Nice work man! I love your plugins

 

For the space you can fix it adding a space behind the Season name in your properties file

But I think that it should be :

Code:

Currently it's the <name> for another <nu> days.

I'll modifiy it soon and replace the current 1.1 version

 

Well, you could just allow the message to be changeable in the config so everyone set their own preferences :}

 

Loving the latest plugin.

Seeing as rain, thunder and lightning can be forced, can we possibly force sun?

And how are custom seasons created, its very odd looking, and even more confusing! Tutorial, or examples please???

 

First the command /rain or /thunder not can force rain and thunder if it's sunny but if it's already raining, it stops the rain
It's just a switch in fact.
And yeah message could be configurable but i need to work a bit about that so
I don't know if multiworld will be available in 1.2

For the examples, there are default seasons in the download, but what do you want me to do ?
To make a video with a configuration and just wait weather change ?
Perhaps, perhaps ...

 

Nice plugin. However I grather use mothernature untill someone finds a way to force global snow.
Because, I realy realy realy like snow.

Also it would be nice if this plugin had a /calm or /sun or /normal command to stop the current rain or thunderstorm.
Sometimes you just don't want it to be raining when ur doing something.

 

yes, the bypass biome function would really be interesting.

 

Can we have more than 2 seasons right now? When I edit the 'Seasons.seasons' file to add more it is throwing this error when I load the server.

Code:

14:41:20 [INFO] [Seasons] Plugin Seasons, by Rominos2, version 1.1, is enabled.

Copy of my config:

Code:

#Here is the template of a season with percentage of weather
#Seasons Name:No weather , Rain/Snow , Rain/Snow + Thunder
#Make sure it's 100% for each line
#Each line correspond to a season
Summer:80,15,5
Autumn:60,30,10

Winter:60,30,10
Spring:15,70,15

Edit: never mind after pasting to here from notepad I saw the invisible carriage return before winter.

 

I just download the files to take peak and you add custom seasons like this.
Go into your Seasons.seasons file.

And add a line like this:
#Seasons Name:No weather , Rain/Snow , Rain/Snow + Thunder
#Dry Season:80,15,5
How it works:
Name: % time no weather, %time raining, %time thunderstorm

Make sure the %'s in total make 100 %
Thus this is a good example.
Dry Season:80,15,5
This is Dry Season with 80% of it being good weather, 15 % being rainy weather, 5% being thunderstorm weather.

Does that make any sense?

Try removing the space between Autumn and Spring.
Seeing the only non commented lines in there are the ones containing seasons.
I would assume the plugin thinks the empty line is a season too.
Therefore causeing this problem.

 

Sigh...

Dropped this in, and started the server. It just rains and goes sunny really fast and violently....like within seconds. The day counter goes super fast like warp speed.

Can't anyone write a plugin that works?

 

--> SeeD419
Don't grumble like that
Just write more details
The day counter just verify if the time of the world have made a loop
So verify if there is no conflicts between plugins.

 

Is it possible to have another option like "sunny days" where grass and leaves which would get there colors transformed in yellowish ones ? And/or transform grass into dirt randomly ? But it's maybe impossible...

Another great plugin !

 

Yes I think too that it's possible but it is not for the seasons plugin
Just maybe : Sunny Day or something else
But biome will actually takes for some moment ^^

 

"Rain or Snow without regarding biomes" This is going to be possible? ReallY? Cant WAIT if that is so..

 

I actually don't know if it's possible I don't have searched already
But I will work on it soon

 

. At the time of my last post it linked to v.1, but works fine now so nevermind

 

Can you write an innovative and good working plugin? No.
Can rominos2 write an innovative and good working plugin? Yes, quite frankly, you're on the plugin's thread now.

 

Do you think you could add a feature that snow and ice will not melt by torchlight no matter what, but snow will melt once the season ends(in the daylight)?

Or direct me to a plug that does this?

 

Im very intrested. Im going to install this onto my server when I finish moving to to another computer. Just an idea snow melts in certain seasons?

Edit:Just read the post above me :L

 

uhm its raining..... but it says dry season?

also getting this error spammed when ever i try to reload server:

17:32:58 [SEVERE] Nag author: 'rominos2' of 'Seasons' about the following: This plugin is not properly shutting down its async tasks when it is being reloaded. This may cause conflicts with the newly loaded version of the plugin

 

For the Ice, it's no already faking biomes so it's not snowing
But melting will be added when it would snow

For the rain in Dry Season :
Yes I have some surprises likes that ^^
Normally in the default .seasons file,
I put a 80% sunny time so perhaps we'are too lucky.
I will start gambling today ^^
No seriously, I'll give a look
So Hard day ^^

 

Just another idea: is it possible to vary the light level or make it look like night during the day? Would be cool to have the day slowly darken without rain before a massive thunderstorm (inspired by an actual thunderstorm here today - looked like midnight at 2pm before it actually rained).

 

Actually, I can write working plugins. So you're wrong, and have no clue what you're talking about.

Secondly, like I already said, this doesn't work for me. At least if you want to reply attempt to be intelligent

 

--> Zarius
I don't think I can modify the light level but I will search on it.
Too bad for you, where I am, it's bright with sun ^^

-->SeeD419
Thanks I apreciate your posts
But saying it doesn't function not help me resolving the problem
So please tell me the more details you can have.
Like the list of the plugin you use, every Seasons logs or everything I can work on

 

Well, I'm appreciating it, +1 diamonds to you, mate.

Interacts well with plgEssentials, also - the /weather command doesn't cause a conflict.

 

I should not be replying on someone criticising my intelligence. This plugin doesn't work for you because you can't/are too dumb to understand how you should configure the settings.
It's an excellent plugin and works fine for me.

You shouldn't come to this thread and say PLUGIN OR GTFO, tell the developer what's the problem, which plugins you have, etc, so he can actually help you.

 

It's not unreasonable to expect that most plugins should "just work" without even looking at the settings. Having said this however I should note that it's working fine on my CB740 build with 50+ plugins. @SeeD419 Perhaps it's a plugin conflict - posting your plugin listing would be helpful, and, if any, console errors.

 

For the raining during the dry season
I'm testing for half a day and there is no probleme
There is ONLY 4/5 chance having sunny time with the default config
I just supposed it would be enough but some of us have extreme luck ^^

 

I love how every time a plugin has compatibility issues with other plugins that the server administrator is automatically labeled "too dumb to figure it out".

Why is this my fault as the end user? Is it really my own stupidity causing the plugin conflict? Why is it my responsibility to go spend an hour finding potential conflicts this plugin could have? If you're such a die hard fan of the Seasons plugin, how about you go start a new bukkit server and run only seasons? Run only Seasons and then one by one add all of the popular plugins here in the forums and test for compatibility issues. Report back the results when you're finished.

 

That is a waste of time, just report the error and include the list of plugins you have, at the thread of the plugin that is not running correctly and wait for a proper answer.
Don't expect a proper answer if you post a rude complaint like you did.
