    DwarfCraft - Player progression plugin with skills that are improved by training(not xp):
    Current Version: v1.01
    Authors: smartaleq, LexManos and RCarretta

    Introduction:
    DwarfCraft is a plugin for minecraft (via Bukkit) that allows players to improve their characters skills and capabilities. Players can pay trainers to improve their skills, which provides benefits such as increased weapon damage, decreased tool wear, increased drops from blocks or mobs, etc. Because of the training system, DwarfCraft can provide an interesting and fun RPG base for Survival MP servers that will remain relevant and interesting for casual and intense players alike.

    Features:
    • Players may choose to play as Dwarves or Elves. Switching resets all skills. The race names are entirely configurable.
    • Elves play very similar to vanilla Minecraft with slight nerfs for balance (to farming mostly)
    • Dwarves have 40+ skills that progress from level 0 (worse that normal) to level 30 (extremely proficient). Each skill has several effects. Most effects reach par at skill level 5. New supported skills will be released.
    • Skills are improved by paying a training cost to a trainer. Server admins may place trainers and customized messaging NPC. Skill costs increased with level and balanced to encourage specialization.
      • Example: To train"Pickaxe Use" from 0 to 1 cost 16 cobblestone. To train from 15 to 16 cost 640. At level 0 pickaxes degrade 20% faster than normal, at level 20 they degrade about 45% slower.
    • Skills and Effect details are easily found through in-game commands. A general summary of skills is in the post below, along with design goals discussion.
    Players - Getting Started:

    Show Spoiler

    Welcome, Dwarf <whateveryournameis>!
    To get started in a DwarfCraft world, you should know what it is, exactly, that is different.

    Your mining sucks. You get less coal, iron, cobblestone, and gold. Your sword does pitiful damage. Animals don't drop things when you punch them. Falling hurts. A lot. Burning too. Zombies rearrange your face. Dirt doesn't pile up quite like it used to. For some reason when you craft planks you make less. Three sticks too. And less fences and stairs. Also, raw pork isn't very filling. And farming seems totally worthless.

    Guess what? You're a level 0 Dwarf.
    I know it seems awful now, being the brunt of jokes and suffering all that punishment, but I have good news, friend. At least you're not an elf! See, the elves gloat now, with their 1.0 stone drop rate and their filling porkchops, but after you spend the time to level your bowman skill to master and turn their day to night with a hail of 3.5 damage per shot arrows... well, then they'll be sorry!

    The road to mastery may be hard, Dwarf, but the payoff is well worth it- Diamonds dropping by the handful, creepers leaving 5 gunpowder behind with their corpse, your sword dealing double damage to monsters, and cliff falls leaving nary a scratch. Along the way, you may find your calling as a crafter as well. Just as you depend on your friends for supplies, they may depend on your specialties. Craft 4 times as many brickblocks as your neighbor? That's a marketable skill, my friend!

    So off with you, Dwarf, into the wilds of your world (and one day to the Nether, perhaps)! Start by discussing the terms of your advancement with the local trainers. When you've gathered their material demands, sock it to 'em, and see your diligence rewarded with an ever-improving arsenal of advantages.

    Players - Getting the most out of DwarfCraft:
    Show Spoiler

    You'll benefit the most from DwarfCraft by doing two things:
    1) Get your skill levels in the necessities up to a reasonable level. No matter what your playstyle is, you probably want most of the stone and wood skills to 5 (the cost is small and the payoff large). The same is true of climbing and sword skills, or you may find yourself dead much more often than you're used to.
    2) Pick a few activities you love to do and train train train! If you're only marginally better than someone else, they won't have much use in trading with you. Try and get 1 or 2 skills to 20 that you can leverage to gather other valuable materials. If you're a master sailor, don't spend all day mining cobblestone, go sailing on the lookout for pumpkins, mushrooms, and clay. If you're a monster hunter with a bow, 5 minutes out at night is worth far more than the hundred cobblestone you could collect.

    I'm not saying to stop doing things you find fun! Instead, train up the things you find fun so you can do it better and get rewarded for doing it.

    I'll use myself as an example. I far prefer chopping trees to mining for diamonds, and love to chase animals and explore. To support this, I trained these skills above level 5: woodchopping, axe use, woodcrafting, swordsman, animal hunting, and climbing. To shore up some weaknesses, I traded several stacks of logs for several stacks of cobblestone, because I have poor cobblestone mining skill and my friend has poor lumberjack skills. I used the stone to train up the Excavator and Quarry Worker skills to 5, so that I can manage to get cobblestone when i need it, without suffering the very low drop rates at level 0. When I want cobblestone for constructions, its often very easy to find someone in need of wood. I also do woodcrafting (1 log -> 6 planks) in exchange for fee or a cut. When I find a diamond vein while digging, I usually leave it, and sell the location information to a better diamond miner.

    Sometimes, my mining friend(RCarretta) and I will go on adventures exploring underground caves. I'll take the point through natural caves, with sword and bow at the ready, while he harvests the ores we find. When we reach a dead end, we dig in different directions, and take the first new path together. We're able to survive very long times underground with very little additional supplies because I carry extra leather for armor and can handle most creature situations, and his tools last quite a while. High level gravel digging keeps me supplied with flint and decent monster hunter skill pulls a sizable amount of feathers from zombies, which combine to keep my quiver topped off.

    Admins - How to install DwarfCraft
    DwarfCraftV1.04.zip contains updated jar and sqlite file. Do not mix with pre-V1.03 config files.
    DwarfCraftV1.01.zip. Unzip the archive to your CraftBukkit root directory. Use this if looking for a stable build.
    Show Spoiler

    Archive Contents:
    /plugins/DwarfCraft.jar
    /plugins/DwarfCraft/DwarfCraft.config - General server config variables including race names and file locations
    /plugins/DwarfCraft/Messages.config - Configurable plugin messages, such as welcome, info, rules, etc.
    /plugins/DwarfCraft/GreeterMessages.config - Flatfile storage of NPC greeter messages. For version 1.0, greeter messages must be manually added before the NPC is created. Dynamic message insertion is on the roadmap for future versions.
    /plugins/DwarfCraft/skills.config and effects.config - Supported skills and effects. Any change to these may result in unexpected errors. If you would like help in customizing balance for your server, contact smartaleq via PM.
    /plugins/DwarfCraft/dwarfcraft.db - A sqlite database, pre-created empty for you. If you want to reset your players completely, delete this and create a new file of the same name.
    /lib/sqlite.jar - A required library for SQLite to operate

    DwarfCraft has no plugin dependencies, and should play well with others. Some notes:
    • [Econ] Econ plugins are recommended with DwarfCraft. Training for "currency" will not be supported (ever!), so trade, auction, or shop plugins will likely help your players get their hands on those oh-so-valuable pumpkins early.
    • [Mech] Transmutation plugins may conflict, crafting plugins may conflict. Using DwarfCraft with McMMO, Skills, LevelCraft, etc. will likely screw everything up. Other Mech plugins may or may not work. Generally, the more they affect player actions, the more likely they are to cause problems.
    • [Chat] [Fun] [TP] and [Info] plugins should all work without any issues.
    • [Admin] [Sec] and [Gen] plugins will probably work.
    *Warning* Installing DwarfCraft on an existing world where players have large stockpiles of materials may completely screw up the balance of the mod. New or young worlds should be used if at all possible. If your players have every skill at 20 and think that the game is too easy, stockpiles were your problem. You've been warned.


    NO PERMISSIONS WILL BE SUPPORTED UNTIL BUKKIT INTEGRATION. Requests for permissions plugin integration will be ignored (and possibly ridiculed).

    Admins - Getting Started
    Show Spoiler

    First run instructions:
    After you have the DwarfCraft files installed, the first thing you'll need to do for your players to benefit from DwarfCraft is to create trainers.
    Join your server, go somewhere and type: /createtrainer Test1 TestTrainerDummy 1 30
    This will create a new trainer at your location(facing and look-direction) with name TestTrainerDummy, that trains skill #1 (pickaxe use) and can train to maximum level of 30(the max).
    Left click on him to verify skills are loaded.
    Give yourself 16 cobblestone.
    Right click on him to verify training is working.
    Type /skillsheet to verify that your skill increased to level 1.
    /save-all and restart the server. Verify that he is still there.
    type /removetrainer Test1 and verify that he has been removed.
    If you have any problems through this point: pm smartaleq

    Admins - Creating a playable DwarfCraft server
    Show Spoiler

    For your server to have a thriving community of dwarves, you will need to provide trainers for all the skills you want, in enough places to be convenient. You will also need rules that encourage either co-operation or competition for resources. If every player goes after the same skills, the plugin doesn't provide much benefit at all.
    As an example of a working community, the author's server has rules that require all trainers to be in an "appropriate" location, and not a room full of trainers. Most trainers created in the world are given a maximum training level of 15-20, based on where they are created. Only a few level 30 trainers are created. This gives our players an incentive to build impressive things, justifying the placement of "master" trainers. Using remote trainer creation, it is possible for an admin to create trainers without any hassles. As our baseline, each Towny town will eventually have one of every trainer the mayor desires.
    Read the Players sections for more thoughts on what your community may need.

    Show Spoiler
    [85] Archer - Arrow Damage and Enemy Feather/Arrow Drops
    [87] Swordsman - Sword Damage and Durability

    Hunting Skills: These skills allow a player to gather more resources for killing enemies with sword or bow. Note that this mod completely removes drops from creatures killed in any other way, to prevent "automated mob farming"
    Show Spoiler

    [81] Animal Hunter - Pig, Cow, Sheep, Chicken
    [82] Monster Hunter - Creeper, Skeleton, Spider
    (Repeat)[85] Archer - Zombie

    [92] Leader - (With Towny) affects the maximum town size, for town mayors.
    [99] Noble - Dwarf Fortress nobles are useless. DwarfCraft nobles mine obsidian better, and it costs 100s of eggs to train. Any player that collects 100s of eggs and spends all day mining obsidian is just like a Dwarf Fortress noble.

    Proposed Skills: These skills are ideas brought up in the thread or elsewhere, and are candidates for future implementation. None of these will be worked on before v1.0 is bug-free and widely used. -

    Obviously, this plugin was partially inspired by Dwarf Fortress. If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend you play and donate: Dwarf Fortress & donate

    The goals of this plugin were to enable some sort of character progression in Minecraft with a focus on specialization and distinction between player capabilities.Because all players are equally adept at every task, making someone an "expert" miner costs 3 diamond and nothing more. We wanted to foster a community and world where players could distinguish themselves by becoming the go-to person for certain tasks.

    The first conceptualized skill was "Precious Stone Miner", which allows a skilled dwarf to gain more diamond, gold, or redstone from their ores. The thinking is that, by making it expensive to train the skill, each Town (or sub-group, or group of friends, etc.) would want to "invest" their resources in training up only a few individuals in that skill. If a non-skilled player found a large diamond vein or two, it would be beneficial for him to request the aid of the skilled player. The diamond player might only be passable at woodcutting, and would go to someone else for more efficient tree-cutting and plank crafting.

    Even with players becoming specialized, we didn't want anyone to feel 'gimped' and unable to compete. The skills were balanced so that at a moderate level (5 in most cases) a player was as good as a vanilla Minecraft player at the associated tasks. Next, we addressed how training should work so that it would be easy to get to level 5, but require significant teamwork to get above 20.

    For training, we wanted to use as wide an assortment of materials as possible while keeping the costs aligned with the benefits. Additionally, in vanilla Minecraft some materials are gathered in huge quantities and are rarely used because they are "ugly" such as dirt, gravel. Others are used sparingly because they have limited direct usefulness or are quickly out-classed such as flint, eggs, gold, string, even leather. We tried to make training use up the rarely used items in large amounts, while keeping often used items available for both training and use. The table below lists which items used are used to train which skills. Quantities are balanced so that level 0-5 should take less than 15 minutes, and never more than an hour.

    If you cant wait, try this.

    Most everything seemed to work except text output and that you cant break blocks with food.
    The changes made in the new version of bukkit werent that bad to fix, the worst was block listeners being removed and shifted to player interaction ones instead.

    Worst case, i missed something major and you go back to waiting. As always, backup your files.

    No offense, but the guy with the "Member Since: Yesterday" tag telling me to download an unauthorized redo of a plugin from a random share site saying it may cause errors isn't exactly something I follow along with on any given day. The dev replied yesterday, so he's not dead. I'll wait.

    Couldnt figure it out with my limited patience, so i just forked the entire project and sent him a link.

    It worked with the latest bukkit build, whatever that was. My MC server console makes it out to be Bukkit-0.0.0-612-g4c7a9e7-b617jnks.

    It looks like there are quite a few changes in bukkit since the 1.4 version, things like org.bukkit.block.BlockDamageLevel do not seem to exist anymore, hmm...

    daemitus

    That I couldnt figure out, since theres no new corresponding global or function for damage level. The other listeners mostly were either just renames, or in the case of BlockInteractEvents, were moved to PlayerInteractEvents.

    So I figured out how pull requests actually work. Fork it, work on my own branch (if I dont have access on the author's own project?) and then request the author take my changes. Simple enough if my merges werent such a cluster instead of individual commits.

    Part of the fun of getting to use an addon before an official patch is pushed out. The weird letters and the following number are a color code that isnt being parsed properly.

    If you look at something like y6Archery y2[y920y2] it just means Archery[20] once you get rid of the extra trash. Make do for now, or uninstall and wait it out

    Thread title says up to 527, and you're running 617...............................

    617 is the latest RB which is also Minecraft Beta 1.4. Anything 600+ is 1.4, which this plugin is not updated to, hence the [527] in the title.

    Ill admit my pull is a mess, and I havent had the time(nor do I plan to for probably a week) to clean it up. Anyways, since his last post, I havent heard anything. So honestly best plan for now, use what I posted or continue as is. If you want, I can strip the color codes out so things are readable, Im not entirely sure whats causing the issue.

    As far as I know though, the ÿ is what makes the color happen. It may be an encoding thing with the way netbeans compiles. However for the time being,

    has been updated with a version with no color. Everything is readable in plain boring white.

    Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the line that is forcing the ÿ to replace the &'s that actually enable colored text?

    On second note, did you add that or was that part of the original build? Because definietely & followed by a hex value 0-F enables color, and I see no reason for it to convert to ÿ's.
