Inactive [MECH/RPG] AdvancementStandalone v1.0.5 - Skills, Stats, and Abilties [1000]

I was at a system with both, actually, the cooldowns would be small just to stop spamming, just like a few seconds, and mana would go up with magic level.

Haha, thanks a lot man, I'm definitely looking to expand archery more, so hopefully we can figure something out that suits you even more! Keep the comments and suggestions rollin'!

The glyph idea would be cool, but it wouldn't be something I could do. It would require a new item (the glyph) which can't be done without client-side mods. That was definitely how I was thinking about the magic disciplines, things like... Restoration (heal, restore fatigue, and the like), Destruction (Fireball, Force, Freeze, Wall of Fire, etc.), Enchanting (Fly, Waterbreathing, other stuff that provides special attributes), and Conjuration (Creatures).

The only thing keeping me from doing that would be the fact that leveling up four separate skills takes much longer than one integrated skill. But if we have too many spells, we may have to do it this way.

For that to work there should be 5 or more spell in each tree.

Glyph idea is too complicated I think. Simple /magic <magicname> could set the spell to the item ( stick, torch, redstonetorch ) and have a cost in somekindof material ( book, redstone whatever you want ( configurable ) )

The leveling idea is noce, tough I think that would be hard to make, easyer if there are some noncombat spells to level it.

You could trade material used for spells this way, so no need to implement economy ( I realy hate that plugin, doesnt fit in my server ( we use gold ingot as money, and got shops, paydoors ect )

What about 3 trees? offense, heal and constructive
But then we get to the problem of leveling offense spells. ( also, no matter how high lvl someone is, lightning will need a big CD or high mana cost ) I love the idea of mana, tough I dont know how ppl will see it :S unless chat spamm...

I try to make a full list of spells what comes to my mind

The mana would be akin to other stats like Health, Hunger and Fatigue. You would use the /stat command, perhaps it will send a message upon crossing certain thresholds... like once you pass 75% it would tell you, etc.

 

Spell list:
Fireball - gast fireball
Freeze - freezes in x range ( change ground to ice not just place snow on it, this way it is more fun )
Force - simple pushback on target
Fly - fly with a duration ( maybe fly with water at the feet of the user! ( isnt so hard on the server I think ) )
Waterbreathing - nothing to tell, just needs a duration
Mark/Recall - not realy needed since if you use any popular plugin you will have a function like this, but can be added anyway
Heal - well... I realy dont like this XD we got food for a reason
Heal (Other) - could heal 4 hearts
Blink - teleports 10 blocks away
Icewalk - turns water into ice in 3 block radius
Shield - protects from x dmg or from all dmg for x time
Wall of Fire - places a line of 5 burning netherrack before you! ( removes them after 10 sec )
Summon Beast - sumons a tamed wolf at your side
Call Lightning - lightning strikes where you cast

NEW:
Rise of the dead! - if you die in the next 30 sec, you will spawn a zombie where you died
Iron Maiden - places 4 cacti around the target for 5 sec
Ice wall! - makes a 2 block high 5 block wide Ice wall where you look
Force wave - pushes everyone around you away
Ring of fire - same ad fire wall only around you
Waterbreathing - gives waterbreathing for x time
Fire walk - set the blocks on fire after you left them ( only 4 at a time ) for x second

Some not so pvp focused spells:
Petrification - turn set block into stone
Regrowth - dirt to grass
Tree of life - spawns a small tree
Lumen - Turns block into glowstone
Superpick - 3x3 removes stone
Supershovel - 3x3 removes dirt/grass

Adding more summons would be hard... since you cant make them into a player pet in the game

27 spell in total, and I know not all will be added. It looks much, but I dont think it is...

That could be good. Still I wont use hunger, so let use pick in the config what we want and what we dont want

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

 

i would think the mana would tell u what urs is out of /total with /stat and tells u in chat after u complete a spell like : fireball used 25 mana.
: you have 225 mana remaining
and i would think mana should regen over time and maybe consuming food gives u a set amount.

your spells r interesting, i really like the iron madien one but i wouldnt add so many that create blocks like maybe a few like fire wall but not nessesarily ice wall, i could see many random ice structures on my server XD. Maybe for non pvp some conversion spells. like this would be good with cooldown, a spell that turns sand ->glass. or if its not 2 hard, like construct hut, and a lil cabin type home appears, good for survival. And just minor material conversions like that, maybe an ultimate spell, like super high level with an extremely long cooldown: turns 9 obsidian into 1 diamond. idk im more pvp for spells

UPDATE: Advancement v0.20 BETA

Changes:
* Expanded on configuration
* Stealth can be leveled up now
* New admin commands with permissions

This plugin is still considered BETA and should only be used at one's own risk. I cannot guarantee it will work well with everything. If you do use this mod however, please continue posting bug reports and requests in this thread!

Cheers,

fyi /archery setlevel Luckyshot46 5 doesnt work, well non of the setlevel or setexperience work and i have my permissions set on '*'

 

I'll check it out in a moment, I just posted that up really fast before I left, didn't even test it.

Probably not the best move.

 

oh its not a problem cuz i can just go into the user thing if i want 2 test higher lvls...just thought i would let ya know ^-
and speaking of i felt like making my archery level after getting it to 15 put it to 9001 (yes its over ninethousand). and i think critchance should stop around like 75% cuz it said critchance: 450% and u dont want 100% crit chance. maybe at some point it just increases crit dmg. Ill do more research on it cuz 9001 is kinda an impossible level to reach. im going 2 try 2 lvl hardcore and test stuff.

You said u made this for ur server, if it would be okay i would like to see your server build...maybe meet up, u could see how im developing my server if u want its not always up but if u message me ill put it up its 98.165.209.69:25565

Dangit just relized Advanced Archers is for bukkit 818 and doesnt work on my build ><

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

 

Sure, I'll send it in a message, message me back when you are going to log in so you won't be lonely.

As for the 9001th level, I was planning to put a hardcap at 100 because there is no reason to extend the skill bonuses past that.

 

ahh kk ^^ awww so no over ninethousand puns ..... im jk but ya 450% crit chance XD, kk ill send u a msg

 

After 100 you don't get any more bonuses ?

 

Nope. ¡No más!

 

All the pvp stuff which adds blocks, removes it after a set time, it wont stay there... try runecraft and you will know what I mean. The point should be that you can create materials with magic ( well you could do some like dirt into grass, or your idea that sand into glass, but definitly not obsidial into diamond, that would ruin working economys )

The idea, that you get a message after every cast could be a good idea to show mana.

If you are interested I can show off my server too well it isnt anything great its offline server and can only run 9 players. But I have lots of addons Which adds a lot of fun to the game

Does sneak hide your name?

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

 

thats why it would have like a 48 hour cool down or somtin idk, but only like for grand masters, but i was just rambling anyway XD, like i said im more into offensive spells like[FUN] ArrowWall 0.4 - Summon a wall of arrows to kill your enemies [740] would make a kick ass spell, and like u can use more arrows w/ more mana but i would think around like 10 arrows would be the default, idk im testing it out on my server atm. but its fun as hell 2 use. DIE CHICKENS

 

Sorry, im having trouble with finding the configuration file. Where might it be??

 

It will create one and a folder the first time you run it.

UPDATE: Advancement v0.22 BETA

Changes:
* Added fatigue, but it does nothing right now
* Stealth renamed Hunting
* Code cleanup
* Admin commands actually work

This plugin is still considered BETA and should only be used at one's own risk. I cannot guarantee it will work well with everything. If you do use this mod however, please continue posting bug reports and requests in this thread!

At about level 100 can you make it so your level resets? I'll test for bugs right now good sir!
Also MySQL support?

 

You mean start over at level 100?

This is my first project so I'll be sticking with flatfile for the time being. Once I've gotten this stuff down better, I'll start to research MySQL. I'd love to have that in this mod, but I just need to get this stuff down better first.

 

wait why would you want 2 start over at level 100?

Point Outs

• Repair Item: You are limited in what you can repair by level. You begin with only being able to repair wood/leather, but can progress up! So how do you repair? Ah /repair in game tell you. If you had that info on the actual forum post that would be helpful.
• Point out the fact that stealth is merged with hunting so everyone knows

Suggestions

• Configurable Exp To Level(Archery Takes Forever)
• Digging Skill
• Configurable Exp. (I would like stone,coal ect to give exp to)
• Ability To Get Melee Exp Even If you Have An Item In Your Hand. Example: dirt
• Get Exp For "Sneak Attacks" If You Already Do Get Exp For It [Hunting] - Sneak Attack! XP (amount)
• Message saying you got exp for woodcutting [Woodcutting] You have gained 5 XP. Something like that

Bug/Fix/Change/Exploit List

• -Bug [Hunting] - Sneak Attack! I walked up to a pig and hit it with my fist and it said that.
  - Sneak Attack: By attacking a creature (or player!) from behind, you will score some extra damage! Damage increases with level. - Yes I understand but do you have to be crouching to able to do a sneak attack? Shouldn't it be [Stealth] - Sneak Attack! ? I maybe very confused about this "Sneak" Skill so don't get me wrong Lol
• Bug-No EXP in herbalism for farming.
• Exploit- Moving your mouse around your screen gives lots of athletics exp.
• Bug- Sometimes you get EXP in athletics for doing absolutely nothing.
• Bug- No sound when getting hurt by hunger.

I test every feature thing item whatever about this plugin I tested several exploits to. No problems This mod seems very stable to me!

I was using CB 860 and Permissions 3.1.5
Thanks!

Start over at level 0 for that skill and maybe make it harder to level up
Okay I think I should explain more about this. Once you get to level 100 or whatever the level cap is you should have a choice to get set back to level 0 and then it is even harder to get back to level 100.


Ah yes thank you for considering MySQL support for this plugin in the future

@RugRats: About leveling, actually archery isnt that hard, try killing something at a decent distance, i can get like 600 exp if i do a good longshot.

@jtripled: i was just testing out mining and i have noticed that you do not get exp for coal. With the current exp system i would say coal should earn about 5-10 exp. and i was thinking about stone giving 1 exp, but im still thinking on that, i kind of like the fact that its just ores, even though im a quarrier.

@RugRats: i havnt tested stealth out yet but ill work on that next and see if i have the same issues.

 

Lucky. I know what I'm talking about. I tested this out FULLY and I got my results. Archery IS hard to level up. The chances of a long range SHOT are very slim due to the arrow limiter. Coal should earn a good 4-5 exp because it is very common. Stone I would say 0.5 EXP Lucky, why wouldn't you go with my judgement. I used the newest version of this CB860 and Permissons 3.1.5. Lol. Thats what you should be using and with that I got my result no errors just a slight bug or misunderstanding with stealth. I tested this fully. I tested exploits to. No problems occurred there are SO far no exploits with this plugin as I can see. I spent like 2-3 hours going through absolutely everything this plugin has to offer:/

 

:Luckyshot46: Im glad u asked cuz i finally tested sneak

jtripled- The Hunting skill works<<<Gratz man .

Okay so no you dont have to be crouched to get a sneak attack but its best to crouch. also, while crouched hostile mobs are less likely to attack you. so it (depending on ur level it will be more consistent/smaller) reduces the agro area around mobs

Tested by a long room and used /ms creeper....tested it over and over with walking in standing: immediatly attack me, and walking in crouched: could usually get across half the room b/f it attack, and i know the exp works cuz i lvl to lvl 2 while sneakin by the creeper.

im not criticizing you at all, i just pointed out what i have found, if there is a creeper on a hill 40 blocks away, i kill it i get 600 exp. thats just what happens for me, im not saying that it isnt hard 2 lvl, cuz it is, but not hard 2 the point where it needs 2 be nerfed, in my opinion, and about the stealth, thats in my other comment

addon: and im not going without your judgement, im testing the mod 2 and i was just stating my opinion on what i have found. and i do agree with most of what you said,

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

 

Ok

 

Alright...
Point Outs

• For the repair item -- I'll update that description. Sorry for the lack of clarity!
• I actually just merged stealth and hunting recently and haven't updated here. So I'll get right on that!

Suggestions

• I'll add customizable per-skill exp rates rather than exp to level. I'll do that next time I work on the code.
• Digging is a definite skill coming in next update.
• Can do on the melee regardless of item in hand. That'll be an easy fix. Still can't remember why I made the effort to limit the items you can gain it with...
• The woodcutting exp message was pretty spammy, I'll see if I can find a compromise though.

Bug/Fix/Change/Exploit List

• The Sneak Attack is given when standing in an orientation where you are behind the enemy. I forgot to check isSneaking() so thanks, I'll do that today as well!
• I'll be adding 5 exp/wheat in herbalism, does this sound good?
• Are you sure grass doesn't drop seeds? It still does for me. :/ I'll look into it. It could be some mod conflict.
• I'll be sure to make the movement check in athletics more robust to avoid that. I was aware of the problem, just didn't know if it could really be exploited much.

Thank you very much for the time! Good report, too, by the way. I do most of my work at night, so I should have an update up before morning!

Also, coal and stone do both give experience. Coal gives 10 and stone gives 1. I simply stopped them from giving messages, if you think it would be better, I can make coal give the message. I just thought they were a bit spammy.

 

Info

• Yes athletics gives you exp for standing in place and moving your mouse.
• A coal and woodcutting message would be nice.
• 5 EXP for wheat on herbalism is good.

Suggestions

• Natural sugarcane is hard to come by so if you could make it so you could place and let it grow to get exp that would be cool ;D.
• Natural cacti is hard to come by in some seeds so if you could make it so you could place and let it grow to get exp that would be cool
• Support for farms.
• Toggle able EXP Notifications
• Prestige Mode -Start over at level 0 for that skill and maybe make it harder to level up
  Okay I think I should explain more about this. Once you get to level 100 or whatever the level cap is you should have a choice to get set back to level 0 and then it is even harder to get back to level 100.
• A new sneak attack message [Hunting] - Sneak Attack! XP (amount)
• A message saying you decreased a level in hunger

Bugs

• If you hit the last cacti they all fall and you only get 15 exp and you should make this 45 just like if you were to individuality hit it.
• Same for sugar cane. Read Above.
• No hunger damage sounds

 

Actually if u hit enough tall grass u do get seeds, i have like 15 and ive just been walkin around ur server and hitting grass and flowers lvl 3 herbalism mannn XD

 

@jtripled

Okay so now I just tested PVP. This is what I got so far.

Bugs

• If someone kills you in PVP you both get EXP in the skill that, that person killed you with. This is a major exploit.

 

wats the highest level?
