[INACTIVE][ECON] ecoCreature 0.0.5b - PvM/E Rewards [740]

ecoCreature 0.0.5b - PvM/E Rewards

Description:
Based upon the stories of iMonster and CookieMonster, this nifty little plugin will allow you, the server owner to hand out more than the default, boring sets of items dropped from creatures on your server.

Apart from allowing extra drops, how about economy support through iConomy & Essentials Economy as well as BOSEconomy? But... we just forgot one, MineConomy! (it works, too!)

Did you like how iMonster treated your currency rewards without those decimals? Fully optional here!
As if that wasn't enough, reward and penalty messages, fully customizable from your end!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:

• Currencry rewards through iConomy. Messages are customizable.
• Currency penalties, if thats your wish - with customizable messages.
• Extra drops from all animals and monsters.
• Prevent camping around monster spawners, fully optional.
• Prevent rewards through the use of bow and arrow, optional with custom message.
• Penalty for dieing, fully optional and can be set at percentage level. Custom messages.
• Beloved donors and special members can earn more money through a simple permission switch, set in percentage gain.
• Silent rewards, through the options. No more messages about rewards, penalties and such.
• + more! (Read the config file for all the juicy details!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! Requirements:

• iConomy 4.6.5
• Permissions 2.7.2
• CraftBukkit 740
• * BOSEconomy 0.6.2 (Only required if you do not have iConomy)
• * Essentials 2.1.x (Only required if you do not have iConomy)

• Specifying a drop amount for a creature will give it a random between 0 and the specified amount now.

He would thus have the same problem as me?

 

Only if you are getting the message here below
[ecoCreature] Please configure ecoCreature (plugins/ecoCreature.yml) before continuing. Plugin disabled.

 

No I have such a message:/ I believe to have found the problem anyway... Permissions do not absolutely work at home... I uninstalled quite my plugings and I try to paramètrer this monster which really begins to get on nerves of me.
Be that the fact that the name of my world is: Heavenly Island can make bug Permissions? Can be that he does not accept Heavenly Island.yml ?

How to change the name of my world in that case there? I am sorry I leave for irrelevant...

 

I think naming the worlds strangely or with spaces can make permissions buggy, I'm not sure... but your config for permissions need to have the same name as the world

 

I return with a good piece of news ! EcoCreature works! It was simply of in the name of the world and in a bad installation of Permissions. And doubtless because of some plugings also.. But it is adjusted ! Thank you very much of your help !

 

Is there a way to make this plugin compatible with naturalGiants, since there is no other possibility to spawn giants naturally, right? Natural giants seems to work with your plugin, but I don't get any money or items configured in your plugin I always get the error message:

Or is there a way to disable giants in your plugin? I've tried to delete the giants in the config but got the following error message when killing one:

 

Got that, newly installed, altered config file:

Congratulations on getting an error related to the drops, which should of have been fixed since ages ago... but, then you have an ancient configuration file and looks like its for the 0.0.4 series.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Entity is already tracked!
That error is from naturalGiants and has nothing to do with ecoCreature, I'm sorry.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/nijiko/permissions/PermissionHandler
Permissions must of have been found to begin with, but then it seems like it had issues hooking up to it at a later point, it checks a users / groups permission for ecoCreature.Creature.CraftGiant or ecoCreature.Creature.*

More of these have been popping up as of late, I'll rewrite a few bits and get a new version out in a while, see if it does hook correctly... thats what I believe it doesn't do, or if its in conflict with something else.

I'm happy that you got it to work, finally

 

ChrisB: I have permissions installed and it's in the default place (plugins folder) - why can't ecoCreatures find it?

 

Hard to say, could you stop by on IRC? irc.esper.net in the channel #iConomy

 

@ChrisB

Could you please add in a check to not allow drops from mobs if they are within the vicinity of a iron or wooden door? The players on my server have made cages similar to the one pictured below that allows them to sit and hit mobs all day, as the doors only allow for damage in one direction.

Thank you very much!!

 

Can't blame them for being crafty
I'll add some more fancy stuff in the next version, expect your idea to come to use in a way you never thought you'd think ... thinkynessylike. Well, I'm implenting it with a twist

 

I love this plugin thanks for the work on it I have noticed something with the death penalty if your using integer=true it doesn't seem to round that one. Anyway that can be fixed? it makes my money look like i have more than i do i don't like decimals in my money keeps it cleaner on the list. Anyway hope it can be fixed thanks again for the awesome work.

 

Ah, thanks for reporting it, I'll fix it for the next version

 

@ChrisB

Late reply, but yes it ended up resolving, I had to take town the server and reboot it for it to show a .yml file.

 

Good thing you got it working, I will try to make everything easier with the next release, in terms of upgrading / new installs.

 

This plugin isnt workin for me. My servers runnin the latest bukket (677) and the plugin seems to install fine. The death penalizing works fine if I die while fighting I get iconomy money taken away fine. But when I kill something I get this error in my log:

Code:

This seems to be pretty serious:

Players ONLY get credit for killing mobs with swords.

Killing mobs with emptyhands or with any other item in hand does no give credit.

We use mcMMO which lets uses level axes and other skills for weapons. Can it be fixed up so they get credit no matter what they kill with?

 

Broken download link! D=

This looks awesome. I was trying out Monster Hunt, but I couldn't get it to work. Really want this plugin!

 

Fixed.

I will see if I can get a workaround for those with mcMMO, its a bit frustrating I know.

 

I have a distinct feeling it's mcMMO doing something bad with events not created by swords (Canceling thing?). I just started perusing the code for mcMMO. It's not pretty.

 

awesome good to hear I have another feature that would be pretty cool unless there is already a way to do this. I have an arena for players to kill mobs spawned from falsebook spawners or do pvp and what i want to do is create a gladiator group so that the players in the arena wouldn't lose money when they die and also not make money from killing mobs during those times. What i tried was just take away the ecoCreature.* but the player still lost money when he died. A death penalty permission node would be perfect

*edit - just did some testing and it seems it still drops uquest and the item drops but not money which I would like to block it all to prevent abuse.

 

Does this plugin support permissions 2.7?
Its working but my players are not getting any drops or money...

Oh and one more thing: Our server has multiple levels of VIP, any chance of supporting custom named groups and each one getting a different bonus?

 

Request:

New permission node: ecoCreature.NoDeathPenalty

This will let people build in the creative world without losing money to oops-deaths.

 

Same results here, I win money but they have no money and no message
Using Permissions, but GroupManager as main plugin for that

I added each group to the eCreature config without success

Anyone have a clue for me ?

 

And same, using permissions 2.7. Added the correct permissions, but there are no drops, iconomy money given, or messages. Using bukkit 677 and ecoCreature .05a

 

I love your plugin, but could your PLEASE stop changing the config file? Unnecessary changes like new color char and stuff like that? It's so annoying. -.-

Or just update the config file automaticlally.

EDIT: Using 0.0.5a, the %c tag doesn't seem to work any more. It's printing %c in the message instead of showing the amount of <insert currency here> gained.

 

Figured it out: delete the config file and let it regenerate, now it works.

 

i've been killing monsters from a distance and i'm getting no rewards, i have bows set to true and everything should work. I have a feeling it is part of the plugin that makes it so that if you kill a monster somewhat far away from you then it doesn't register it to give you a reward.
Could it be made so that the plugin will register that that mob was killed and that the player should receive the reward (or not) no matter the distance between you and the monster?
