LoreTime - An RP date plugin:
Version: v1.3.0

LoreTime is a date plugin geared towards RP servers. When a player issues the /loretime command, they are given the current in-game date which can be customized to fit the server's theme. Admins can adjust the date in-game as well as save/reload the config. The plugin updates the date at midnight in-game time (18000).

With our standard calendar:

With Oblivion's Calendar:


Note: Days in a month must be divisible by the days in a week, a limitation I hope to remove in the future. You may notice that the 31 of July this year is actually Sunday, this is because of the aforementioned limitation.

Features:
* custom month/day names
* in-game time
* custom formatting
* user specified days in a week/months in a year
* permission support (Optional)

Oops, fixed! =]

 

Maybe add shortcut (ex /lt...) and time in server

 

Ah, good idea. I will patch it sometime today.

[EDIT] Updated! =]

 

Great plugin!

 

I originally made this for Lord of the Craft but it seems you guys beat me to it with the update today. =[

Never mind! You are using my plugin, thank you for the comment. =]

 

Version 1.2.0 has been released.

New features have been added and a major memory leak has been fixed.

 

Sorry for the delay in submission approvals, I've been away for a while.

I love bethesda RPGs, very nice plugin

 

This is a really cool plugin.

 

i like it a lot cant wait for the update for formatting date options i hope that this means we get to chose if we display the month or year at all.

I'm looking for something that gose only by week days monday tuesday type of thing also I'm looking for something that will display the in game time 12hr time or 24hr time but that would be my wish list also a easyer command for viewing game time /worldtime or /wt

 

In-game time might be a little difficult as it's possible for it to cause major performance drops. I'll look into ways of simply converting MC time. I should have an update out this week, if not sometime today.

 

Being able to change the messages would be nice.

Oh and being able to make it more likely to rain during one season.
And IK this is like season the plugin but it doesnt have a calender. Like this.

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

 

What messages? The only one that really matters is the date string which will be customize-able after the next update.

Weather control feels a little out of the scope of this plugin, but I'll take a look. My plugin is open source, so someone else could always implement it need be.

 

Update coming soon?

 

Updated!

Version 1.3.0

• added time display
• added custom string format

Didn't get to weather or holidays/events. I will look into it in the future, but now I must get started on my Ludum Dare entry. Please let me know if there are any bugs or confusion with the new features added.

D: I got that when i tried to load it.

 

What is your interval set to? You are running v1.3.0 correct?

 

Interval? Where would i find that? >.<" And yes i am running 1.3.0

 

I got the update the other day work fine and like the date format and time options its just how I wanted it.

Only few issues with change over but that not your problem my own really I uploaded it first then shut down the server witch saved over the newly upload config with the old one guess it need to save the current date to the config file on server shut down that reset it back to the old config

The other thing i think is the file name should be just loretime.jar with out the version info so don't have to look for the old one and remove it from the plugin folder it will just replace it may prevent problems in the future updates you do and also add a command to see the version.

things i think you should do in time is make it more a time and event management that allows you to set week days or months in game time to have game events that works with other plugins like iConomy worldguard

Things you could do is add tax system for taxing players every month or year in game for them players that make lots of money make them pay a set amount of tax,

A wealfare system that pays the poor for being to poor say once a month and have a cut off point if they made too much.

other ides was player in game birthdays so players when the player joins the server for the first time will record it and when its the same time next year in game time will give them a item or cash reward with iconomy also puts a message into the server for everyone to see

another ider I had was land tax so if you have world guard plugin you could make players pay land tax on their land for (x) number of days or months if thay own a region or more then one

maybe also allow admin to set events to give them set permissions nodes so you can give them access to superpick or something like that on a week day or once a month in game time.

also a in game lotto that will call out each week or month in game as well as jackpot each time a user dose not win also a lotto system that the user has to select a number between 1 and x value

I have lots more but them are some of the big things I want in my server one day i hope this may help give you some more ides yourself.

 

In the config.

 

Wow that is a mighty list of very good suggestions. I hadn't intended the plugin to be so feature rich, but that does sound interesting. It also hadn't crossed my mind about the file names, I'm going to start throwing them in ZIP files and taging the zip files with the version number. I'll try to implement what I can when I get a chance to sit down for a length period of time. Thanks for the suggestions!

Were you able to get the plugin working?

 

XD I like it. the suggestions that is.

 

I'm going to fork this and add support for other plugins and perhaps make an Register based Paycheck plugin with it after I do that.

 

Awesome! I will be looking forward to what you do with it. =]

I will still continue to support/update the main branch.

 

Almost done, just testing it with a payment plugin!

 

Works for me on 1060.

 

Only problem I have with this is that Minecraft days are actually 20 minutes long and not 24, so the hours get a little mixed up. It was 12:00pm when the sun was coming up, when before it was in the am's when the sun was rising.

 

Done, check your pull requests. @SHiLLySiT

 

@ashtheking Sorry about the delay; didn't get an email and I've been busy the past week. I'm also new on GitHub. ;]

@T4L_Goose I'll have to look into that.
