[ADMN/FUN] BukkitContribEssentials v0.1.3 - Textures, capes, music, notifications, and more! [1000]

BukkitContribEssentials - Textures, capes, music, notifications, and more!
Version: 0.1.3

BukkitContrib is an amazing plugin. Unfortunately, it does nothing on its own that can be used by a non-programmer. BukkitContribEssentials uses many of the features of BukkitContrib without needing any code to be written other than a simple configuration file.

Features:

• Custom texture packs, globally or one per world
• Custom player capes and skins
• Custom player titles - can be multiple lines
• Play music from Minecraft or from a URL, globally (requires OP) or just to yourself (/playmusic command)
• Custom notifications when entering an area - Includes name, description, any item icon, and (optionally) music
• Automatically installs BukkitContrib if it's not already available

Download - Source Code



Changelog:

• Added reload command
• Fixed players not getting capes and skins when the /reload command was used

Version 0.1.2 (2,291 downloads)

• Fixed log spam when entering a region

Version 0.1.1 (326 downloads)

• Stopped trying to load BukkitContrib before the check to see if BukkitContrib is installed.
• BukkitContribEssentials will now display an error message in the server console if an invalid URL for a texture pack is used.
• Fixed edge case where a player leaving within 1/20 of a second from joining would create log spam.

Version 0.1 (73 downloads)

• Initial release

Default config too confusing?
Here's a different example:

Is there a way to set all users skins/capes to a different url?
e.g. global_url = http://somesite.com/Minecraft[Skins|Cloaks]/username.png

I don't want to have to specify a skin/cape for each and every person and would prefer a script on my host handle everything.
e.g. some psuedo-code

Code:

if (fileExists(/local/path/username.png))
{
  read "/local/path/username.png";
}
else
{
  read "s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/username.png";
}

P.S. I have this working now with redirecting s3 to my own server, but that's ugly.

 

can i put some one an private music when they log in???

 

When i run it it gives me

[INFO] Current OS: Windows

suggesting for a volume..

 

for some reason all of the texture packs have stopped working, i didn't change anything it just stopped working, also it would be amazing if you could add something like in a world the texture pack would be forced than on a different world the texture pack would be what ever the user wanted.

 

Did M.C. Escher draw that picture? The pink line is going outside and around the front right edge of the prism, there

 

It's actually from sk89q's wiki on worldedit region selection.

 

Is this compatible with PlayerEditor?

 

I would hope so, considering that it is a dependency...

 

@Nightgunner5
Since a lot of texture packs requires this "HD Patcher" iam wondering if this kind of TP are working well in BCE.

Another question: How can i setup a default skin for new players?

Sincerely

 

hey, to get the custom names and the custom capes, do you need to download a seperate client for it to work, or just download the plugin?

 

So if I try to do this

It doesn't work.


But If I do this

http://pastebin.com/397bxmQX - Pastebin because it didn't copy out well.

 

I cant get the regions to work. I dont get no errors in the console

Code:

regions:
    main:
      - name: Welcome to the Spawn
        description: Now jam to this!
        icon: DIAMOND
        music: WET_HANDS
        max:
            x: -28
            y: 64
            z: -3
        min:
            x: -38
            y: 88
            z: -13

 

Code:

max:
            x: -28
            y: 88
            z: -1
        min:
            x: -38
            y: 64
            z: -3

try that

 

what's the cause of this? I'm having some problem with this too.. What do the z changes for?

 

I got the same problem, too.
Using #1000 and installed BukkitCobtrib mod in MC.

Code:

regions:
    world:
      - name: Utopia
        description: A fairy village
        icon: PORTAL
        max:
            x: -200
            y: 100
            z: -800
        min:
            x: -300
            y: 0
            z: -850

I cannot see any top-right tag on the screen when I enter that region

 

only the first region is working

Code:

regions:
    TheUnderWorld:
      - name: Jail
        description: Wellcome to your Doom.
        icon: MOB_SPAWNER
        music: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35038748/JailHarmonica.ogg
        max:

            y: 86
            z: -286
        min:
            x: -49
            y: 76
            z: -306
      - name: Arena
        description: Wellcome to the arena.
        icon: MINECART
        max:
            x: -102
            y: 93
            z: -144
        min:
            x: -49
            y: 55
            z: -90
      - name: Shit
        description: F*** THIS.
        icon: MINECART
        max:
            x: -85
            y: 77
            z: -162
        min:
            x: -78
            y: 74
            z: -156

(the Jail one).

 

Suggestion: Add region define area were it plays one or more music that loops. Have minecraft music or music from a URL.

 

My regions aint working at all

 

I have tried useing this plugin but it just messed up my server and with my other plugins as well as the fact I can't change the time, is there something I might be doing wrong?

 

Pay attention to your min/max values, people! I'm no developer but I can clearly see that most of the "regions aren't working" posts are because your values are either reversed or just plain mixed up creating an invalid region.

 

i coppied mine from WG.
So they should be right.

@Nightgunner5

I have another issue.
When I die, the skins of the other user and NPCs just go back to the normal non bce skins, up until i reload the plugin.

Any idea what iam doing wrong?

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

 

could u do wiki or help or something, i am totally a newb on this

 

Actually I am not sure if the plugin is running.
It can't even find the message like 'BukkitContribEssential is running'
And I use the simplest config (for testing purpose), it doesn't work

Code:

      - name: Faldor
        description: Town of boxes
        icon: CHEST
        max:
            x: 50
            y: 127
            z: 50
        min:
            x: -50
            y: 0
            z: -50

Do I install it wrong? I just put the .jar file to plugins folder and edit the config file after it is generated.
Is there any things i missed? Appreciated for any help.

 

Awesome! Can You add Mysql?

 

If a texture pack is forced in one world but not in a different one when you cross between worlds the texture should not stay on the forced one example: 2 worlds world 1 is "world" world 2 is "underworld" underworld has forced texture pack mythos and world has no forced texture pack, but when i got to world from underworld mythos still stays as the texture pack unless you exit and change the texture pack yourself.

 

Why should he even think of adding MySQL support? MySQL is designed to improve performance with incredibly huge files (AFAIK). A flatfile with about 15 lines or URLs is not of an incredibly huge size. Additionally, it removes the ability of changing the configuration on the fly.

 

the sound is not working

Code:

regions:
    world:
      - name: MetroVox Station
        description: Travel hub of the world
        icon: MINECART
        music: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36518722/daytime.ogg
        max:
            x: 28
            y: 45
            z: -14
        min:
            x: 15
            y: 41
            z: -35

Its also the testaudiofile iam using.

 

Here's a pro tip for everyone who has problems with setting up the regions. Don't just use the coordinates of point A and B of a cuboid. Arrange the X Y Z coordinates at low and high.
This might seem very obvious for some people, but I noticed a lot of posts about regions due to the wrong coordinates.

Here a little example: My cuboids A and B are respectively:

• 47 74 173 (X Y Z)
• 81 64 139 (X Y Z)

In the config you have to put the lowest values at "min:" and the highest at "max: "

So In my case, this will not work:​

Code:

regions:
    world:
        max:
            x: 47
            y: 74
            z: 173
        min:
            x: 81
            y: 64
            z: 139

It should be like this:​

Code:

regions:
    world:
        max:
            x: 81
            y: 74
            z: 173
        min:
            x: 47
            y: 64
            z: 139

 

is there any videos of this the words for some reason are confusing me the site
can u have mutiple songs playing sorta like a radio
is the client something each person needs installed or something the server needs
