TODO:

• Add this plugin as a base to the WIP plugin WolfPack
• Add persistence for wolf names
• Add ability to rename wolves

• Keep this plugin up-to-date and working with the latest craftbukkit build

Changelog:

• Fixed on wolf death message to only the owner receives a message instead of broadcast

Version 1.0 - Codename: Snark

• Added Permissions support
• Had to remove wolf name persistence as entityID's chance on reboot

Version 1.0a - Codename: Skawk

• Initial release. Too buggy to release to public

 

It doesn't show their names... I'm using bukkit 662

 

there is one bug that you need to fix and its that the wolfs names go away in like 5 min or something its happend to me multible times plz fix

 

loading this plugin made all my wolves disappear

 

it loaded just fine but names arnt showing up :/
no errors to be seen

 

Great plug and great idea !

Nevertheless :

• One bug I've found : When the wolf seat down, commands "set" and "show" doesn't work, the wolf has to be standing up.

• One suggestion : It would be very cool to show up the wolve's names like the names of the players (and why not let the player choose the color ?)

Thanx and great work again !

 

It wont work for me at all no error, edited config...

 

So does the wolf have a name over it. Like a player does.

 

This question was answered at the bottom of the first page. Short answer, no. Not without a client-side mod.

 

considered inactive

 

Sorry everyone I've been busy with school. I've figured out a system to save names and reassign them to the wolves though it will be somewhat random until I finish my API system to control the names better.

 

Well this plugin has been inactive for too long will be updated for those who want the basic features back. On a side note, there is a new plugin is emerging that is better than the promised WolfPack. It is a collaboration between @halvors and myself with the majority of the credit going to @halvors. It will be released as soon as we finish it and fix the bugs and this plugin will be updated with the new code found in the new plugin that maintains persistent names. Sorry for soo much delay but keep your eyes peeled as it will be out soon

 

No, credit shouldn't go just to me

 

If the floaty-names can only be done with a client mod, how does it work on NPCs in all the MMORPG server mods?
I feel like there might be a way to do it, but IDK. I don't know too much Java, but I have C#, Obj-C, and C++ experience.

 

Wolves aren't players. NPCs are considered players

 

Doesn't NPC stand for Non-Player Character. Therefore a Wolf is an npc and a player is not.

 

I'm not talking about terminology. The workaround for what plugins use as human NPCs is having a plugin spawn a false player at a location.
