Suggested name: RandomMobNames What I want: A plugin that give all spawn mob a random name. Name is pick from a mobname flatfile and given randomly to spawn mob. Edit: No mcmmo needed afterall. config.yml, where color of name can be set or simply white color. mobnames, flatfile, where names are stored. Requirements: Build against 1.7.10 No commands or permissions needed. When I like it by: When you have time to code this! Thanks, madtomic
Mcmmo replaces the entity name with the hearts when it does so, so nothing we do will stop that unless we specifically want to
@madtomic Yep, should be a pretty easy plugin to do too. I would have done it for you already, but I don't build against 1.7.10, sorry Someone give it a go though, it won't be difficult
Eh, if no-one else has by tomorrow, I'll put it together for you for 1.8 then. Post here in like 16 hours or something to remind me, i'll almost certainly forget lol
@madtomic Download | Source Default config: Code: SNOWMAN: names: - 'CustomName' - '&4AnotherName' VILLAGER: inherit: SNOWMAN names: - 'CustomVillagerName' You can add "inherit: mobname" to copy the names from another mob, so you don't have to do this: Code: SNOWMAN: names: - 'CustomName' - '&4AnotherName' VILLAGER: names: - 'CustomName' - '&4AnotherName' - 'CustomVillagerName' I load all the mob names from the file to memory when the plugin loads. I could do this when a mob spawns and the names have not been loaded for that mob yet, but I don't want it possibly lagging your server. Here are all the supported mob types, compiled in 1.7.10: Code: BAT, BLAZE, CAVE_SPIDER, CHICKEN, COW, CREEPER, ENDER_DRAGON, ENDERMAN, GHAST, GIANT, IRON_GOLEM, HORSE, MAGMA_CUBE, MUSHROOM_COW, OCELOT, PIG, PIG_ZOMBIE, SHEEP, SILVERFISH, SKELETON, SLIME, SNOWMAN, SPIDER, SQUID, VILLAGER, WITCH, WITHER, WOLF, ZOMBIE These are the names you will be using in the config file. If I missed a mob, feel free to tell me and I'll add it in. I tested the plugin on a 1.7.9 server with a few different mobs. It should work fine on 1.7.10 too.
@Assist My config.yml http://pastebin.com/4WEbCrnv Errors on load up http://pastebin.com/p58GMhcy Edit: I found my mistake. forgot names: under skeleton. Edit: I also did a fresh start. no Pig are spawn with names? I guess the world generated entity don't get names?
Hmm. Does it work for other mobs? I tried pigs and a few other mobs like snowmen, villagers and creepers and they all worked fine. Can you show your startup log? It should tell you how many custom names it loaded for each mob. Perhaps I messed up somewhere and it's not loading them edit: I have no idea how I managed to get that "Lol" in my post and I can't seem to delete it edit 2: Mobile site keeps messing up my posts. Fixed now
@Assist Lol. No error on start up. It seems to be working fine except on assigning names when server is generate the world for the first time. If I breed the pigs the baby pig got a name. I would assume all passive will get a name only if breed. Request: Is there a way to toggle showmobname only if player are within certain distant? Lets said like within 20 blocks?
@madtomic I'll look into that tomorrow. I was actually unable to get any natural spawns in my test world (most likely because of another plugin of mine) so I had to spawn the mobs using Essentials, every mob I spawned had a custom name. And I wasn't talking about an error, the plugin should tell you how many names were loaded for each mob. For example, if you have 2 names set for a PIG, then you should see "Loaded 2 names for mob: PIG" in the console on startup. As for your request; I'll do that right after fixing everything that doesn't work for some reason!
@Assist Ok. Here is the start up log. I think names are only assign when summon/breed/use spawn_egg/night_spawn. [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Enabling RandomMobNames v1.0.0 [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 5 custom names for mob: PIG [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 3 custom names for mob: SKELETON [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 2 custom names for mob: SNOWMAN [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 3 custom names for mob: SPIDER [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 3 custom names for mob: VILLAGER [12:27:45 INFO]: [RandomMobNames] Loaded 3 custom names for mob: ZOMBIE *Also no pig/villager was assigned names.
