Inactive [RPG/MISC] BetterLeveling v1.1 - Makes Player Levels Useful [1.4.5-R0.3]

BetterLeveling - Make Minecraft player levels useful
Version: v1.0
Author: monstuhs

Resurrected this plugin from the grave. I spent all my time tonight fixing maven dependencies issues so I only had time to compile and ever-so-gently smoke test this with 1.4.5. No clue where I was at with this when I left off so please let me know if you find any bugs.

BetterLeveling allows you to factor in vanilla Minecraft level to various activities. This uses the vanilla level mechanics so it doesn't rely on it's own built-in leveling system such as mcMMO

Features:

• Additional health regeneration per level
• Chance to crit on attack based on your level
• Chance to dodge when attacked based on your level
• Chance to double-drop ore's when mined based on your level
• Chance to instabreak certain blocks based on your level
• Can configure the amount of XP lost and dropped on player death
• Everything is configurable!

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Version 0.6 & 0.6.2
* Insta-break no longer works on blocks connected to things like levers, buttons, doors, etc.

* Configurable percentage of XP retained on death (default 0%)
* Configurable percentage of player XP dropped on death (default 100%)
* All player messages are configurable (which allows localization). You can set the messages in the configuration file (default messages are US English)
* The "/stats" command now shows the maximum values for crit and dodge chance
* Changed the "percentage per level" for crit and dodge to be double precision so you can use values like "0.42" or "4.20" or whatever your little heart desires

Version 0.1
* Initial Version

 

i change for example:
ChanceToCrit: Chance To Crit to ChanceToCrit: Crit%:
and it just reverts to
ChanceToCrit: Chance To Crit once i reload the server.

I was able to get the stats messages to work. is there a way to completely remove the CriticalHit & Dodge messages from displaying when they happen?

Glad to hear it, I just got home and was trying to reproduce the issue.

I will try to make it so that any empty messages won't display. Should have something up tonight shortly

Ok, just uploaded 0.6.2 which allows you to use empty string values for localized messages. If you use an empty string value (see below for example), the message will be suppressed altogether.

In this example, critical hits won't be displayed, but dodging and headshots will:

(Note that those are two single quotes for CriticalHit, not one double quote).

Config files are finicky, but I tested it out and it works locally. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

I have a suggestion for you:

Can you prevent placed blocks from being double dropped?

I like Double-drop, but the problem is that it is really exploitable. With even a modest 10% chance to double, someone can easily mine a block, place it, mine it again, and repeat to get unlimited free blocks. With Silk Touch enchantment this works on anything, even Diamond, Redstone, Lapis, etc. I don't want to have to prevent using the feature at all since I think it is cool, but for the moment I have to.

The best solution I can think of is to record where a certain type of block is placed, (Diamond, gold, etc. [it should be configurable]) and then make it immune to double-drop. This should allow it to work on all naturally occurring blocks but prevent duplication problems.

 

Suggestion: Can you make it where it requires a "item" to level up. So lets say I got a exp level of 30. I would also need lets say x amount of ender pearls to level up in the first place. Make the number it takes per level up configurable and the item it takes configurable. Thanks for reading.

 

Interesting point; didn't think about this. I'll give this some good thought and try to get a fix in for it for the next version!

So prevent the player from gaining levels (vanilla mc levels) unless they have a certain item on them? I can look into that.

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

 

Oh, two other things:

Can you set a maximum chance to double-drop / insta-break?

Also, can you add a way to change the values/reload the plugin from inside the game? (This may not be possible but I have to ask!)

 

Yeah ^^ Also an interesting idea is economy support for like exp loss. So if someone has x amount of money on them they lose that x amount of money instead of their exp (they gain the levels back when they spawn) But if they don't have that money then they lose a configurable amount of exp but they don't lose their money, just an idea

 

How about colorful messages preferably custom?

 

Two more for you! I'm on a roll tonight, (I suspect the alcohol)!

Is there a way to make it permission-based? Basically, if I want one group of people to have insta-break, but not double-drop, or one group to have nothing, and another to have everything?

Related to the above, can you add multiworld support? From testing it appears that it works for every world I have, and I would like to disable it (partially or totally) in some of them which are supposed to be harder/more dangerous. I don't want people getting lots of extra critical hits there!

 

another idea,
be able to remove specific abilities.
so for example be able to remove insta-break all together
or double drop
or any combination?

 

i just received this error on my server

Permissions... like configuration, is one of the less fun areas to work on, which is why I was putting it off =P. I'll dig into it soon. Also, regarding the multi-world support, I'll try to get to that too

I'll look into it

Hi, this is the perfect plugin i have been searching for, so that i no longer have to rely on in-house external plugin systems.. so well done for such an awesome plugin

on to business (so to speak).. when entering the /stats command is there any way to not display the max critical or dodge? eg. chance to crit: 0/80.0, i just want to display like 0.0%.

EDIT
also, i have tested the retain bit (test at 100) but still loose all of my levels and xp. any ideas?

Thanks

 

Is this compatible with mcmmo?

 

this would be why mine wasnt working .. oops

 

I'd like to see an option to adjust the equation that determines how much XP is needed for each level. I tested this plugin on my PVP server and basically what happens is all the top players built huge mob grinders to level up and then completely dominated everyone.

- Maybe make it so you can change it so it's 3x harder than usual to level up.
- Or make it so you only get XP from killing other players?

 

How to Install this Plugin?

 

1. Download betterleveling.jar
2. Put betterleveling.jar into the "plugins" folder
3. Restart server

 

Make it to where you don't lose levels upon death!

 

having an issue setting the % of xp dropped upon death below 100.. when i try to set the value to 50 or 75% it drops nothing.. if i switch it back to 100 it works fine..

 

is it possible to make PercentageChancePerLevelToDoubleDrop and PercentageChancePerLevelToInstaBreak work with double precision. cuase i currently use 0.4 on my server but it reads it as 0.

 

I have instant break on 0 but everytime i break a stone block it instant breaks, my level is at 97 but shouldnt it not instant break

 

Yeah, yeah, permissions support will be just awesome! That's exactly what I need. Nearly infinite possibilities)
And may be you can add accurate damage data in chat messages, for instance, percentage ratio between dealt damage and full hp of a target or exact value in half-hearts instead of (2x)? That's will be epic

 

Hey i made a little showcase about this


Mind if you check it out?

 

Really great plugin

 

is there a way i can turn off insta break.

 

I really liked the plugin, it improves the game a lot.
It is extra fun with the monster hunt plugin by the way.

But i'm having a little issue.
When i set values diffrent from 0 or 100 to PercentageOfXPDropped an PercentageOfXPRetained it comes out as 0.
For example if i set both to 50 i'll keep nothing and drop nothing.
If i set PercentageOfXPRetained to 100 it keeps all my levels.

Am i doing something worg?

 

and another thing
instabreak still happening even with PercentageChance set to 0

 

I'm having the same problems as deatlock.

 

I have an error on my console. I dont know what is it...
