[INACTIVE][MECH] NoEscape 1.0 - Anti-teleport and prisoner/jail system for Towny [1000]

Plugin: NoEscape
Version: 1.0

Made this before the Towny source was released and have been having a lot of fun with it on my server and I figured I'd release it. If you run the Towny plugin this addon will add a few features.

Firstly, it disables all teleporting in unfriendly towns, no more hit and run tactics.

Second, when a player is killed in an unfriendly town, he will be sent to their prison.

Third, when a defending player is killed in his own town, he is "kidnapped" and sent to his killer's jail.

Fourth, a jailed teammate can be rescued if a friendly player is withing 5 blocks of them. The jailed player needs to type /escape and will be teleported to the rescuer.

Demo:
Server-Address: opencraft.tk

Commands:
/townjail - a mayor can issue this to set their town jail
/escape - attempt to teleport to a teammate within 5 blocks.

Features:

• Disables teleport in foriegn towns.
• Killed players are captured as prisoners of war, both offense and defense.
• Prisoned players can be rescued by nearby teammates.

Changelog:

• Initial Release

 

Fixed the bug.

 

Would it be possible for this only to be active when war is active in towny?

I dont think I would like all the whining if this was a normal occurance.

 

I don't even use the "war" system. I don't like it, I'd rather towns decide when they attack, etc. I could disable it during non-wartime but it's not really that high on the todo list.

 

Then I am curious, how much of an issue has it been for your players and moderators to police?

 

Not much, people generally come to an agreement where the town pays for a release. A lot of times the people just release them for free.

 

I run towny on a survival map and a pvp nether map and want just the nether map to have this jail function to avoid issues.

Is there a way you could add permissions? This looks like an awesome way to foster team work and realistic fighting.

 

Yeah it prevents endless raids with no consequence. What are you looking for with permissions? Allow people to teleport?

 

I'm looking to allow people to teleport as well as disallowing people from capturing others in their towns on the survival map but then using this plugin in the nether map.

So just having some way to disable this plugins effects on the survival map and enabling it on the nether map would be nice.

Also, does "unfriendly towns" mean any town other than your own? How is that decided?

 

Unfriendly is any other town that is not in your nation. So any town where you can hurt their players.

Hmmm so you're not asking for multiworld support, you just want to give permissions to players on the Survival map to be exempt from being jailed. I can do that, not for a few days though but it won't be too hard.

 

got an error loading it. did i miss something in the setup?

Code:

[SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\NoEscape.jar' in folder 'plugins':
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
    

need more?

 

Had it ever worked? The way I have it hook into Towny is pretty ghetto, not sure if it will always work.

 

Figured permissions was the easiest way to have multiworld support

Thanks and looking forward to it

 

this would be perfect for our server.....unfortunately it doesn't work.... Just get the old Unknown command error.

 

Hmm it's possible I uploaded the wrong thing, try again.

 

That error was from my initial install.

 

Wow - good job!

I think to kidnap someone you should have to kill them, and have like 20 string in your inventory (which is auto used) that would be so cool!!

Thanks!

 

Excellent idea. I was trying to think of a way to do this.

 

Re downloaded, still not working, I am using the newest towny version for cb860 and it just says unknown command.
do I need to restart towny plugin or something?

 

Do other features like disabling teleport in foreign towns work? If not try re-downloading again, I made sure 100% that I'm exporting the correct thing.

 

Trying this in my server and it just doesn't seem to make sense. IMO:

1. You should only jail someone if they die on your land.
2. You should have a chance to escape every set interval of time (Or some escape method other then manually)
3. Town owners should have an unjail command
4. Something needs to be done about the way it manages jailed players. I just had someone die in their own town and get teleported back to the jail they were in about ten minutes prior. What actually constitutes being unjailed? Walking out doesn't seem like it's working.
5. Perhaps an optional global jail that can be set to override the town jail options. Sort of a federal prison.
6. Speaking of federal prison, a town that is a member of a nation should send all their prisoners to a "national" jail.

Awesome plugin/idea though. I dig the idea of an automatic jail system.

 

Would like more information? This is the problem that I stated earlier, and this is after a few restarts,.

@fatmarley
I think I know why this is happening. I tried to cheat and take the easy way out when I hooked into Towny and it's not working. I'll spend some time fixing this.

@Zalastri
When someone is "jailed" nothing happens except getting teleported to the jail. The plugin only fires when someone dies, sees who killed then and/or where they died, and sets their respawn point. Our jails all have iron doors that lead out the town so they can teleport back home. If people were jailed, and then die in their own town due to mobs or falling damage it SHOULD spawn them at their town spawn, since they died on their own land. I'll double check.

This is sort of really specific to my server and the way we play so I knew it wouldn't be something everyone liked. You have good ideas but I'm not really up to developing this plugin further, maybe throw them onto the plugin requests board.

EDIT:
@Zalastri
I just double checked, I died in every possible way in my own town after being jailed. I don't end up back in the jail.

 

i just get the message
could not load 'plugins\noEscape.jar' in folder plugins
is it just me being a idiot and doing somthing wrong ?
or is it somthing else
//Ghostetr

 

To everyone having problems I applied a quick fix, let me know if it works.

 

Does this "need" towny - Or is there a chance you can create a similar plugin to anti-/home and anti-/spawn and anti-/killme etc.

 

That would make this a completely different plugin. Why don't you do it yourself with your fancy plugin developer title

 

sry but it dont work. dont work for me atleast
but ty for trying to fix it so soon

 

Download it one more time and if it errors, give me as much of it as you can.

 

okay will do give me 2 min
