simple port of that plugin, it was made from scratch after Britich's description.

Approach tree...


...and punch it.


All logs will be yielded.


The leaves will decay like normal.

Set-up:

​

Even though I added a lot of things for version 1.2 it will act like the original one if you don't change any settings - with the exception of players are able to toggle the plugin.​

To run this plugin just copy it into your plugins folder. On first startup it will create a ChopTree folder and a ChopTree.properties file, which you can edit.​

There will be a ChopTree.players file which saves player toggles and a ChopTree.chunks file which saves protected chunks.​

​

Properties File:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

The ChopTree.properties file will look like this when first created:

Code:

# -ChopTree Properties-
# You can add or change the command and toggle command aliases here.
# Because of technical limitations the console commands will always be "ChopTree" and "ct", but the in-game comments will be taken from here.

Command = ChopTree, ct
Toggle = ToggleChop, tc

# Here you can change the options (can also be done in-game).

ActiveByDefault = true
UseAnything = true
MoreDamageToTools = false
InterruptIfToolBreaks = false
SupportMcmmoIfAvailable = true
TreeFellerNeeded = false
LogsMoveDown = false
OnlyTrees = true

# -Material List-
# If the "UseAnything" option is false, the plugin will take the items you can use to chop trees with from here.
# You can either put in the material's name or its ID.

mat = WOOD_AXE
mat = STONE_AXE
mat = IRON_AXE
mat = GOLD_AXE
mat = DIAMOND_AXE

Command and Toggle can be changed manually by just adding more aliases for them, seperated by commas. Note that if you run the command from the console it will always have the aliases "ChopTree" and "ct", no matter what it says in your file.
You can also remove either of the lines to disable the command for players completely.

The options can be changed manually in the file too. To find out which option has which effect look at the "Commands" section below.

The material list will only be used if the option UseAnything is false. In that case you can specify which items players can use to chop trees with this plugin, other items will not trigger plugin effects (except chunk protection). You can either use the item ID or it's name.
If you want to make tree chopping more costly you can only allow gold axes for example.
List of item IDs on Minecraft Wiki, list of all item names in the Bukkit documentation.

can you make the plugin towny compatible?
towny protection rights doesn't work at trees

 

link is broken

 

Blue screen of boom is not so fun, will use gladly once it's working.

 

Erm can someone make this SSP please?

 

My players started getting the error (everything gets stuck and the screen turns black/blue (day/night)) after we changed to 860.

 

My players are also experiencing a blue-grey screen when broken logs fall on them after chopping a tree. My server is also b860 . It would seem that despite the Bukkit developers assertions that no plugins would be broken from 818 to 860, that it appears otherwise.

 

Download Link is broken, please re-upload!

 

This issue is from pre b860. i was running this mod on b818 prior to the release of b860 (and thus my server updating to it) and was having the crash out issues. have since disabled the mod until an update is released.

I suggest you do the same, no other fix has been reported thus far.

 

That's unfortunate. I've always believed that trees should behaved like cacti from the beginning.
I look forward to this issue being resolved. I especially like the idea of fallen saplings planting where they fall. A far more realistic and convenient mod.

I would like to encourage askmeaboutlo0m to keep up the excellent work.

 

Seriously can someone please upload the Plugin again because the Link is broken?

I really need that mod!
Reminds me on the Timberrrr mod

 

@askmeaboutlo0m

can you please please have it destroy leaves in the same way? thank you! i want to disable leaf decay so people can make bushes but then the leaves will never poof off trees

and the d/l links down

 

Thanks man for you hard work on this plugin!!!

 

Download link is broke. If you need free hosting for your jar files let me know.

 

its an awesome plugin, UPDATE IT PLEASE its causing alot of errors with mcmmo
i fear that if i put this back again it will crash

 

Yeah, exactly. This plugin, combined with LyTreeHelper's drops, make trees perfect.

 

Um, why is the download link directing me to a google search page... About referral links ?!?!?

 

Used my brain to get a download link.

Explained:
Ok, so the download link for 1.0 is;

And the download link for 1.21 is;

Common factor highlighted, this would mean all i would need to do is change it to 1_23 for the newest version? Right?

YES I WAS RIGHT! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27166980/ChopTree/1_23/ChopTree.jar

Please use your brain a little! Enjoy All!

This took 2 mins to find out, You would think if your smart enough to use a bukkit server with the funky permissions plugin you could problem solve to get this solution?

Anyway, End Flame. Good Plugin, Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks really much!

 

the command /ToggleChop dont work with me. B860

 

when it's gonna be for bukkit 860 this plugin is really great

 

All 818 plugins work on 860

 

Actually i cant make it work. dont understand.. Permissions are ok, plugin is enabled, and ActiveByDefault true, but no result when chopping tree. .

EDIT: SORRY THE PROBLEM WAS ME

 

I am aware of all your problems, but I am lacking time to do anything right now as I am preparing for a travel.
If any other developer wants to have a try they may do so, but I'll be coming back when I have more time.
About the link: I shortened it but it seems Dropbox broke it. Gonna fix that now.

 

Just thanks you for continuing developping this nice plugin !
Very attractive, Merci!

 

I hava a few questions...
How do i make the speed of chopping down the whole tree slower?
and from a realistic view leaf of tree should fall too...
is there any option to do that or if not,could you please add this to a further version?

 

Speed of chopping can not be modified without going in to a database and recording every chop and respawning the block blah blah blah author won't do it

 

Thanks to everyone who used the link I found and didn't say thank you.

For everyone having issues on bukkit 860, It works fine. I tested all commands and everything seems to be working fine. I suggest you check permissions, the fault is probably yours.

 

Does this work with Essentials by any chance?

 

well that explain a lot of things, but can you give us an accurate date when you are going to get this to work?

 

I use essentials, and it works. HOWEVER: There is an existing problem with the mod itself that causes periodic client crashes. It appears that the act of catching airborn logs felled using this mod, causes an inventory error that the client can't resolve. It seems the falling logs have an unknown item ID for some reason.

One workaround is to back away from the tree you are chopping, and allow all logs to settle before collecting them. This can be easier said than done however. If you experience this effect, there a couple solutions:

One is to delete the user datafile on the server belonging to the person who crashed. This will wipe their inventory, and allow them to log back in.

Another solution that SEEMS to work, is to wait about five minutes and log back in again. I can't guarantee this however.

While this mod has a great deal of potential, and I look forward to this particular problem being addressed, you may be better served waiting for a new release rather than dealing with the potentially tedius problems.

askmeaboutlo0m (the author) has issued an invitation for someone (anyone) to try and fork a fix while he is indisposed.

Perhaps someone will come up with a solution. In the meantime, I for one, will simply wait. My server ran just fine without it, it's a nice feature that I would really like to have, but it's not game-breaking not to have it.
