Hey there guys, today I'm asking anyone that wants to make my idea become a plugin for bukkit. I have been on many servers, and I also have my own. I like the PvP gameplay in servers. To make my server much better, I'm after a java coder to create a plugin for me to use on my server. I have not seen any other plugin available that is what I'm after except firelord, but that only has the fire feature. The features that I would like to see in the plugin, would be configurable options to assign certain weapons/tools and armor awesome effects/abilities. The abilities/effects would activate when you hit your opponent (player/mob) with the tool. The plugin should be compatible with permissions 3.1.6, and the latest build for bukkit. Yes, I know that some features are provided now in the default 1.0.0 weapon enchanting, but they are far to hard to obtain, and therefore not enough use of it. This plugin would encourage more pvp with the enhancement of the configurable weapons/armor. Some abilities that I'm looking to be in this plugin for tools would be: - burn (when tool hits opponent, they burn on fire for a fixed amount of time) - smite (when tool hits opponent, they get smited by lightning and take damage) - knock back (when tool hits opponent, they get pushed back a couple of blocks) - heal (when tool hits opponent, they are healed) - shoot (when tool hits opponent, they get shot up into the air a few blocks) - stun (when tool hits opponent, they get frozen for a fixed amount of time) The abilities for tools (above) should all be configurable in the configuration file. An example of some configuration should look like: TEMPLATE: Effect: Ability: Ability-name Seconds: amount-number Item: - itemID - itemID EXAMPLE: Effect: Ability: Burn Seconds: 5 Item: - 276 Effect: Ability: Stun Seconds: 2 Item: - 277 - 279 The configuration would include all abilities. In the example, I have only included two abilities. Ok, now for the armor abilities/effects. Some abilities I would like to see armor configurable are: - fire resistance (take no fire damage) - stun resistance (un-stunable + don't get hungry) - sneak run (auto crouch + run faster while still being able to sprint and walk) - auto repair (after fixed amount of time, armor repairs itself) For the armor abilities to take effect, all pieces of that armor set must be worn. I don't really know how the configuration layout for the armor would be, but here is just a guess. EXAMPLE: Effect: Ability: fire-resist: Armor-set itemIDs: - itemid - itemid - itemid - itemid I wish everyone luck if they do attempt making this plugin. I think it would be a great plugin not only for me, but for other pvp servers out there to use. If you are going to make this plugin, you may name it whatever you like but it must have these features in it, and maybe more depending if you think of some, or if the bukkit community comments and posts some good ideas for it. Keep this post up to date on all things that are going on with the plugin. Thanks - twebby95.
I think this plugin will be much easier to develop now, because some of the abilities come in the potions. So whoever wants to take on this project, i suggest using the built in potion abilities but redirect them to the tools/armor ?
Wait.. What? Enchantments do not last. They go away upon logout & server restarts. Also vanilla mc doesnt include all the features i want, therefore a plugin is needed EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Enchantments getting removed from items is just a Bukkit bug. It'll get fixed before a RB for 1.0.0 comes out.
You guys are missing the point. Enchantments are very hard to obtain becauseyou need to kill a lot of mobs etc. This plugin will encourage more use of weapons with abilities, because players have more access to them and dont need exp levels. I want players going around using the effects so thats why i need this plugin. Read over all the effects i have written.
So, enchantment-by-config, basically. I know this isnt exactly what you mean, but its a close substitute, even if while waiting. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fun-tim-the-enchanter-v1-2-enchant-your-items-1467.46310/
Ive used that before, and i also saw some enchant packa punch plugin, but the tim enchanter plugin is mainly just for admins.. And it gives all enchantments instead of just one.
