[REQ] MobDisguise status widget [w/ Spout]

    The already beloved and famous plugin MobDisguise lets you transform in any mob, by simply typing /md [mob type]. As others may have noticed, it is hard to tell when you are disguised and when not, since you can't see yourself as the disguised mob. A nifty solution for this would be making use of MD's API and Spout's widget feature.

    MD's API (open)

    1. Add mobdisguise as a library
    2. Import me.desmin88.mobdisguise.api.MobDisguiseAPI
    Methods are:
    disguisePlayer(Player p, String mobtype)
    undisguisePlayer(Player p, String mobtype)
    isDisguised(Player p)


    By making a plugin that displays an widget in the upper left corner when you're disguised, this problem should be considered as solved. The widget shouldn't use too much space, so its content should be limited to simply displaying the type of mob that you're disguised as. It would require the plugin to use new commands, since the API limits you to the disguisePlayer(Player p, String mobtype) method.

    Another feature that you are more than free to add is a configurable timer that sets the maximum disguise time, with a cool-down that prevents you from disguising for a configurable amount of time.

    On a side note, this plugin will be the first in the world that creates a widget using Spout!

    the Spyer mod alerts the user by using an item in your hotbar as an indicator. For example, glowstone dust turns to gunpowder when you are invisible. Not as slick as a widget, but effective.

    Why not ask the Dev of MobDisguise to add a player.sendMessage("You are now disguised as __") into his plugin?

    MobDisguise already sends a message upon disguising, but that isn't half as useful/effective as having a widget displaying your disguise. As I mentioned in the OP, you can't see yourself as the disguised mob, so I requested an alternative way of constantly being able to see whether you are disguised or not.

    OOHHHH okay I get it now, like a little picture in the corner of the display that shows what you look like? kinda like how going into you're inventory displays your characters image? That's actually a really neat idea

    I have absolutely no idea what already is possible to display in the widgets, but I was thinking about something like: [​IMG]
    I think that rendering pictures in widgets is possible, so you could probably show a picture of the mob you are disguised as.

    I hope someone can make this for you because it sounds like a really cool widget.. I would do it but I have no idea how to do the widget and I'm currently at a writers block in one of my plugins :p

    NOT possible without client mods or BukkitContrib (maybe? I don't understand contrib...)
    If you are asking for it to be a client mod, it could inevitably be buggy due to it not directly knowing if you are disguised or not.

    You are kidding, right? Spout is the new BukkitContrib, which IS a CLIENT MOD (and more) that ENABLES making widgets etc. etc.

    PS: sorry, "most stupid", not "most stupidest".

    Never heard of it before actually.
    Edit: Don't double post, smart one.
    If this Spout thing requires modification with minecraft.jar, then I was correct in the beginning and this would be impossible.
    By the way, try to be less of an ass, okay? Thanks :D

    What are you talking about? Did you actually read the OP and do you even know what MobDisguise is?

    Look at the edit I made to the post you replied to. And yes, I use it for my server. Calm your tits and learn some respect for other people.

    Once again, what are you talking about? I said your reply is the most stupid(est) reply I've ever seen, because it is the most stupidest reply I've ever seen. You either did not read the OP carefully or do not understand what I said in the OP. In both cases, you should not reply with "impossible, you need a client mod to do that".

    What is Spout?
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/de...-the-flow-of-endless-posibilities-1000.29259/

    What is MobDisguise (and its API)?
    http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/fu...sform-into-any-mob-no-client-mods-1000.28750/

    If you don't mind, I'd like to keep this thread as clean as possible.

    If you wanted to keep this clean you shouldn't have gone off me on. I didn't know what Spout, since it was brand new. Don't expect everyone to know what you do. You never mentioned anything about BukkitContrib so I assumed you wanted a mod that adds whole new aspects and a new popup without any client mods and just a server plugin. Do NOT, I repeat NOT go off on me for information I didn't have. You could have said something simple like "Well using Spout you can have GUI's and such appear in-game from just a server plugin." Keep your cocky attitude and no one will want to help you.

    I never mentioned anything about BukkitContrib because Spout is BukkitContrib, and excuse me for my narrow-mindedness, but I do not see any reason to get upset like that.

    Oh okay, I see. Your world is a one-way conversation. You're one of those narrow minded people who can't point others in the right direction but instead have to slam them into the ground and when they reply (by human nature) with a response that doesn't represent friendship, you say there was no reason for them to comment back with what they say. Good luck finding a dev. If I were you I would watch this series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqyDKnWKwL0&annotation_id=annotation_113444&feature=iv

    I think I gave everybody enough hints to understand that one should use Spout to create the widgets:
    title (open)

    [REQ] MobDisguise status widget [w/ Spout]
    Show Spoiler
    A nifty solution for this would be making use of MD's API and Spout's widget feature.

    4 words is definitely enough of a hint. You've been right, sorry!
    ^ That's what I would have said if you wouldn't have been rude.
    Anyways, as said earlier, good luck finding someone to help. I'm out of here. If you missed the earlier link, I definitely recomend this for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqyDKnWKwL0&annotation_id=annotation_113444&feature=iv

    Actually, I couldn't care less about what you have to say ;) You were right about that you may not know everything, but you shouldn't say that something is impossible without knowing what you are talking about.

    That indeed is a clever way to indicate your invisibility. However, I think that will be inefficient for 14 different mobs.

    @HuntMASTER15
    For someone complaining about how much @Grammar Troll 'overreacted', you seem to be dishing out as much rage as he supposedly is.

    Let it go, man. Just a tip from an outsider looking in on the rant.

    @desmin88
    He's saying that he wants a persistent way to view the disguise you have (via the widgets that Spout offers in its client mod)
    The command you provide is certainly effective, but he wants that 'extra step', so players can choose to display a widget containing the MD info.

    @Grammar Troll
    I like this idea, but I'm too busy to work on it :/
    Hopefully somebody more familiar with Spout's widget mechanisms can make something like this possible
