mc.ktn.ch

 

Sorry not at the Moment, still i will improve the Plugin, and i keep that on scope.
Sincerely Thomas

 

Ideas:

- Add the FTF option, with maybe a special log entry on the web interface, and a FTF prize property in the config.
- List all nearby caches, sort by distance.

Thats all I got for now, great plugin! Quite a few of our player geocache on a regular basis, so its fun to see them follow the general rules of trading up.

 

Hey Thomas, interesting that Warhawk just said that, but I was thinking about FTF today! I feel like the functionality might already exist though...

If I create a custom cache, then put items in it, will they stay there when someone finds and logs the cache? Then they would find a FTF prize and still get randomly generated loot.

Also, can you add a way to make waypoint caches? I want to guide people into caves and other places, but if I set a traditional cache, they are likely to find a point above it and then dig down to it and skip the stuff that I want them to go through.

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

 

Waypoints are a good idea here - I think the problem would be having to have a system like a waterfall - create a cache that is linked to another cache ID. The last cache would be the overall "cache", containing the items and such, but all the rest lead to that cache. So its a multi-cache, but the coding would be a tad different in concept.

( [last]<----[third]<----[second]<----[first] ) = "Looking_For_You!"
First = <name>_#1
Second = <name>_#2
Etc...

Also, any chance of porting to MySQL? I think that it would be a hell of a lot easier to use indexes to label the caches, then link them based on the index. It would also be better than trying to load hundreds of flatfiles that spam the console...

 

Yes thats true. I could still make a ftflootlist for autocreated Caches...

I just think about doing 2 things:
1.) make Caches hidden (not findable via /geo find and rightklick by compass) So you could only find them with /geo find nameofthecache
2.) Add a custom Message to the Cache, that will be read if you open the box..
With that method, you can make 4 caches, hide 3 and give the name of the next cache as message on the first.. Also you could make many Caches, needed to make / get a riddle or a quest to find the Name of a Specialchest.
So there would be no need to "hardlink" those Caches. You just pass the name to the player and he may search for it.

As long, as i can "live" with the Textfiles, i would not go for mysql.
Reason: I allways try to keep things as easy as possible. This plugin runs out of the box. No config needed.

I could add a config option, to stop some output in the console, if that would help you.

What do you think about this ?
Sincerely Thomas

 

That would be good! I personally like SQL, mainly because I code backend code that deals with DB's, but for simplicities sake, I completely understand. Possibly an option in the future where we can switch between the two? I know others like SQL as well, but I do understand the problem of then having to design the code to deal with a selected DB and trying to either narrow or widen your user base with certain DB engines.

 

Hey! Great plugin, me and my users have been having a lot of fun with it, but I'm still not sure how it works... Auto-generated caches are only created on new chunks, correct? I have a map-limiter in use, and we've pretty much gotten most of the caches from explored chunks, but there are some that are in loaded chunks, but beyond the border... is there any easier way to limit/destroy these? Or do caches respawn for loaded blocks?

 

Hey Thomas, I like your multi-cache idea. Is it already possible to do something like you described, or is that something that you'll have to add?

 

All "seen" chunks are stated as ruled, and saved in chunklist.data file. there will no new chaches be placed.
You can delete the gc files of those ouside your boundries and restart.
Just check x and z in the gc files for being out of your area.

I would add it like that. it would leave a wide area of possibilieties open (example make a sign with some letters and dots on differen caches, if you have all you have the bonus cache etc).

I am quite busy atm, but i guess i will implement that this week.

Sincerely Thomas

 

Thanks Thomas, can you please also add a FTF loot list? It would be cool also if you could make a configurable message that will print to chat when the person is the FTF, that way they know.

 

Hey Thomas, I'm not able to create caches any more. I was creating them with no problem earlier, but now I can't and there's no error reported to the server. It just reads in chat:

 

/geo create cachename some descrioptions....

/geo create cachename
will not work ..

If it is not this, i have no clue, because i dindt change that code since 0.5

I will make some tests on my server..

 

The web interface isn't working for us: http://mc.nalum.no/geo/
It says "Unable to open file!" even though the geocachedir path in config.php is correct.

 

You have to use the command
/geo webkey
once ingame. this creates the file needed.
Also make sure, your webserver has the right to read the files in the Directoy where the plugin/GeoCacher data resides.

Greetings Thomas

 

Nice plugin!

- Can you add a setting for currency name? Can't change from "coins".

- Can you make it so we can configure how often a cache can be found? As now, one player will find it, and just get everyone summoned over. I'd like to be able to have it expire somehow.

- For server generated caches, /geo delete GCxxxx, just gives me the help again. I am an OP, didn't spell the name wrong either...

- Possible add two config variables that specify an X and Z coordinate. Within that rectangle, no chests can spawn? This would allow servers to block caches appearing within their center area.

 

Hi Thomas
It still doesnt work :/

 

Check the config.php Make sure there is a / at the end.
$geocachedir='/opt/minecraft/minecraft/plugins/GeoCacher/';


EDIT: Works now, it was a Permission issue on that Server
Check your Apache Error-Logs if you have this Error Thnx

1.) I will add a Configvar to change the name of Money
2.) GeoCaching is somehow a MultiUser fun thing. And like in Realworld, there will allways be some "rushes" on new Caches. Thats part of the "mechanics". So sorry, in near future, i will not make any "limit" to how many Users can find a Caches in a certain time.
3.) You have to stay near the Cache < 5 Fields and type /geo delete
Without a name, to delete the Cache. with a Name is currently not supported but on my todo list.
You can also just delete the corresponding .gc files and restart the server to delete the Cache. The Box will stay in place, till removed, but will no longer fiunction as a Cache.

Sincerely Thomas

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

 

Ahh that's how delete works, thanks!

One other thing, most servers have a map with a border. Does that not mean caches will stop spawning when the entire map is explored for the first time. If I purge an area of the map, will it recognize those chunks are being regenerated, or does it simply check chunk filenames or so?

 

The Plugin has a List of allready seen Chunks.
It will not create any Caches on Chunks allready stated "seen" by the plugin.
You can start over if you like by:
1.) stop server ,
2.) delete the chunkdata.list file in the GeoCacher plugin dir,
3.) start the Server again
It the reroles all the Chunks which gets "seen" the First time again. It will also check against the Space of existing Caches again. This will prevent you from "Flood" your server with Caches.

Sincerely Thomas

 

Was suddenly getting errors in log:

http://pastebin.com/9yAdbpZs

Plugin died, had to restart/disable.

 

Did you delete some Caches between server restart and this error ?
It seems it tried to compare against a non existing cache..

I just made a fix for this Problem.. Even this should not exist, it will handle it now somehow ;-)
Download the new Version

Thank you.
Thomas

 

New Version 1.1

Added LootEvent
Create a FTF Loot Plugin
Made some minor improvments.

Have Fun
Sincerely Thomas

 

Alot Changed..
Get 1.2 and the AddOns you need..
Example get GeoCacher1.2 and Loot and FTF and BOSEconomy, if you want Extra Loot for FTF and Money for BOSEconomy and Normal Loot.

This makes it a lot easier to maintain, if a 3rd Party plugin changes, you just remove the broken Add-On and no problem exist with the GeoCacher plugin

Sincerely Thomas

 

hey got a small problem..
i edited the loot but everytim i oben a cache its empty or someone other ... so need help how to get a 100% chance to have the loot inside

EDIT: ok got it but its all full of random loot not the items i want inside =/

 

Post the Configs of GeoCacher and the AddOns and Versions.
If possible set debug to true in all configs ( geocacher and addons )

Sincerely Thomas
