Included Modules
* Fix undroppables: fix drops for stairs, glass (don't use your hands - ouch), boats & bookshelves (1.8 stairs included)
* Gold tools (basic): gold tools have a chance of dropping the complete block for grass, ice & glowstone.
* Gold tools (smelt): gold tools have a chance of mining an ingot directly from ores.
* Ore Extraction: using the usual tools, ingots are ripped out of ores, leaving the stone behind.
* Leaf overhaul: adds leaf drops (apples, cocoa, leaves, sticks & a very small chance of golden apple).
* Undead Chaos: beware the night! Zombies & skeletons rise again and even players rise back from the dead (player deaths spawn more zombies/skeletons).
* and more...

Dropgroups can also be handy - eg:

Code:

  SPIDER:
    - dropgroup: night
      time: NIGHT
      drops:
        - drop: STRING/10%
        - drop: WEB/10%

    - dropgroup:day
      time:DAY
      drops:
        - drop: AIR
        # add any more day drops if you wanted, etc....

It may be more misspelling or something, any advice?

Edit; Looks like diamond is actually an ore, i'll fix that. Never mind then

Fixed it, PICKAXE not just PICK and changing the order for some reason. Cool plugin though, this should add some fun to my server

 

The looks like an error with ModDamage, not OtherDrops.

 

Lol I was going to post.. wrong plugin post buddy lol

 

any progress on fixing the arrow problem? also I just wanted to say thank you for spending your time on this project good job

I have an interesting problem. My config is setup like this

Code:

CREATURE_ZOMBIE:
        - drop: MONEY
          quantity: 2-10
          message: You got %q dollars off that Zombie!

But when I kill the zombie, instead of getting "3 dollars" or "4 dollars" I get "5.215645578945 dollars" or some crazy decimal like that. How can I make the numbers round to a decimal place?

 

@Shadowsquire – I recently pushed a change that makes this an option in the main config (the one where you set verbosity and such), so hopefully Zarius will pull and build that version soon. It will allow you to specify how many decimal places you want to round to.

 

Is there any way to make it so when a boat crashes it still drops a boat?

 

Went afk for a bit and came back to a wall of text of the following

14:14:59 [WARNING] [OtherDrops:2.0-beta6] Error: unknown entity target (CraftFal

I made that error message more useful in a recent commit; it won't show you what the tool was, but it'll at least show you the block it was in.

That said, uh... actually I don't see any wrong tools in your config. Huh.

Not sure. Might be possible, might not. I can look into it at some point.

 

when is it best to use ANY and when to use ALL? all means like if a mob drops off a cliff, and any means any tool? hmm...

 

All and any are the same

Will that work with 0 decimal places (integers)?

Was there more to that error?

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

 

It should, yes. Might even work with negatives (eg -1 to round to the nearest 10).

 

That would be great. Thanks! It still works fine the way it is, just it looks hilarious when it pops up in chat

 

This plugin works with the old Permissions 3 (Yeti) AND
The new PermissionsBukkit, or?(http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...2k-official-default-groups-plugin-1185.26785/)

So I addet in the Otherdrops Config:
COAL_ORE:
- tool: ALL
drop: NOTHING
permissions: coal

Then I added the Node in permission3 oder the newer one.... (otherblocks.custom.coal)
So everyone who have the node otherblocks.custom.coal doesnt get coal, right?
BUT:
It doesnt work. The node havent any effect....

Other things I tryed:

COAL_ORE:
- tool: ALL
drop: NOTHING
permission: coal
OR:
COAL_ORE:
- tool: ALL
drop: NOTHING
permissions: otherblocks.custom.coal

I also tryed the permission Plugins: PermissionsEx and bpermissions.
In the console there is always: [INFO] [OtherDrops:2.0-beta6] Using Bukkit superperms.
But I dont think that it hooked into it. Because this is also showing if I havent installed Permissions.
And when I've turned Yeti mode on. There is no information.
Now can somebody show me a part of his Permissions Cofig and which version you use and the otherdrops configs?
I dont know what is false. A few weeks before or with the version 1.x all works perfekt.

Sry for my bad english...
Please can someone help me??

Im trying to make it so that, for example with the chicken-
Theres a 30% chance for a feather
or 25% chance for raw chicken
or 45% chance of nothing droping. Please help.
Thanks

 

Two things you can do.

1. Use the "exclusive" parameter. If you add "exclusive: true" to each of the drops, only one of them can occur.
2. Use the exclusive drop syntax with embedded percentages.

An example of method 1:

Code:

  CHICKEN:
  - drop: FEATHER
    chance: 30%
    exclusive: true
  - drop RAW_CHICKEN
    chance: 25%
    exclusive: true
  - drop: NOTHING
    # don't include the chance, because if the roll fails the default would drop
    # NOTHING doesn't mean that nothing drops, only that this element of the list isn't defining something to drop
    exclusive: true

And an example of method 2:

Code:

  CHICKEN:
  - drop: {FEATHER/30%, RAW_CHICKEN/25%}
  # Don't need the air drop

Note that each chance is rolled separately, so the second example means that first it rolls to see if a feather drops (with a 30% chance). If the roll succeeds, the feather drops and it ends there. If the roll fails, it rolls to see if raw chicken drops (with a 25% chance) and possibly drops the raw chicken. I haven't done the math, so I'm not sure if that's equivalent to the single-roll scenario that you seem to be expecting.

 

I use this plugin with Mo's Creatures SMP Mod, and everything is working fine, but whenever I attack a monster from the mod, I get this error.

I know you probobly haven't delt with this before, but is there anything I could do to make it stop saying that? I assume it's saying that because I'm hitting a mob not recorded in OtherBlock's database.

It's as you said, OtherDrops doesn't know about the custom mob. I'm afraid there's not really anything we can do about that at the moment, except silencing the error.

 

In fact does anyone have an example config i can have?
thanks

And an example of method 2:

Code:

  CHICKEN:
  - drop: {FEATHER/30%, RAW_CHICKEN/25%}
  # Don't need the air drop

Note that each chance is rolled separately, so the second example means that first it rolls to see if a feather drops (with a 30% chance). If the roll succeeds, the feather drops and it ends there. If the roll fails, it rolls to see if raw chicken drops (with a 25% chance) and possibly drops the raw chicken. I haven't done the math, so I'm not sure if that's equivalent to the single-roll scenario that you seem to be expecting.[/quote]

I tried this and it hasnt worked, is there any chance you can take a look.
CREATURE_COW: {LEATHER/25%, RAW_BEEF/10%}

CREATURE_PIG: {RAW_PORKCHOP/10%, COOKED_PORKCHOP/2%}

CREATURE_SHEEP: {WOOL/25%, DIRT/5%}

CREATURE_CHICKEN: {FEATHER/30%, RAW_CHICKEN/25%}
Basically i want the chicken to have a 45% chance to drop nothing, a 30% chance for a feather and 25% for a raw chicken. THanks

I havent edited any config. Do i need to? iv only edited the drops file

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

 

@Undectectable – Mind editing your post so that my quote is actually in a quote box?

Anyway, let me explain what I believe you want and why OtherDrops cannot do it (at least at the moment). As I understand it, you want chicken to drop one of three things: feather, raw chicken, or nothing. This is possible with OtherDrops; however, you also want to control the distribution of those things. In essence, you want us to generate a number from 1 to 100, and make the chicken drop a feather if it's less than or equal to 30, or raw chicken if it's greater than 75. In other words, we roll the dice once, and the outcome determines what drops; a single roll governs a whole set of drops.

However, that's not what OtherDrops currently does when faced with something like {FEATHER/30%, RAW_CHICKEN/25%}. Instead, it first rolls to determine which drop to consider. In this case, there are two drops, so that's equivalent to flipping a coin. Then, it rolls a percentage to determine whether the drop actually occurs, so if it selected FEATHER it would then have a 30% chance of dropping it and a 70% chance of not dropping anything; if it selected RAW_CHICKEN it would have a 25% chance of dropping it and a 75% chance of dropping nothing. So, doing the math, you'll find that the overall chance of dropping a feather is actually 50% x 30% = 15%; the chance of dropping raw chicken is 50% x 25% = 12.5%, and the chance of dropping nothing is 50% x 70% + 50% x 75% = 35% + 37.5% = 72.5%.

(Someone correct me if you find I'm wrong; I haven't done probability calculations for awhile. Note that these are percentages, so it's really 0.5 x 0.25 and so forth; that's why 50% x 30% didn't give 1500%.)

I imagine that, knowing this, you could do the math and assign percentages so that the overall percentage turns out to be exactly what you want. Of course, that's easier said than done for many people. We might consider adding native support for distributions if we can think of a good way to notate it, but at present that's looking unlikely. Changing the {} notation to mean distribution is not an option since it would undermine its other use, which is to give a list of items and randomly choose one from the list.

 

ahhh great thanks for this. Thats really helpful

 

After some thought, I realized that there is a way to do it that falsifies this statement. That is, it can be made to work so that if you have percentages it's a distribution, and if you don't have percentages it behaves as the normal "select a random item from the list", without having two separate cases. Of course, having some with percentages and some without may cause unexpected behaviour, but why would anyone do that?

 

Was just thinking this and noticed you've posted it already I don't think we need to worry about mixed use, i'm still trying to think of a better way but nothing yet.

 

Any word on this push? Having currency drop up to 7 decimal places is something my players poke me about regularly.

 

If you're adventurous, you could clone my github OtherBlocks repository and build it yourself. If not, I believe we're planning to have a non-beta release this weekend.
