[FUN/MECH] PistonsExtended v1.4.0 Add Extra Functionality to Pistons [1000]

PistonsExtended -Extend Your Pistons

Version 1.4.0

This plugin allows you to define pistons that are crushers that crush blocks and if you left click a piston with a slime ball you can toggle the pistons stickiness. To define a piston as a crush you attach a sign to the piston on any of the 5 sides that has the first line of [crush] & Place bedrock i block away from piston like so: P_ where P is the Piston _ is the block you want to crush. The second third and fourth are used to define what blocks can and cannot crush anyone of the lines can have a [NOT]
and that means that any of the data values on the sign are not to be crushed any and items that aren't on the list will be crushed an example sign would be

[Crush]​

[NOT]​

35,46,20​

50,76,1​

​

that sign would mean all blocks except for cloth,tnt,glass,torch,redstone torch, and stone can be crushed​

I'll see what I can do, I know nothing about java, but am downloading the sdk now and see if I can compile it, I'm interested in learning java too actually so this'll be my kickoff =P

 

ok note that these builds are untested as such i will not support them if you have issues

 

I'll back up and switch back to your supported build if I encounter any probs, could you update me on how to compile? I downloaded and installed the latest sdk but still it seems javac is an unrecognized command.

 

hmm did you add java to your build path also wait 1 minutes and ill be pushing 1.1.6 with permission support

 

Add java to my build path? Oh man I understand you have no time helping out a Noob =P Although I learn pretty quick. I'll wait for 1.1.6
Any chance you feel like teaching me those compiling basics, I'd be glad to help you test afterwards.

 

sure but i need to have breakfast also git is being annoying

 

Take your time, I've re installed the latest SDK (This one right? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/overview/index.html) And then I open cmd, set the folder to the src and run "javac *.java" followed by "jar cf PistonsExtendedTest.jar *" .. The console tells me both javac and jar are unrecognized commands. Any idea?

 

yeah
type echo %path% and tell me what it says

 

It says:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common F
iles\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft
 Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\
Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSyst
em\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Techno
logies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH\bin

EDIT:
I think you meant this:

Code:

C:\Users\Dyramisty\Desktop\matter123-Pistons-Extended-65963a9\matter123-Pistons-
Extended-65963a9\src>echo %C:\Users\Dyramisty\Desktop\matter123-Pistons-Extended
-65963a9\matter123-Pistons-Extended-65963a9\src%
%C:\Users\Dyramisty\Desktop\matter123-Pistons-Extended-65963a9\matter123-Pistons
-Extended-65963a9\src%

I got a little further (I think) When I run javac, it says this:

Code:

C:\Users\Dyramisty\Desktop\matter123-Pistons-Extended-65963a9\matter123-Pistons-
Extended-65963a9\src>C:\glassfish3\jdk\bin\javac *.java
javac: file not found: *.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

try javac com.matter123.PistonsExtended.* but im releasing 1.1.6 in a couple of hours after i check that config works

 

Nah didn't work, I'll wait for 1.1.6

 

ok
it will probly be 1.2

 

U uploading anytime soon?

 

as soon as i test permissions work want to test it?

 

Sure, need my email or something?

 

OMG!!! Thank you matter123 for taking my idea and throwing it into the mod Below is a youtube video demonstrating the "unlimited cobblestone generator"

 

Hey you got the 1.2 up yet? Btw, this dude above me made me have a great idea since I'm an official graphics designer and have medium knowledge of flash and video editing, I could make certain small tuts for your plugin if you'd like.

 

that would be awsome and yes i would like your emal to give so you can test 1.1.8

 

Posted it on your private wall.

 

Thank you needed this since they removed the destruction ability of ice
lovely.

 

thanks

 

Hey man,
Testing results:
1: I could use both Crush and Dupe without adding the nodes.
And 2nd: Up on using the Duper my server restarts without any error message.

 

ok what did your sign look like?
and ill get 1.1.9 in a couple of miniutes

 

I already mentioned this as a plugin request: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-auto-pistons-activate-whenever-there-is-a-block-to-push.26641/

but it looks like it would be a great fit into your plugin.

I'd like to be able to put a sign on a piston (with a tag like [AUTO] or something) that would make that piston automatically become powered whenever there is a block in front of it to push (other than another piston, water, or lava since I would like to be able to auto push cobblestones made by water+lava).

 

ok sounds easy enough

actually in needs a lever on it too

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

 

I used
[Dupe]

Let me know when 1.1.9 is up.
Btw, I'll be uploading a tut soon showing how to make a cobblestone generator in combination with falsebook, using a 3 sec delayed automatic clock.

 

ok
well 1.2 will be a bit as i update dupe and add auto

 

Alright man, when u uppin?

 

yeah well im performing a major rewrite of the code later today probably, as well as support for 1000

ok the rewrite is more major then i thought because there are piston events now 1.1 will infact work with 1000

The nethrar plugin can keep chunks loaded.
