    MagicSpells - Add magic to your server!

    View the plugin on BukkitDev!

    MagicSpells is a plugin that creates spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. Each spell can be assigned customized reagent (item) costs, cooldowns. durations, ranges, and so on. Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a wand, or both. It's all customizable.

    Download

    Important: Read before downloading! There is a lot of information in this post. I know, it's a lot to read. However, I spent quite a while writing it all in what I hope is a clear, informative, and understandable manner. So, please, read the entire post before asking a question. Chances are, the answer is already here. I also suggest taking a nice look through the configuration file. Is it a massive file? Yes, it is. But if your question is "can I do this?" then a look through the configuration options would be a good idea.
    Plugin Manual

    There is a lot of useful information in the plugin manual, which can be found here:

    MagicSpells Plugin Manual

    Usage

    Spells can be cast either by using the /cast command or by using a wand item. To cast a spell, a player must first know the spell. Server operators know all spells by default. They can teach spells to other players by using the teach spell. For example, to teach bob the blink spell, an operator would type: /cast teach bob blink.

    Bob can now use the blink spell. He can either cast it by command, by typing /cast blink, or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.

    If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.

    If mana is enabled, a player can use the /mana command to see how much mana they currently have.

    Configuration

    The zip file contains a config.yml file that should go into the MagicSpells folder within your plugins directory. The default configuration has appropriate spell costs, durations, and messages for each spell. However, you will most likely want to customize this to fit your server.

    You can modify the config.yml file directly, or you can choose to leave it intact and instead create an alternate config file, by default altConfig.yml. Any configuration values in this alternate file will override the values in the main config file.

    There are some general configuration options that apply to all spells, as well as options for each individual spell. Important: The default configuration file does NOT contain all config options, it is just an example. Just because a config option isn't in the default doesn't mean it is not available. For example, it's possible to add a duration to any buff spell, even though the default configuration file does not have a duration on all buff spells.

    To reload the configuration, simply cast the fake reload spell (/cast reload). Only server operators can do this (it can also be done from the command line).

    Please see the plugin manual for information about all of the various configuration options.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Help me! Why isn't it working?
    If - after reading through this entire post - you can't figure out why it isn't working, please take the time to submit a proper help request. You can post your request either on in this thread or in the MagicSpells forum. You should provide the following information:
    • The CraftBukkit build you're using.
    • The MagicSpells version you're using.
    • Which permissions plugin (if any) you are using.
    • The error in the console, if there is one.
    • Your config file(s). Please don't post them directly , use a service like http://pastebin.com and just post the link.
    It says I need reagents whenever I cast a spell! Where do I get reagents?
    One of the main ideas behind this plugin is to give players cool abilities, but with a cost. The reagents are the spell's cost. This can be configured in the config.yml file individually for every spell. The config option name is "cost". You can also add your name to the list of exceptions in the general.cast-for-free option.

    Can I unbind spells from items?
    Yes. Simply use the bind spell to bind the spell to your empty hand, and it will no longer be bound to any item.

    Why can't my players cast spells?
    Why does it say "You cannot cast that spell right now" when I try to cast any spell?
    If you're using Permissions, please make sure your permissions are all set up correctly. Look in the Configuration: Permissions section for more information. Also double check and make sure your use-permissions config option is set to true.

    What are the Permissions nodes?
    The nodes are listed on the permissions information page in the plugin manual.

    I can't get my Permissions working! Can you help me?
    Remember that all nodes use the "real" spell name, rather than the name you define with the "name" option. If you cannot get your permissions working, feel free to ask for help. Make sure you specify which permissions plugin you are using, and all of the items from the "Help Me!" question above.

    Will you add iConomy (or another economy plugin) support?
    With the addition of the 'tome' and 'scroll' spells, I currently have no plans to add special support for an economy plugin. You should be able to create tomes and scrolls and sell them using any plugin that allows you to sell items, thus allowing you to sell spells.

    I have a great spell idea! Will you add it?
    Please tell me about it by submitting a ticket! I can't guarantee that I'll make it, but if it's a feasible idea, I'll definitely consider it. I'm always looking for new spell ideas. Note that I may not respond directly to your idea, but I always read the suggestions.

    I've found a bug! What do I do?
    Please submit a ticket! Please include your CraftBukkit build number, any error in the console, the situation that caused the error (if known), and if you think it's applicable, the list of plugins you use.

    For Ceral

    Nisovin, I have had a problem while trying to load your plugin onto my server. I get this error:
    2:39:31 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling MagicSpells v1.0 (Is it up to date?): org/bukkit/permissions/PermissionDefault
    java. lang. NoClassDefFoundError: org/bukkti/permissions/PermissionDefault

    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bukkit.permissions.PermissionDefault
    (Blah Blah Blah)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(UnknownSource)

    I think you got the idea so I don't think I have to post all of it. Can you tell me what is wrong? I'm sure you have seen this type of error before, so can you please help me?
     
  4. Request.

    Could we get a config flag for "scroll" that defines if spell reagents are used upon creation of scroll?

    For example, Combust costs 1 RSD. Creating a scroll of Combust with 5 uses cost 5 RSD + possible spell cost configured for Scroll.

    Otherwise I see no way to balance the Scroll spell for us at least :)

    Are you running CraftBukkit 1000?
     
  6. And a bug.

    Using default config for Scroll, I enchanted Paper with Leap.

    "You have created a spell scroll for %s."

    The %s was not replaced with string Leap. And I do have name: Leap in the Leap section.

    Spell suggestion:

    Ritual, channeled - Summons a Giant \o/

    nisovin

    Are you absolutely certain you're running build 1000? That looks exactly like the kind of error you'd get if you were running an older version.
    You should know what build you're running. But you can type "version" into the console to see.
    Both players just cast the spell at the same time.

    For Ceral

    Thanks for the help. It seems that I am running version 904. Again, I am an idiot, but where can I get build 1000? If I cannot get 1000 what other plugins do you recommend that are based on magic?

    jlu

    Oh!

    "A wild update appears!
    It's super-effective!"

    Now it seems work with a second version of [1000]. Weird, i was sure that i installed that before. Thanks anyway, OP, and good work!

    There's a "Get CraftBukkit" tab on this website that has a link to the latest recommended build (which is 1000).

    So as ive heard, the new Heroes plugin will be supporting this?

    And maybe a channeled spell to be able to bring one down b4 it stomps you in the face =p.

    Channel spell ideas:
    Meteors, (noticed plugin NeoMeteors, might probly work) - create a meteor storm.
    Lightning Storm - multiple lightning strikes.
    Conjure Food - summons some food.
    etc.

    maybe have 3 people cast at once for higher level spells, but that might cause some timing issues, especially with lag. And is there a way to put a channel timer/delay b4 it activates?

    LucidLethargy

    So I copied this precisely and I can't get my copy to function at all... I even tried mixing it up!

    Here is what I have entered:

    I have also tried to format it exactly like the rest like this:

    spellcopies:
    dirtvision=stonevision
    and also reversed it to read:
    spellcopies:
    - dirtvision=stonevision

    Any help would be amazing... I just don't undertand what I am doing wrong.

    Could you put your config in code tags instead of quote tags? I need to be able to see how your config is indented.

    Reloading, full server or magic specific, seems to wipe the scrolls. Am I doing something wrong?

    Here is the pastebin of the same code I showed above, it is all correctly formatted according to your walk-through in your OP, and the default config it generated automatically.

    The spellcopies node should be at the same root level as the spells node, but in your config it is indented.

    Can i add creepers and slime in my summon spell?
     
  23. Offline

    nisovin

    Creepers seem to work great. Slimes not so much. For some reason I can't detect whether they're targeting a player, so they will immediately attack the caster.

    Oh my god I'm an idiot. I had use-permissions: false

    Stupid stupid stupid stupid... I'm good now, thanks ;)

    I'm having an issue where, regardless of what spell I try to cast, I get the: You do not know a spell with that name. This is happening with regular spells and meta spells (such as /cast fireball or /cast blink, as well as /cast list or /cast help).

    I am running quite a few plugins but I don't see anything that would conflict. Config is the default. I've attempted casting as an admin with the permissions '*' as well as a member of a group with the permissions magicspells.grant.* and magicspells.cast.*, same results.

    The console isn't showing any errors when I make the attempt. The config I'm using is the default (completely unedited, tried both downloading with the config as well as deleting it and letting the plugin generate a new config). Bukkit b1000. Running Permissions 3.1.5 (also tested with 3.1.6 just to be sure, same thing).

    Worth noting, casting via the console seems okay (rather, /cast reload works fine from the console, and I get the appropriate Cannot cast that spell from the console. error when trying anything else). I've also tried loading in debug mode and it goes through the list of spells for each user without issue. I'm a bit stumped...

    For the hell of it, I've posted my server log when I ran it with a very reduced list of plugins. Maybe someone knows more than I do. Will happily post anything else that's needed.

    This is so you can write your own spells.
    Yeah, I forgot to put it in, so I added it to the config file in the post.

    @FaeDine
    Do you have the use-permissions option set to true?

    Version 1.0.1 released! No new spells this time, just a bunch of new features that were requested, and a few bug fixes.

    Thanks nisovin, good work. Also liking the idea of creating external spells, but ill wait for a guide, as id probably screw it up. btw, is there also a way to use the system chat to make a timer for channeled spells, as you have done with your mana system. Maybe something like this:
    Channel,
    |.... |
    |......... |
    |............... | } Cast time/Delay
    |................... |
    |.......................| -> Cast

    Maybe also configurable timers.
    Dont want to burden you, just to jog some ideas.
    Regards.

    Drawing looked better b4 post =p
