[INACTIVE][FUN/MECH] Philosopher's Box v1.7 - Item conversion based on defined values. [740]

Hey I positively love this plugin's concept but I need some help. On my server I can build the thing, but I can not cycle through the materials on the sign at all and when I click the button it says that I need to select a conversion. I have items set to true in the config but I just can't scroll through them for some odd reason.


---------------FIXED-------

Found out it was because I was not capitalizing the P and B on my sign, GREAT PLUGIN!

 

Thanks

 

I was looking for a way to "melt" old, broken-down pieces of iron armor into a couple of ingots for recycling, and this is perfect! Fits the RP standards I try to keep up and has a ton of potential for other applications. Cheers!

Edit: I'm thinking it may not be possible to do what I was envisioning, now that I actually look into it and try to config it. If I were to set something like this:

Code:

opsonly: false
material:
    265:
        convertto: true
        value: 1
    306:
        convertto: false
        value: 2
    307:
        convertto: false
        value: 3
    308:
        convertto: false
        value: 2
    309:
        convertto: false
        value: 1

I assume that it won't let me "downconvert" to a lower-value item?

 

It would let you convert in either direction to any material set to True. However, use the name constants as specified in teh wiki link, these are the internal Bukkit enumerated constants, not the values.

 

Updated to work with latest Bukkit version

 

plugin works on 617 but I get a lot of

[SEVERE] could not pass event PLAYER_INTERACT to Philosopher's Box java.lang.NullpointerException at com.nohupgaming.minecraft.listener.player.PhilosophersBoxPlayerListener.onPlayerInteract<PhilosophersBoxPlayerListener.java:78>
and it goes on and on.

 

@darkshaed - New version out there to get rid of that error.

 

wow thanks

 

Ok, so I'm trying to set up multiple conversions but only allow for those conversions to happen.
i.e.

Code:

opsonly: false
material:
    glowstone_dust:
        convertto: true
        value: 2
    gold_ingot:
        convertto: false
        value: 1
material:
    string:
        convertto: true
        value: 1
    wool:
        convertto: false
        value: 9

(i may have my wool/string ratio backwards, but nonetheless)
In order to have gold turn into glowstone dust and seperately have wool convert back to string.

Is this possible?

Thanks

 

Great plugin! We use this on our server to replace the need to visit the Nether (it was too buggy for most people's experiences). In addition we can put undesirable materials to use again. Here's our conversion:
2 redstone -> 1 glowstone dust
10 gravel -> 1 netherrack
1 slime ball -> 1 soul sand

One small frustration I ran into during config was getting the material names right. I followed the minecraftwiki naming convention, but that happened to be wrong on "slimeball" which was "slime_ball". I think allowing item codes would help prevent config mistakes.

 

Hello and thank you for a very great plugin, I took this to my hearth on the server instantly due to the very easy reason: I do not want any stupid virtual currency's that exist in a variable, I want ingame items as currency (mainly gold_ingot & diamond as currency on my server). So this plugin now works as the servers first "provisioners shop"

I know have a couple suggestions/questions (request? ) for this plugin and it would get 5 star+ approval and recommendation from me:

* First of all, is it possible to make a "sellback" ratio for this plugin? For example user puts Gold ingot there and gets ex 50 logs. Then currently in theory if you allow it, he can just go harvest 50 logs and put them in the box and convert them to 1 gold ingot. My thought that if you try to convert something after your first push of button / insert anything that the box did not convert to a lesser ratio than the gold->log conversion rate. So you would need to put 100 logs there to get 1 gold back instead of 50? (currently I have disabled conversion back to gold_ingots due to the 1:1 ratio of everything)

* Second suggestion, would it be possible to have separate box'es with seperate options on what they sell? Maybe a way to identify which conversion box does what on the sign, "Philosophers box1"-sign -> config1," Philosophers box2"- sign -> config2. This you could have different uses for differente stores, lets say a fletchers shop only have the option on the sign to sell feathers, arrows, sticks - while the next config in the provisioner uses more mundane setup like cows milk etc
-Atleast this is how I use it now, a store on the server and it works very great, but more functionality so people has to visit different stores to get different items would be +++ (I also have a NPC mode that happily stands close to the box inside the shop and explains the functionality of the box to my server users!)

* Bug report? I tried to make my users be able to buy a "rare" burning furnace for 4 gold (128x4 value), but it only converts to normal furnace apparently

Once again, thank you for a veeery nice plugin with unlimited uses for a server admin!

edit: maybe 2 different boxes for buy & sell, one who only accepts items that has the value convertto: false (diamonds,gold in my case), so once it is converted you cannot convert it to next item. And one box who works the opposite way with a different ratio then, so you can put the "2 x logs" there to get the gold,diamond or whatever item you have assigned as "currency" by convertto: false, or other sort of restrictor ID in config file.

Damn I would love to try to make plugins myself, if I only knew how to program!

 

Im getting this error im running on CB670 Is there any way i can fix this

I saw it asked above, but i'll ask again

Is is possible (or going to be possible), to have different conversion types defined for boxes? I would like to have one box that converts gravel-> flint, and another box that will convert materials to armor.. but i dont want people to be able to make armor out of flint or gravel... Until thats possible, i dont think this would be of much use on our servers

Thanks

 

This seems to be consistent using CB670. Although as noted in the header, right now (as of this writing) Philosopher's Box is tested against CB617, so errors such as these are to be expected, at least until the next plugin update.
With the rate at which CraftBukkit is updated, it would be ridiculous to expect all the plugin developers to keep up in any short amount of time. Who knows what they broke across versions?

Nohup! Great plugin, looking forward to the next update!

 

Hi Nohup
Hope you update for 733.

 

Hopefully will be done tonight.

v 1.7 out

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

 

Download is still for 1.6

thanks for all the work on this, keep up the good work!

 

hmm, uploaded another new one, should be 1.7

 

Still doesn't work for me I get this error when i attempt to convert my gravel to flint:

this is what i get when i try to convert stone to gold.

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

 

I updated one more to take care of the NPE, but as far as the plugin.yml when I open the jar it says 1.7. May want to clear out old versions and/or your browser cache. Oh, and make sure you are downloading from the main link, not the test one from before when i made a patch fix...

 

k, cleared it from the system will update on server here in a few, just got DropBonus working

This is the errors i am getting now, its reading 1.7 now, and it only gives the errors when trying to convert.

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

 

bah, that one is fixed now too. searched for any other place where i was using similar code and didnt find one so hopefully that takes care of it. Sorry, trying to multi-task quick fixes with this and work all at the same time, and get it done before I have to travel for the next few weeks...

 

got a new error now

Hope you can give me a Hint what i do wrong or how to fix it

 

Hmm, that doesn't sound good, and unfortunately I don't think it is anything you did. When you do a conversion it launches a thread that does the conversion itself via Minecraft's scheduler. Did you try and do a lot of things alot of different times really fast or anything? Or were multiple people trying to use the same box at once? I wouldn't think so but gotta ask... Basically there is a thread collision going on but I can't think of a realistic way to make the box do it unless something is wrong within the MC scheduler.

 

I will try to reproduce the bug.
Maybe its because i made a really big configlist with every block and half of them is obtainable. (No Items)
I am cycling through the list with the mousewheel. Maybe this could be to fast and cause the failure.

The major problem is that the server stop working completly, and i have to restart.
Else i wouldn't mention it.
