MachiDrop Developer Needed :)

​

SO! Right to the point. I don't really have the time to be developing plugins and I have one plugin that I'd like to see updated and managed

So what I was wondering is if someone would want to take over the development of MachiDrop. Simply what would happen is it would still be under mine and your name (as "Manager, Author") you would update it and add features as you wanted as long as it stays with the base idea. I would manage the images and video content and give ideas/input.

If you're interested just reply. You should have at least a few decent plugins under your belt.

What's the point of casting to Player on line 41 of MachiDrop?
Also, you aren't casting safely.

 

gomeow you should note the method name since decompilers don't follow the same standards. For instance, MachiDrop.onCommand() starts on line 47 for me.

But for reference:

Code:

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String args[]) {
        Player p = (Player)sender;
        if (p.hasPermission("machidrop.command.info") && cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("machidrop")) {
            if (sender instanceof Player) {
                p.sendMessage((new StringBuilder("MachiDrop Version ")).append(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN).append("1.3").append(ChatColor.WHITE).append(". Created by MachiDev.").toString());
                return true;
            }
            p.sendMessage((new StringBuilder()).append(ChatColor.RED).append("No permission for the command.").toString());
        }
        return false;
    }

BrandonHopkins What he is saying is that right away you're casting sender into a Player object without first making sure that it is actually a Player object. A CommandSender object doesn't have to be a Player and can be the console or even a remote connection.

 

skore87
Obviously you're using the wrong decompiler

 

@skore87 @gomeow I'm not the best developer. There is a reason I'm asking for someone to take for

 

Is this plugin still necessary, since normal tools can do the same with the "silktouch" enchantment?

 

I have a similar plugin from a while back that I haven't updated. Basically mine was for the purpose of gathering materials that weren't normally retrievable like glass. There are still many things that the enchantment you're mentioning wouldn't be capable of retrieving.

 

Nevermind then


*curls in ball and cry*

 

*laughs*

 

BrandonHopkins Ill like to help, I currently have 2 plugins... and working on one more

ClearLocks: Rewiriting and releasing new version soon
Player lookup: Needs rewiriting.

 

breezeyboy
I almost died when I saw PlayerLookup, I rewrote it for you

 

Lol, I think you need more to do

 

devilquak
What'd I miss?
I could convert it to maven, but I don't think he'd be able to compile it

 

breezeyboy
Why don't you indent?

 

uhn?

Yep, Wouldn't beable to compile it.

Where? Github?

 

breezeyboy
Yeah

 

gomeow When I rewrite it do you want to help with the plugin on the like DBO page and stuff?

 

Cool plugin and you've laid out the project page well. Have you seen OtherDrops though? Can do this and with full customisation of any block/tool/drops + messages/chance values/etc. - eg:

PHP:

  GRASS:
    - tool: shears
      drop: grass
 
  ICE:
    - tool: ANY_HOE
      drop: ice
 
  GLOWSTONE:
    - tool: iron_pickaxe
      drop: glowstone
 
  SNOW_BLOCK:
    - tool: any_shovel
      drop: snow_block
 
  ANY_GLASS:
    - tool: gold_sword
      drop: THIS
 
  BEDROCK:
    - action: leftclick
      tool: gold_pickaxe
      drop: bedrock


 

Let me rephrase:

My plugin is better than yours, and does all of what your trying to do. Stop wasting your time and download my plugin that is much better.

Download it: <link>

Here is how to do this:

stuntguy3000 - not quite I was in a rush so didn't really write as much as I wanted:

"Your plugin is cool however seems to be headed in the same direction as mine. I saw that you're considering custom drops sometime in the future. Here's an example of one way it could be/has been done. Both projects are GPL v3 so feel free to use part of my code under the licence if you feel it's useful."

Yes, there was a bit of "don't reinvent the wheel" in my post and I'd love to see efforts merged rather than duplicated but I also understand that everyone does things differently

BrandonHopkins - I wouldn't mind having a look/improving it somewhat as I do see a place for simpler/easier to approach plugins. As a GPL project though I found it odd I couldn't find the source code though - have you got a repository somewhere?

 

Zarius Just use a decompiler...
